Personality Powers: Difference between revisions

* Several ace cards from [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] have effects and/or traits that are seemingly tied to that of their masters.

** For example: [[Heroic Sacrifice|Stardust Dragon]] sacrifices itself to protect the controller's field from destroyed by a card effect, similar to how [[Big Damn Heroes|Yusei]] often willingly help others in need. Or Blue-Eyes White Dragon having a [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|brute power]] strategy mirroring [[Jerkass|Kaiba's]] brutal outside.
