Kappa (かっ Kappa or カッパ Kappa) is a series of WATER Attribute Aqua Type monsters used by Tell Kawai (and his manga counterpart) in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime and manga.

Members[edit]

The in-theme monsters are based on the kappa, a famous aquatic yōkai of Japanese folklore. Similar to the Chameleon series with "Mechaleon", several members of the series are retroactively added from the OCG, namely "Hyosube", "Kappa Avenger, and "Psychic Kappa". The Rush Duel-original Effect Monster members of the series appear as kappas operating drifting sports vehicles shaped to resemble cucumbers, and named after water-themed puns.

Playing style[edit]

The theme focuses on a defensive, anti-meta strategy, restricting and punishing the use of Level 7 Normal Monsters.
