What is the ruling on the game "Yu-Gi-Oh!"?

The game "Yu-Gi-Oh!" in all its forms (cartoon, electronic, manual cards) is considered one of the games that carry negative creedal effects for several reasons:

1. Corruption of Story and Idea: The game includes myths and fantasies based on pagan, Buddhist, Pharaonic, atheistic, and Christian beliefs. It depicts multiple deities, some things as eternal, and contains magical cards and talismans. It portrays angels as beautiful women and presents the belief in reincarnation and the ability to create from nothing, all of which contradict Islamic monotheism.

2. Corruption of Mechanism and Means: The game relies heavily on luck and conjecture, which resembles playing with dice, which is forbidden by Islamic law. Furthermore, many players introduce compensation into the game, where the winner receives rare or powerful cards that are sold for large sums of money, constituting a form of forbidden gambling (maysir).

3. Corruption of Aim, Purpose, and Effect: The game instills in the minds of players and viewers ideas related to summoning monsters and deities and resurrection from graves, which affects their subconscious minds, thoughts, and beliefs.
