Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise)	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! (Japanese for "King of Games") is a multimedia franchise that includes multiple Anime and Manga series, a Collectible Card Game, a line of Video Games, and more.The original manga series, written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi and serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1996 to 2004, tells the story of Yugi Mutou, a put-upon teenager who is pulled into a world of intrigue and high-stakes gaming after solving the mysterious and ancient Millennium Puzzle. The puzzle, an artifact from ancient Egypt, grants Yugi a mysterious alter ego, an ancient gambler who spends much of the early series facing evildoers who threaten his friends in "Shadow Games," where mystic forces punish the wicked if they lose.Slowly, the game used as an important plot device turned towards the trading card game Duel Monsters, eventually revealed to be loosely based on an ancient Egyptian Shadow Game played by the previous owners of the Millennium Items. Yugi and his friends discover that his alternate personality was the spirit of a Pharaoh from those times, who had forgotten his memories. From then on, Yugi and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives in their search to uncover the Pharaoh's name and memories.In 1998, it received an anime adaptation by Toei, which ended after 27 episodes and a 30-minute movie. A second anime adaptation, originally titled ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters" in Japan, launched in 2000. Headed by NAS and Konami, and adapted into English by 4Kids Entertainment, this anime series multiplied the card game aspect by ten and its success gave the franchise immense popularity worldwide.Yugi's story was eventually completed, but the franchise continued in Spin Offs with new spiky-haired protagonists. The Shadow Games may be gone, but Duel Monsters still has a knack for channeling supernatural or scientific forces beyond comprehension.Of course, that's only half of the franchise. The other big moneymaker for this series is the companion card game. In a fun bit of Defictionalization, Yu-Gi-Oh! eventually produced a real card game to go alongside the manga following fan outcry. Konami purchased the license and handled production, which was then brought over to the west a few years later by Upper Deck. The impact of the card game on the franchise has been notable- while the manga was initially written with the conceit of a new game being played every few weeks, the Duel Monsters card game quickly eclipsed the other concepts in popularity. Now, the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime acts as a way to promote new cards for the game and show off potential strategies that are, for the most part, replicable in-game. These days, Yu-Gi-Oh! is pretty much entirely focused around the trading card game.Moving away from the manga's flexible and non-committal ruleset, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game has a defined tournament rulebook with lots of room for strategy. Each new season of the anime brings in more cards to the game, and many arcs introduced entire new mechanics like Synchro Summoning and Pendulum Summoning. It, alongside PokÃ©mon and Magic: The Gathering, define the "Big Three" of the trading card world.The works in this franchise so far are:

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_14431f9	comment	Yugi Muto, or rather his Superpowered Evil Side Dark Yugi, is possibly the Trope Codifier for the anime community. Yugi is dubbed the "King of Games" and has a reputation for being an expert in all forms of games. It's played far more straight in the manga continuity and the first anime series where he would play in all types of games from board games to card games. However, all subsequent anime-only series have him only focusing on the Duel Monsters card game. Though he still qualifies for this, where to date he has only lost twice, with one of them due to timeout and the other time being against himself. His amazing success combines both exceptional strategic thinking along with luck manipulation.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_19769f50	comment	Defeat Means Friendship: The best way to make friends in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! is to beat them in a card game. At the worst, they'll become your Jerk with a Heart of Gold Rival. This is usually how the protagonists gather several of his friends. ARC-V zigzags between playing it straight and averting, mocking, or having villains exploit it. Then it's played straight again as Yuya's dueling causes a ton of villains turning good. VRAINS averts this most of the time and the one time this comes into play, the villain exploits the opportunity and gives them a brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_1cc2ea8d	type	Villain Ball
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Given Yugi's Duel Monsters track record, just shooting him sure would be an easier way of killing him than challenging him to a duel every time! They would also accomplish any other goals like destroying/ taking over the world much faster if they didn't let it all rest on a one-on-one duel with him, a tradition Saiou/Sartorius finally breaks in GX. The series do what they can in terms of justifying it; most of the MacGuffin collections can only change hands in a duel and so forth. Then there was that time one of the "Player Killers" in the Duelist Kingdom arc decided to protest his defeat by Yugi... using a pair of flamethrowers. It didn't work. Yami's Mind Crush on the other hand worked just fine. This is how Saiou breaks the tradition. He pretends to be playing along with this, and then while the hero is bound in the fight, he sets off The Plan. Because all he needs to do is press a button, he can do it during the match. Judai/Jaden and his duel spirits can't leave the match. Of course, he started to break it when Judai first challenged him to the duel and Saiou's reaction was, paraphrased, "No. I've got what I need. I don't need to duel you." The only reason he did duel Judai was that Neos manifested to keep Saiou from getting the keys to the SORA satellite. THEN he used the duel in order to weaken Neos, which allowed him to steal the satellite keys and give them to his nearest brainwashed flunky, who could and did run off to get the satellite going while Judai was tied up in the duel. Saiou (or more precisely, the Light of Ruin/Destruction) didn't count on Kenzan/Hassleberry and Mizuchi/Serena, Saiou's own sister, teaming up to put a halt to things. Naturally, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series has a field day with this issue. In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, all Jean has to do to defeat Yusei after a long and extensive duel is end his turn since Yusei has no cards left in his deck and would automatically lose once his turn began, however, he gets caught up in the thrill of the duel and attacks Yusei who defends with a card in his hand and depletes Jean's life points. Sora in ARC-V is depicted as one of the smarter Duelists in the series, but after being revealed as a villain he immediately begins underestimating his opponents and pays dearly for it.

Always has some sort of supernatural powers that they use to help the protagonist win duels and is always central to the plot. In fact, the only reason the main character is at the center of the story is because of his connection to this character. This character often ends up dueling the protagonist in the final battle of the series.

The second-series anime lampshaded in a Filler Arc how nice it is to compete in a tournament for fun without worrying about a villain. Naturally a villain showed up in the form of Siegfried von SchrÃ¶der, but he was a relatively harmless one after the likes of Dartz and Dark Marik. Granted, Siegfried still engaged in cyber-terrorism, corporate espionage, fraud, and cheating at Duel Monsters, so his harmlessness is indeed relative.

The GX was for "Generation Next", 5D's for the Five Signer Dragons, and ZEXAL is the Super Mode the hero receives. ARC-V comes from the machine that Leo Akaba intends to fuse the dimensions with and Zarc, the titular main antagonist of that series. VRAINS stands for Virtual Reality Artificial Intelligence Network System. SEVENS refers to it being the seventh show in the franchise as of now, with additional meanings hinted at in-universe. Oddly enough, GO RUSH!! is the second series to use Rush Dueling.

