Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds | comment |
Due to its nature as a Distant Sequel to both Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, all spoilers for both series will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is the third series under the mass-marketed, card game-oriented Yu-Gi-Oh! banner that features a dystopian setting wherein the ubiquitous card game has become a way of life in the hierarchical society of Neo Domino City. With advances in technology, dueling has evolved into a popular spectator sport known as "Turbo Duels". Such duels are conducted astride specially-equipped motorbikes known as "Duel Runners". However, traditional-style standing duels are still conducted just as often.The show presents a juxtaposition between the technologically-advanced Neo Domino City and "Satellite" - the common name for the now-derelict location of the original series. Satellite is where all of Neo Domino's trash goes - both literal and human. Two years before the start of the series, protagonist and Satellite resident Yusei Fudo constructed his own white Duel Runner. In a flashback, Yusei lost a duel to his friend Jack Atlas, who took Yusei's Duel Runner and ace monster (Stardust Dragon) and escaped to Neo Domino City. Jack has subsequently been established as the "Master of Faster", with the help of his own ace monster (Red Dragon Archfiend) as well as the backing of the mysterious Rex Goodwin. After building a new red Duel Runner, Yusei makes his way to Neo Domino to duel Jack and retrieve his ace monster. Meanwhile, other events bring Yusei to the enduring attention of Neo Domino Security officer, Tetsuo Trudge. As the series goes on, there turns out to be much more at stake than realized, all tying to Yusei's past and how the city became the way it is.Depending on who you ask, there are either three to five seasons (Episodes 1-26, which include the Prison Arc and the Fortune Cup, as the first season; episodes 27-64, or the Dark Signer Arc, as the second; episodes 65 to 103 as season three, 104 to 137 as the fourth, and 138 to 154 counting as a fifth) or two seasons (consolidating the entire 1-64 stretch as the first Story Arc and 65 and beyond as a second.) There is merit to all definitions, but the most common on this page is the three/five-season model.See the Analysis page for most of the terminology of the series.The series also has an AU manga and several video games.Colloquial address in the fan community tends to differentiate the four NAS series of the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise along this dimension: 5Ds, GX, Zexal and DM (or Duel Monsters, in reference to the second anime adaptation of the original manga).Yusei appears in Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bonds Beyond Time that teams him up with Yugi and Judai.Watch the series on Hulu. Contains the dub episodes and about half of the Japanese series subtitled.The series is also available on Crunchyroll with all 154 episodes in Subtitles with the original Japanese OPs, EDs, Soundtrack.Has a Drinking Game. | |

Canon Foreigner: There's this guy, who, while he's referred to as Joey Wheeler's cousin Jesse in the dub, is just some random person in the original sub. He was merely dubbed such in the dub because he looks like Joey, even to the point where he shares the same voice actor. | |

The Artifact | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The very concept of Signers almost completely ceases to be important in the second half, with their primary nemeses dead and their new opponent having nothing to do with the Signers. They only use their powers every ten episodes or so (if that), and two of their members were Demoted to Extra, making it less a series about five people bonded by their mystic Incan destiny and battling the supernatural, and more a series about three dudes who fight robots (guest-starring their three friends). | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_143939c1 | comment |
Video Games Always Spoil: In the English release, WC 2010 spoils the conclusion of the Dark Signer arc Minus Crow getting the tail birthmark and Aki learning how to ride a D-Wheel. It also (for both the Japanese and Americans) shows the heart birthmark almost a full year before the anime. Tag Force 5 manages to spoil a lot of things in season three for English players as well. Tag Force 6 will reveal to dub watchers Zone's identity or at least who he appears to be. It'll be the only way they learn due to the anime ending prematurely just before the Ark Cradle appears. That is, assuming dub watchers can even get their hands on and play Tag Force 6 (see No Export For You above). | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Any of the racing segments in the WC games. Your Deck will not help you progress if you can't outrun Trudge. When dueling in Crash Town, instead of the usual rock-paper-scissors routine, the player to decide who goes first is determined by a Quick Time Event. This is an adaptation of Crash Town's quick-draw rule in the anime, where the player to first deploy their Duel Disk gets the first turn. The Ghost attack in WC 2011 applies this to the racing segments. Speed and handling of the bike suddenly becomes less relevant in favour of durability to withstand the Ally Salvos. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Geez, what happened to lighthearted Kuriboh's and tournaments? No! You have frightening Earthbound Gods, Criminal Marks getting lasered onto your face painfully, the Dark Signers, dead people who came back to life because of hatred in their hearts, Dark Signers, and severed arms. At the beginning of the series, everyone in the main cast is either an orphan or is estranged from their parents (This situation gets better by the end of the series, though.) The main character formerly lived in a friggin' slum, for Pete's sake! Bloodier and Gorier: And if being dark and gritty isn't enough, how about the King of the Underworld or the Machine Emperors killing off humans? This trope even shows Jack getting his face bleed during his duel against Dark Signer Carly for crying out loud! | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Aki's duel with Yusei in episode 23 involves her manhandling the latter using Rose Tentacles, all while sporting a disturbing Slasher Smile along with the visible breathing and panting, visibly getting turned on at the pain she inflicts on others might be seen as a metaphor for BDSM. Jack's Scar-Red Nova Dragon (a card derived from a Peruvian Devil) battling against Thor (a Nordic God). The M.C. even lampshades this. Unintentional given the target audience but episode 145 brings us Bruno/Antinomy pushing Yusei out of the black 'hole' by ramming the long front thin tip of his D-Wheel behind Yusei. | |

Early Game Hell | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Because you start with a crappy Starter Deck and need to make meaningful progress to access the actual good cards, the early game can be really challenging. In fact, it's not unheard of a Stardust Accelerator player to be stuck with their initial three Synchro monsters for most of the game, since additional Synchros only become accessible in the late or postgame. Reverse of Arcadia and Over the Nexus remedy this by making other Synchro monsters and Structure Decks available in the early chapters. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_15756c9d | comment |
Where It All Began: In the last major duel of the series, Yusei and Jack start their duel at the exact same spot Jack stole Yusei's bike and Stardust Dragon, which set the whole plot of 5Ds into motion some three years prior. It's fitting as both a sort of Book Ends to the series, and a nice contrast to see how far both Yusei and Jack have come as people, friends, and as Duelists. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_17501df2 | comment |
Cool Old Guy: Jose has been laying low for most of the W.R.G.P. arc, but the fourth OP seems to indicate that he is, in fact, the most powerful member of the Infinity Trio. This trope is proven in episode 110. When Sherry tries to crush him with her D-Wheel, Jose easily catches it with one hand. The old guy then punches another one with enough force to send it flying and make it explode; and just in case anybody still doubted him, episode 132 saw Jose building upon Lucciano and Placido's strategies to quickly defeat and absorb Jack's Scar-Red Nova Dragon, one of the most powerful Synchro Monsters around, and take out Crow without too much trouble either. Z-ONE is a wrinkled old man whose Temporal God cards are incredibly hax. | |

All There in the Manual: The official website revealed that the waitress who has a crush on Jack is named Stephanie before the show did. One of the DVD sets reveals the names of some of the other characters' Duel Runners, such as Delta Eagle (Dark Glass/Bruno), Bloody Kiss (Akiza), and Terrible Omens aka T-666 (Placido). Additionally, the tenth anniversary book of the entire franchise says that Divine survived after being eaten alive by Ccarayhua and is now in jail. ZONE's time is 200 years in the future... according to director Katsumi Ono's Twitter. His Twitter account reveals other interesting tidbits, such as the fact that the canon names of Z-one and the other last survivors of mankind are actually just code names and to go along with that Bruno/Dark Glass/Antinomy's birth name is.... Johnny. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: A little bit different from the norm, as the intial focus is repairing old, broken friendships. Played pretty straight with Himuro, though tweaked a bit with Aki in that it took two defeats and a bunch of Yusei's battle therapy to bring her around. Team Unicorn is an extreme example, as well as Team Ragnarok. Aporia takes it even higher after his loss to Rua, Jack and Ruka, where he screams at ZONE about how 5Ds and Yusei are his hope. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The preview for episode 151 shows Yusei removing Stardust Dragon/Buster from his graveyard. That card previously only appeared in the non-canon OVA. When 151 aired, the card was nowhere to be seen. Dub only, their preview for 123 makes the episode appear action packed, when in fact its a exposition episode to explain the backstories of Team Ragnarok. | |

Say My Name | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_1a3a91dd | comment |
Say My Name The most heartbreaking use of this trope in 5Ds might be when Yusei starts screaming Bruno's name after he dies saving Yusei. It doesn't help that Bruno used his last breath to do the same to Yusei, the last he hears is Yusei calling the name he's always known him by rather than the name he demand to be known as for the last two episodes, all with the most heartwrenching music happening during it all. It's the most powerful example, but by far the only; Aki did the same to Divine when Arcadia began to collapse, Rua to Ruka while he duelled Demak (and visa versa in 142), Yusei to Kiryu (twice in one episode) during their second duel and Jack to Carly as she sacrificed herself to save him. And against in 151 when ZONE sacrifices himself to do what Yusei was planning to stop the Arc Cradle. There are also several occasions with lower volumes. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Jack and Yusei; good buddies, and only that. Also, Crow and Yusei. And Kiryu and Yusei. Actually, every single male character and Yusei. Special mention must go to the lampshading in episode 80, when Rua comments on the way Yusei and Bruno have taken to each other. Translations vary ("lovebirds," "married couple," etc.), but all agree that Ruka's response is to spazz on him and tell him the term he used should only be used for a man and woman. Clearly, they are just friends at first sight. | |

Turns out him, Placido, Luciano, Jose (actually all deriving from a single person, Aporia) and Paradox are all robots from the future created by Z-ONE after their human forms passed away. | |

This may be an attempt to skirt Godwin's Law given Roman's blond hair, blue eyes and decidedly German name, or simply to provide an interesting visual contrast with his younger brother and obscure his familial relationship until he reveals it himself in episode 46. | |

