Back in the day, moviegoers flocked to theaters to see Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon flicks, and they would leave with some rather special. Movies connected to the popular franchises would give out exclusive trading cards to help audience commemorate the screening, and those promo gifts have become a sought-after commodity.

Here at ComicBook.com, we are breaking down the cards that have been released so far, and the goodies will make some fans want to d-d-duel.

When Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions debuted in Japan, cards were given out for its first four weeks of screening. Four different Kaiba Corporation cards were given out during the run, and they included the following: Lemon Magician Girl, Palladium Oracle Mahand, Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight, and Gandora-X the Dragon of Demolition.

However, fans were particularly interested to learn that both Korea and Germany were gifted with special rare cards. The former locale gave out eight Ultra Rare cards distributed in packs of two with each mystery package holding a new and reprinted card. Those cards also included bonus monsters like Obelisk the Tormentor, Silent Swordsman LV5, Dark Magician, and Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

As for Germany, moviegoers were gifted a surprise Gold Secret Rare card that has been confirmed as Obelisk the Tormentor.

So far, there's no official word on which cards will be released in the U.S., but fans have speculated that Obelisk and Blue-Eyes White Dragon may make a comeback. Given Yu-Gi-Oh! and its U.S. fanbase, it seems likely that more than one promo offer will be open to fans, so multiple cards are a definite option.

Of course, a slew of these cards will be available for purchase thanks to the film's booster pack items. The U.S. Trading Card Game will have five cards per pack with 24 packs per box. The entire collection will be made up of 57 Ultra Rare cards, and it will introduce cards used by Yugi, Seto, and Aigami from the movie.

Here's the official synopsis for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions:

"In Yu-Gi-Oh! THE DARK SIDE OF DIMENSIONS, the stakes have never been higher; the rivalries never as fierce; the risks never so great. One wrong move—one card short—and it's game over for good. A decade in the making, Yu-Gi-Oh! THE DARK SIDE OF DIMENSIONS features new designs and an all-new story from the original creator of the global phenomenon, Kazuki Takahashi. His masterful tale features anime's most beloved characters in their long-awaited return: Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba and their faithful friends Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Téa Gardner and Bakura. It's the most highly anticipated re-YU-nion ever!"
