Terminology

Xyz Monsters

Introduced to the series are Xyz Monsters, which have also been added to the Yu-Gi-Oh! [Trading Card Game]. By stacking two or more monsters of the same level on top of each other, an Xyz Monster with a Rank that matches that level can be summoned. The overlaid monsters, or Overlay Units, can then be used to activate an Xyz Monster's effect. The most prominent Xyz Monsters in the anime series are the Numbers cards, some of which have Chaos Numbers counterparts.