Satellite Family Member: Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski has a mother and father who are only involved during her initial character arc. Her father, Hideo, is established in her backstory as a senator who is constantly busy with his work and never has time for her, and the one time they do spend time together, she awakens her Psychic Powers that turn her cards real, injuring him in the process. Fearing these powers and not knowing what to do, Hideo and his wife Setsuko send Aki away to Duel Academy. It's a sticking point with Aki and it isn't until much later during the Dark Signer arc that they resolve their issues with each other. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: A lot of plot lines got abandoned in between Seasons 1 and 2, mostly due to the Executive Meddling as a result of the real life Roma Sophie Cult incident. Others simply went nowhere, and some were due to decisions made when dubbing. In the initial half of Season 1, Leo received a bit of foreshadowing hinting at him becoming the Fifth Signer, specifically when it was brought up that the fifth Signer Dragon in Luna's dreams looked a lot like his Power Tool Dragon. This would be ignored for quite some time once Crow became the Fifth Signer and he got Black-Winged Dragon in Season 2, with the identity of the fifth dragon not being revealed until the series was concluding, where it was revealed that the dragon was Power Tool's true form, Life Stream Dragon, and that Leo was not the Fifth Signer, but the unheard of Sixth Signer Towards the end of Season 1, Carly gives Jack a Dying Declaration of Love once he defeats her as a Dark Signer. After she is revived with the other Dark Signers, she is afflicted with Laser-Guided Amnesia and can't remember making said declaration, whereas Jack still remembers. This goes nowhere come Season 2, where Carly is Demoted to Extra and becomes one of Jack's fangirls alongside Mina and Stephanie, and Jack shows no knowledge of the declaration. A major subplot in Season 1 involved Akiza's psychic powers and the Arcadia Movement, a group of psychic duelists bordering on a cult run by the manipulative Divine, who is later revealed to have killed several people while trying to bring out their abilities, including Misty's younger brother. Akiza's psychic powers are largely ignored outside of physically manifesting monsters, and abruptly disappear mid-season in time to bench her against Team Catastrophe, and only return near the series conclusion with little explanation. The Arcadia Movement itself is never brought up again, despite Divine apparently surviving being eaten by Ccarayhua and currently sitting in jail. Sly vowed to get his hands on Stardust Dragon after Yusei and Heitmann's Duel. This never gets brought up again for the rest of the series afterwards. Two early Season 2 episodes have Akiza get her riding duel license and her own D-Wheel, while Rua and Ruka debuted the "Duel Board" which allowed them to Riding Duel as well. After the initial episodes showing these developments, Aki got to Riding Duel once in the WRGP, and was defeated in one episode. Leo and Luna didn't get to Turbo Duel again ever. Thanks to the dub ending during the duel against Aporia, the outcome of the duel, the Ark Cradle, Z-one and Bruno's true identities, and the mysterious sixth Signer Dragon are never explored. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: Neo Domino Citizens display shades of this. They don't bat an eye at Yusei's Accel Synchro techniques for one. When the city is on the verge of destruction, they get distracted by Yusei's duel with Big Bad Z-ONE even though their lives are in danger. It's not until the MC starts commentating the match (endangering his life in the process) that everyone else continues evacuating the city. This seems to be a Zig-Zagging Trope at times, almost to the point of Depending on the Writer. When Jack uses Red Nova Dragon for the first time in the W.R.G.P. against Team Ragnarok, everybody is wooed by it. The MC even comments on the symbolism of Red Nova Dragon (a card partially derived from a Peruvian Devil) going up against Thor (a Nordic God). In addition, when Aporia appears in his true form for the first time, the W.R.G.P. spectators are quick to evacuate the stadium. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Lots. The two main characters (Yusei and Jack) having ace monsters with 2500 ATK and 3000 ATK respectively (mirroring Yugi and Kaiba aces). Yusei's name containing a "Yu" to go along with Yugi of the original series and Judai Yuki of GX. Aki sharing a name that starts with the letter A like the other main female characters, Anzu and Asuka. Jack wearing a jacket with huge coatails like Kaiba's post Duelist Kingdom wear. A duelist that appears in episode 14 looks suspiciously like Jounouchi Katsuya/Joey Wheeler of the original series. Lampshaded in the dub, where the duelist is Jonouchi's cousin and has the same voice. A random screen in the first episode list duelists that Jack defeated during his reign as King, and their names are all parodies of characters' names from the original series. Jack's seiyuu voiced Honest in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Jack's "Savior Demon Dragon" card has an effect similar to Honest's card form. Like Yugi, Yusei has an alternative self but it's inverted. His alternative self is from the distant future and is the Big Bad. Until said Big Bad turns out not to be Yusei, but you know.... Yusei calling out Z-ONE for not caring about his friends, and Z-ONE reminding him that Aporia and Antinomy (as well as Paradox) were only Androids with their memories, but not the real ones, who had already died is very similar to Yami Bakura and Yami Yugi's discussion during the Memory Arc, where Yami Bakura reminds him that the characters in the game aren't the real people (who had, obviously, died several centuries prior to the begining of the series, only given form due to Yami's memories. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Yusei's the worst in this trope. To date, his core outfit (the black shirt with jeans) has not changed at all, and the only variations have been his Team Satisfaction vest, jacket, and poncho. Jack however, subverts this and probably has more outfits than the rest of the main cast combined by now. Crow also subverts in S3 by actually having clothing changes that make some moderate amount of sense (a work jacket, riding gloves, and helmet while he's delivering things; pajamas in the middle of the night, unlike the entire rest of the cast; a riding suit for the WRGP), although many of these are just accessory changes (e.g. swapping out his vest for a jacket while at work). Yusei finally gets a brand new outfit in his riding suit for the WRGP...and it's based off of his normal outfit. Yusei does get a new outfit, as do Aki, Crow, probably the twins after the Time Skip in the last 3 episodes. Although it looks like Jack doesn't. | |

More Dakka: Shooting Star Dragon has an effect that falls along these lines, as Yusei proves when he uses said effect against Placido. By checking the top 5 cards of his deck, Shooting Star gets a number of attacks equal to the number of Tuners among them. The number of Tuners he reveals? FIVE. DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADEAD. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Several Duel Runners, namely Yusei, Crow, and Jack's. Yusei's throttle is a hand accelerator instead of a hand brake. Further, while Crow's bike can do awesome things like flying and auto-correcting, the wings are actually too short to keep him airborne as depicted in the show (It was also pointed out that Rex's D-Wheel had the same flaw when he tried to launch of the Daedalus Bridge). Meanwhile, although mono-wheels do actually exist, Jack's D-wheel does not appear to have a moving wheel that actually touches the ground - the entire thing is covered in the outer casing. Dark Glass's Duel Runner is probably the worst in this regard. It's basically a thin talon with a large rear wheel with two smaller ones just below the seat, which aren't shown touching the road at all. Short of defying gravity, how on earth does that thing stay balanced?! The gun duel disks in the Crashtown arc qualify, since they don't actually shoot bullets. The Majestic Dragons also count, because they can only be summoned if the Duelist who needs one has the power of the whole Crimson Dragon to summon the Majestic Dragon Tuner card. Not to mention they're useless in comparison to the new 'Clear Mind' and 'Burning Soul' Synchro Summons Yusei and Jack have obtained. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_2cb9b1a9 | comment |
Cool, but Inefficient: Holographic phones look awesome, but let's get real: they'd make having private phone conversations absolutely impossible. An in-show example comes from the Crow-vs-Jaeger duel in 43/44: although Jaeger makes no secret of the fact that he's cheating by looking up information on Crow's deck during the duel, Crow gets a heads-up on what Jaeger thinks he will do because the holographic computer Jaeger is using has a screen that's also readable from the other side. Whoops. The guns that turn into Duel Disks that Yusei and Kiryu use when they go to Crashtown. Looks awesome, but the system to determine who gets the first turn (the person who draws and puts on their disk first goes first) would be almost impossible to actually utilize, and in their "gun" form, the disks don't actually perform any of the tasks of a real gun. | |

Gratuitous English | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Most of the characters in the show have English/Western names, in spite of the show taking place in Japan. The main characters' "ace monsters" all have names in English, as do many others. When Yusei is in a Riding Duel and his opponent summons, the information from that opponent's card is shown inside his visor - in English. Several, though not all, information holoscreens are in English - Yusei's prison record and the duelist information screen Ghost pulls up on him are two examples. The majority of monster attacks are called in English. In keeping with the English swearing in DM, Crow lets loose a rather impassioned "OH MY GOD" in Episode 44. The Japanese for "card" is never used, in spite of 5Ds being about a card game; instead, the characters use the Japanese pronounciation "kaado" from the English "card." Although the English "game" is usually used, there's an interesting subverted example in that the actual Japanese "yugi" has been used once or twice (not in reference to the first King of Games). Most signs and advertisements in the show are in English, even if they're total nonsense (apparently somewhere in NDC is a business called "SHEEP"). The few legible records for the Arcadia movement are in English. The name of the research group that built Momentum, "MIDS," is both in English and has an English acronym. | |

Evolving Credits: After the group goes off to confront the Dark Signers, the intro sequence adds scenes of Jack and Aki facing off against their opponents, as well as reanimating Rua and Ruka simultaneously summoning their dragons, and replacing Yusei's Turret Warrior attacking one of Kiryu's monsters with another of his monsters attacking Rudger's Earthbound God. In the third arc, after their respective introductions, Sherry and Dark Glass/Antinomy/Bruno are shown without their helmets in the opening. Also, after Wisel and Skiel were used, they were shown in full-colour as opposed to being silhouettes. Grannel joined them in ep 110 (sadly spoiling its big reveal at the end of the episode). | |

Kick the Dog | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Seriously, Jack. You could have just asked Yusei for Stardust Dragon. He would've certainly given it to you! Godwin refuses to evacuate Satellite, despite the whole prophetic vision that shows it blowing to bits, so that Yusei is forced to defeat the Dark Signers, if only to save everyone in town. Remember, this is our Mentor character. To be fair: he also does it to protect the people of Neo Domino from also being killed. It's still hardly idealistic, but rather a choice of the lesser evil. Oh yeah, and it's also part of his secret season-long Evil Plan to eliminate the other Dark Signers and consolidate the powers of the Earthbound Gods and Crimson Dragon for himself so he can become a god. Hoo boy, between 36/37, Divine manages to lock up Himuro and Yanagi, beat up a ten year old kid, put him in a coma, then send an Intrepid Reporter falling to her death by propelling her out a window. Then he convinces Aki that it's all good. Then there are the experiments he performed on individuals with psychic potential. He does get what's coming to him, though. Twice. Rudger does Rex the dubious favour of failing to fill his younger brother in on any of the Signer vs. Dark Signer stuff until Rudger has forcibly taken over the Momentum project and presented Rex with his severed left arm and an edict to gather the Signers to come back and kill Rudger. This act is the basis for a lot of Rex's issues throughout the story. Even the fourth wall isn't immune to a dog-kick: The ending credits (5th version) do this to Aki. Sure, she may not have been as prominent in the team as the others, but did they have to be so blunt as to slap "Benchwarmer" on her!? | |

Official Couple: Jack and Carly's relationship gets sufficiently fleshed out to be considered canon - especially during Jack's duel with D-Carly Unfortunately after she's been revived, she has no memories of her time as a Dark Signer, and thus does not remember Jack's "confession." Worse, the writers pretend their relationship never happened after the Dark Signer Arc and relegated Carly to comic relief, much to the annoyance of the Scoopshippers. Also Yusei and Aki in the series finale, where she aborted her Love Confession, Yusei was able to see through her attempts and silently accepts her confession. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_361a1d26 | comment |
Anguished Declaration of Love: While privately visiting Yusei, Akiza veers out of confessing her love for him at the very last instant in the final episode. In the original, Jack yells out to Carly that he "wants to save the woman he loves", which is the closest she's going to get to a love confession from him. | |

Lethal Joke Character: Yanagi's cards involve monsters with no ATK points and harmful effects, but with a few support cards they can turn their self-damaging effects onto the opponent, as Yusei demonstrates in his first duel in prison. | |

Sequential Boss: The four clones of yourself in 2009. Four back to back duels and your Life Points carry over. Carried over in similar fashion for 2010 but thankfully they are optional. The entire final chapter of 2011 is built on this, based on the WRGP in the anime. Both you and your opponent's fields now carry over to the next Duel, making it easy to snowball to victory if you establish board dominance. | |

Ascended Meme: 4Kids put up a poll on Facebook to give the show a new slogan. Guess what they chose? Card games on Motorcycles? Yusei had been dubbed Crabhead by the fans ever since his character design was revealed. It finally came full circle in Tag Force 5 in which a certain shop owner asks the player how he feels about crustaceans. The Tag Force 5 shop owner is full of Shout Outs to the fans. Highlighting a character's pack reveals the WMG and other things about them. Many fans dubbed certain duels seen in episode 26 and 62~64 as rainbow road duels. Cue episode 138 in which the main cast rides up a literal rainbow road into the Ark Cradle. There was also a number who guessed the next series would move into space as a joke. Yusei and Bruno duel in the Ark Cradle on a course set around a star in another 'rainbow road' duel. Goes one step further when Yusei literally passes through the atmosphere during his duel with ZONE and into space. | |

