Yu-Gi-Oh!/Drinking Game

Drinking game for Yu-Gi-Oh:

For all series in the franchise:
 * Someone starts to become redundant while explaining something about a card's effect/the plot (Dub only), take a sip.
 * Take a drink whenever someone takes a children's card game Duel Monsters too seriously.
 * If you use this rule, for the love of god don't watch 5D's, you'll be dead before the end of the first episode.
 * Take a sip every time the plot stops so that the power of the card can be explained.
 * Take a sip every time someone says the word "card". Do this only if someone's nearby to call 911 for you.
 * What about this: Every time someone says the word "destiny". Or any time the Shadow Realm is mentioned.
 * Take a sip every time someone says OH! NO! But only if you're not particularly fond of your liver.
 * Take a sip every time someone mentions friendship. Chug if it's someone other than Anzu/Tea.
 * Take a shot every time someone mentions the heart of the cards. Two if it's not Yugi/Yami.
 * Take a shot everytime someone in the manga says they will never forgive someone. Two if its someone other than Yami Yugi. Three if its the second time the character has said it to the same person. Finish your drink when they end up forgiving that person anyway.
 * Take a glass for every time a main character summons their signature monster during a duel.
 * Take two glasses for every duel where a main character's signature monster DOESN'T play a role.
 * Chug if a main character's signature monster does get used, but it's by somebody else.
 * Take a shot for every Never Say Die moment in the English version of any of the Yu-Gi-Oh shows. (WARNING: Doing this while watching the original series' Battle City arc or the 5Ds Dark Signer arc will result in exploding livers.)
 * Drink half a bottle any time card games being Serious Business gets subverted. The early adventures in the manga do not count. (Don't worry; since these moments are so few and far apart, your liver won't explode. We hope.)
 * Take a drink every time someone is going to bet everything 'on this one card!' right before drawing it.
 * Take a drink when a protagonist wins a duel with less than 500 Life Points.
 * Take two when they win with exactly 100 Life Points.
 * Take three when they win with LESS than 100 Life Points left. Warning: Do not do this during GX, Jaden has an added prosperity for winning with 50 life points than the other main characters.
 * Take a sip whenever someone loses there soul warning do not do this for 5Ds unless you have at least five people who will all donate their livers

For Yu-Gi-Oh viewers:
 * Take a sip each time someone doesn't notice that Yugi is taller than before.
 * Take a drink any time when Mokuba gets Kidnapped.
 * Down it if he's wearing girls' clothes
 * Take a drink any time that Marik says/thinks "Those fools" and proceeds to repeat his plan once again.
 * Once Yami Marik makes his apperance, take a shot each time he laughs. Also, say goodbye to your liver.
 * You can also do the same with Yami Bakura.
 * Take a drink every time they mention getting a burger in the early manga!
 * Take half a glass any time Kaiba does an Evil Laugh. (Any more than that will rupture your liver or your bladder.)
 * Take a shot every time Pegasus calls a character "(name)-boy" or anything similar.
 * Dub-only, take a shot whenever Joey's confidence or Kaiba's ego gets in the way of their judgment.
 * Take a shot every time Yami says "The fate of the world depends on it"

For Yu-Gi-Oh GX viewers:
 * Take a mouthful every time Jaden Yuki says "Get your game on!"
 * Take a whole glass if someone else says it.
 * Take two shots every time, during a duel, Jaden says "I'm gonna throw down a face-down" or any variant thereof.
 * Take a glass anytime Syrus Truesdale says something that causes Breaking the Fourth Wall.
 * Aww, but that would defeat the purpose!
 * Here are some more phrases you could play the drinking game with while watching the show.

For Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds viewers:
 * Take a shot every time that someone says the word "kizuna" (bonds). Two if it's not Yusei.
 * Alternatively, in the later arcs, take a shot whenever anyone says the word "kibou" (hope).
 * Or take a shot every time someone says "zetsubou", despair.
 * Take a drink every time Aporia says 'zetsubou' (despair)
 * Take a drink and run into the nearest wall every time someone's motorcycle crashes because of a duel. Avoiding the WRGP arc is advised.
 * Watch the dubbed version of Yusei and Kiryu/Kalin's duel in episodes 33-35, then take a drink for each time Kalin says something about "sending [Yusei] to the Netherworld!" or the "power of the shadows". Better line up a liver transplant in advance.

For Yu-Gi-Oh Ze Xal viewers:
 * Take a shot every time Yuma says "kattobingu".
 * Take two shots if someone else says it, or a variant on it "such as Cathy's "Cattobingu".
 * Take a shot whenever Yuma wins a duel with Aspiring Emperor Hope. Hope you enjoyed your liver while you could.
 * Also take a shot if Yuma wins with Aspiring Emperor Hope Ray.
 * Down an entire bottle of liquor if he wins with anything else. By now, there's no point trying to salvage your liver.
 * Take a shot whenever IV brings up Fan Service.
 * In episodes 47 through 49, take a sip every time III does something to cross the Moral Event Horizon even further.
 * Take a shot whenever Yuma duels against an opponent who DOESN'T have a numbers card. Take two if Astral and/or Yuma thinks that do, but they don't.
 * Take a shot whenever Shark tells Yuma not to get involved with him anymore.

For Card Game aficionados:
 * Take a shot if the player is playing against a cookie-cutter deck.
 * Take three shots if there's a Forbidden Card.
 * Take two shots if there's a Limited Card.
 * Take a shot if there's a Semi-Limited Card.
 * Take a shot whenever someone loses or gains Life Points.
 * Liver-poisoning Edition: Take a shot whenever someone does a Special Summon. Trust us, with the card's current metagame, be prepared to take a lot of shots.
 * Take one shot per monster tributed, fused, synched, or xyzed.
