Yu-Gi-Oh! VS. GX (遊☆戯☆ VS. GX) was a proposed film, including characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. However the idea was scrapped.
The students of Duel Academy went on a field trip to Domino City. Among them was a tarot card reader, Sartorius, who wished to defeat Yugi Muto and the other legendary duelists. Strange circumstances led Jaden Yuki to meet Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler. Sartorius contacted KaibaCorp to plot his scheme.
Making this film was to fill Kazuki Takahashi's unmet expectations from seeing Mazinger Z VS Devilman in his childhood. He came up with the idea about a year after Yu-Gi-Oh! GX had begun broadcasting.
Takahashi contemplated reviving Atem, but didn't want to betray the theme of the original story.
After the idea was dropped, Takahashi commented that it was fun to see Yugi and the others in his head after such a long time and that Yugi facing Jaden couldn't happen as it would be a hero facing his comrade - though it ends up happening in the last two episodes on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
Takahashi mentioned the rejected film in an afterword in volume 8 of the bunkoban.
Ideas from the film were apparently used in season 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