False Start: Ushio is smitten with his lovely co-worker Mikage, but the moment he chose to make his feelings known to her unfortunately turned out to be the moment when she was having a rather intense conversation with Jack Atlas, which made it clear that she was in love with him. But in season three they are seen working together now as a pair. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: This gets deconstructed with the first half of Team Taiyou's strategy, which is to rely on a Stone Wall by using Holding Hands Majinn's high defense to stall, and using Speed World 2 to inflict effect damage to the opponent. This strategy worked in every match before Team 5D's, but when they face off in the quarter-finals, the audience starts booing them because the boring part outweighs the practical part. They only start to gain support from the crowd when the second half of their strategy gets revealed, which is to summon the Awesome, yet Impractical Zushin the Sleeping Giant. | |

Character Development | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Among the main cast, Jack and Aki are the most prominent, the former eventually seeing the error of his ways and going from a haughty jerk to a haughty Jerk with a Heart of Gold, while the latter managed to make peace with her two major sources of angst and mellowed out, though there is some debate over how well that was handled. Special mention goes to Ushio. When he first appeared in the original manga he was a loser who was sure to get nowhere in life, and started out in 5Ds as a one-note, one-shot baddie. But after hanging around with the good guys and seeing life from the other side, he did a Heel–Face Turn, pledged to protect the reunited cities of Satellite and Neo Domino, and is now a permanent member of the supporting cast. The trope reaches it's natural conclusion when Ushio and Yusei end up having a very friendly heart to heart talk about what Yusei will do at the end of the series, a very stark contrast to the first episode where Ushio calls him trash and seeks to bring him down for riding a D-Wheel. And Rua. He starts off an naive kid who admires Jack and cried whenever he lost a duel. Across the second season, he deluded himself with a want to be the final Signer, only for that to get smashed by Divine. He begins to grow up and realises the seriousness of the situation, going with the Signers although it pains him that he can't do anything to help his sister, then throws himself into a duel against Demak so she won't have to fight (despite numerous claims from Demak that a non-Signer can't win). Partway into the third season, he gets a chance to prove himself again, using himself as a shield to protect Ruka and almost dying. Then comes 142 when he literally sacrifices himself to get Ancient Fairy on Ruka's field and dies. All that leads to getting a new Birthmark and being revived. He even mourns the death of the guy who killed him. Did I mention he used to cry when he'd lose a duel? | |

Plot-Based Face Obfuscation: Occurs when Crow tells the legend of the Daedalus Bridge, and during a flashback to Rex's past. Also near the end of season two. Who IS that guy Jaeger keeps talking to, anyway? In the third-season opening, there are three monsters shown in silhouette. Two of those monsters have been used to date in the show, and after each is used, it becomes full-colour. The third one is still shadowed out when the OPs change halfway into the season. About six episode or so later, it's revealed in full color. In another slight subversion, Sherry's helmet is on for the first seven or so episodes, until it's "removed" for Episode 72 onward. | |

Aki's particular brand of suck, psychic materialization, actually comes in handy when she, Yusei and Sherry are in danger of being crushed by a falling truck, again when she's about to be run over by a marauding steamroller-cum-D-Wheel (What else is there to do but dragon-smash it?) and again when she saves herself, Crow, and Sherry from falling debris in the Ark Cradle. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: The Saviour Dragons (Yusei's Savior Star Dragon and Jack's Savior Demons' Dragon.) Mainly because they require a specific Tuner monster (Salvation Dragon - Savior Dragon) which the Crimson Dragon can add on top of a Signer's deck at its discretion. In other words, Yusei and Jack are using a card that they don't even have in their decks. It doesn't help that both monsters are very powerful... although the real life card game attempted to balance this out a bit by banishing them from the field at the end of every turn. The end of Yusei's first duel with Kiryu. He is constantly outplayed and is about to lose with no hope of turning the duel around, but his D-Wheel gives out and thus the duel ends with his soul spared. Of course, if he died, the show would be overnote and Kiryu considered making him suffer a greater priority than killing him., but it's still ridiculous that he could escape a Shadow Duel that way. | |

Broken Aesop | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The Team Unicorn duel, according to numerous disgruntled fans. The Aesop the writers were going for was probably something along the lines of "It's better to lose and have fun than win and be a stick-in-the-mud," but it came across as broken because a) Team Unicorn was in a major tournament, so you'd imagine winning would probably be a pretty high priority for them, b) the tournament was double-elimination, not single, so Team 5D's could still progress to the finals by beating two more preliminary opponents, and c) the Aesop itself was handled more like "You Can't Fight Plot Armor" than anything else. The moral of the Team Taiyou Duel is that even though you might start with nothing, if you think smart, fight together, and work hard to achieve the impossible, you will... still lose to people with better cards than you. But at least you'll be well-remembered. Also from Team Unicorn, the team is constantly praised for their amazing teamwork, yet it is revealed that in every team match before facing Team 5D's, Andre was able to defeat all three enemies before having to shift to Breo or Jean, meaning teamwork has never been a factor for them before their match with Team 5D's, as Andre was able to beat all three opponents by himself. Even in the match against them, Andre manages to defeat Jack and Aki, while also cutting Yusei's life points in half, meaning even then he still did the majority of the work compared to his teammates. | |

First-Name Basis: During their second duel, Yusei calls Aki by her given name to grab her attention. Which makes sense, as in Japan, you only ever refer to someone by their first name only(That is, without the suffixes such as -san, -chan, -kun, etc.) if you're an incredibly close personal friend or a lover. Doing so otherwise is usually considered disrespectful. | |

Zerg Rush: The The Ghosts/Diablos, unleashed by Placido to force the completion of the Grand Design, use the rather mediocre Ally of Justice archetype. Normally, they'd be trivial to defeat, but they work by outnumbering their human opponents while forcing their Duel Runners into Battle Royale mode. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_42cfbfc6 | comment |
2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Frequently, when a D-Wheel is used, it and its rider are CGI. This is really, really jarring, especially after you've just seen the low anime framerate cause the drawn D-Wheel to jerk onto the track in a rapid series of 1-metre hops. Jack's and Yusei's dragons are also frequently shown in CGI. Though as the series has gone on, this has gotten progressively less jarring. | |

Honor Before Reason: After employing a strategy of Deck Destruction to reduce the size of Yusei's deck to 0, the last member of Team Unicorn loses because he allows Yusei to convince him that winning on such a technicality is dishonorable and attacks Yusei's monster, allowing Yusei to activate his Stronghold Guardian and increase his monster's defense points, reducing his opponent's life point's to 0. For those unfamiliar with the rules, all the opponent would have had to do was end his turn and Yusei would have lost due to the fact that he couldn't draw a card during his Draw Phase. | |

Minion Manipulated into Villainy: In the "Dark Signers" arc, Bommer blamed the destruction of his village on Rex Goodwin, due to a Momentum accident that he covered up. His drive for revenge was taken advantage of by the Dark Signers who recruited him. During Boomer's duel with Crow, upon summoning his Earthbound Immortal, he discovered that the souls of everyone from his village was inside it, making him realize that his village's destruction wasn't caused by the Momentum accident, but by the Earthbound Immortals, meaning that everything that had lead to him becoming a Dark Signer was manipulated by the beings he now served. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the earlier episodes, Junk Synchron didn't seem to have it's effect to special summon level 2 or lower monsters from the graveyard, Yusei usually using other card effects to revive them immediately after summoning Junk Synchron. During Aki's first few duels, Black Rose Dragon's effect to reduce a monster's attack points to 0 was used on monsters in Attack Position that were stronger than Black Rose Dragon. Later, the effect was changed so that the target monster had to be in Defense Position for it's attack points to be reduced, where it would then be forcibly switched to Attack Position. | |

Latex Space Suit: While not a spacesuit, Jack's riding outfit is unnecessarily form-fitting. While also not a spacesuit, Aki's riding suit is also very form-fitting, which is lampshaded when she comments on how strange the whole thing feels. Also a likely case of Hellbent For Leather as the suit shows off the characteric polished leather gleam in some shots. Placido seems to wear a pretty tight coverall as well. Not sure if it really is a spacesuit. | |

Invincible Hero | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: Subverted in that the Signers didn't get a fair victory against the Dark Signers until Yusei managed to defeat Kiryu. Then again, Yusei is The Ace and had the full power of the Crimson Dragon behind him. Crow (not a Signer) and the Wonder Twins (both dueling at the same time) managed to pull out victories before this, but not on anyone important to the plot. Worth noting that the first one to fall, Demak, is defeated about 25 episodes (the first season was 26 episodes long) after the Dark Signer arc actually began. Crow has lost three duels onscreen, but in two cases he has chosen to lose, and it was a gigantic plot point that's lampshaded when the peanut gallery for the duel pretty much has a collective heart attack because WTF CROW LOST. It is now finally averted in that Crow lost fairly to Team Taiyou, completely and utterly without holding back. Though that's because he plays Black Feathers/Blackwings. Played straight in season three, Yusei has taken apart of the majority of the duels and has yet to lose any of them. Most noticeable in Team Unicorn's duel. Jack Atlas never lost a duel in the two or so years he was King, making it an in-universe example. But this is Fridge Brilliance as revealed much later in the series,that Godwin was actually paying off strong duelists who could actually be a threat to him, such as Dragan. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_5313c266 | comment |
Book Ends: The first opening shows Yusei and Jack in a riding duel with Junk Warrior opposing against Red Demon's Dragon. The final duel, final episode of the series is Yusei vs Jack in a riding duel with Junk Warrior defeating Red Demon's Dragon. Not only that Junk Warrior was the monster that gave Yusei victory in his first and last duels of the show (although the opponents were Ushio for the first and Jack in the last). At some point, after Yusei and Jack drive into the tunnel, when the path splits in two paths, the area looks a bit like the area Yusei and Trudge drove through during their first duel. Also, the end of that battle had the current Opening playing in the background. Yusei having a long talk with Trudge also counts, as they previously exchanged ideologies in the first episode. | |

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Upon being reconstructed, Aporia decides to cast off his human emotions, believing them to be the cause of his earlier defeat, and embrace his identity as a machine. He acts much more stoic and monotone during his duel with Jack, Rua, and Ruka, though he still ends up with a Villainous Breakdown when things start to fall apart. | |

Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress: Rather, gravity ceases to apply the moment a character gets on a motorbike. It should not have taken several minutes to fall down a three story elevator shaft. Right, episode 12? They did talk a lot. In Episode 64, there should not have been nearly enough time for the Savior Star Dragon to catch both Crow and Jack before they hit the water. | |

This actually happens to Jack a few times. He first drifted apart from Yusei and then going as far as to put Rally's life in danger so that he could steal Stardust Dragon and Yusei's D-Wheel to become King and forgot about his life in Satellite. Then he turns into a Dark Signer during Carly's Lotus-Eater Machine but quickly snaps out of it. And then there's a variation with a Jack robot in season three. To top it all off, his manga counterpart may or may not qualify depending on how much Yusei and Jack's relationship has changed in the Alternate Universe. | |

Minor Injury Overreaction | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_570f2124 | comment |
Minor Injury Overreaction: In the English version of episode 52, after the second time Crow tries to make heavy bits of surrounding infrastructure fall on and crush Bommer rides out of the murk declaring that Crow has scratched the paint job on Bommer's D-Wheel, and that Crow will "pay". More dub hilarity: In Episode 35, Yusei gets surgery after his D-Wheel turns over and part of it breaks off, lodging in his abdomen. In the dub this scene is not cut, but the metal fragment has been airbrushed out, and we are left with the sight of Martha and Dr. Schmidt in surgical masks while a bare-chested, untouched Yusei grimaces on a surgical table because of "heavy bruising on the left side." Ironically enough the dub inverts this trope in episode 6, see Major Injury Underreaction above. One of the earliest examples, the end of episode 5. After all the Crimson Dragon disappears and Yusei and Jack come up from the wreckage. In the Japanese version, Yusei winces and looks at his arm, which is glowing with the Dragon Tail Birthmark. Silently, he pulls his glove up and his sleeve down to reveal that yes, it is coming from his arm. In the dub however, he's screaming his head off in pain from the burning on his arm. Completely opposite from the Major Injury Underreaction example in the following episode previously mentioned. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: Three of The Team fit this: Jack commands Red Dragon Archfiend (Red Demon's Dragon), and later powers that up by bringing an Earthbound Immortal to heel to create (Scar-) Red Nova Dragon. Crow plays a deck of Dark-attribute Clever Crows and a Toothy Bird Dark dragon. Aki is a reformed Dark Magical Girl who commands Black Rose Dragon, whose effect wrecks the field when used. All three dragons and their users are heroic. The Crimson Dragon could count too. A red and black spirit creature with skeletal wings, with similar origins to the Earthbound Immortals. It's the Big Good of the series. | |

Fragile Speedster: The Junk frame — a D-Wheel body available in WC 2010 and 2011 — is available very early on, offering excellent handling and is fully customizable (whereas other fully customizable frames become available only in the final few chapters), but has terrible endurance.

