TokyoPop provides a straightforward adaptation of the anime based on the popular collectible card game. Shobu Kirifuda is a young boy whose father was a master at the art of kaijudo—literally “The Art of Fighting With Giant Monsters.” After he mysteriously disappears, Shobu takes up his father’s deck and begins competing. He soon discovers that, like his father, he has the ability to access another dimension where the monsters and powers represented on the cards are real. As he graduates from playing in the cafeteria to high–level tournaments, he soon becomes involved in battles against Knight, the reigning world champion of Kaijudo, and the evil warriors of the mysterious Temple, whose Master is determined to destroy the monster dimension once and for all.
