Line 6:
=== Yugi Muto ===
[[File:
Ah, yes. Our protagonist, ladies and gentlemen. In the Abridged Series, Yugi shares the most amount of ever-so coveted screen time with Yami. His story plays out pretty much the same as it normally does, except with more card games and snarkiness.
Line 19:
* [[Hipster]]: "I'm Yugi Moto, and I was playing card games before it was cool."
* [[It's All About Me]]: Acknowledges his role as main character, but sometimes lets it get out of hand; i.e, not allowing anyone more screen time than him.
** He then questions this when he starts to believe that the Pharaoh is the hero. Although they both ''really'' don't want anyone cutting in on their screen time.
* [[Kid with the Leash]]: Currently the page quote (for a very good reason).
{{quote|'''Yami Yugi:''' Couldn't I just [[Mind Rape|mind-crush]] him?<br />
'''Yugi:''' You can't [[The All
'''Yami Yugi:''' Oh, come on! Just one little mind-crush, it'll barely hurt him.<br />
'''Yugi:''' No! Bad pharaoh! No mind-crush! }}
* [[Meta Guy]]: Starting from halfway through Season 2, he's often the first to complain about plot holes or nonsensical plans. A striking example is when he acknowledges the undertones of the speech delivered by Joey about [[Writer on Board|how the abridged series has introduced many to the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise and he has the fanbase by his side]]:
{{quote|This is so meta.}}
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Uses the millennium puzzle as a fashion accessory and visits the Pharaoh's soul room when he gets bored.
* [[Only Sane Man]]
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Averted. [[Reality Ensues|He mentions he should quit smoking after running for a relatively short time makes him exhausted]].
Line 34:
=== Yami Victor Yugi, aka "The Pharaoh" {{spoiler|aka "[[Dan Green]]"}} ===
[[File:
The incredibly FABULOUS alter-ego of our protagonist. In the Abridged Series, Yami is not as heroic as he used to be, but at the same time he's just as hammy, if not more so. Yami is a bastard, to put it simply, but his antics are just so damn hilarious that we can't help but love him for it. Has a penchant for Mind Crushing gay clowns and in the old days used to summon monsters out of thin air to brutally murder anyone he deemed as a threat. In the past, he also wasn't a benevolent pharaoh, as evidenced by his tradition of Slavemas. All in all, a difficult man to figure out.
Line 43:
* [[Am I Right?]]: "Hey, Joey. Watapon! Am I right?" - About one of the cards in Kaiba's lame-ass deck when he takes over the duel with Noah.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V -> Type IV]]. He cares nothing for anyone, loves to [[Mind Rape|Mind Crush]] people, when Yugi's friends are in danger his reactions range from indifference to joy, and in Season 0 he's completely [[Ax Crazy]].
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[The Caligula]]: His rule as Pharaoh Atem; "Slavemas" is the only word you need.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 49:
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]
* [[The Hero]]: Yugi's perception. Actually more like [[The Lancer]].
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: On Christmas, he sent Marik and his evil Council of Doom a present. {{spoiler|A bomb.}}
** His season zero counterpart is a full blown psycho who just seems to like killing the people who hurt Yugi, making him heroic in the [[Nominal Hero|loosest possible definition.]]
Line 68:
=== Steve "Joey" Wheeler ===
[[File:
[[The Lancer]]. Joey serves the same role as he does originally. Has a habit of subconsciously saying "Nyeh!" at times and is a closet furry. Might also have an attraction to Kaiba, but then again, [[Memetic Sex God|who doesn't]]? On the other hand, he's recently admitted his love for Mai Valentine{{spoiler|'s breasts}}. His name was also legally changed to Steve so Marik could take over his mind for a short time, but he is still referred to by his original name.
Line 74:
{{spoiler|It was recently revealed that he was indirectly responsible for Noah's death. During the incident that caused Joey and Serenity to be separated (said incident being teaching her how to drive while underage), she forgot to apply the handbrake, and ended up running over Noah.}}
----
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: More of a [[Jerkass]] Big Brother.