Pragmatic Adaptation: WC 2009 and WC 2010 are simplified versions of the first two seasons of 5Ds, though the Dark Signer arc had a lot of twists and turns and the game still manages to include most of them. WC 2011 is even more pragmatic; most of the third season of 5D's was a bunch of personal growth stories for side characters before Yliaster showed up, so instead they made up their own group of unique characters for the video game's protagonist. | |

As they have now come back to life, and Carly, at least, has reverted to her former personality. After two violent defeats, Aporia has turned against Z-One by dueling him for the sake of Team 5Ds, because they gave him hope for the future for the first time in his life since the future was ruined. | |

Crow first agrees to lead Yusei to Old Momentum, then duels Bommer, then duels Rex, leading some in fandom to jokingly - or maybe not-so-jokingly - call him "the sixth Signer" - a title he earns in canon in Episode 64, when he gains the tail birthmark. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Z-One's computer screen in 149 shows how Yusei's future would have turned out without Yliaster's interference. Among the things it mentioned is a card called Cosmic Blazar Dragon, the Delta Accel Synchro evolution of Stardust Dragon never shown in the actual story. Other stuff mentioned is tournaments he won, and how he was actually the one who invented Accel and Delta Accel Synchro summoning. Much to Z-One's surprise though, when he skips Delta Accel Synchroing with what was suppose to be his ace monster and going even further then his alternate self by doing a Limit Over Accel Synchro to summon Shooting Quasar Dragon. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Rudger and Rex are very close brothers, even though both are "evil" villains as the series progresses. Jaeger might not be evil, but he's certainly not good, unless his family is concerned. He'll work for the villain, break into your home, steal your cup ramen, and cackle like an evil maniac, but he loves his wife and son more then anything. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Forced in episode 46, where Rally, had to either kill Yusei or sacrifice himself. In episode 63, Crow shouts that "It doesn't matter how bad I'm hurt, as long as Yusei goes on!" before throwing himself and his bike headfirst into one of Godwin's monsters during a Shadow Duel, in which monsters are real and players take real damage. The end of episode 59. Carly forces herself to lose the duel, killing herself, and foiling Jack's plan for them to die together. Doesn't Yusei's father saving his son instead of himself count for anything? Rua in episode 142, Summoning Power Tool Dragon and Ancient Fairy Dragon to give Ruka and Jack a fighting chance, knowing Aporia's "Level Cannon" Trap Card will deplete the rest of his LP (and kill him) for doing so. Bruno/Antinomy might be the king of this trope for 5Ds when he chose to give up his life to give Yusei the boost he needed to get out of the Black Hole, and how their whole duel to the death was nothing but an attempt to show him how to overcome anything in his duel with Z-One. | |

Forgot About His Powers | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: End your damn turn, Jean! End your turn! ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Yusei falls victim to the same thing in that episode. The card he used in the last turn, Summon Tax, had been in his hand for some time. If he had set it when he set Cosmic Blast, he was guaranteed a win. If Jean's external piece destroyed it and not Cosmic Blast, Yusei can use Stardust for a Heroic Sacrifice and win. If it's still Cosmic Blast destroyed, he can activate it after summoning Dragoequites, and if Jean summons Voltic Bicorn he loses, so he wouldn't and thus would have to take a lethal direct hit. But no... they had to drag it out as much as possible... Another Yusei example: When he struggles against the Meklord Emperors, he eventually discovers Accel Synchro to counter their ability to steal Synchro monsters. However, he already had 2 ways of countering them, Turbo Warrior (whose ability lets it ignore the effects of monsters who have a lower level; the Meklord Emperors are all level 1 monsters, and Turbo Warrior is a level 6 monster) and Dragon Knight Draco Equiste (who, as a Fusion Monster, was immune to the Meklord Emperors by default), and never uses either of them. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Although Yusei's protective of all his friends, it's the death of eleven-year-old Rally in Episode 46 that makes him snap and start howling for bloody revenge. Slightly subverted in that they're not actually related. Crow counts, too: in Episode 32 he tells Yusei he would die for the kids he takes care of, and in Episode 51, his own big motivation for revenge is that his kids have been eaten by Black Deathfog. Still unrelated by blood, but they call him "Crow-niichan," or "Big brother Crow," so it's close enough for government work. In another odd example, Ruka actually asks for the protection of her twin brother Rua when they go to Satellite. Rua certainly delivers. Rua's distrust of Luciano when he gets close to his sister is the impetus of episode 77. Just prior to Zero Reverse, Rudger orders Rex to safety, making Rex the only adult to survive the epicenter of the event. At the conclusion of the Crashtown arc, Kiryu appears to have adopted a couple of kids after their father falls tragically to his death to save their lives. Same children also refer to him using the honorific used for older brothers. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: There are two big ones, both of which, interestingly, work as foreshadowing: Rex Godwin calls himself the fifth Signer in dub episode 26, then (temporarily) becomes exactly that in episode 62, and Yusei says he has the Head of the Crimson Dragon in dub episode 27. Although at the time he actually has the Tail, he gains the Head in episode 64. The dub bizarrely cuts out the intro scene of episode 26, leaving fans to wonder where Yusei's Junk Warrior went, how his LP got reduced to 1900 and where Jack's 3 facedown cards came from. Crow says in a one-off joke from the English version of episode 44 that Jaeger's monsters remind him of his fifth birthday party. This is impossible, since episode 52 reveals that Crow grew up alone on the streets; orphaned because of Zero Reverse, and had no friends until he was pretty clearly older than five. Oops. Though you could argue it was Crow simply being snarky and not thinking about his insult too much. Speaking of Zero Reverse, WHO caused it, exactly? Dub seems to imply that Dr. Fudo did, but then contradicts itself and says it was Rudger, just like the Japanese version - before skipping back to it being Dr. Fudo again. Because 4kids skipped the episodes after Placido and Yusei's all the way to Team Ragnarok's exposition episode, dub fans are left to wonder how did Jack acquire Scar Red Nova Dragon and where did Sherry disappear off to. At least the Hulu subs did some of the missing episodes, though they still don't have the Ark Cradle. Speaking of which... Skipping over the Ark Cradle, means that fans won't learn of Bruno's identity, history and everything that happens in the real Final Battle. Zone will just remain a mystery as well. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Take your pick. Yusei's name is derived from the Planetary Particle (Yusei Ryushi) his father discovered. Like the Planetary Particle which connected every other particle, Professor Fudo wished his son to a person able to connect people through bonds - and that's exactly what he turned out to be. Rex' full name, "Rex Godwin," means "the king who is the friend of gods." In Episode 62 Rex announces his intention to use the power of both the light and dark gods to become the "ultimate god" and bring an end to the Signer/Dark Signer war. Every. Earthbound. God/Immortal. Is named after a figure in Peruvian myth or history (with the possible but not certain exception of Chacu Challhua). Godwin uses Sun Dragon Inti (Inti being the Incan god of the sun) and Moon Dragon Quilla (Quilla being the Incan goddess of the moon, and Inti's wife). They have a son named Manco Capac (Earthbound God Ccapac Apu). The TCG stretches this further with Apocatequil, the Incan god of Thunder, and Supay, the Incan god of Death. Azcatl (the Japanese name of Ascator) is "ant" in Nahuatl. The ultimate of the Earthbound God is Wiraqocha Rasca, considered the most important Incan deity. And Godwin uses it, keeping in line with his Inca theme. In a case of Shown Their Work, chaku is the Quechua (traditional Andean language) word for "hunting" while challwa is the word for "fish". "Chaku Challwa" is literally "Hunting Fish" or, as a stretch, "Killer Whale". Chacu Challhua is the Earthbound God/Earthbound Immortal for the Killer Whale geoglyph. Izayoi Aki roughly means '(the moon on) the sixteenth night of autumn'. This is the time during which the rites of power for the Sumerian Lady of Roses are carried out, and Aki's theme is roses. Bommer's dub name, "Greiger" or, rather, "Krieger," means "Warrior" in German. Many of the characters with Western names have names startlingly fit to their roles: Martha means "lady of the house," Jaeger is German for "hunter," and Jack is a diminutive of John, which means "God is gracious" - with his mentor's surname meaning "friend of God." The name for "Jack" may stand for the classic playing card also known as a "knave", which is quite a clever choice, considering his title. Jack's name has potentially up to three meanings, actually - it's also a medieval name meaning, simply, "man," with Carly's name meaning "woman." The Emperors of Yliaster - Jose, Placido, and Luciano - are named after The Three Tenors. Is it too much to hope they'll sing? Someone on Janime Forums pointed out that Crow's full name as given in the third season ending, "Crow Hogan," may be a play on words from the important Japanese historical figure Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who had a title that romanizes as "Hogan". According to legend, Yoshitsune was trained in swordmanship by a Tengu, a Japanese crow-demon. Crow's orphans have names in the credits, and his girls' names (Hikari and Kokoro, "light" and "heart" in Japanese) fit the pattern as well - with "my heart" and "light of my life" being English phrases for the thing a person holds most dear, something that certainly holds true with Crow and his kids. Sherry LeBlanc's name means "darling white one" in French. Sherry is French, has pale blonde hair and a white riding suit... and she's certainly caught Yusei's eye, with the poor boy having nightmares about her taunting him for having poor dueling skills. Rua's English dub name (Leo) suddenly makes a lot more sense when he and the lion spirit Regulus simultaneously attack the Ape King in different planes. (Regulus is the brightest star of the constellation Leo the Lion.) Bruno's real name Antinomy, means logical paradox, showing how he has to turn against his friends. | |

