Yu-Gi-Oh: Hydeverse

Yu-Gi-Oh: Hydeverse is a series of videos produced using the AI voice tool ElevenLabs. What started off as a random fooling around with the AI voice soon develops into its own original crossover story. Most of its humor stems from lampshading and meta humor involving the trading card game such as using terms like "Bricking." The main plot mostly focuses around Yugi Muto/Pharaoh Atem, Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba doing a tier-list video that slowly gets them dragged into many adventures with characters from across the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. The video series can be found here.


 * The Ace: Surprisingly, Mokuba is this when it came to playing Minecraft.
 * Berserk Button: There are quite a few shown throughout this video series:
 * One notable example is when Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler teamed up to duel Aster Phoenix and Zane Truesdale at Six Flags. Aster used his Destiny Hero Plasma to absorb Seto's Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Suffice to say, that got a strong reaction from him.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler and Zane Trusedale are this towards their younger siblings respectively.
 * Butt Monkey: Joey Wheeler, despite being Born Lucky, is still the brunt of many of Seto's remarks.
 * Call Back: There are many of these scattered throughout the show referencing past events from the characters' multiple adventures.
 * The Cameo: Marik Ishtar made a brief appearance and Weevil Underwood got mentioned when his Online Alias was used when the Duel Monsters trio are at Six Flags. Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale and Yubel make an appearance at Duel Academy.
 * Character Development: There are notable moments where a character's attitude has changed as the story progresses:
 * A most notable example is Seto's relationship with Joey. Prior to Six Flags, the two's relationship was on a knife's edge as the two has an intense, almost hostile, rivalry just like in canon. After Six Flags however, while the two still bicker with each other, their rivalry has calmed down alot.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: It happened off screen where two park officials were sent to duel Atem and Jaden for Atem clearing out the prize stores at the fair.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Alexis Rhodes mentions that workers involved in packaging could lose their job over something as small as a packaging error when discussing about Eggwiches.
 * Early Installment Weirdness: The first few videos use genuine curse words. In later episodes this is mostly absent or replaced with less harsh variants.
 * Expy: Acknowledged and even discussed in-universe as there will be many expies meeting each other across the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe.
 * Flat Earth Atheist: Seto Kaiba will always try to find a scientific/grounded explanation to the various magical occurrences that happens around him, just like in canon.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Seto Kaiba. Just like his canon counterpart, he is arrogant and will look down on lesser duelists. Despite this, his care for Mokuba and him hanging out with Joey and Yugi shows his softer side.
 * Knight Templar Big Brother: Seto Kaiba is this to Mokuba Kaiba. When attempted to scam Mokuba online. Seto not only tracked  down but also flew to his location to confront him.
 * This did get deconstructed slightly, as Mokuba lost a few subscribers when Seto yelled at them and they (Mokuba's subscribers) took it personally when Mokuba is playing Minecraft.
 * Lampshade Hanging/Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Most of the humor stems from moments like these: One example is when Joey Wheeler, Mai Valentine and Mokuba Kaiba were playing Monopoly and Joey notes on how they immediately threw stakes in their Monopoly game rather than playing it normally. Mai just answers that they live in a society of Adrenaline Junkies.
 * Mythology Gag: Games such as Monopoly reference Toei's Run of Yu-Gi-Oh! back when it involved a variety of different games.
 * Nice Guy: Jaden Yuki is as chill as ever. Just like his canon counterpart.
 * Odd Friendship: Joey Wheeler and Chazz Princeton seem to get along well despite their clashing personalities.
 * Oh Crap: Mai's reaction upon realizing that Mokuba plays Monopoly with his brother.
 * Pet the Dog: Seto Kaiba gave Joey Wheeler a compliment (in his own way) after their tag duel at Six Flags.
 * Running Gag: One recurring joke revolves around Pharaoh Atem's strategy of stealing the opponent's monster and using it against them.
 * Serious Business: It turns out that it's not just the card game of Duel Monsters is taken seriously:
 * Something as simple as a game of Rock,Paper Scissors is taken very seriously to the point where.
 * This also extends to the Golden Eggwich too as someone could lose their job if there was a packaging error.
 * Spiritual Successor/Spiritual Sequel: The entire web series could be a more grounded and slightly more serious take on Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series and a sequel to
 * Take That: There are a few instances where there are moments such as this:
 * There are many occasions where characters take jabs at the modern day video game industry.
 * During a tournament, two over the top villainous duelists try to outwit each other with overpowered decks and ridiculous powers.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Surprisingly, Seto Kaiba has a fondness for Cheez Waffies. When he found out it got discontinued he is willing to duel the CEO of the Cheez Waffies company for the rights of the brand.
 * Eggwiches are a favorite among the students at Duel Academy.
 * Trademark Favorite Drink: Joey seems to have an affinity for Pepsi.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: The Duel Monster trio's relationship in a nutshell. Joey, Atem and Seto will hurl insults at each others' favorite cards and beliefs, yet it doesn't stop them from hanging out to make tier list videos and having casual talk with one another.