* [[Bi the Way]]
* [[Brooklyn Rage]]: [[Trope Namer]]. Though not an example himself, being from Japan.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "Brooklyn Rage!!", which didn't catch on... [[Ascended Meme|in-universe, anyhow]].
** Must...risk...life...for X!
Line 84:
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Homoerotic Dream]]: Dressed up as a dog and forced to obey Kaiba. This isn't the only time.
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Patrick Stewart Speech]]: Delivers one in episode 50 where Joey defends the institution of [[The Abridged Series]].
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Nyeh!"
=== Steve "Téa" Gardner ===
[[File:
In the Abridged Series, Téa is incredibly fixated on friendship. She honestly believes that friendship is the ultimate source of power and can right any wrong, God bless her. If you say otherwise, however... Be afraid. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Be very afraid.]] She can and will make speeches about friendship when provoked, and if she focuses on a single target, well...[[Fate Worse Than Death|the less said, the better]]. Her name was also legally changed to Steve so Marik could take over his mind for a short time, but she is still referred to by her original name.
Line 121:
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: A firm believer.
* [[The Tease]]: Towards Yugi in Season 0.
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]:
** [[Shipping|Ships]] [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] characters.
** Hinted at earlier in episode nine:
Line 128:
=== Tristan Timothy Taylor ===
[[File:
Tristan is...dumb. [[The Ditz|Really dumb]]. For real. That is pretty much all there is to be said about him. However, when he isn't [[Cloudcuckoolander|stuck in his own bizarre little world]], he can be surprisingly badass: his voice gives him super strength, after all. {{spoiler|His physical body has recently been destroyed/possessed, and he is now living as a robotic monkey. His friends think that he has died.}}
Line 134:
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "Holy [[Sound Effect Bleep|****]] on a [[Sound Effect Bleep|****]] sandwich", later added on by saying "with [[Sound Effect Bleep|****]] on top", then [[Rule of Three|a third time]] by finishing it with "And a side helping of [[Sound Effect Bleep|****]]". He also said the original line uncensored in episode 48:
{{quote|"Holy {{spoiler|bleep}} on a {{spoiler|bleep}} sandwich!"}}
Line 144:
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Yeah, he can break necks with his mind.
* [[The Gump]]: According to the trailer of episode 51, he fought in the Vietnam War, gave [[Mr/T]] his name (the "T" stands for "Tristan"), and went back in time with [[Doctor Who|the Doctor]] and wiped out the dinosaurs.
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: His voice changed in episode 8 (like the 4Kids dub)... [[Subverted Trope|only to get it back in episode 9]].
{{quote|'''Tristan''[with original voice returned]'':''' Hey, what gives? I liked my new voice! People were starting to take me seriously!
'''Yami:''' Sorry, Tristan, but it's much easier to make fun of you this way. }}
Line 153:
=== Seto Kaiba ===
[[File:
Current president of Kaiba Corporation. Seto's story roughly remains the same from the original show, with some minor exceptions. A little known fact is that he once experimented with several drugs which made him believe at one point that his hair was green. Never misses the opportunity to be as [[Badass]] as possible and screw the rules with whatever is necessary. ([[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|Namely with his money since he's obscenely rich]]).
Line 177:
{{quote|'''Kaiba''' (creepy monotone): I'm Seto Kaiba! The nicest guy on the face of the planet!}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: Parodied to a great extent. Even calling himself "the most skeptical person on this show".
* [[It's All About Me]]: Granted, he knows the show ''isn't'' all about him, but he still thinks it ''should'' be. In fact, he makes [[The Movie]] come to a grinding halt just to point out that he's a better character than Yugi/Yami.
{{quote|'''Robot:''' It's all about you, isn't it, Kaiba.
Line 203:
=== Mokuba Kaiba ===
Seto's little brother. Tends to get kidnapped a lot. Often told to shut up.
