{{quote| ''"There's a bond between my brother and me. Even when the world crashes down on you, you continue fighting."''}}
--May, providing the [[Title Drop]] for the story.
 
Line 27:
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: In Ancient Egypt, you can. {{spoiler|Hara and Moka--who would eventually become reincarnated as May and Mokuba respectively--got killed by the SAME person, not knowing what was going on.}}
* [[Armor-Piercing Question]]: Subverted. May asks a question to the Swordsmen as to why they keep following Dartz's words. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, the Orichalcos takes control before May finishes her speech so they never hear the question.}}
{{quote| May: "Then what's your (Raphael, Valon and Alister) decision? Let's just say Dartz gets the Pharaoh's soul AND {{spoiler|The Winged Dragon of Ra}}, and summons Leviathan. Let's say that the world does become paradise and that there is peace in the world. What is it going to change? Raphael's family still forgets about him, Alister's brother won't return anytime soon, and Valon is branded as a criminal! All of you guys need to wake up! Dartz is using you for his own schemes! He doesn't care about you at all; all he sees are potential souls that are going to be fed to the Great Leviathan!"}}
** And we also cannot forget Mokuba's speech. {{spoiler|He's speaking this to a man who's monster will obliterate him and take his lifepoints away. He's going out with a bang and smiling at it.}}
{{quote| Mokuba: {{spoiler|(to Alister) Master Dartz chose you, but do you choose?! Do you really want to use violence to end violence? You are who you choose to be Alister; you don't have to be someone who uses missiles and bombs to bring out your vengeance.}}}}
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: After Raphael states his perverted oath to bring May back to him, she does this. This is AFTER the hell of Wrath of a Goddess and it's capped off with her vow to stop him.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: {{spoiler|The Orichalcos shard is May's artifact, as it created her darker half, Shadow}}.
Line 56:
* [[Body Motifs]]: Whenever something's wrong with May, the character will always hold onto her wrist. Raphael grabbed onto it {{spoiler|when he kidnapped her}} and Kaiba does it {{spoiler|to help heal the wounds on her arms}}. May herself grasps them in worry, [[Lampshade Hanging|somewhat knowing that things turn out bad when they're grabbed.]]
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Max delivers one to {{spoiler|Bandit Keith after landing the final blow.}}
{{quote| Max: It's curtain call for you, {{spoiler|Bandit Keith.}} I win.}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Anyone who works for the Orichalcos is essentially this.
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: May is able to pick up the game of Duel Monsters well, and her [[Indy Ploy|improvised run]] in chapter 18 shows how far she's come.
Line 63:
* [[Brother-Sister Team]]: May and Max. This is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] with the Chapter 6 title, "Brother and Sister Unite!"
* [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling the CEO Out]]: In the anime, Kaiba slams the phone after hearing Yami lose his duel. In the story, {{spoiler|May remarks that Kaiba isn't doing anything and catches his insult in six words.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|May: (to Kaiba) Yami's not the disgrace, you are!}} }}
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Raphael is unable to convince his fellow Swordsmen that {{spoiler|May is this supposed savior he met on an island called, "Guardian of the Sea." It gets worse when May knows who he means--her ancestor--but Raphael is too stubborn to believe it.}}
* [[Catch a Falling Star]]: May's Altaria saves her from a nasty death {{spoiler|after an explosion knocks her off the Paradius building}}.
Line 186:
** First off, the Swordsmen deciding that {{spoiler|killing a little girl is a good idea, definitely bring out the best in them. Then let's take them out one by one. Raphael stalks a girl who's at least 8-10 years younger than him, Alister doesn't mind using missiles, bombs and lasers--from a single Duel Monster card--to destroy a little boy, and Valon has no qualms in breaking a girl's ribs. Yet, ironically, one of the morals of the story is about forgiveness and having the ability to forgive.}}
* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]]: Mokuba does this {{spoiler|just as he's about to die--emphasize die--by lasers and missiles from Alister's monster.}}
{{quote| Mokuba: {{spoiler|(to Alister) My name is Mokuba and I choose to be your sacrifice for your brother, Alister! Hit me with your best shot!}}}}
* [[Never Hurt an Innocent]]: Averted; the Swordsmen will hurt innocents and probably kill them too.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted; the earliest a character says the word is chapter 4.