Each anime (bar 5D's and VRAINS) will feature a rival character who has a Morality Pet younger brother. The original series had Kaiba and Mokuba, GX had Ryo and Sho, ZEXAL had Kaito and Haruto, and ARC-V had Reiji and Reira. The last one has a twist, though: Reira is not only adopted, but is also a female. Each Rival will use a Dragon themed deck and a signature monster with 3000 attack points (with the exception being Roa, again from SEVENS, due to the lower power level of Rush Duel cards). And they usually start out as Jerkass characters. If they don't use Dragons, then they will use Fiends.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_2a7e7af1	type	Limited Wardrobe
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_2a7e7af1	comment	Limited Wardrobe: It's an unwritten rule that the lead character of Yu-Gi-Oh! would have the least amount of clothing variety amongst the characters, and the rival usually has the most. Starting from Zexal, this trend is reversed: To point, Yugi had around three distinctly different outfits, whilst Kaiba had the Domino high school uniform, a white variant with gold trim, the three variants of Trenchcoat, and a white business suit. In GX it's a boarding school, but Judai only had to change jackets and pants. Manjoume/Chazz wore blue Obelisk coat, a black coat, the Society of Light coat, and in a daydream a fancy white tuxedo. Even Sho/Syrus had more since he's the only character seen wearing all three uniforms. 5D's with Jack and Yusei. The former, even when he was growing up in the slums, wore a hoodie jacket in his youth, which then turned into a duster coat, which then got traded out into the obligatory trenchcoat. All Yusei ever wore was his blue jacket, black shirt with red design, and blue pants (the orange 'bubble' guards were only added when he got his D-wheel). Even his tracksuit was designed after it, and he even wore it to a gala event. In ZEXAL, Yuma is shown wearing more clothing than the previous protagonists. He has his red vest with a white hood and a purple sleeveless shirt with a green "D" symbol a white pants, his school uniform, his three Zexal Transformations, his nightwear outfit, wore a ghastly rocker outfit to school once thanks to Cathy, and even cosplayed "Temtempo the Percussion Djinn" once. ARC-V has Yuya and Reiji invert this dynamic as the former is shown in his pajamas, a clown outfit, and his riding duel outfit besides his school uniform. Reiji only wears his dark-blue sweater, white pants that end just above his ankles and signature scarf, only wearing a hooded sweater once on top of his outfit. VRAINS has Yusaku only having three real-life outfits, his school uniform, a black jacket with jeans, a dark shirt with the CafÃ© Nagi apron, and his Playmaker avatar. Ryoken only has his light blazer, pink shirt, and khakis, and his Revolver avatar. In season 2, every other character except Playmaker changed avatar looks. In SEVENS, Yuga sometimes wears different clothes once an episode, but usually remains in his red jacket, grey shorts, and white shirt with a crown patterned on it, while Luke is generally in his black shirt with a gear on it and brown jeans. Romin has tons of outfits, even though she has a visibly main one.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_2b7d29e1	type	Artifact Title
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_2b7d29e1	comment	Artifact Title: The original manga focused on the protagonists playing many different types of games with each other: that's why "Yu-Gi-Oh" translates as King of Games, as in all games, not just Duel Monsters. Additionally, the main hero was named "Yugi" to further draw back to this title, and the title "King of Duelists" was the title he won for beating Duelist Kingdom; the dub changed this to "King of Games" as another nod to the title. Each subsequent spin-off has further distanced itself from these concepts; GX still has Yugi as a famous duelist and 5D's had Jack as the King of Riding Duels before he lost the title to Yusei. Since 5D's though, the franchise name has little relevance to the franchise itself any more. Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS brought it back in a clever manner; not only is the title "King of Duels" an important part of the series, but the main protagonist is named "Yuga Ohdo".