The Team 5D's was named because of that reason, even though the team was officially formed with seven members, although they made it clear that the two extra members were just extras, not Signers. However, because Executive Meddling made Crow the new fifth Signer instead of Lua who was originally intended to be, a sixth dragon was added a season later after Crow became a Signer and the dragon was retroactively added in new flashbacks. When Lua became the sixth Signer near the end of the series, a sixth birthmark was added and he got the fifth dragon that has been shown for years. The Dark Signers, on the other hand, were never fixed to be specifically five members. Their birthmarks were based on the Aztec lines, of which more than five exist. Thus, new Dark Signers with different birthmarks were added, and unlike the case of Crow, additional members for the Dark Signers were always intended. In the case of the Signers being originally fixed to five members, the fifth Signer kept changing due to the five birthmarks being originally fixed to five. Of the modern era, Rudger was the original bearer of the "head" birthmark. Before turning into a Dark Signer, he sliced his arm with the birthmark off and gave it to his brother Goodwin to take care of, so someone else can inherit the birthmark. Goodwin, reborn as the seventh Dark Signer, replaced his artificial arm with his brother's arm and simultaneously became the new fifth Signer. Then during the clinax, Goodwin's birthmark of the Crimson Dragon's head was magically transferred to Yusei, and Yusei's "tail" birthmark was transferred to Crow. The Three Emperors of Yliaster are three members because they represent the three ages of Aporia. Specifically, they represent the three points in time where he fell in absolute despair. Each of them wield one of the three Machine Emperors. | |

Please note that this was deifinitely not in the Japanese version, and that although Jack crashed, he was still talking just fine. | |

Calling Your Attacks: This is Yu-Gi-Oh, so practically every monster attack has to be screamed to the heavens (for some monsters it ends up being different every time), and even a fair few EFFECTS have names. New to 5D's, it overlaps with Badass Creed and Catchphrase with just about everyone spouting a short phrase for their Synchro Summoning. See the quote section for the list of chants. | |

Aki's cleavage is erased. (Her skirt is lengthened and her garters are usually erased as well, which in turn give her Grade-A Zettai Ryouiki.) Aside from the editing often being inconsistent between shots, it was poorly done at times (Why does Aki have shading from cleavage when she doesn't even have cleavage?!) This edit becomes especially egregious after Aki dons her cleavage-errific riding suit for the first time in episode 75. Misty's (huge) and Angela's (not quite as huge) cleavage is likewise censored, and scantily-clad Duel Spirits like Ruka's Sunny Pixie are covered up. | |

Idiot Ball | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: A minor example, from Yusei of all people. In his second battle with Andore, the latter has revived Thunder Unicorn during Yuesi's Battle Phase because of an [anime-only] special ability. It would have been Removed From Play at the end of the Battle Phase. So what does Yusei do? Waste his own monster, Max Warrior, in order to defeat Thunder Unicorn instead of simply not attacking and letting it suffer from its own effect. Justified, as Andore's deck generally revovles around removing monsters from play and re-summoning them from the Removed From Play zone. | |

Redemption Demotion: Aporia goes from being able to almost beat three of the best duelist in the series at once to smashed around by ZONE the second he changes sides. This is justified by the fact that his Machine Emperors were specifically designed to be Synchro Killers, so it's only natural he'd fare better against our Synchro-happy protagonists than against ZONE. ZONE even lampshaded this by saying Aporia would be at a huge disadvantage against his deck. | |

Animation Bump: A handful of episodes note (Specifically, episodes 1, 7, 14, 26, 33, 41, 49, 57, 64, 72, 93, 106, 118, 129, 137, 145, and 151) all have extra detail, polish, gleam, and are generally of higher quality than the rest of the series. All of these episodes were produced via an animation director named Kenichi Hara. Compare Majestic Star Dragon and its appearance in episode 129 with every other episode featuring it. AWESOME. No Bill Go joined the franchise with his animating epsiode 136. The animation wasn't half bad at all. Shuuji Maruyama, the series's character designer, did not animate an episode until the final one. The result? Pure awesome. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_81706730 | comment |
Emergency Impersonation: Z-One takes this to the absolute maximum level, since Yusei had been dead for a good two centuries or so by his time period, he chose to impersonate Yusei by not only doing complete reconstructive surgery on himself to look like Yusei, but implanted a mental control device on himself that gave him Yusei's skills and personality. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Large Ham: Most certainly Crow, who's just brimming with bravado. When he and Jaeger eventually duel, they spend most of it trying to out-ham the other. Jack also qualifies for this trope - as he says in the very first episode, "The King's duels must be entertainment for all!" These days, Jack basically is only Large Ham. He's always on the go, ATLAS PUNCHING people, poking his nose in all sorts of episode-filler crime, buying very expensive coffee and AVENGING CUPS OF RAMEN. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: All of Yusei's non-Signer/main character friends from the beginning disappear before Season 3. Himuro and Yanagi were last seen waving the gang off as they made their way to Satellite, while Rally, Nerve, Taka and Blitz woke up after being released from Uru. Since then... they've appeared briefly in a flashback to Yusei's rematch with Rudger. Subverted with the above four as they return in the hour-long final episode. Then there's Sly, who had possible plotline going of stealing Stardust Dragon... only to be dropped after one episode. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: The Jibakushin/Earthbound Gods. They're massive monsters that require the souls of dozens, if not hundreds of people simply to be summoned, though they only need to do so once, if their user summons them in a later duel they draw on the souls already imprisoned. Even their effects lean into this, as they can attack directly and can't be attacked, apparently due to being so insubstantial that other monsters can't touch them. | |

Back from the Dead: All the Dark Signers were killed and then reanimated by the Earthbound Immortals. With the exception of Rex and Rudger, they get better, though.) A promotional book for the 10th anniversary movie revealed that Divine was revived after the defeat of Goodwin and is currently in jail. All of ZONE's allies are robot forms of their human bodies. Aporia comes back from destruction twice, not even including that time Placido got ripped apart. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: The vast majority of the cast is subjected to this, though the twins (Rua and Ruka, Lua and Luka, Leo and Luna, etc.) get it by far the worst. In-show spellings don't help, seeing as some of them are inconsistent (Bommer/Bomber) and others take real names and make gibberish of them (Luciano's name, in-show, is incorrectly spelled as "Lucciano"). It doesn't help at all with the twins case that 4kids was going to rename Rua with his sister's name for the English dub. An interesting example: in-show, Crow's name is pronounced and spelled as "Crow," and the katakana used romanize as "kurou." However, on the TV Tokyo website, his name is shown in URLs as "Claw" (which, oddly enough, has a nearly identical katakana representation to "Crow" despite being pronounced totally differently in English) | |

On a related note, Episode 44 omits a scene where the Dark Signers' Fog of Doom vaporizes everyone in Satellite except Crow. This edit seems a little strange because it explains where the Satellite citizens sacrificed to the Earthbound Gods came from. However, later episode made it clear that the fog was responsible for their disappearance. | |

This seems to be a Zig-Zagging Trope at times, almost to the point of Depending on the Writer. When Jack uses Red Nova Dragon for the first time in the W.R.G.P. against Team Ragnarok, everybody is wooed by it. The MC even comments on the symbolism of Red Nova Dragon (a card partially derived from a Peruvian Devil) going up against Thor (a Nordic God). In addition, when Aporia appears in his true form for the first time, the W.R.G.P. spectators are quick to evacuate the stadium. | |

Barely a moment later they get back up on their feet as if nothing happened. | |

Wham Episode | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: A lot. (4+ 5) Yusei gets his rematch with Jack that he's been aiming towards. They clash, and at the climax of the duel the Crimson Dragon appears, leaving both with signs on their arms and Yusei carted off to prison. (25+ 26) First full-colour flashback revealing Jack's and Yusei's past, summoning of the Crimson Dragon using all of the Signers, and Jack is violently dethroned. (34+ 35) Flashbacks of Team Satisfaction and Kiryu's murder. First appearance of an Earthbound God and Yusei is nearly killed by it. He escapes, but not without getting a piece of shrapnel stuck in his abdomen. (38+ 39) Carly becomes a Dark Signer. Two Earthbound Gods are summoned at the same time (causing hundreds of people to be sacrificed). Bommer apparently joins the Dark Signers. The city inside the lines is demolished. Divine is killed. (57) We get to see exactly what happened with Zero Reverse. The severed arm with the Dragon's Head turns out to be Rudger's. Iliaster is revealed to have more than a hand in prior (and likely current) events. Yusei falls into Old Momentum after Rudger blows up the bridge the two of them were standing on. (62 through 64) King of the Underworld appears from Old Momentum. Rex becomes both a Signer and a Dark Signer and starts a 1 vs 3 duel with Yusei, Jack and Crow above the city on a massive geogyph. He uses his temple and transforms it into a massive duel disk. Crow becomes a Signer when the Signer marks are switched around. When Rex is defeated, he leaves into the afterlife with his brother, and the rest of the Dark Signers are brought back to life. (107) Bruno's true identity is revealed and he regains his memories back. Yusei goes through an alternate dimension world to obtain Shooting Star Dragon and talk to the ZONE entity. Bruno is also said to come from another world and his mission is to help Yusei and stop the Yliaster trio. Momentum is also stated to respond to people's hearts as Yusei learns how to obtain a "Clear Mind" in order to accel synchro. Then Placido fuses with his D-Wheel to duel Yusei. (134 through 135) Jose reveals to the Signers the future, where Synchro Summons literally destroy the world. It also shows an army of the three Machine Emperors nuking the world, and the fact that the Tenors were once in fact human. The episode ends with the Tenors fusing into one entity, Aporia. Then its revealed that an aged human Aporia met with also human and aged Bruno and Paradox along with ZONE. The four of them performed experiments in hope to save the earth but Bruno and Paradox died of old age. Aporia requests ZONE at his last moments to split himself into three entities representing the three points of despair in his life (losing parents, love and everyone). It is revealed that ZONE created Luciano, Placido and Jose along with a young robotic versions of Bruno and Paradox to send into the past to correct itself. (137) Yusei defeats Aporia and thinks the Ark Cradle is no longer a threat. Cue everyone's celebration cut short by the sky literally shittering and the Ark Cradle descending on Neo Domino City. Everyone is told that the Ark Cradle will collide with Neo Domino City in twelve hours and destroy it, causing massive panic and evacuation. The Ark Cradle is revealed to be the destroyed Neo Domino City turned upside down. Sherry contacts Yusei and is shown to have an Evil Costume Switch. (144/5) Most of the Ark Cradle fits here, but these especially when Bruno finally gets the rest of his memories back and recalls his real name. He promptly challenges Yusei to a Riding Duel around a star. It doesn't last long when he pulls off a new Delta Accel Synchro which causes a supernova and results in a black hole behind the two. Yusei pulls enough Tuners for Shooting Star's effect to finish off Bruno/Antinomy, but not quickly enough to get out of the black hole's path and both are swallowed. Yusei reassures Bruno that no matter what, he's a friend and Bruno sacrifices himself to give enough power to blast Yusei out the black hole and back to the Ark Cradle. Yusei gets back only to find Bruno's broken visor and breaks down. (148-150) Yusei and ZONE get their duel, flying between the Ark Cradle and Neo-Domino. As soon as either takes damage, they go flying and face crashing into buildings of either. As soon as this happens to ZONE, half his mask cracks and falls away, revealing the left side of his face is identical to Yusei's. Turns out then, that he isn't, but someone who recreated himself as Yusei to give people hope and failed. Then he summons a monster that guarantees 4000 points of damage. All the while, Yusei summons his friends' dragons one after another, ZONE takes them all out in the same manner, knocking Yusei down to a low number of life points and out of his D-Wheel. Falling towards Neo-Domino, the spirit of his father appears to him and bitchslaps him into fighting back. Yusei manages to get back into his D-Wheel and resume the duel, summoning Life Stream, rides into SPACE and then calling out every one of his other friends' dragons at once, (becoming Godsei gold in the process) and combines them into Shooting Quaser Dragon. | |

