Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bonds Beyond Time: Difference between revisions

Shin Yoshida, the screenwriter of the movie and one of the series compositors of the three series, stated that Paradox's true character will be revealed in the future episodes of 5D's. {{spoiler|Paradox finally made a cameo in the main series, as of Episode 135 of 5D's.}}

 

 

* [[The Abridged Series]]: [[Little Kuriboh]], creator of [[Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wu5xfzbY2E abridged] Bonds Beyond Time. [[Yu-Gi-Oh GX the Abridged Series|With ShadyVox as Jaden]].

* [[After the End]]: The distant future appears to be like this.

** Lampshaded by Jack in the dub while looking at a picture of Yugi.

** "Doesn't really look like much of a challenge. Especially with that dated hair style."

* [[Apocalypse How]]: {{spoiler|Paradox's future ranks as Class 4 or Class 5 - no seas, no forests, just rubbles with Paradox as one of the few humans remaining. After Paradox starts altering the past with time travel, this Trope is bumped up to Class Z due to reality disintegrating thanks to the changes he makes.}}

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]:

* [[Dying Race]]: {{spoiler|Paradox is one of the few humans remaining on Earth in the future.}}

* [[The End of the World As We Know It]]: Pick your choice: {{spoiler|either by Duel Monsters or by the disintegration of the dimension.}}

** Effects in the actual duel both play this trope straight and invert it. {{spoiler|Sin Truth plays it straight by destroying everything, and Stardust Mirage brings everything back.}}

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Paradox, obviously. Some of his laughs make him sound like he's channeling Hiruma right there.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Jaden provides a [[media:[[Juudai V]].jpg|truly spectacular example]], although the British audience would more likely get it. (For those not living in the United Kingdom, [[The Other Wiki]] has an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign#V_sign_as_an_insult explanation].)

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Before the climactic duel Paradox gives the heroes one, stating that even before he began to change history there were 'contradictions' such as [[Humans Are Bastards|environmental destruction, war and human cruelty]], and that their futures are not the right ones. Considering he comes from a [[Bad Future]], it makes sense he feels that way.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Yugi goes through one after he realizes that Grampa Moto is dead. Hence the Pharaoh taking over for the duration of the duel.}}

** {{spoiler|Yusei himself has a pretty bad one that pushes him to the brink of surrender, coaxed back only by Yugi and Jaden, it may or may not have to do with him seen struggling to be on the other side of Stardust from the 5D's openings.}}

** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: HE likely wasn't a very experienced duelist, due to what Duel Monsters did to his timeline.

* [[I Never Said It Was Poison]]: {{spoiler|Yugi activates a spell card that allows him to take control of one of Paradox's two dragons,. Paradox, in return, activates a trap to prevent it from working against Sin Paradox Dragon, the larger, nastier of the pair...just in time to find out that Yugi was going after the other one, Sin Stardust Dragon, the whole time. (Seems to be a problem a number of Yugi's foes run into!)}}

* [[Keigo]]: Yusei, who usually speaks rather informally, uses this when talking to Yugi and Jaden.

* [[In Medias Res]]: The movie starts in Venice, where Paradox is attacking Jaden with his dragons.

* [[Milestone Celebration]]

* [[A Million Is a Statistic]]: {{spoiler|The protagonists are upset by the deaths of Pegasus and Solomon Mutou, and to a lesser extent, everyone who died to Paradox's attack. To Paradox, on the other hand, the entire massacre was a trivial step to further his experiment. Considering he really didn't care about destroying Venice just to get Jaden, it's no surprise.}}

** Not exactly. The way Yusei used both cards for the first time {{spoiler|ensured that he can make up to five attacks in one turn.}}

* [[Never Say Die]]: The dub never says the word 'death' or 'die', but at least it does not try and make half-baked excuses for what happens when buildings fall on people. No death scenes are edited out.

* [[No One Should Survive That]]: {{spoiler|Yugi, after Domino City is ruined thanks to Paradox. Everyone else is dead, or at least only their belongings are seen. Doubles as [[Plot Armor]]. Might count as [[Fridge Brilliance]].}}

** {{spoiler|The Millennium Puzzle protects him against any cowardly attacks. Yugi simply can't be killed by a sneak attack or destroying a city unless he is defeated personally first.}}

* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|Pegasus, upon turning around only to see a whole building collapsing on him.}}

** {{spoiler|Also Paradox, right before his defeat.}}

*** There's a simple explanation. We know the cards in-universe contain ID chips that the Duel Disks read, so all the Duel Disk needs to have are the rules of the game programmed into it. This makes even more sense when you realize that, with new cards being released, it would not only be nearly impossible to have EVERY Disk updated for the new cards, it would have to store all of the rules for each individual card as well as the 3D hologram data on an internal hard drive, which would be pretty much impossible with the amount of cards. It makes much more sense to assume that all differences in Duel Disks are purely cosmetic (How else could the Orichalcos Disks exist?) and that the cards themselves are what cause them to work.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Going by the movie title, is this really a surprise?

{{quote| '''Jaden:''' (eyes glowing) "Paradox, get ready to get your game on!" <br />

'''Yusei:''' (Signer Mark glowing) "Your twisted time crusade ends here. Let's rev it up!" <br />

* [[Time Travel]]: Paradox is capable of this, and Yusei goes through a time slip during the course of the movie. {{spoiler|It was the Crimson Dragon who helped him do so. It also brings Yugi back in time after Sugoroku and Pegasus die.}}

* [[Time Travel Tense Trouble]]: Yusei telling Jaden what's happening [[How Do I Used Tense|right now in the future]]. The three protagonists are also confused when all three of them come together.

** Actually, if you look at it from another viewpoint, it [[Fridge Brilliance|makes sense.]] They traveled back in time to a point before the timeline changed, so their cards returned to the way they would be created as the original history states.

* [[Theme Naming]]: Sin ''Paradox'' Dragon, Sin ''Paradigm Shift'', Sin ''Truth'' Dragon. May count as [[Fridge Brilliance]] due to a paradox turned into truth upon changing viewpoints (i.e. paradigm shift).

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The theatrical dubbed release and the Encore run of the movie in Japan are planned to have additional footage added in. The Encore run will feature a special 10 minute extension in 2D.

* [[Watching the Sunset]]: Paradox does this in the distant future.

** Additionally, {{spoiler|ZONE, Antinomy, and Aporia are nowhere to be seen in Paradox's future. While this may have been justified in the theater release due to spoilers for 5D's, it doesn't for the DVD release.}}
