Starter Box

Although usually considered part of Series 1 of the Japanese OCG, the Starter Box is effectively the first Yu-Gi-Oh! starter deck, bearing much greater similarity to the later English starter decks than to the Japanese structure decks it preceded.

The initial release was on March 6, 1999, coinciding with the Japanese premier of the original ''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie." It included five cards that were not in the second release on March 18. Like other cards printed early on in the game, these cards have no printed set numbers, and lack the distinctive holographic "Eye of Anubis" in the lower right-hand corner of each card.

Of the fifty cards included in the original printing, all but 17 have been since been released in the English Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.