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_2cde58d9	type	Mons as Characterization
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_2cde58d9	comment	Mons as Characterization: Yugioh is particularly fond of this trope, to the point where it's become the norm throughout the entire card battle anime genre. Some particularly notable examples: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds Yusei uses a deck full of cards that rich people threw away and combines them in strategic ways to achieve victory, reflective of his belief that everything has value. His Signature Mon '"Stardust Dragon's" ability to tribute itself to protect others from destruction by card effects is reflective of him being self-sacrificing to the point of his own detriment. Aporia uses a "Machine Emperor" deck, full of machines which have effects that counter Synchro Monsters. This is reflective of his belief that Synchro Monsters were the cause of humanity's downfall in his group's Bad Future. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Yuma's final ace after he and Astral go their separate ways in the final episode, Future Number 0: King of the Future, Hope, is an Xyz Monster with 0 ATK Points, but which cannot be destroyed in battle, nullifies any damage Yuma sustains from its battles, and its effect causes Yuma to gain control of the monster it battled. This is representative of Yuma's true strength, which lies in his ability to make anyone his friend through dueling, even his most bitter enemies. It even looks like him. Yu Gi Oh ARCV: Shingo Sawatari switches decks rather frequently in Season one, but eventually settles on an "Abyss Actor" deck, which are a group of dark-fiend type monsters themed around the medium of Theatre. This is reflective of his status as the Foil to Yuya and how he seeks to entertain others purely for the praise and admiration he receives as a result. Sora's regular monsters all look like cute and cuddly plush toys, but his Signature Mon Frightfur Bear looks like a Frankenstein version of them with a pair of scissors added to its jaws and another to its joints. Its effect is also displayed as a Cannibalism Superpower via Eating the Enemy. This monster displays how Sora was Evil All Along, but also how much he and the other soldiers suffered at the Academia. Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS: Roa Kirishima uses a Royal Demon's deck, which is an archetype of light-fiend type monsters that often requires using even your ace monsters as sacrificial pawns. This is reflective of his narcissism and abusive behavior born of being showered with too much shallow attention for someone so young and as a result not knowing how to have meaningful relationships, and as he matures out of this behavior he begins to treat his monsters with more respect. The high level monsters are also all based on Heavy Metal Lead Singers, which reflects his status as the lead vocalist of a popular indie band.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_3ac583f4	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: This franchise overall has a very idealistic tone to it. It's just that it takes a lot of redeemed characters and a heavy dose of Earn Your Happy Ending to make it there. The original series has a number of darker moments, especially in the manga, but still relies heavily on the idealistic end, with only truly evil villains not getting redeemed. GX is heavily idealistic in the first half of the show. The second half gets much darker and cynical but still has a heavy dose of idealism. 5D's involves a more dystopian city, corrupt people, and criminals just trying to get what they can, it gives a more cynical setting, though the tone, spirit, and characters still make this series more on the idealistic end of the scale. ZEXAL is idealistic, as the villains are very human and many are redeemed, though it takes time for some to stick. ARC-V slides back and forth on the scale, with a light beginning, very dark middle, and a surprisingly upbeat end. VRAINS is the bleakest and most cynical series in the franchise so far. It adds bleakness and cruelty with Yusaku's backstory being comparable to Seto Kaiba's, but as the series progresses he comes to terms with his trauma and re-learns how to have fun. This makes the series start off cynical but slowly heading more towards the idealistic end. SEVENS is a considerably idealistic series, though it's made clear that the citizens are living in a Crapsaccharine World.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_3b16449	comment	Plot Tumor: Possibly one of the finest examples in fiction. The original manga focused on many types of games at first, and Duel Monsters was only meant to appear in one chapter. Fans kept asking if there were real versions of those cards available and if the game would be revisited, which it did. Without it, the series would have been cancelled very early on. The author realized that focusing on a single game allowed him to have more story focus, and so it became the focus of long story arcs in the manga, became the central focus of the anime, and snowballed until the entire franchise centers around it to the point where non-card games are very rare.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_4599be49	comment	CCG Importance Dissonance: Thanks to Power Creep, many of the cards the heroes rely on to win duels are considered Junk Rare in real-life, while cards that are rare and valued in the real world may not even be featured. However, there are exceptions: Cyber Dragon and his variants, during the time of GX, were a staple card that almost everyone ran three of, and the prices for the Cyber Dragon cards could get into the triple digits. After GX the game simply evolved to the point Cyber Dragon wasn't as useful anymore, but still receives support that it's still viable in tournaments. Yusei's Synchrons. While a few of them are gimmicky, overall it's proven to be a pretty solid archetype in its own right, even in today's Power Creep, with a few Synchrons being staples of many Synchro heavy decks, especially Junk Synchron. Stardust Dragon (and to an extent the other Signer Dragons) were also fairly widely used as Synchro monsters due to their non-specific materials, ease of summoning, and decent effects. Inverted with the Utopia archetype. It didn't dominate the meta during the Xyz era, but the release of many support cards such as the game-breaking Utopia the Lightning and Utopic ZEXAL ensured it's one of the strongest archetypes in recent years, with Utopic ZEXAL even finding itself on the ban list. Completely smashed in ARC-V by Yuya's Performapals. While it got help from its sister archetype, the Performages, Performapals became a prominent and powerful meta deck that the April 2016 ban list had to target to take down a peg. D/Ds in the OCG as well, though the timing of their release in the TCG playing this straight. Archetypes used by the main characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, i.e., Code Talkers, Trickstars, Gouki, Altergeists, Rokkets (called Dragon Link in the TCG), and Salamangreats are meta decks that topped tournaments and still powerful even with the ban list banning or limiting their key cards. For cards, Borrelsword Dragon is one of the most sought after cards since it's a staple of every deck that can make link monsters, and Topologic Gumblar Dragon is still insanely powerful even after its Nerf that it's currently banned. Firewall Dragon, Yusaku's ace monster in VRAINS, which was so good in the real game that it got banned (until it was nerfed with errata), making it the first time a main character's ace got banned in the card game. Accesscode Talker is a replacement for Firewall since it is a powerful card and usable in most decks.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_4af26a14	comment	Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: Let's just say this series uses this trope all the time when it comes to card effects and stop there. This is actually a reversal from the real card game, in which you must allow your opponent to look at your in-play cards if they ask to do so, and you cannot prevent your opponent from looking in your graveyard either should they ask. Cards in your hand, deck, and face down are exceptions to this, however. A number of the villains' gambits count on the hero not knowing how the cards work. This actually turned out to be rather helpful in the dub version, as instead of re-editing each scene involving cards to change the Japanese words into whatever language it's being dubbed in, the editors simply erased everything on the card and have the characters themselves explain what it does. (This was done because US law prohibits a TV show from directly advertising its own merchandise. Since the same cards seen on the show are also sold in real-life stores, they can only be shown in altered form). While it does provoke some Fridge Logic, it does make some of the character's surprises more genuine (since they literally do not know what cards outside of their deck do).

