In the anime, monsters' ATK and DEF as well as duelists' LP are displayed to the viewers with the use of on-screen gauge graphics. With the exception of ZEXAL, these gauges are generally only shown for the viewers' sake and do not actually exist in-universe, as the characters can find the relevant data on their equipment and cards, which may not always be visible on-screen. Each series' point gauges are presented in a different style, thematically matching that of the series itself somehow; in addition, the dubbed versions up until ZEXAL featured different graphics to the Japanese originals.
