According to Wizards of the Coast's Duel Masters brand manager Aaron Alberg, another 52 episodes of the Duel Masters anime beyond the 26 already being shown in the U.S. are in production.  This will bring the total number of episodes available to 78, which will make the series more marketable as a daily strip and increase the odds of additional U.S. television exposure.   A second run of 26 episodes has begun running in Japan, but the third run of 26 episodes will actually be shown here before those appear in the States.