(Franchise) / int_4d54f0e8	comment	Losing Is Worse Than Death: Many series will have at least one rival character, villain, or hero who is so determined to win that losing is equivalent to death. In the first series, Gozaburo Kaiba taught Seto this, and in the manga Kaiba's desire for revenge was so strong he built a theme park specifically to kill Yugi.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The original manga was about games in general and wasn't focused on Duel Monsters at first. That game was the one that took off and led to Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, and the subsequent adaptations and successors being much more focused on Duel Monsters. GX has a lot more tie-ins with the original series than the later entries in the franchise have with any of the previous ones, including appearances by characters such as Yugi, Kaiba, Pegasus, and the Paradox Brothers. The early video games were based on experimental rulesets for the card game that Konami was tinkering with. They wind up playing very differently from the finalized incarnation of the card game released physically in 1999, with some of the games having Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, lacking Effect Monsters, having a hard limit on Spell/Trap Cards, and other wacky rules.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_5300b1de	type	Invincible Hero
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_5300b1de	comment	Invincible Hero: A universal and recurring trope. For each hero you can count on one hand the number of times they actually lose, and if they do it's probably in a minor game with nothing important on the line. On the other hand, this makes for a very effective and surprising twist when they do lose, and a dramatic and plot-important loss happens at least once a series, possibly more. The first protagonist's whole gimmick was that he was the King of Games, meaning that you'll be hard-pressed to see him lose any game let alone Duel Monsters. Yusei played it just as straight; he technically only lost once, and not only was that in a flashback, but he defeated that opponent later. He would have lost to another opponent as well, but the duel ended before he could and he later defeated that opponent too. Starting from ZEXAL, this trope has gradually begun to be phased out, but plays it straight again in ZEXAL II. Like Yusei, Yusaku played this straight in VRAINS as he never lost even once if you don't count his losses as a kid in flashbacks. SEVENS turns this on its head by making Deuteragonist Luke this trope, while main hero Yuga actually loses quite often.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_53027509	type	Long-Runner Tech Marches On
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_53027509	comment	Long-Runner Tech Marches On: Every anime series expands on the technology used to duel and develops it further: The original Duel Monsters has Battle Boxes, glass boxes that encase a table and chairs where small miniature holograms are projected onto the playing cards placed on the table. This eventually advanced into Duel Arenas, play fields where cards are played on a playing surface and large holograms of them appear in the arena, and eventually the Duel Disk, a portal holographic emitter worn on the arm so you can duel using the Solid Vision technology anywhere. The Duel Disk in turn goes through a prototype phase before being refined into the familiar design incorporating a card tray that Kaiba mass-produced for Battle City. GX has progressed to the point Duel Disks are mass-produced and everyone owns one, and the Duel Disks have a much more streamlined and compact design as well. Customized Duel Disk designs exist but are mostly confined to the rich and/or influential, otherworldly beings notwithstanding. 5D's has Momentum/Ener-D technology and the D-Wheel, which allow dueling at high speeds. The Disks incorporate the features to automatically eject cards from the deck for drawing or search effects, and will shuffle the deck when appropriate. Customized Duel Disk designs are commonplace, and some are designed to be compatible with D-Wheels, able to attach and detach from them for Riding Duels or Ground Duels as needed. ZEXAL has Duel Pads which are similar to real-life tablet computers and smartphones, with touchscreen controls, phone systems, and the ability to access the internet, including all that this entails. The touchscreen displays also allow duelists to directly view cards in play including their stats and effects. Duel Gazers are an add-on and allow for Augmented Reality Duels where monsters appear to interact with the environment. ARC-V has their Duel Disks look pretty much exactly like real-life tablet computers, just with a slot in the side for the deck to insert into. These disks have no card trays, and instead project Hard Light surfaces the duelists place cards on. Buttons to control the device seem entirely forsaken in favor of voice commands and/or touchscreen prompts. Solid Vision technology has further evolved to allow duelists to directly interact with the holograms, allowing for Action Duels where the duelists run about fantastic fields interacting with their monsters. VRAINS has the LINK VRAINS virtual reality system for dueling, although regular duel disks are still around and people play the game in real life as well. LINK VRAINS is akin to an MMORPG for dueling. The duel disks are much more compact, some as small as wristbands, and the most advanced ones can produce virtual cards for players to use instead of needing real cards. They also have on-board A.I.s that can help the duelists with exposition and statistics. SEVENS is the first series to take a step back, returning to physical blades. However they're the most compact Duel Disks seen in the series, capable of completely retracting the blades into the body. Similar Duel Disks are used in GO RUSH!!

What the Synchro summoning mechanic is based on, with it requiring a tuner monster and a variable number of non-tuners whose total levels match up with that of the synchro monster you're trying to summon. ARC-V has Yuya, Yuto, Yugo and Yuri all capable of doing this with one another. Fittingly, it debuted in one of Yugo's duels in the Synchro Dimension.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_580f4907	type	Unreliable Canon
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_580f4907	comment	Unreliable Canon: All that is known for sure is that the anime of Duel Monsters, GX, and 5D's, all take place in the same timeline, thanks to the 10th anniversary movie where their protagonists time travel into the past and meet each other. Everything else is very blurry. Confusing things further is that time travel exists and characters have used it to change the future, and it is well established that alternate dimensions are a thing, and either could be used to sort the various parts of the franchise into connected but separate continuities. The original DM manga and anime are very different and have their own continuities. The manga got the spin-off Yu-Gi-Oh! R, which is seemingly non-canon, and then later the film Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions was based on the manga continuity, not the anime, but it has discrepancies with both. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light and Yu-Gi-Oh!: Capsule Monsters are anime spinoffs that are nebulously canon, and the mostly-ignored Toei anime gets acknowledged in the anime of GX. ZEXAL, ARC-V, and VRAINS have Mythology Gag references to the first three spin-offs, but it's otherwise ambiguous if they take place in the same universe. ARC-V has parallel dimensions which are not only based on the past spin-offs GX, 5Ds, and ZEXAL, but alternate versions of characters from those shows appear in it; there is no explanation given for how this is possible or what it means. As far as the years each series takes place goes, some don't specify a year, but Duel Monsters took place in the 90s and GX took place 10 years after Duel Monsters. 5Ds had Domino City destroyed 17 years before that series began, so at the very least it would take place that many years after GX, putting it in the 2020s at the earliest. Then VRAINS is said to take place in 2027, so at least VRAINS certainly can't take place in the same timeline as the original three spin-offs, because that leaves less than a decade between it and 5Ds, and with how drastically technology and society change between the two, that's extremely unlikely. The various manga all take place in an Alternate Universe from the anime that shares the name, but the mangas don't take place in a single timeline themselves. Most of the spin-offs all have their own versions of the Duel Spirit dimension, with GX actually saying there are twelve such dimensions. Then 5Ds and ZEXAL have their own parallel dimensions that may or may not be Duel Spirit dimensions or something else, and ARC-V dealt with one original dimension for humans that was split into four. SEVENS may or may not be set in a fully Alternate Continuity, as the history of Dueling has been depicted as very different...but it's also all come from the lens of the totalitarian Goha Corporation that control Goha City. GO RUSH!! has been hinted to take place in the same continuity as SEVENS, but hasn't been confirmed. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links mobile game officially introduces the notion that some, if not all of these continuities occupy The Multiverse and Duel Links (itself a concept that originated from the manga continuityâ€™s Dark Side of Dimensions movie) connects them. Pegasus is shown to still be alive as he is in the anime continuity, but when Paradox tries to assassinate him during the Bonds Beyond Time event, he comments on how he shouldnâ€™t even be alive at that point because he was Killed Off for Real in the manga by then. Likewise, Yugi and Yami acknowledge in the same event that they are supposed to be the manga versions of the characters who have never met Jaden and Yusei, yet somehow have access to their anime counterpartsâ€™ memories of meeting them in the movie.

The earliest ones gave a power boost to specific types of monsters, later ones have more creative effects like banishing cards or letting you play cards for lower costs than normal. In the manga and anime's first season, before actual Field Spells came into the game, duel arenas already had field terrain depending on the physical location of the arena, and thus placing monsters on favorable terrain and using card effects to modify the terrain was an important strategy.

