The fourth season of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, known in the United States as Yu-Gi-Oh!, aired in Japan on TV Tokyo and the United States on Kids WB. The season comprises forty episodes, which were broadcast in Japan from February 18 to December 17, 2003. In the United States, the season was commissioned in February 2004 and began airing from September 11, 2004 to May 28, 2005.
The season introduces a new enemy into the fold, Dartz, who uses the magic of the Orichalcos stones and his three servants – Alister, Rafael, and Valon — and to bring chaos to the world. Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba face off against the three, using the three legendary dragon cards from the monster world. Meanwhile, Dartz slowly acquires Kaiba's KaibaCorp Company as well as the souls of Yugi, Joey and Pegasus.
The first 28 episodes of the season were released in three DVD volumes between December 2005 and April 2008 through Funimation Productions. The season was fully released on DVD and digital format on March 25, 2014, through Cinedigm, after striking a deal with 4K Media Inc.

Without Yugi by his side to support him, Yami loses faith and is losing to Weevil. Joey struggles against Rex’s enhanced deck until he uses his Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Metalmorph combo.
The duel between Alister and Kaiba continues, with Alister summoning his powerful Sky Fortress Zuggurat. Meanwhile, Mokuba is having trouble controlling the airplane, narrowly escaping a collision with a mountain. Eventually, Roland arrives to help out. Kaiba fuses the Fang of Critias with Tyrant Wing and Blue-Eyes White Dragon to form Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and win the duel against Alister. Critias, Hermos and Timaeus appear and help Kaiba land the plane safely where the Pharaoh and his friends are waiting. Meanwhile, Dartz manages to buy out the rest of Kaiba's company, making him the owner of KaibaCorp.