Speed Demon | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_90b75a89 | comment |
Speed Demon: While riding shotgun with Yusei during his Turbo Duel against Sherry, Akiza finds herself experiencing a new thrill that comes with this high-paced form of dueling and decides to start turbo dueling herself to chase this feeling. This would imply that the entire reason Turbo Duels exists is for duelists who are also Speed Demons. The English dub's theme song is about being a Speed Demon. | |

Karmic Death: Divine. A shame they Never Found the Body. Afterwards Divine comes back only to be horrifically eaten by Misty's Earthbound God for killing her brother. He's one of the few characters to have two Karmic Deaths, only now he's Killed Off for Real. In Episode 64 it's stated that all those killed, except the Godwin brothers, have returned to life. A promotional book for the 10th anniversary movie indicates that Divine was also revived and is in jail. | |

Major Injury Underreaction | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_91cab736 | comment |
One of the earliest examples, the end of episode 5. After all the Crimson Dragon disappears and Yusei and Jack come up from the wreckage. In the Japanese version, Yusei winces and looks at his arm, which is glowing with the Dragon Tail Birthmark. Silently, he pulls his glove up and his sleeve down to reveal that yes, it is coming from his arm. In the dub however, he's screaming his head off in pain from the burning on his arm. Completely opposite from the Major Injury Underreaction example in the following episode previously mentioned. | |

Catch a Falling Star: In Episode 64, Jack and Crow, who have fallen from their bikes, begin to fall toward the sea when the magic road on which they were dueling disappears. Yusei, whose Saviour Star Dragon apparently also doubles as some kind of Signer aircraft, directs the SSD beneath his falling friends so that they fall into it (apparently it's part real and part hologram, too), and takes them to safety. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: The game's AI for Tag Force is very... hit or miss. This video shows a few examples. The AI in Tag Force 5 is intelligent, but it is too strict in the priority of the moves they make, and they may walk into a knowingly bad move just because it's programmed to do something. For example, if your opponent adds Marshmallon to their hands the turn before, and the enemy sets that monster on your ally's turn, they will hit the Marshmallon, not thinking it's a Marshmallon. Ditto for the World Championship games, where the AI will forgo a chance to win the duel with a monster effect in favor of just attacking. | |

Can't Catch Up | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_94d2506d | comment |
Can't Catch Up: Aki and Ruka are the only Signers not to receive an upgrade of sorts during the series run. Yusei and Jack acquire THREE different upgrades of their respective dragons. note (However, if Sin Stardust Dragon and Shooting Quasar Dragon are counted, as well as Cosmic Blazar Dragon from the alternate timeline, then Yusei rockets up to six.) Crow and Rua also get their own dragons once they become Signers, but considering Aki and Ruka already had their dragons at this point, the "upgrade" status is arguably not on the same tier. | |

The Ark Cradle has two of these that references past events of 5D's.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_987be393 | comment |
The all-time franchise champion of this has to go to the Team Unicorn duel. First Jack gets flattened by Andre after Team 5D's falls victim to a Gambit Roulette, Aki puts up a better fight, but ends up being cornered into a loss, leaving Yusei with the task of defeating all three duelists, his deck being reduced to only three cards towards the end. He finally pulls through thanks to the large amount of effect monsters in his Graveyard, as well as some Worthy Opponent induced rashness on Jean's part. In fact, Yusei didn't have any cards left to draw after his last turn, and only won because Jean decided to try to win via defeating his monster instead of ending his turn and winning because of deck depletion. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Though not particularly subtle or anything. In Episode 29, it is predicted that one of the main cast will die soon. Sure enough, 9 episodes later. Carly . . . A slightly more subtle version appears in the second ending sequence, when Carly is inexplicably shown with the rest of the Dark Signers. At first it looks grossly out of place, but then... Not to mention the completed bridge in the last shot of the second ending. In the second OP and ED, Crow is routinely shown with the Signers. In some places, Rua is also shown with the Signers, and as it turns out, Signers + Rua and Crow are the seven people to fight the Dark Signers. Godwin's shirt is patterned with a condor. As a Dark Signer, he gained the condor mark and Earthbound Immortal. | |

In episode 12, Yusei and Ushio fall down an elevator shaft for over a minute and land safely at the bottom with no forward momentum. Jack has taken several D-wheel spills that should have snapped his neck in two. Slightly subverted in that two instances of this land him in the hospital, and one puts him out of commission for the rest of a tag duel. Crow claims to break a couple of ribs in Episode 52 after a nasty fall, but they healed pretty quick, seeing as he never mentions it again, nor does he appear to suffer any pain at all after the initial comment. Averted though when he wipes out in episode 97 and actually breaks his arm. Although he is able to briefly battle Team Castrophoe in episodes 104 and 105, other than that, he is pretty much out of comission for over 15 episodes afterward. Completely averted with Aki; one bad spill on her D-Wheel puts her in a coma. | |

Mr. Fixit: Yusei has built 3 D-Wheels comepletely out of salvaged parts from Satellite: The first one (White) was created after seeing one on TV. After Jack stole it in his bid at escaping Satellite, He created the second and current (Red) one (which is apprently named ''Yusei Go''). The third one was a prototype for Aki's Bloody Kiss, but Jack and Crow helped with that one. Not only that, but he also reverse engineered Rua's D-Board after being told about it overnight. After the Dark Signers arc, this appears to be his trade. | |

Death Is Dramatic: All the Dark Signers. Played with concerning Divine. What ends up looking like his death is quite dramatic, with him falling down the middle of a skyscraper and all, but it's subverted in that he turns out Not Quite Dead. His real death, however, is quite quick and averts the trope entirely. When Rua dies during the battle with Aporia, it played very dramatically, despite him being revived via a combo of a card he left, Ancient Fairy Dragon, and the Crimson Dragon Played straight with Antinomy, especially since he earlier made a name for himself in the series as Bruno. | |

Near-Villain Victory | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_ac6ea68c | comment |
Near-Villain Victory: It's Yu-Gi-Oh, what did you expect? Subverted when Crow wipes the floor with a handful of Security Officers in about one turn. Later, Crow nearly loses to Dark Signer Bommer in a Shadow Duel. Yusei manages to win against Rudger in a duel when he was reduced to 50 lifepoints not long after the beginning. Season Two finale. Rex first takes Crow's LP down to one and disables his bike, then does the same to Jack. He proceeds to take Yusei down to one without disabling his bike, and his victory appears imminent until Yusei summons Savior Star Dragon, and does some fancy trap-activation with his friends' remaining cards on the field. Quite a few season three's duels are turning out this way. But special mention to Lotten's duel against both Yusei and Kiryu. Seriously, he wipes out ALL of Kiryu's life points on the first turn, with but one card keeping him alive. After that Kiryu and Yusei struggle to so much as defend themselves against him, before finally getting the upper hand using not only the all-too-common epic draws (not that Lotten was immune, see Gatling Ogre), but actually bluffing a few times and taking advantage of Lotten's dislike of gambling. The all-time franchise champion of this has to go to the Team Unicorn duel. First Jack gets flattened by Andre after Team 5D's falls victim to a Gambit Roulette, Aki puts up a better fight, but ends up being cornered into a loss, leaving Yusei with the task of defeating all three duelists, his deck being reduced to only three cards towards the end. He finally pulls through thanks to the large amount of effect monsters in his Graveyard, as well as some Worthy Opponent induced rashness on Jean's part. In fact, Yusei didn't have any cards left to draw after his last turn, and only won because Jean decided to try to win via defeating his monster instead of ending his turn and winning because of deck depletion. | |

In episode 75, Yusei takes Aki to a roller-skating rink to teach her to find her center of balance. According to Yusei, learning to skate will somehow help Aki learn to ride a D-wheel. | |

Defeating the Cheating Opponent | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_ad042153 | comment |
Defeating the Cheating Opponent: Episodes 9 and 10 have Yusei dueling against corrupt prison warden Armstrong for his freedom. The catch is that Yusei is playing with a deck of mismatched cards given to him by the other inmates and both players' duel disks are made to electrocute them whenever life points are lost. Armstrong blatantly cheats by not only rigging his disk to not shock him, but also using the prison's security cameras to look at Yusei's hand. Fortunately, with the help of fellow inmate Alex, Yusei manages to turn the warden's cheating against him and win the duel. When Armstrong tries to go back on the deal out of spite, Goodwin steps in, fires him out of disgust, and gives Yusei a safe trip out of the prison. | |

Oh, Crap!: Whenever an Earthbound God is summoned, particularly if the character is on the receiving end. Yusei gets one when he realizes that Breo is using a Deck Destruction Deck.

That is not an Oh Crap moment. That is a flat-out OH shit moment. His face says it all.◊ Doesn't help any that he has this◊ coming after him! Team 5D's all suffer this when they told that the Big Bad's Doom Fortress is about to crash onto the city, killing everything within 30 miles. Then another (and it wouldn't be surprising the entire population watching joined in) when Zone's mask breaks away to show the left side of an aged Yusei's face. | |

Jack Atlas never lost a duel in the two or so years he was King, making it an in-universe example. But this is Fridge Brilliance as revealed much later in the series,that Godwin was actually paying off strong duelists who could actually be a threat to him, such as Dragan. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Used in half of the Dark Signer duels. The Earthbound Immortals required their field spells to stay alive. The turbo duelists who used them used Speed World as their field spell which cannot be destroyed in a turbo duel, so their Earthbound Immortals weren't going anywhere easily. | |

Jesus Taboo | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_b25df244 | comment |
Jesus Taboo: Savior Star Dragon is renamed Majestic Star Dragon in the English dub; likewise with Savior Daemons' Dragon becoming Majestic Red Dragon and the Earthbound Gods being re-named the Earthbound Immortals. Godwin also became Goodwin, which is rather silly considering that Godwin is a real Anglo-Saxon name that's been around for a thousand years. The Polar Gods have been re-named "the Aesir" for the English-speaking World. However, this, like the Savior Dragons, this was a real life TCG name change that 4Kids mainly followed for consistency and only applies to the individual monsters' names. The actual episodes do not stray away from addressing the Aesir as the Nordic Gods that they are, with Dragan outright emphasizing that they were once real and ruled the Earth. | |

Executive Meddling | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_b6de94d1 | comment |
A complicated case due to Executive Meddling and subversion. There were originally only five Signers because there were only five birthmarks of the Crimson Dragon, and five dragons working for it. The Team 5D's was named because of that reason, even though the team was officially formed with seven members, although they made it clear that the two extra members were just extras, not Signers. However, because Executive Meddling made Crow the new fifth Signer instead of Lua who was originally intended to be, a sixth dragon was added a season later after Crow became a Signer and the dragon was retroactively added in new flashbacks. When Lua became the sixth Signer near the end of the series, a sixth birthmark was added and he got the fifth dragon that has been shown for years. | |

And in 2011, he is injured through most of the final chapter (Alongside everyone else, minus you, Yusei and Jack), forcing you to take his place. Also, Bruno, whose role is replaced by Misaki. | |

Self-Insert Fic | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_b9d11ad6 | comment |
Self-Insert Fic: The entire Story Mode of Stardust Accelerator essentially inserts your player character into the main protagonist role up till the conclusion of the Fortune Cup, following closely behind Yusei's steps before they Duel in the Fortune Cup semifinals for the right to face Jack. Downplayed in Reverse of Arcadia, where your player character starts as an Arcadia Movement member, essentially a spectator to the climactic Fortune Cup finals, but they have a background as a former member of the Enforcers and also a link to Luna's Spirit World so that they have a significant role in the Dark Signer arc. Double Subverted in Over the Nexus — the player character is a native to Crash Town with their own friends and family and only has brief run-ins with the anime cast, but by the later half of the game they're forced into the protagonist role once their story intertwines with Team 5D's. | |