His deck contains numerous Warrior-type monsters and monsters with a warrior aesthetic, reflecting his past as a street fighter. In the Battle City finals, he duels Yami Marik, the arc's Big Bad. Yami Marik knows Shadow Game magic and wields one of the three Egyptian God cards, the most powerful cards in the Duel Monsters game outside of Exodia. Despite being at a severe disadvantage, Jonouchi holds his own against Marik through cunning, grit and a bit of luck. He even comes close to beating Marik and becomes the first character in the show to scare him. Yugi's ace card is the Dark Magician and his deck contains a number of spell cards and cards revolving around spell cards. Him and Jonouchi have dueled twice, first in the Duelist Kingdom finals and later in the conclusion of the Battle City arc. Nonetheless, they are still friends. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Invoked in Aki Izayoi's duel with Jill deLauncebeaux. Aki has Psychic Powers she has difficulty controlling and is known as "the Black Rose Witch".

This has the odd effect, in the original series, of making some of the non-duelists (or the less experienced duelists) look like they know more about the game than some of the better duelists. It's also not uncommon at all for duelists to explain their own moves and card effects, to both their ally and their enemy. Not because someone asked, but because explaining your action clearly is actually part of the game's rules.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_62ec4b15	comment	Cast of Expies: The series has a tradition of the characters in each subsequent series being Expies of the original Duel Monsters cast, at least in basic set up. However, this is very much a case of Tropes Are Tools, as the spin-offs generally use the Expy templates as launchpads only, and tend to develop their casts in different directions each time or don't follow the template exactly. It's actually rather interesting to start each series fresh, peg the obvious Expies at the start, and then watch Divergent Character Evolution begin to kick in and the series subverts your expectations. In general these templates are: An All-Loving Hero main protagonist who may gave a MacGuffin necklace and/or access to a mysterious set of cards unknown to the general public. He'll probably be a Warrior Therapist and The Chosen One, and believes strongly in The Power of Friendship. A rival who's filthy rich, cool and good-looking, extremely proud, a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and likely a Defrosting Ice King. Expect a Break the Haughty duel early on, a tragic backstory of some kind, and this character to become increasingly plot-relevant if not a Deuteragonist. A character who either helps the main character win duels or needs the main character's help to be able to duel (oftentimes this is due to being a non-corporeal lifeform of some type). Always has some sort of supernatural powers that they use to help the protagonist win duels and is always central to the plot. In fact, the only reason the main character is at the center of the story is because of his connection to this character. This character often ends up dueling the protagonist in the final battle of the series. A child who exists to be the younger sibling or sibling-like figure to a major character. Can be a teenager if the older sibling is at least a few years older than them. Plot relevance, dueling capability, and screen time may vary, but as an individual their primary role in the plot will be to motivate their sibling to do something to protect them, even if it means being evil. A duelist who's a close friend of the main character and the complementary Oni to the main character's Red Oni, Blue Oni (who is which color depends on the main character's personality). Expect this character to quickly lose plot significance, but still take part in several life-or-death duels throughout the series simply by proximity to the main character. Often has a personal history with the main character from before the start of the series, explaining their close friendship. A Genki Girl who provides emotional support for the main character. Likely his Love Interest and will be put in danger at least once to motivate the hero. Often will be used to either ask lots of questions or make commentary on the duels so the children in the audience can keep track of the rules, or cheering for the main character from the sidelines. Dueling ability varies, but if she isn't a prominent and skilled duelist, there will be a secondary female character who is. A Greater-Scope Villain who is responsible for every other bad guy in the series/current arc, only shows himself at the very end (optional for arc villains), has wide-ranging plans for world domination or something similar, and if not an Eldritch Abomination then at least has Lovecraftian Superpowers. He/it will be one of the final duelists to defeat, with any duels coming after his battle being more focused on the personal relationships between the main characters to tie up loose story and character bits before the series ends. A villain who is presented as genuinely sadistic, powerful, and dangerously deceptive. Usually either The Dragon to the Greater-Scope Villain or his/its pawn. This is the person who the audience sees playing the game for most of the arc/series, and if the Greater-Scope Villain is somehow incapable of dueling directly, will take the role of the "final opponent to save the world." Sometimes will pull a Heelâ€“Face Turn against all odds, especially if this villain betrayed him and/or if he took the time to befriend the main character, although expect Redemption Equals Death if so. A cast of quirky friends of the main character with little personality and little Character Development outside a small handful of Character Arc episodes, usually limited to one duel each. If they're not following the main character around to cheer him on, dueling the main character (usually in their introductory episode), or the main character isn't supporting them while they have their personal duel, they're probably not doing anything. Depending on the series some of them may be Put on a Bus so that others of the same type can replace them. Any character who gets Demoted to Extra will probably become one of these.

Expect a Break the Haughty duel early on, a tragic backstory of some kind, and this character to become increasingly plot-relevant if not a Deuteragonist.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_71642c70	comment	Viewers Are Goldfish: Even though you really only need to see one duel to know what Pot Of Greed does, they still go through the trouble of saying "I play the Magic Card Pot Of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards from my deck" almost every time the card is played. The rules of the actual game state that you must speak out loud every single one of your actions so your opponent knows what the hell you're doing â€” although most just say "I play X card" and only explain the effect when asked. Then again, real cards also state their effects on them, which at the very least is more than can be said for the card images used in the dub.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_71bd62b9	comment	Calling Your Attacks: In the anime, pretty much every time a card is played, even if it's a card seen every time the main hero duels, its effect will be explained. This even gets played with sometimes to As You Know, with the opponent lampshading that as professional duelists they know what the cards do, and then explain it themselves. If any game involves Monster Battling characters will do this the traditional way when ordering monsters to attack. Some of the attack names contain Gratuitous English. The card game even did some Defictionalization with this, featuring a number of cards like Burst Stream of Destruction, Inferno Fire Blast, and Dark Magic Attack that are all based on attack names from the anime. They feature powerful effects, but they can only be played if you control that Monster and most of them require you to forego your attack with them. They're pretty much designed so you can play it and shout "BURST STREAM OF DESTRUCTION!"