{{spoiler|Like Seto, his true father is a [[Dragon Ball]] character. Unlike Seto, he's not a robot, and is actually the son of Nappa. [[Memetic Mutation|Ghost Nappa]], to be precise.}} [[Unreliable Narrator|Probably, but likely not]].
Line 209:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Mokuba's the villain for Season 0.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: He's to insults and kidnapping as Bakura is to injuries and neglect.
* [[
* [[
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
* [[The Load]]: It varies.
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: Seto won't let him have friends as they tend to get kidnapped.
* [[Napoleon Delusion]]: Believed himself to be a Pokémon in Episode 28.
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "Shut up, Mokuba."
Line 237:
=== Solomon "Grandpa" Muto ===
Yugi's grandfather. A simple shopkeeper and stereotypical, senile grandpa with a death wish and some incredibly quirky... habits. Best not to pry into it: you will come back mentally scarred.
* [[Basement Dweller]]: According to Yugi.
Line 294:
=== Maximillion Pegasus ===
[[File:
CEO and founder of Industrial Illusions and creator of the children's card game Duel Monsters. When his wife-to-be inexplicably exploded at the altar, he went to Egypt and received the Millennium Eye from Shadi. He hides his sorrows and true intentions behind a gay facade. And we mean that literally. He used the first tournament to gather souls to bring back Cecelia, but lost to Yugi. After releasing the people he turned into trading cards he was killed by Yami Bakura...temporarily. Surgery has made broad advances, and Pegasus is back and more fabulous than ever before.
Line 316:
* [[Eye Scream]]: [[Played for Laughs]].
{{quote|"That's the wrong eyeball, you fool!"}}
* [[Harmless Villain]]: And how!
* [[Lolicon]]: The implication that Pegasus may be attracted to children is repeatedly [[Played for Laughs]]
{{quote|"Well, hello little girl, would you like to see my Funny Bunny?"}}
* [[Necromantic]]: Like in the original his goal is to bring his dead wife back to life.
** This gets taken to its logical extreme in ''Evil Council 4''. With the help of Rebecca's satanic teddy bear, Cecelia is brought back to life...[[Came Back Wrong|as a zombie]].
* [[Put on a Bus]]: For the main series as he doesn't appear again until season 4; he's made appearances in specials though.
* [[Sissy Villain]]: Hoo boy. And you thought the ''original'' was eccentric enough.
{{quote|Wohoohoohoo. If I weren't so very camp I'd probably make a credible villain.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]: About a few minutes after his death, it is hilariously [[
* [[Word of Gay]]: Inverted. [[Word of God|Bakura's gaydar was pointing to Croquet]].
=== Yami Bakura, aka Florence ===
[[File:
The spirit within the Millennium Ring. Yami Bakura, whose name is actually [[Gender Blender Name|Florence]], is the definition of evil: [[Faux Affably Evil|sadistic, sarcastic,]] [[Up to Eleven|and British beyond belief]]. It is because of this, however, that he has a legion of fangirls at his beck and call. His ultimate goal is to take the Pharaoh's screentime. After attempting to do so in Duelist Kingdom and failing miserably, he took Pegasus' Millennium Eye and (seemingly) killed him. He then lay dormant until Marik's arrival, where he struck a deal to assist him in his cause, since they shared similar agendas.
{{spoiler|After Melvin assumed direct control of Marik's body, he [[Even Evil Has Standards|outed him as a spy for 4Kids]] and challenged him. He lost and died, but it is heavily implied that his fangirls have more power than expected...}}
Line 345:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[The Dragon]]: To Marik in Season 2. Even when Melvin usurps the role as the [[Big Bad]], he still prefers working with his better half
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: [[Ambiguously Gay|Not that he's complaining.]]
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Florence, as mentioned above.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: He has [[Visionary Villain|evil aspirations]] but there are some things he won't do, for example [[Moral Event Horizon|catering to 4kids and cancelling the show]].
** He's also terrified of [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant|Melvin]].
* [[Evil Brit]]: He's not British, he's just gay.
