Although not referred to as Alignments, their earliest mention is in the manga during Yugi and Pegasus' TV Duel. Alignments are used in some video games. The Bandai OCG adopted some the mentioned Alignments as Types. Konami's OCG and TCG have adopted some as Types and some as Attributes.

The Alignments are as follows:

In the manga, the four types of Magic users, Fire, Water, Thunder are mentioned. All of the above ones are used in video games.

In the Bandai game, the four Magic users are used as Types. In the OCG and TCG, Water, Wind, Fire and Earth are used as Attributes, although Earth uses different kanji, Thunder and Demon have Type equivalents; Thunder and Fiend, while the other Magic users are classed as Spellcaster-Type.