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_71ee90a7	comment	Token Super: The Protagonist of almost every series, will be the sole member of their team to possess the particular unusual power of the series. (The only exception is Yusei Fudo in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, where his whole team shares his power). In Yu-Gi-Oh! Yugi Muto holds one of the Millennium Items, in his case the Millennium Puzzle. The Millennium Puzzle enables him to access his Superpowered Alter Ego, Yami Yugi, who is actually the spirit of an Egyptian Pharaoh that resides in Yugi. In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Jaden Yuki is later accompanied by Yubel, formerly a Arc Villain before having a Heelâ€“Face Turn when Jaden fuses with her. From there on in, Jaden can harness Yubel's power as a Super Mode which manifests an Eye Colour Change. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Yuma Tsukumo and his extra-dimensional companion Astral can undergo fusion known as ZEXAL to create a Golden Super Mode for Yuma. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Yuya Sakaki and his dimensional counterparts have the ability to "Awaken", where they become more malicious and powerful. It's revealed this is actually Zarc's will attempting to take over his reincarnations. In Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Yusaku is an outlier. He does have an Ignis that gives him the extra deck monsters he needs via "Storm Access" to win speed duels. Other than that, he's the only one who's not a Token Super or Chosen One as there are others who have the "Storm Access" skill too and he relies on his own skills to win. While he is the only Duelist to possess a Link Sense that allows him to sense what's happening in the network, it's not used much.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_7b20b8d2	comment	Alternative Foreign Theme Song: As usual for 4Kids, the anime universally has different openings. The original's instrumental theme is very well known, going through one version for Season 1, then Seasons 2 and 3 used a different theme cut from later on in the full-length version theme and then Season 4 and 5 went back to the season 1 version. GX gives us probably the most memetic theme tune in the franchise, Get Your Game On!, a rock-ish song about "chilling out in the schoolyard" and so on. 5Ds got its theme tune, Hyperdrive, from a vote. ZEXAL is the only entry to have two theme songs: the first one is Take a Chance which rather neatly summarizes Yuma and his "kattobingu" attitude and it gets replaced by Halfway To Forever. Considering the Barians are actually a far greater threat, they indeed seem like "forever" at first. ARC-V has Can You Feel the Power?, a rather upbeat Theme Tune Rap that is very cheerful, just like Yuya at first. VRAINS goes back to being instrumental only, giving us a rather bleak theme featuring a combination of electronica, orchestra and Ominous Latin Chanting that fits the Cyberpunk thematic like a glove, possibly even more than the three Japanese themes. SEVENS is also instrumental, but this time much more light-hearted fitting the also light-hearted theming of the series.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_7d0316d2	comment	Godlike Gamer: Yugi Muto, or rather his Superpowered Evil Side Dark Yugi, is possibly the Trope Codifier for the anime community. Yugi is dubbed the "King of Games" and has a reputation for being an expert in all forms of games. It's played far more straight in the manga continuity and the first anime series where he would play in all types of games from board games to card games. However, all subsequent anime-only series have him only focusing on the Duel Monsters card game. Though he still qualifies for this, where to date he has only lost twice, with one of them due to timeout and the other time being against himself. His amazing success combines both exceptional strategic thinking along with luck manipulation. Seto Kaiba is a Child Prodigy and already a genius at everything. So it's no surprise that when he invested his talents into gaming he became one of the greatest duelists in history, second only to Yugi. The two of them end up as rivals and Worthy Opponents. A battle between him and Yugi will be long and drawn out and can go either way as the two duelists run rings around each other.

In ARC-V Action Duels let players interact with their monsters and suffer real damage from attacks, and duelists can seal their defeated opponents in cards. Duel Monsters had these same elements, but there they were done with magic, while in ARC-V it's technology. VRAINS is entirely science-focused.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_867c3744	comment	New Rules as the Plot Demands: While the above trope is prolific, the rules of the card game are set in stone. New game mechanics like Synchro Monsters and Tuners are usually just introduced to keep the game interesting and new, and never works just as a means to let the heroes win. This was played straighter in the manga and the anime's Duelist Kingdom arcs, using rules closer to a tabletop RPG than a card game. Later arcs also had occasions of this, though not as frequent. While the normal card game's rules are static, there's never been any clear definition for how 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 duels work, and as such they vary as needed. Sometimes the lone duelist gets one turn in-between each of the team's turns, other times they get more Life Points, and in one instance, they got to draw a larger opening hand. Other times though, they get no advantage at all. Sometimes the handicapped player announces what handicap they will be receiving, other times everyone just silently agrees on the rules without discussing them openly. Tag team duels also have some flexible rules at play regarding how teammates can interact with each other's cards, and sometimes teammates share a single Life Point total, or keep their own separate totals.

Yusei, who was raised in the slums and had to make a deck out of what cards he could scrounge, relies on combos of weak cards, while Jack, who believes in absolute power and cares for nothing but himself and his glory, relies on powerful monsters to smash through an opponent's defenses and overwhelm them. ARC-V even has a few scenes where some duelists physically beat the crap out of their enemies, and their fighting style reflects their dueling style. Gongenzaka punches head-on and relies upon strength, while Kurosaki avoids taking direct hits and aims for the neck and weak spots of his opponents to OTK them.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

(This was done because US law prohibits a TV show from directly advertising its own merchandise. Since the same cards seen on the show are also sold in real-life stores, they can only be shown in altered form). While it does provoke some Fridge Logic, it does make some of the character's surprises more genuine (since they literally do not know what cards outside of their deck do).

Later entries in the franchise play it straight as the focus shifted to hyping new cards, archetypes, and mechanics. Played within that the real-life card game has plenty of cards you'll never see in the anime or manga. Starting with 5D's, each anime series hypes up a new summoning mechanic for the card game. ARC-V, while introducing Pendulum Summoning, does a decent job of giving all the summoning mechanics equal spotlight. VRAINS introduces new rules entirely for the game, which are showcased in the anime.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_a6c69bd	comment	The series do what they can in terms of justifying it; most of the MacGuffin collections can only change hands in a duel and so forth. Then there was that time one of the "Player Killers" in the Duelist Kingdom arc decided to protest his defeat by Yugi... using a pair of flamethrowers. It didn't work. Yami's Mind Crush on the other hand worked just fine. This is how Saiou breaks the tradition. He pretends to be playing along with this, and then while the hero is bound in the fight, he sets off The Plan. Because all he needs to do is press a button, he can do it during the match. Judai/Jaden and his duel spirits can't leave the match. Of course, he started to break it when Judai first challenged him to the duel and Saiou's reaction was, paraphrased, "No. I've got what I need. I don't need to duel you." The only reason he did duel Judai was that Neos manifested to keep Saiou from getting the keys to the SORA satellite. THEN he used the duel in order to weaken Neos, which allowed him to steal the satellite keys and give them to his nearest brainwashed flunky, who could and did run off to get the satellite going while Judai was tied up in the duel. Saiou (or more precisely, the Light of Ruin/Destruction) didn't count on Kenzan/Hassleberry and Mizuchi/Serena, Saiou's own sister, teaming up to put a halt to things.