Compressed Adaptation: Story Mode in each of the World Championship series games adapts each season of the 5D's anime. Due to the player having little to no common backstory with the established cast and taking part in all the plot-important duels, several backstory-relevant conflicts are left out of the narrative. Over the Nexus ends at the defeat of Yliaster in the finale of the WRGP, and doesn't go into the Ark Cradle. | |

Yusei's journey to Z-One's world qualifies. The Ark Cradle arc is being considered as this. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: In episode 55 it was revealed that the Signers have the ability to temporarily steal the marks of other Signers to create a mark of the Crimson Dragon on their backs, which allows them to summon a Saviour version of their Signer dragon and have an otherwise impossible victory in a duel. Episode 64: If Crow weren't already powerful enough, he's definitely powerful now that he has gained status as a Signer. In episode 78 Rua is saved from falling by all the Signers using their marks to summon the Crimson Dragon and produce a bubble to allow Rua to escape uninjured. | |

Big "NO!" | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Big "NO!": The scene in 39 after Carly defeats (and kills) Divine. Episode 46, when Martha is sacrificed, although she gets better and again when Rally sacrifices himself to save Yusei. Also, in 142 when Rua sacrifices his life points to bring back Power Tool Dragon and Ancient Fairy Dragon, thus killing himself. Ruka's pained scream is so heartbreaking. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Jin Himuro and Tenzen Yanagi haven't been mentioned ever since the episode where the Signers all enter Satellite to battle the Dark Signers, and Rally, Blitz, Nervin, and Taka are never heard from again after Yusei saves them from the bowels of Rudger's Earthbound God. You'd think they'd stop existing once the series moved on. However, this was averted near the end of the series. In episode 150 and again in 151, during his final battle with the Big Bad Z-ONE, Yusei briefly remembers all the people depending on him, and all 6 of the people mentioned above are included. Rally, Blitz, Nervin, and Taka also make a quick cameo in the final episode, watching in awe as Yusei speeds by in his final Riding Duel with Jack. They even get a speaking role! | |

Hope Spot: When Yusei tries to Accel Synchro, but thanks to Placido's Hannibal Lecture, he loses his nerve, and the summoning fails. Thankfully said failure is only temporary. A brutal one is when Z-One, after literally changing who he was to think, look, and act just like Yusei and managing to start saving the World bit by bit, has everyone he's ever saved or known die horribly or fall to their death because he couldn't do enough before a Zero Reverse happened. | |

Someone on Janime Forums pointed out that Crow's full name as given in the third season ending, "Crow Hogan," may be a play on words from the important Japanese historical figure Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who had a title that romanizes as "Hogan". According to legend, Yoshitsune was trained in swordmanship by a Tengu, a Japanese crow-demon. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Every single freaking duel Sherry had in the WRGP. Namely beating teams of three with only two riders, and heavily implied to beat all of them on her own. One of the off-screen duels during the Fortune Cup was a dueling psychologist with a Freudian Complex Deck against a profiler who specifically creates his Decks to play with the minds of his opponents. Granted, the former was required to lose on purpose as part of Goodwin's plan, but it still would have been cool to see... In Z-One's timeline, Yusei apparently played a tag-team tournament with Aki and Mukuro. Why did Yusei choose Aki over Jack and Crow? How did Yusei grow to trust Mukuro so much? Did Aki get over her Chickification? How much stronger did Mukuro become, to be placed in Yusei's pedigree? We'll never know. In episode 152, Jack defeats Kiryu, Bommer and Sherry all offscreen to build up to his rematch with Yusei. | |

Intentional Engrish for Funny | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c69df6b9 | comment |
Intentional Engrish Forfunny In Episode 14, Lua tells Tenpei that Yusei has "cusmatised" his Duel Disk. He repeatedly mispronounces it, in spite of being repeatedly told that the word he wants is "customised." Crow's guilty, too: in Episode 32, while telling the story of the Daedalus Bridge, two of his orphaned boys start picking on one of his girls. To stop them, he tells them "you guys lack a little something called 'delivery' around a girl's feelings," only to have the wind taken out of his sails when Blitz points out that Crow means "delicacy." And as of episode 86, "Wan Tahn, Sree Keel" is starting to gain popularity. | |

Shout-Out | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Numerous. Other than the nods to previous series, there are apparent nods to, among many, many other things, The DC Universe, Sailor Moon, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Trigun, Eyeshield 21 and even (hold your breath) Real Life. Rua's Deformer cards are pretty blatant shout-outs to Transformers. Rua uses alot of cards with references to popular childrens anime as a base. Deformer Chakkan is pretty obviously a reference to "Golden Warrior Gold Lightan". In an interesting example, there have been several one-shot characters whose designs are clearly taken from the Toei Yu-Gi-Oh! series, the 1998, 27-episode "Yu-Gi-Oh: Shadow Games" (commonly known in fandom as "Season Zero"). GaoGaiGar gets its fair share of shout-outs. In the dub episode with FAKE!JACK, before REAL!JACK used his last attack, he says "It's time for the real Jack Atlas to stand up". The origin is an old game show To Tell The Truth, which Eminem was referencing. Heck, there's even a reference to Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The design of Seven Swords Warrior is very similar to the 00 Raiser's design, except without the main-section of the 0 Raiser (the part where Saji usually sits with the Red Haro). Its name alone is a reference to both Exia and 00 Raiser's upgrades (though the latter only appeared in the manga sidestories): the Seven Swords System. Seven Swords Warrior seems, however, to be using a mix between Exia's swords and 00 Raiser's swords, most notably Exia's two extra physical swords and the 00 Raiser's GN Buster Sword II. Speaking of Gundam, Katsumi Ono (the director of 5D's) has said that Yusei turning gold during the Delta Accel Synchro summon came from G-Gundam's hyper mode. Jack's got the need. The need for speed. There's a good one lost completely by the Dub Name Change of Bomber to Greiger. During his duel with Crow, he activates a trap called Basara. It sacrifices a monster, turns said monster into fire and the monster destroys another and deals 800 damage. It cannot be coincidence that Fire, Bomber, and Basara came up altogether in one play. During the duel between Yusei and Kiryu vs. Lotten in Crash Town, Kiryu's use of Infernity Death Gunman, including his dialogue and how he manipulates Lotten, are a clear reference to Dirty Harry. Them being in a Wild West setting probably helps. | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: Not as a whole, but there was one tiny bit in the 2nd version of the Dark Signer Arc opening, when it showed Jack and D-Carly facing off in a Ground Duel. As anyone who actually saw the Duel will know, this wasn't the case. Despite being shown in silhouette alongside Wisel and Skiel in the third opening, Jose's Machine Emperor (Grannel) never shows up during the episodes it plays for. In addition, the last shot depicts Yusei, Crow and Jack wearing WRGP outfits, Aki and Ruka dressed in cheerleader uniforms and Rua with a blue outfit on. It noticeably doesn't acknowledge Aki learning how to drive a D-Wheel and temporarily substituting for Crow on the team, and Bruno showing up and joining the pit crew along with Aki, Ruka, and Ruka. And best of all, none of the main characters even wear the outfits pictured! The fourth opening and ending songs depict Life Stream Dragon, Rua's Signer Dragon, along with the other Sgner Dragons although it wasn't entirely clear at the time. It doesn't appear at all during the fourth opening and ending songs' run, and only appears during the run of the fifth and final opening and ending songs, which actually switch back to showing Rua's Power Tool Dragon, the "armor" of Life Stream Dragon, so-to-speak, instead. | |

Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c87660d5 | comment |
(148-150) Yusei and ZONE get their duel, flying between the Ark Cradle and Neo-Domino. As soon as either takes damage, they go flying and face crashing into buildings of either. As soon as this happens to ZONE, half his mask cracks and falls away, revealing the left side of his face is identical to Yusei's. Turns out then, that he isn't, but someone who recreated himself as Yusei to give people hope and failed. Then he summons a monster that guarantees 4000 points of damage. All the while, Yusei summons his friends' dragons one after another, ZONE takes them all out in the same manner, knocking Yusei down to a low number of life points and out of his D-Wheel. Falling towards Neo-Domino, the spirit of his father appears to him and bitchslaps him into fighting back. Yusei manages to get back into his D-Wheel and resume the duel, summoning Life Stream, rides into SPACE and then calling out every one of his other friends' dragons at once, (becoming Godsei gold in the process) and combines them into Shooting Quaser Dragon. | |

Dub Text | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_c88b1139 | comment |
Dub Text: Perhaps most evident in Episode 31, where Carly tells Jack to "get back to the hotel" instead of telling him he can't be out on his own when he's barely healed. Also from Episode 31: "You have any good ideas?" "Just one, but if this don't work out, maybe we should get a room in Security tonight!" (Yusei and Crow, respectively.) This line has absolutely nothing to do with the original Japanese, where Yusei simply asks Crow if he's all right after taking a direct hit from their opponents. The dub of Episode 72 plays up Sherry's duel with Yusei as a kind of metaphor for sex. Aki's musings over Yusei's interactions with Sherry also sound like jealousy. Episode 93 has Trudge ask "Yusei, would it be okay if [Bruno] shacked up at your place just a little bit longer?" In episode 99, when Jack is being carted off to the hospital after his crash, Yusei tells Mikage, Carly, and Stephanie that Jack may need mouth-to-mouth, much to their delight. Please note that this was deifinitely not in the Japanese version, and that although Jack crashed, he was still talking just fine. There are also many, many non-sexual examples of this trope, far too many to list. | |

Power Trio: Yusei, Jack, and Aki, according to Godwin. As well as Yusei, Jack, and Crow, as not only the remaining members of Team Satisfaction, but also when they play a 3 vs 1 duel against the last Dark Signer. Yusei, Jack, and Crow also fit in that following Episode 64, they are the three male Signers, as well as being the Signers with the most important birthmarks thus far. The third opening focuses heavily on Yusei, Jack, and Crow in a pair of three, as well as Aki and the twins as another three. | |

It's Up to You: While it has become standard for the player to be the one involved in all the important Duels, the trope becomes exaggerated with the WRGP duels in WC 2011. The player must sweep through the remaining opposition for their team, even in instances where there is a third member who could pick up their slack should they be defeated. | |

A major subplot in Season 1 involved Akiza's psychic powers and the Arcadia Movement, a group of psychic duelists bordering on a cult run by the manipulative Divine, who is later revealed to have killed several people while trying to bring out their abilities, including Misty's younger brother. Akiza's psychic powers are largely ignored outside of physically manifesting monsters, and abruptly disappear mid-season in time to bench her against Team Catastrophe, and only return near the series conclusion with little explanation. The Arcadia Movement itself is never brought up again, despite Divine apparently surviving being eaten by Ccarayhua and currently sitting in jail. | |

Letting Her Hair Down: Inverted with Aki; when her Power Limiter hairband falls out and lets her bangs down, it's because she's upset and unable to control herself. Sherry at the very end Episode 71. and onward. Until the moment when she lets her hair out of her helmet, her duel with Yusei is deadly serious - but from that point forward, she's taken on a slightly playful air, but Sherry's default mode still seems to be deadly serious. | |