* [[Famous Last Words]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-p7k95P7hs For the time being.] Also doubles as an [[Ironic Echo]] since it was a phrase uttered by normal Bakura last season.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: The reason for him being evil is rather flimsy (though he was asked about it on the spot by Tristan):
Line 359:
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Bakura, Spirit of the [Millennium] Ring, Yami Bakura, Florence. This was inevitably lampshaded in episode 40.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: ''[[The Slender Man Mythos|The Slender Man]]'' was his college roommate. For some reason, he can't remember most of it.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Marik. Although "friendship" may not be the [[Villain Team-Up|best]] [[With Friends Like These...|descriptive]] [[Ho Yay|term]].
* [[Only Sane Man]]: During the ''Evil Council'' videos.
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: Towards Marik.
* {{spoiler|[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]}}: In ''Marik's Evil Council'' 5 {{spoiler|he finally desisted and leave Marik's council in favor of Dartz's.}} Beside, {{spoiler|Dartz}} is willing to pay him ''actual money'' and let him do at least one evil thing once a month.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: He and Marik join forces to get more screen time than Yugi and Yami.
* [[
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]
* [[Talk to the Fist]]: [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|He shoots Zombie Boy mid-rant]] with an [[Continuity Nod|Invisible Gun]].
{{quote|"It's the only way to kill an overacting zombie!"}}
* [[Tsundere]]: In a spinoff yaoi fanfic that [[Little Kuriboh]] wrote for charity purposes, Florence is almost constantly fantasizing about Marik, but hates him too much to consider trying to take their [[With Friends Like These...|friendship]] to the next level.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?|Who Names Their Son Florence?]]: Idiots, apparently.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: According to Marik in his [[Let's Play]] of [[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]], Bakura is immortal and thinks it's rather overrated.
=== Marik Sebastian Ishtar III ===
[[File:
Marik is the successor to the tomb keepers of the Pharaoh and the leader of the Rare Hunters. Like Yami Bakura, he also wants to take the Pharaoh's screentime, and so he sends his minions into the Battle City tournament to destroy Yugi a little (not kill, destroy). He possesses the Millennium Rod, which allows the user to brainwash anyone with "Steve" or any variation thereof in their name.
{{spoiler|When he was young, Marik yearned for a life better than one spent underground, so he snuck out with Ishizu to the outside world. That one happy moment, however, didn't last. His abusive father Hank found out and assaulted his adoptive brother Odion into submission. On that day, his alternate personality Melvin surfaced, and killed his father in cold blood. When Shadi appeared, Marik made himself believe the Pharaoh was responsible. Currently he, or rather his personality, is sealed away.}}
Line 391:
'''Yami:''' What!? That's crazy! But look at the way she dress! }}
* [[Effeminate Misogynistic Guy]]: Marik loudly proclaims himself the most effeminate guy around, and generally disdains women. Of course, given the women's characterization...
* [[Harmless Villain]]: Played straight and subverted depending on whether he's carrying the [[Idiot Ball]].
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: "I AM ONE-HUNDRED-PERCENT STRAIGHT!"
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]
Line 401:
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: Melvin, who later materialized as a [[Split Personality]].
* [[Large Ham]]: He essentially channels the voice and acting abilities of both [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|Skeletor]] ''and'' [[The Venture Bros|the Monarch]].
* [[Late to
{{quote|"[[Brick Joke|OH, I get it!]] [[Don't Explain the Joke|He was implying that you wanted me to sleep with you!]] That is pretty funny. After all, I'm way out of your league."}}
* [[Laughably Evil]]
Line 416:
** This trait has since been taken by Dartz, as Marik's character had evolved far beyond what LK had originally intended.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: His motive as opposed to killing the Pharaoh in the original show. Eventually works with Bakura to do so.
* [[Step Three: Profit]]: He as a vaguely evil plan that will supposedly allow him to destroy the Pharoah. However, his plan seems to be 1) Beat the pharaoh at a children's card game, 3) Destroy him. No one is quite sure what step 2 is supposed to be. Not even Marik.
* [[Sue Donym]]: Uses "Malik Blishtar" as an alias.