Not to mention the City in the Synchro Dimension is a socio-economic nightmare where the equivalent of their police force runs the city as a Social Darwinism dystopia that uses slave labor to maintain itself, and no outside forces care to do anything about it, if such groups even exist.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_ad4a45be	comment	VRAINS does things a bit differently. The final duel of the series is between Playmaker vs Ai, his companion. However the duel itself is a Final Boss duel as Ai is the antagonist of the final arc. However this also has a Xanatos Gambit involved, though not a pretty one. The stakes of the duel are as follows; if Playmaker wins, then he dies along with his plans, if Ai wins, then he copies his data onto all of his copies granting all of them free will, but the strain of it all means that Ai will die anyway. He simply wanted Playmaker to duel him to choose how he would go out, even offering Playmaker to convert his conciousness into data to be with him. In the end Playmaker wins and Yusaku spends his time seeing if he can get Ai back. There is anoter duel in VRAINS that acts similar to this but plays out before Playmaker vs Ai, and that's Soulburner vs Varis. Some fans often consider this duel to be the true Ceremonial Duel due to the much more personal grudge that Soulburner has against Varis. Soulburner wins allowing him to finally move on from the Lost Incident.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_b032e4ed	comment	Ms. Fanservice: Each series has at least one female protagonist. While dueling skill varies, shapely bodies and outfits to show them off are a consistent. Then there's the Dark Magician Girl, the living incarnation of this trope for the franchise. Numerous other female Duel Monsters are quite nice to look at too. The original series has Tea/Anzu and Mai portraying this trope. Alexis/Asuka in GX fits this trope with her short skirt, shapely body, large and curvy breasts, and an even kind of sexy-sounding voice. Not that Tea's voice isn't sexy. Aki Izayoi from 5D's is easily the sexiest major female protagonist. While she herself was never flirtatious or seductive, her large bust, exposed cleavage, short skirt, and leggings with straps were all censored or altered in the dub. Emma Bessho/Ghost Gal in VRAINS is considerably curvy and wears tight-fitting clothing that varies between her Ghost Gal avatars and her motorcycle leathers she generally wears IRL. Romin Kirishima in SEVENS is eleven, so this trope isn't really in play, but she does have a swimsuit scene and is constantly fawned over by Yuga's modified Drone Kaizo. Her idol Princess G, who has been seen in motorcycle leathers and revealing punk-rock clothes, plays this straight.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_b2919411	comment	Duels Decide Everything: Even if characters can use other means to decide something, including physical force, it generally comes down to games. This results in a very amusing exchange in GX when Judai challenges Saiou to a duel, but Saiou has been savvy enough to find out how to execute his plan without having to duel him, and Judai is at a loss for what to do. He ends up dueling Judai anyway, but only because circumstances he didn't expect force him to. Taken to its Logical Extreme in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, though it's a bit more justified in that the Hard Light setup of most duels makes a pretty awesome tool to wage war with or seriously harm others, and it's later revealed that conventional weaponry can't affect a Solid Vision construct. Whenever hard light isn't involved, the characters tend to resort to diplomacy or physical violence.

In addition to duelists pulling new cards from nowhere, often cards will demonstrate new effects from nowhere with the flimsy Hand Wave that it always had that effect and the duelist just didn't use it until now. In a meta sense, because the writers need to keep their hands full of cards so the duelists can play, there are many cards created just for the purpose of letting duelists draw more cards. This is most obvious with "Card of Sanctity", which has all players draw until they have six cards in their hands, as usually when it's used the character had one, two, or no cards left.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: The Toei anime and second-series anime compared to the manga. 5D's is the first notable aversion, with quite a bit of gratuitous violence thrown about that wasn't too far below the manga. ARC-V has become the other notable aversion. Despite lacking the manga's gore, the themes it explores are just are dark as the original manga at times, though this is dialed back considerably for the third season. VRAINS zig-zags this, with Yusaku's backstory being comparable to Seto Kaiba's, but as the series progresses he comes to terms with his trauma and re-learns how to have fun. SEVENS is easily the lightest series yet, though some dark elements crept in with Season 2.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_d58d2b7e	comment	Post-Final Boss: Often referred to by fans as the Ceremonial Duel based on the final duel between Yugi and Atem, these are often lower stakes duels between the heroes as a means to capstone their character development. All of them also follow the duel against the main antagonist as a means for one last hurrah for the series and is usually considered one of the best duels in that series. Duel Monsters as the aforementioned Ceremonial Duel between Yugi and Atem. For Yugi this is a means to finally show that he can strike out on his own without Atem and for Atem, it's to see if he is ready to move onto the afterlife. Yugi wins showing that both of them are ready to move on. Dark Side of Dimensions has a sort of cliffhanger ending as after Yugi and Kaiba defeat Diva with the help of Atem, Kaiba is able to perfect a device that allows him to challenge Atem in the afterlife. As Kaiba is considered the main character of Dark Side of Dimensions, the duel is meant to give closure on Kaiba's rivalry with Atem. GX is the only duel that involves characters of different seasons as Jaden takes on Yugi at his prime with both Yami Yugi by his side as well as the Egyptian Gods. The duel itself is supposed to be a means to help Jaden regain his love of dueling after the series made him much more cynical, but through the help of his idol, allows him to become the duelest he used to be once more. The duel ends prematurely as the final scene of the duel before it cuts out is Neos charging in against Slifer the Sky Dragon. 5D's sees friendly rivals Yusei and Jack face off as a means to see where the future of their team lies. While Team 5D's doesn't want to leave Neo Domino city, Jack is the only one adament on his future to become a true King of Riding Duels. Yusei decides to duel him not only to find his own future, but to inspire Jack, Aki, Lua, and Luca on their futures. Yusei defeats Jack not with his dragon, but with Junk Warrior, a monster who gains power through his fellow monsters and declares that he will remain in Neo Domino city so that they can come back when they have fulfilled their dreams. ZEXAL, similar to Duel Monsters, ends with spiritual partners Yuma and Astral as Astral wants Yuma to regain his passion for dueling again after the tragedy of the Barian War ends with many of his friends deceased including his best friends and rivals, Kaito and Shark/Nasch, Yuma vs Shark could have been on this list for a similar reason if it wasn't for the Astral and Barian World conflict. The duel ends with Yuma's win and the world restored to revive every casualty, reunited to help Astral when he calls for help from Yuma once more. Arc-V takes a page from 5D's as the duel is between Yuya and his rival/leader Reiji. While the final duels are meant to ensure that Zarc can no longer pose a threat, this is also a duel to will Yuzu and her counterparts back into existance and to allow Yuya to gain back his passion as a dueltainer, sense a pattern here? Yuya defeats Reiji, whose duel not only removed any last trace of Zarc within Yuya, but was the last push to will Yuzu back into existance. VRAINS does things a bit differently. The final duel of the series is between Playmaker vs Ai, his companion. However the duel itself is a Final Boss duel as Ai is the antagonist of the final arc. However this also has a Xanatos Gambit involved, though not a pretty one. The stakes of the duel are as follows; if Playmaker wins, then he dies along with his plans, if Ai wins, then he copies his data onto all of his copies granting all of them free will, but the strain of it all means that Ai will die anyway. He simply wanted Playmaker to duel him to choose how he would go out, even offering Playmaker to convert his conciousness into data to be with him. In the end Playmaker wins and Yusaku spends his time seeing if he can get Ai back. There is anoter duel in VRAINS that acts similar to this but plays out before Playmaker vs Ai, and that's Soulburner vs Varis. Some fans often consider this duel to be the true Ceremonial Duel due to the much more personal grudge that Soulburner has against Varis. Soulburner wins allowing him to finally move on from the Lost Incident. SEVENS plays it out strangely. In between the final duel between Yuga and Otes where they are in space dueling with giant robots, just roll with it, Otes is about to claim victory when his robot is taken out of range, thus suspending the duel. Yuga knows the robot him and his friends are in cannot last much longer so sends his friends out of the robot to finish the job by himself. Luke is not having this so Yuga and Luke have a Rush Duel so that Luke can earn the right to stand with Yuga to finish the Duel. The duel ends with Yuga defeating Luke, this was also his first win against Luke, by converting his ID card into Sevens Road Magician and ejects Luke from the robot. Yuga then goes on to finish the duel against Otes defeating him, but as a result, is thrown into space for two years.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_da0eeab5	comment	Breakout Character: Pegasus was a major character in the second series anime and manga. In the manga, he died after Duelist Kingdom, but in the anime, he came back for season 4, got to be the Big Bad of a video game, made a few cameos in GX, and got a Mythology Gag about him in 5D's. Seto Kaiba started as a minor villain in the manga and became much more prominent later on. He then became a main protagonist of the second-series anime and the main protagonist of Darkside of Dimensions, and most video games revolving around the first series have him in a significant role. Outside of Dark Magician and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the trademark monsters of Yugi and Kaiba, the Dark Magician Girl is easily the most recognizable card of the franchise. She's the iconic Ms. Fanservice with a ton of fanart and doujinshi, and got to be playable in a few video games.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

