The Movie

Yugi: "By the power of Greyskull!"
Yami: "I have the power!"

  • When Kaiba summons XYZ-Dragon Cannon during his fight with Pegasus, the Transformers theme song starts to play.
  • Yami says "Kaiba, I'm sure on some planet, your strategy is considered powerful, but your weak link is: this is Earth", which was said in Kung Pow! Enter the Fist.
  • When looking for Yami in the labyrinth, Yugi shouts "KHAAANNNNN!" in frustration.
  • "Run! Get to da choppa!"
  • "You certainly took your sweet time, didn't you! I mean, come on, the movie's almost over! Who do you think you are? Venom?"

TRISTAN: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
KEMO: No... my hair is your father!
TRISTAN: That's not true.. that's impossible!
KEMO: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
TRISTAN: Nooooooooo!

Episode 30

  • The episode is almost entirely dedicated to Saw.

Yami: You've got to be kidding me.

  • In the same episode, Yami starts listing spoilers because the villain is an obvious fan of plot twists. He's cut off by a title card, but 3 are heard that sound oddly familiar...

Yami: SNAPE KILLS D--
[many spoilers later...]
Yami: --Nicole Kidman is a ghost, and Rosebud is his sled!

Marik: What is a man?! A miserable pile of secrets! But enough of this...! I'm out of here.
Yugi: Come back here, and take your henchman with you!

  • In also the same episode, the opening and the closing theme of said episode is a reference to the theme song of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
  • At the very beginning of the episode: the giant hedgehog who says "Dinsdale" is a reference to the Piranha Brothers sketch from Monty Python.

    • Somewhat unrelated, but bonus points to those who are familiar with the term "lad" in an Australian setting.
    • Just before this(as he's picking up the pipe), Kaiba says "Grabbin' a pipe!" which is most likely a Left 4 Dead reference.
  • The Star Wars shout-outs continue on:

Evil Tristan: "The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the guy kicking your ass with a stick."

  • Joey's tackle attack sounds a lot like Pikachu's Volt Tackle.