* [[Transparent Closet]]: Mocked frequently for it.
Line 426:
=== Yami Marik, aka Melvin ===
[[File:
The current antagonist (not anymore...yet), and Marik's alter-ego. When Odion was struck by Ra's divine wrath, the mental seals on Melvin weakened, and he resurfaced. Unlike Marik, Melvin has absolutely no compunctions about committing more... grotesque atrocities. But can you blame him? All he really wants is a hug. By "hug" we mean he wants to stab you with a chainsaw.
{{spoiler|He is revealed to be a spy for 4Kids, sent to get the show cancelled. Bakura duels him to try and save the show, but is defeated. Melvin thus destroys the "fourth wall" and the show is destroyed.}}
Line 434:
* [[Arch Enemy]]: The bitchy door became his.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Just a warning - "Could I have a hug?" translates to "I'm going to take a chainsaw to you".
* [[Big Bad]]: For the rest of Season 2 and the second half of season 3.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "Mind Slave" and "Binky Boy", the former not used as often and the latter coming from his dad.
** "Could I get a hug?" and variations of such.
Line 458:
* [[Leitmotif]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLcznIOCldo His theme music from the dub].
* [[The Mole]]: He's a {{spoiler|4Kids employee}}.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Parodied in-universe. When reveals that ''he'' is the one who {{spoiler|suspended [[Team Four Star]]}}, nobody seems to think it's as big a deal as he makes out. In fact, Tristan has ''no idea'' who they are.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Mr. Tweetums, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|until he forgets him in a Shadow Game with Mai]].
* [[The Nicknamer]]
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]:
{{quote|Hear that, Florence? That's the sound of the [[Fourth Wall]]...''collapsing.''}}
* [[Out of Focus]]: ''The Cancelled Series''. The only screentime he's had involves him getting bored, wandering about the blimp, trying to hug Kaiba's bodyguards, and now he's trying to unlock a bitchy door. {{spoiler|He gets past the first lock, and now must unlock the second one.}}
Line 476:
=== Noah Kaiba ===
The biological son of Seto's and Mokuba's adoptive father Gozaburo, CEO of 4Kids, and current antagonist. In league with the Big Five to attempt to take down the show for good. Certifiable nutjob who wants revenge against Kaiba for stealing his life. Noah lived (somewhat) happily with Gozaburo until he was killed in a car accident. What remained of his mind was uploaded to the internet.
{{spoiler|Unbeknownst to him, Joey and Serenity are indirectly responsible for his death. Serenity, as it turns out, was the one who ran him over while learning how to drive.}}
Line 495:
* [[Leitmotif]]: His theme from the dub normally, same as Melvin. In Episode 55 he gets a new one while revealing his sob story: [[Gears of War|Mad World]].
* [[Yandere]]: For Mokuba, it seems.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Banishes Team 4kids to the darkest corners of the internet.
=== Gozaburo Kaiba ===
Former CEO of Kaiba Corporation. Considers anyone beneath him a "small person" and will occasionally poke fun at their misfortune. Do not enrage him if you value your ears. Was fired by Seto and Mokuba and committed suicide in disgrace.
{{spoiler|Not really. Just like in the source material he faked his death and actually inserted himself into the Virtual World in order to manipulate
* [[Abusive Parent]]: "[[Shout-Out|Whip [Kaiba] 'til his name's]] [[Roots|Toby]]". [[Crosses the Line Twice|'Nuff said]].
** Incredibly, [[Beyond the Impossible|he actually treated Noah]] ''[[Beyond the Impossible|worse]]''.
* [[Angrish]]: "SHUTYOURMOUTHYOULITTLEINGRATE!"
* [[Bad Boss]]
Line 510:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Especially obvious with his "Orphanland" bit. He also refuses to call people with less money than him by their names; He just calls them "small person".
** Not to mention he chooses to spend his money on "weapons of mass destruction that'll threaten the stability of world peace" over virtual holograms for children's card games.
* [[Evil Is Funny]]: A bastard, yes. But thanks to Antfish's presentation he is utterly hilarious.
