Line 34:
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''
** Jack Atlas was the main antagonist in the first season, once best friend and then arch rival of the protagonist, object of all his thoughts, a formidable opponent. Long story short: he was pretty badass. Neither did their conflict ever get solved, nor did he stay this important to the plot for long. He was taken off the beaten track via his new love interest Carly Nagisa, who occupied his sole attention throughout the whole second season. And in the third season, his only purpose seems to be used as a [[Plucky Comic Relief]] every now and then, together with and practically glued to the side of the main characters ''other'' BFF Crow, if he appears at all, holding no special importance to the plot whatsoever anymore, not to mention his former badassness.
** Aki in the first season was a formidable, destructive, and ominous [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] [[Dark Magical Girl]], who established herself as one of the strongest females in the series, and a prominent rival for Yusei. Aki [[Badass Decay|by the third season]] is more or less a [[Living Prop]] who, every ten or so episodes, gets on a bike to look nice in leather and, once in a blue moon, [[Jobber|beat]] or [[The Worf Effect|lose]] to a minor character.
** Depending on how you look at it, most of the cast except Yusei could fall under this trope in the 3rd season.
* There's a character in ''[[Jubei-chan]]'' who not only gets this treatment in J2 but lampshades it. Everybody from ''[[Jubei-chan]]'' get this except the main character's father.
