Spatial (スペーシュル Supeeshuru; displayed as
The Spatials' indicator is called a Dimensional Number and it's different from other the indicators (Level, Rank, Wavelength, Hierarchy, etc.) because it's formatted differently outside of the Japanese OCG: #th Dimension or 1st/2nd/3rd Dimension in the case of Dimensional Numbers 1-3 (次元第#). Dimensional Numbers are centered on the card in the form of pink spirals inside light blue orbs: . Dimensional Negative Numbers also exist, and they look like light blue spirals inside red orbs:
All Spatial Monsters are indestructible once, but higher Dimensional Numbers can avoid more destructions: one more time for every Tribute that is normally required to Tribute Summon a monster with the same Level as a Spatial Monster's Dimensional Number.
Pendulum Spatial Monsters
Pendulum Spatial Monsters do not have the trait that prevents them from being destroyed because they are sent back to the Extra Deck face-up instead of going to the Graveyard. Most Pendulum Spatial Monsters have this effect: If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can destroy as many cards in your Pendulum Zones as possible (min. 1), and if you do, place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
Examples
- Starry-Eyes Spatial Dragon: 7th Dimension

Rulings
- If a Spatial Summon is negated, the Spatial Monster that was going to be Summoned is still banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard.
- If a Spatial Monster becomes an Xyz Material and it is detached, it is banished instead of going to the Graveyard.
- If banishing becomes impossible by a means such as Imperial Iron Wall, then the Spatial Summon also becomes impossible.
Trivia
- The pink color of the Spatial monsters is brighter than the pink on a Trap Card.
- Spatial sounds similar to Special, and was therefore chosen for the new card type name.