* [[Filler Villain]]: A subversion seeing as he's [[The Man Behind the Man]] for Noah, who was [[The Man Behind the Man]] for Melvin.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Mood Swinger]]: He seems to be nice, but also seems to go in fits of rage as he chewed off an employee's ear off-screen.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: At least when it comes to chess.
{{quote|"Horses can't be knights, that's just silly."}}
Line 525:
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: The first two ''Marik's Evil Council'' specials portrayed him as a rather serious villain, [[Surrounded by Idiots]]. Since the third ''Evil Council'', his personality was radically altered. Additionally, his henchmen have all become far less idiotic and are now disturbed by his poorly pronounced schemes.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: He and his gang of motorcycle riding henchmen have a subplot in all of the ''Marik's Evil Council'' videos to date. We still have a ways to go before his in-series debut.
* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]/[[Porky Pig Pronunciation]]: He owften has twouble pwonun-
* [[Expy]]: [[Perfect Hair Forever|Coifio]].
* [[Filler Villain]]
Line 535:
* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: Has the same '''[EFF!]''' sound effect for the f-word as Marik had before; makes sense since he's based on a character from the same show the concept was used in.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: He got one, mayan.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Color-Changing Hair]]
* [[You No Take Candle|Yuu Naw Tayk Candaw, Dooshbaeg]]
=== Zorc Necrophades ===
[[File:
A dark god and famous TV celebrity. Was at first the star of ''Zorc & Pals'' until its unfortunate cancellation. However, Zorc bounced back by performing in ''The Suite Life of Zorc & Cody''. Loves destruction, especially of the worldly kind.
----
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Mentions "destroying the world" in some variation.
Line 557:
=== Anubis ===
Some random villain with generic motives no one gives a shit about.
* [[And Then What?]]: [[Lampshaded Trope|Asked]] by Yami; after Anubis can't think of a reason (though he says otherwise), he dubs him "[[Take That|The most disappointing villain since]] [[Revenge of the Sith|General Grievous]]".
Line 621:
** "It was a long taym agoe, een a galuxy FAR, FAR HAWAII..."
** I believe it's Egyptian-Scottish-Italian-British-American-Czechoslovakian-Plutonian...uh...Ishtarian.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:
** "The finest human being in the world", [[Abusive Parent|my ass]].
** During "An Ishtar Family Christmas", he claims to hate men with beards because they intimidate him...even though he ''is'' a man with a beard.
Line 631:
=== The Big Five / Team 4Kids ===
A group of former Kaiba Corporation executives who were fooled by Seto into assisting him in taking over Gozaburo's position, only to get screwed by his newfound money. They begrudgingly served him until Pegasus attempted making a deal with them that would give them back their prominent positions. They failed. Afterward, they tried to trap Kaiba in cyberspace. They failed. To add insult to injury, they ended up [[Hoist by His Own Petard|trapped in their own little world]] until Noah stumbled upon them and offered them new positions at 4Kids. They eagerly accepted and now an opportunity has arisen in which they will have their [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of [[4Kids! Entertainment]] and [[Team Four Star]].
Line 637:
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: "Death by drowning!" "Death by robot!" "Death by justice!" "Death by bad publicity!" "Death by penguins!"
** The actual "Unusual" one there, arguably, could be "death by bad publicity" if you have seen the actual series.
*** Until Lecter actually appears, where it is revealed his job is [[Cultural Translation|localization]], and his deck master Jinzo can destroy internet memes.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Lector, type two.
{{quote|''It's called ''localization'', Mr. Kaiba. Because I do declare, there is only one country that matters when it comes to translatin' stuff. And that's Americanlanyvania...I mean America.''}}
Line 644:
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Crump.
* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] with Crump.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Each member is sent to the darkest, most vile parts of the internet. In some cases it's subverted, though.
