Like many English adaptations of other anime series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is edited due to Americanization. "GENEX" was also the tentative title of the series as evidenced in early promotional work, and also refers to the Genex Tournament that takes place between episodes 84 and 104. The "GX" in the series' title is short for the term "Generation neXt". Character and monster designs are overseen by Kenichi Hara, while Duel layout is overseen by Masahiro Hikokubo. Takuya Hiramitsu is in charge of sound direction, supervised by Yūji Mitsuya. Scripts are prepared by an alternating lineup of writers - Shin Yoshida, Jun Maekawa, Akemi Omode, Yasuyuki Suzuki-with music arrangements by Yutaka Minobe. Yu-Gi-Oh!
