List of episodes

The fourth season of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, created by Kazuki Takahashi, was broadcast in Japan on TV Tokyo from February 18 to December 17, 2003. In the United States, the season was broadcast under the subtitle Waking the Dragons, and aired from September 11, 2004 to May 28, 2005 on Kids' WB. This season aired at the same time that the Millennium World chapters were being written, which would later become Season 5.

The season follows an original story arc in-which Dartz, using the magic of the Orichalcos stones, and his three servants – Alister, Rafael, and Valon — bring chaos to the world. Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba face off against the Orichalcos using three legendary dragon cards from the monster world.

The first 28 episodes of the season were released in three DVD volumes between December 2005 and April 2008 through Funimation. The season was fully released on DVD and digital format on March 25, 2014, through Cinedigm, after striking a deal with 4K Media Inc. The fourth season was formerly licensed by 4Kids Entertainment in North America and other English-speaking countries and territories, and was formerly distributed by FUNimation Productions, LTD. on Region 1 home video and also distributed by Warner Bros. Television Animation through US television rights, when it aired on Kids’ WB!, also in North America. It is now licensed and distributed by Konami Cross Media NY, Inc.