** Gansley gets sent to Megaupload. {{spoiler|Since the site was taken down by the FBI, this means that he actually dies.}}
** Johnson gets sent to The Dangerous Box.
** Nesbitt winds up on [[
** Lector ends up on Fanfiction.net. Let's just say he gets royally [[Mind Screw
** The only one who seems genuinely happy about his fate is Crump, because he gets sent to [[Image Boards|4chan]] and spams the board with penguins. {{spoiler|The sudden cutoff, however, implies that he gets banned.}}
* [[Five-Bad Band]]
Line 658:
** MasakoX: Nesbitt
** [[Lanipator]]: Lector.
* [[Logic Bomb]]: Invoked with Nesbitt due to him being a robot. When asking "the chicken or the egg" question doesn't work, Duke resorts to showing him [[media:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: They were initially voiced by LK, but are each by their own voice actor in ''The Cancelled Series''. See [[Hey, It's That Voice!]].
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: For their [[Badass Creed]], they recite [[Shout-Out|a variation of]] [[Pokémon (anime)|the original Team Rocket motto.]]
Line 666:
=== Dartz' Motorcycle-Riding Henchmen ===
* [[Badass Biker
* [[The Big Guy]]: Rafael.
* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Alister.
Line 679:
=== Ryo Bakura ===
[[File:
The present-time Bakura. Quite effeminate, and very, very British, he tends to get pushed in the background a lot by his evil side, who possesses the Millennium Ring.
Line 700:
* [[Closer to Earth]]: Rex.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Beavis and Butthead]], respectively.
* [[Heh
{{quote|'''Rex:''' You said 'region'!}}
* [[The Ditz]]: Weevil
Line 707:
=== Mako Tsunami ===
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Attempted on Yugi, successfully employed against Grandpa.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Being called a Freaky Fish Guy. He eventually comes to accept it, however.
{{quote|"You're not just ''a'' Freaky Fish Guy, you're ''the'' Freaky Fish Guy!"}}
* [[Blade on a Stick]]
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Cargo Ship]]: An in-universe example. He was married to the Ocean at one point. Then he dated an Aquarium before getting back together with her.
=== "Bandit" Keith Steve Howard ===
Line 743:
* [[The Cameo]]
* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: Parodied. He tries to convince Kaiba that there is no [[God]]. Except, in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' world, the Egyptian Gods are ''real''. The fact that he [[Epileptic Trees|may or may be part of Kaiba's subconsciousness]], who is himself one of these, may have something to do with it.
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Yep, the whole bit about Frieza was a lie, and he is Kaiba's actual father.}} [[Overly Long Gag|Probab]]-[[Killed Mid-Sentence|*SHOT*]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Based on- no, the ''exact same character'' from ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]''... [[Dissimile|except that he's voiced by Little Kuriboh now.]]
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: To Kaiba. In theory.
* [[Talkative Loon]]
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Never trust anything he says. He'll effectively [[Retcon]] it with his next appearance. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|This is, however, precisely what his humour revolves around]].
=== Jaden Yuki ===

The hyperactive protagonist from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', who thinks he's black and is highly disliked by other characters. Voiced by ShadyVox of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX the Abridged Series]]''.
----
* [[The Artifact]]: Jaden's [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]] characterization comes from a one-off joke early in the series where Joey criticized "Yu-Gi-Oh [[DMX]]," complete with an intro set to "X Gon' Give It to Ya." Since then, the show has always been referred to as ''GX'', but Jaden's rapping remains.
Line 761:
* [[Breakout Character]]: The positive reception for Shady's various performances as Jaden has helped make the character very popular in the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged community.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
** [[The Chew Toy]]: His [[Butt Monkey]] status is deliberately, and exaggeratedly, played up in [[The Movie]], to the point where he'll be called out for saying something unfunny... ''[[Hypocritical Humor|only to have Yami laugh at the exact same gag when Yusei says it]]''.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Freely and cheerfully admits that his having fused with Yubel probably counts as this.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 771:
* [[Le Parkour]]: "It's a good thing I play a lot of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''."
