Carlsbad, CA (February 14, 2008) – You ain’t seen nothing yet! After stunning Duelists around the world last week, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KDE) and Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) today did it again, by unveiling the brand new prize card for Shonen Jump’s 50th Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) Championship Tournament. This record-breaking competition will be held at the Orange County Fair and Exposition Center in Costa Mesa, California on March 8-9, 2008.

In honor of the 50th Shonen Jump Championship, KDE and UDE unveils a new Shonen Jump Championship prize card: “Doomcalibur Knight”!

All season long, in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Jaden has been haunted by a mysterious dark force, and this Winter Jaden’s Deck will be forever changed by it! Evil Heroes will emerge, but you don’t have to wait a day past November 3rd or 4th to play with the new Evil Hero cards first! That’s right, they can only be found in Gladiator’s Assault, so come discover their power before anyone else can.
There’s also a whole new way to battle with the Gladiator Beast monsters. These Beasts are armed to the teeth, and have the power to “tag” in and out of your Deck each turn. When one fights, afterwards it can return to your Deck and bring out another Gladiator Beast in its place! Summoning your Gladiator Beasts this way rewards them with additional powers you can use to destroy your opponent.

The strongest Gladiator is “Gladiator Beast Octavius”. You can get your hands on this awesome new Monster Card just by coming to the Sneak Preview! He’s the perfect monster to lead your new Gladiator Beast Deck to victory. You also have a chance to win a new Sneak Preview T-Shirt just for showing up to the Gladiator’s Assault Sneak Preview!
