The Shadow Riders, known as the Seven Stars Assassins (セブンスターズ刺客, Sebunsutāzu Shikaku?) in the original Japanese language version, are a fictional group of villains in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime series, appearing between episodes 29-49.
Composed of seven duelists and their leader of varying origins and backgrounds who each have their own agendas, the Shadow Riders serve as the main antagonists of the series' first season, intent on resurrecting the Sacred Beasts.
However, one of them returns in the fourth and final season as the true mastermind behind the mysterious attacks that take place in Duel Academy and Domino City.

Broke shadow into all its parts,

Found exigence in fits and starts....”