Spoiler Opening: The first opening and ending spoils Yusei getting a marker and hinting his imprisonment and him getting Stardust back. Averted in the second and third opening and endings, but the fourth opening spoilers Yusei learning Accel Synchro and Jack's new power. The fifth opening reveals There's still one more member of the Illiaster crew - and one more Infinity monster to be revealed. The fourth opening does it again by revealing Granel in the episode it appears, before it actually shows up The Animation for Ending 4 ("Close to You") ends with a shot of Jack, Crow and Yusei on their D-Wheels with the Signer Dragons flying behind them. All six of them, that is. Including Rua's Life Stream Dragon, which didn't appear until halfway through the time Opening 5 ran for. And then Opening 5 also reveals Life Stream Dragon before it even appears in the anime, yet Ending 5 only shows Power Tool Dragon. | |

Double Subverted in Over the Nexus — the player character is a native to Crash Town with their own friends and family and only has brief run-ins with the anime cast, but by the later half of the game they're forced into the protagonist role once their story intertwines with Team 5D's. | |

Serial Escalation | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: This can be said for the whole franchise but 5Ds in particular regularly escalates to make the other series look positively dull in comparison. Card Games on Motorcycles aside, that is the least interesting thing when compared to evil Nazca Lines deities rampaging through the city, Old Western standoffs with guns that turn into Duel Disks, robots playing card games on Motorcycles and proceeding to fuse with their motorcycles, card games on motorcycles IN A SIMULATION OF SPACE around a sun which explodes into a supernova, creating a Black Hole, or a giant flying machine man with a huge deck and detached Robot Hands playing a children's card game with a man riding a FLYING motorcycle with red phoenix wings and performing a technique that doesn't exist (not even 200 years later in an advanced future) and actually flying into outer space (and still breathing) to summon his greatest ace monster while a giant, floating citadel from the future drops slowly towards the ground. That's not even a quarter of the over the top stuff that this series has to offer. At the end of the series, in a 'normal' Riding Duel like the last duel between Yusei and Jack, a friendly duel with no one's life on the line, Yusei rides alongside walls, dodges huge air fans, and jumps an incredibly large pool of liquid magma without missing a beat or fear of death when he didn't even have to. The very last shot of the series is of Yusei riding his motorcycle into the sky (except now it CAN'T fly.) Even when the show tries to be tame, it's still wildly over the top | |

Lighter and Softer: Compared to the Dark Signer Arc, the W.R.G.P. Arc seems to be shaping up to be this. Its been subverted more recently lately, as much of the lighter and softer elements were a facade for what might be disaster far worse than Old Momentum, or what Rex Godwin tried to accomplish. Episode 117 supports this. Definitely Subverted with The Ark Cradle and the ruining future. | |

Screw Destiny: Jack doesn't believe in destiny, and this is embodied by his card Change Destiny. In Episode 58, Crow's statement to Yusei that he doesn't believe destiny is responsible for all that's happened, and that "if I had any destiny, it was in meeting you!" (an alternate translation of this line is "my only destiny was meeting you.") | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome:The show has a hefty dosage of this trope, yet conducts all of the insanity that crops up in a completely straight-faced, almost deadpan manner. For example, in the World Championship games, you can set any card in your deck to be your "Key Card". Doing this does... Nothing, except add some nice effects when you use that card. Problem is, it can be ANY card. So, thunderbolts fall, and the whole field gets dark as you summon your ultimate card, the most destructive thing in the entire game: Kuriboh. Setting a card in your deck as a key card does have a small purpose: A small bonus in Dual Points whenever the card is used in a match. You will either think that Aporia's introduction is either cool, or the most ridiculous fucking thing ever. Also his D-Wheel looks like a cat's face. | |

Arc Welding: A first for the franchise, and done pretty well. The final story arc reveals that Paradox from the movie is a servant of Z-one along with Aporia and Bruno, and the four are the leaders of Yliaster and thus the ones responsible for Zero Reverse, the splitting of the cities, and (indirectly) the rise of the Dark Signers. And just with Aporia himself, the Diablo army, the WRGP, and the Jack Atlas clone, are all schemes to speed up the completion of their Infinity Circuit so Z-one can cross over into the past. | |

Soup of Poverty | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_de0406f6 | comment |
Soup of Poverty: In the second arc, while Yusei, Jack, and Crow (and later Bruno) are living in a rented garage, they have financial issues so the food they're seen eating most often is instant ramen. The thing is, it actually tastes really good and Jack is absolutely obsessed with the stuff, which becomes a plot point when another character who currently lives on Poverty Food breaks in, said character being Lazar, who steals a cup because he really likes it. Half of that particular mini-arc is Jack and Lazar crying over their love of instant ramen. | |

Bad Future | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_deb39de3 | comment |
Bad Future: The show starts at least several decades after the ending of GX and Duel Monsters. The Domino City of the original series has been ripped literally apart into two separate landmasses, with strong social end econeomical divides between them. "The satellite", the neighbourhood Yugi used to live in in the original series, has become a derelict slum. After season 1, things gradually start improving. From the point of view of the main cast in this series the future that ZONE, Bruno/Antinomy, Paradox and Aporia came from is a total apocalypse because of what Momentum did. | |

Red and Black and Evil All Over: Played with regarding Aki: she does start out as a villain wearing a black robe (and we are shown her red hair), but then we get to see her clothes... and they actually feature much more white than black. And then fully averted with her riding duel suit, which features a blood-red color scheme interspread with jet-black lines that wouldn't look out of place on a villain character, but by this time Aki is firmly a protagonist. | |

Ridiculously Human Robots: Bruno/Antinomy is capable of sleeping, eating, emotions even bleeding at one point and you wouldn't think he is a robot until you saw his focus episodes and backstory. Aporia is a played with example. He doesn't look human at all, but he's displayed quite human emotions. He reverts back to a stoic voice and stance in his duel with Jack, Rua and Ruka only to go back to being emotional in the middle of the duel. | |

Expy | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Sly is a mini version of Manjoume from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Bommer is a good guy version of Bandit Keith. He tries to the kill the Big Bad, has a Machine deck and is later resurrected in a twisted way. Heitmann is a throwback to Chronos De Medici, in both attitude and the deck he plays (Ancient/Antique Gears, which were used by Chronos against Juudai during his entrance exam duel). They're even played by the same voice actor in the dubs. Bruno bears a rather stunning physical resemblance to Johan Andersen, also from GX, and develops a similar relationship with The Hero (that being, Ho Yay Love at First Sight). Jack's overall attitude and dress make him look like Kaiba given a blonde Anime Hair makeover. Funnily enough, Jack's main divergences from Kaiba are his hotbloodedness and shades of Idiot Hero... places where he also diverges from Yusei. Add in the fact that they both love their Dragons, and Yusei and Jack together a very close Expy of Kaiba. Sherry could be a Gender Flipped version of Edo Phoenix, being a badass Well-Intentioned Extremist out to avenge her parents' murder. Brave could be an expy of Crow from the same series, having many character traits in common. To the point where it seems like they're actually twins Separated at Birth. So is it just me that thinks that Aki looks like a certain terrorist mecha pilot with longer bangs. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerfed: Wiraqocha Rasca, titled as the strongest Earthbound God is actually one of the most useless Eartbounds cards in real life and part of this is due to its signature HP to 1 effect removed. The TCG does this to many cards whose anime effects might be construed as "over powered", such as Black Rose Dragon, Scar-Red Nova Dragon, or Polar God Thor, although rarely it will be inverted, such as with Blue Rose Dragon and Shooting Quasar Dragon.note While it loses one of its extra attacks per turn in the TCG, it does have its extremely situational effects, which are good for countering the Temporal Machine Gods and almost nothing else, replaced with a very powerful and applicable effect-negation skill. | |

Big Damn Heroes: When a group of kids are about to be sacrificed to Rudger's Earthbound God and Yusei can't do anything about it, Jack comes barreling over a pile of debris to save them, belittling the Earthbound God all the while. At the end of the Crashtown arc, just as the bad guys start saying Screw The Rules, I Have Hostages, Jack and Crow show up outta frickin' nowhere with the police in tow. The result is the (temporary) rebirth of Team Satisfaction. Dark Glass in Episode 107, saving Yusei from the Diablo. The MC pulls this in episode 148, staying behind in New Domino City as the Arc Cradle is in the middle of falling on it in order to commentate on the Card Games on FLYING Motorcycles so the civillians who understandably wanted to watch could continue running for their lives while still knowing what's going on. | |

All Bikers are Hells Angels: Trudge's deck in the third arc has a number of "Stygian"-themed cards in addition to his old feudal Japanese themed ones, which sport designs like a demonic rider on a motorcycle. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Kiryu is made out to be completely insane, but by the end of his final duel with Yusei, it becomes clear that his hatred for Yusei is due to a series of unfortunate misunderstandings. Of course, he still has to die. Rex and Rudger Godwin. In Episode 64, following Rex's defeat, he and Rudger meet Yusei in starspace, at which point Rex tells his brother they have "chosen the wrong path" and, instead of being revived with the other Dark Signers, they walk together into the afterlife. Antinomy or rather, Bruno, reconciled with and saved Yusei's life while a Black Hole was sucking up everything, and told Yusei that his time with Team 5Ds was not only the best time of his life, but how it gave him hope that they would do the impossible and save the future right before he died. | |

Rival Turned Evil | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_f163b235 | comment |
Rival Turned Evil: Kiryu Kyosuke was the Yusei's best friend as the leader of Team Satisfaction, but he got too excited by the whole conquering-Satellite deal. When he tried to duel all of Security and ended up killing one of them, leading to a situation where he believed that Yusei had turned him into the police, Yusei's and Kiryu's friendship got shot to hell. Kiryu died in prison bearing thoughts of revenge toward Yusei for supposedly turning him in, becoming a Dark Signer. This actually happens to Jack a few times. He first drifted apart from Yusei and then going as far as to put Rally's life in danger so that he could steal Stardust Dragon and Yusei's D-Wheel to become King and forgot about his life in Satellite. Then he turns into a Dark Signer during Carly's Lotus-Eater Machine but quickly snaps out of it. And then there's a variation with a Jack robot in season three. To top it all off, his manga counterpart may or may not qualify depending on how much Yusei and Jack's relationship has changed in the Alternate Universe. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: In order to duel the 5 Dark Signers at the end of that arc, the groups splits up, with 1 duelist each going by car or motorcycle to a different location. Everyone is then shown spending all episodes before their own duel driving. And driving and driving. No duels take place at the same time, and everyone arrives at their own destination after another duel has ended and before another begins. In addition to being a huge coincidence, and the length of traveling time and distances not making sense, this completely defeats the purpose behind why they agreed to split up in the first place rather than go as a group to each location one at a time. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: The show is set at least a few decades after the events of GX, with the titular card game having become an even more integral part of society, technology having visibly progressed, and Domino City having devolved into a poorly-kept slum. Kaibacorp remains the biggest corporate conglomerate in the world, however, and at east in the dub several characters from the first two series are still suggested to be active as duelists. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die" is in full effect, which makes watching the Dark Signer arc a real treat, especially since the villains are people who died with hate in their hearts. Episode 70 was an especially blatant case, as it has all the trappings of a "put long-dead spirits to rest" story, but 4Kids claims they've just gone to play with their forest spirit friends and can come back anytime they want. Episodes 94 and 95 are also pretty bad, upgrading a (non-supernatural) card's threat from reasonable in this series (the special effects are too realistic and cause actual, possibly lethal damage) to ridiculous (causes real damage and can send victims to the netherworld.) | |

Together in Death: When he is forced to defeat a possessed Carly, Jack intends to use a Trap (Shockwave) to end the Dark Duel in a tie, so they will both go down together. However before he can use it, Carly uses her own Trap (Earthbound Release) to ensure only she dies. In the season 1 finale, Rex meets up with his brother Rudger after his death so they can go to the afterlife together. | |