The original anime had Yugi's trademark hairstyle and a few others while GX generally had more toned-down hairstyles by comparison. 5Ds has an equal balance of crazy and reasonable, while ZEXAL has hair styles that are pretty crazy even by the franchise's usual standard. ARC-V takes the middle ground. The styles are generally more toned down compared to ZEXAL, but multi-color hair is all over the place. VRAINS seems to be shaping up to have largely normal styles, but compensating by giving this to the LINK VRAINS Avatars. SEVENS generally has normal hairstyles, but odd colours, while GO RUSH!! cranks the craziness up a bit again, though some of the characters have the excuse of being aliens.

The most notable example of this is the monster called "Barrel Dragon", which could be described as resembling several guns welded together in Japan. An exception is the "Ancient Gear Soldier" in GX, which uses a submachine gun-arm - it can be argued this was just because editing it would have looked ridiculous. Several guns are left intact, however, but are slightly redesigned to look less like real guns. The trap card "Barrel Behind the Door" features an old fashioned flintlock, in the Japanese version, that was covered in gold ornaments for the international release.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_e851b5	comment	This is how Saiou breaks the tradition. He pretends to be playing along with this, and then while the hero is bound in the fight, he sets off The Plan. Because all he needs to do is press a button, he can do it during the match. Judai/Jaden and his duel spirits can't leave the match. Of course, he started to break it when Judai first challenged him to the duel and Saiou's reaction was, paraphrased, "No. I've got what I need. I don't need to duel you." The only reason he did duel Judai was that Neos manifested to keep Saiou from getting the keys to the SORA satellite. THEN he used the duel in order to weaken Neos, which allowed him to steal the satellite keys and give them to his nearest brainwashed flunky, who could and did run off to get the satellite going while Judai was tied up in the duel. Saiou (or more precisely, the Light of Ruin/Destruction) didn't count on Kenzan/Hassleberry and Mizuchi/Serena, Saiou's own sister, teaming up to put a halt to things.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Very often in the real card game, exact wording on cards determines a lot — for one example of countless, a card that says "discard this card to the Graveyard" instead of just "discard this card" can't be used if some card is in play that would prevent it from being sent to the Graveyard when discarded. This pops up in the manga and anime too, with characters finding loopholes in card effects their opponents didn't expect and using it to turn the tide of the duel. For example, there's Judai using Elemental Hero Necroshade's effect in spite of Necrovalley's effect (Necrovalley stops effects that target cards in the Graveyard from use), because Necrovalley doesn't stop effects coming out of the Graveyard.

Sora ended up getting sent to the infirmary after his duel with Kurosaki, and the Fusion Dimension uses it to wage war with the other dimensions. Despite this, there's no age limit for children to compete in Action Duels, though there at least seems to be some safety precautions with extremely young Duelist, such as making so they can only duel in extremely well-padded areas.

This gets especially obvious when the shot is drawn so that the attack is in view, yet it's won't attack until all explanation is said and done and the attack name is screamed out. This ends up stretching duels of any importance to three or four episodes because every single turn involves at least one player shouting "Not so fast!" and revealing an unexpected countermeasure. It seems that skill in this game is dependent on the fact that no player, however skilled, has any idea how any of the cards work except for their own. The phrase "You see, my card has another special ability..." is uttered at least twice in nearly every episode. With almost equal frequency, a character will place the duel on hold in order to tell their entire life story to their opponent. Oddly, this is averted in most backup or filler duels where not only do the duels take place at a rather fast pace, but they also end up actually being marginally more epic due to the pacing of the duel, usually limiting the amount of explanations needed. An example is the duel where Rebecca is pit against Vivian Wong. She uses a classic hurt-and-heal strategy that maintained a very consistent beat that puts the other duels in the series to shame. And she did it all in one episode.

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Any time there's a duel when the enemy is using a deck depletion strategy to win by deck-out, it almost inevitably comes down to the hero winning on their last turn after drawing the last card in their deck. If you trace the duel back to the first turn and track the cards played, usually the math does add up to them starting with 40 cards and having one left by the time the last turn comes.
