In Japan Gladiator's Assault was the 6th booster in YuGiOh! Series 5. It was released on July 21st 2007 and contained 80 cards. The English-Language TCG release came 4 months later on November 14th 2007, and like its predecessor, Tactical Evolution, contained cards that were exclusive to the TCG. In this case there were 15 of them, bringing the total number of cards to 95. The English-Language Gladiator's Assault was the first booster in GX Series 3 and the 25th booster overall.

Of course, Gladiator's Assault was most famous for bringing the Gladiator Beasts to the game, but noteably provided further support for Six Samurai, Elemental Hero and Gemini deck-types. It also brought more of Jaden's cards from the anime to real life. Gladiator's Assault was followed up by Phantom Darkness.
