'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul''''' is the first English-language Yu-Gi-Oh! video game for the Game Boy Advance. It is an English-language remake of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5: Expert 1]]''. Gameplay is similar to standard dueling rules, except that the [[Side Deck]] allows less than 15 cards, and is more for convenience of getting to cards for your Deck than switching between duels, as CPU duels are single duels rather than matches (with some exceptions in events).

==Gameplay==
The player begins with either a [[Initial Deck (EDS)|red, green, or black Deck]]. Opponents are arranged in "tiers," with higher tiers unlocked from already open tiers. A tier may consist of 4 or 5 duelists. In order to advance, all duelists on a tier must be beaten a certain amount of times before the next tier can be unlocked. Beating a tier also unlocks certain in-game events, such as special cards that can only be received by beating that tier.

The game features an in-game calendar. On certain days of the week (not actual days, as the game does not support a real date function) in game, random events may occur, such as receiving a pack of cards in the mail or being challenged to a Match by an opponent. Each time after finishing a duel, the calendar moves on to the next day.

This is the first game to include the card "[[Polymerization]]".

This game is for the most part an English-language localization of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5: Expert 1]]'', but also includes elements from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2]]''.
+
Aside from the above, this game is nearly identical to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel]]'' except that the default animation speed is slower and you have the option of pressing and holding one of the buttons on the game console to speed it up. There are also notably less cards to choose from in comparison to the aforementioned game.

Cards are kept in a Chest where they can be accessed through the Deck Edit in the Main Menu, and may be placed in the Deck or Side Deck. Fusion cards that are added to the Deck do not go towards the 40 card minimum, but as there is not any kind of Fusion Deck in the Deck Edit, they are put together with the Main Deck.

===Cheats and glitches===
* Faster play: When you're playing the rock-paper-scissors before starting a duel, hold R and don't let go until the duel begins. When the duel starts, the duel will go faster. This is like continuously holding the B button.
 
  
* Solomon Muto unlock Glitch: On some occasions, Solomon Muto isn't unlocked despite collecting every different card or beating Simon once. Most of the time, he is unlocked. In extremely rare cases, after a few months or years, Solomon Muto becomes unavailable, also without any known reason. The only way to fix this is to start a new game.