* [[Leitmotif]]: In addition to playing during the aforementioned joke that spawned Jaden's character, "[[DMX|X Gon' Give It to Ya]]" pops up in the Jaden Vs. Yugi video and the 10th Anniversary Abridged Movie trailer.
* [[Mary Sue]]: Or so says Yami.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: His character is surrounded by references to [[Running Gags]] from Shady's original ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX the Abridged Series]]'', such as him complaining about [[Amusing Injuries|"breaking his coccyx"]] in "Yugi vs. Jaden: BATTLE!" and claiming to be "Absolutely Flawless!" in the Tenth Anniversary Abridged Movie.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: At the end of the movie, {{spoiler|he accidentally spoils the fact that Yami dies in his series, which ends up trapping him, Yami and Yusei in Subspace.}}
Line 780:
* [[The Scrappy]]: In-universe. Yami and Yusei pretty much despise him and will call him out for even the slightest thing... ''even if it isn't actually bad''. The ''Abridged'' fanbase [[Ensemble Darkhorse|seems to think otherwise]], however.
* [[Unpopular Popular Character]]: Loved out-of-universe, hated in-universe
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: A milder example. When Yugi tries mocking him for having "imaginary friends", his only response is, "[[Hypocritical Humor|Oh, right]], ''[[Demonic Possession|look who's talking]]''."
=== Yubel ===
One of Jaden's two "imaginary friends", aka "the demon living in my head"(actually a living spirit residing in the actual card).
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Juicey Flannigan, better known as Kaiji Tang, the latest English voice of [[Hokuto Musou|Kenshiro]].
=== Lyman Banner ===
Line 793:
* [[Asian and Nerdy]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm Asian!" and variations thereof.
* [[Flat Character|Flat]], [[Satellite Character]]: He... only really exists to cheer Jaden on and refer to his Asian-ness.
=== Yusei Fudo ===
[[File:
The protagonist of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. He's one of the saner characters in the series, despite the fact that he dates his bike, and has an incredibly nice voice.
Line 805:
{{quote|"I'm the serious one with a voice that makes the fangirls ''swoon''".}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not call his bike smelly.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "I came...to [location]." It'll always get subverted by the end of the video, leading to gems like this:
{{quote|'''Yusei''': "Paradox... I came."
Line 813:
'''Yusei''': "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|But I also]] [[Jizzed in My Pants|had an]] [[Up to Eleven|orgasm!]]" }}
** In the movie, "[[Hypocritical Humor|What's wrong with his hair?]]"
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: He regards the day Jack Atlas destroyed the city during a mic test as the worst day of his life on the grounds that ''he couldn't get laid'' due to everyone being too busy burning to death.
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Very much so.
* [[Companion Cube]]/[[Cargo Ship]]: His bike is his girlfriend.
Line 820:
* [[The Modest Orgasm]]: "Jack? I came... again."
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: An honest-to-goodness believer, despite the fact that their antics (Jack and Jaden) and assholery (Yugi) annoy him most of the time.
* [[Straight Man]]: To Jack. And Yugi and Jaden to some extent.
* [[Only Sane Man]]
Line 828:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!
** Later "re-branded" to "DUEL MONSTERS ON D-WHEELS!"
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Thinks Paradox is Waldo of [[Where's Waldo]] when Yusei spots him in an old picture.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Calls Paradox a dick for stealing Yusei's Stardust Dragon card, before admitting "I know I did it in season one, but uh... He's a dick!"
Line 837:
** '''Jack''': What?
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: He's supposed to be Australian. This is parodied by dubbing his voice over a clip from ''[[Crocodile Dundee]].''
* [[Simpleton Voice]]
=== Yuma Tsukumo ===
Line 852:
The Slender Man. Know him. Fear him. Give him $20 or he'll ruin your movie. And possibly eat some kids along the way. Was formerly Bakura's college roommate, and has made several guest appearances in the spinoff videos, though he hasn't appeared in the actual material. [[The End - or Is It?|Yet.]]
Appeared as {{spoiler|the Third Angel}} in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0GpeXAsIKY LittleKuriboh's Card Games For Charity NGE One-Shot].
