==Konami-based Shout-Outs==
* Apparently, ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' creator Hideo Kojima hashad expressed interest in the game, and as such is called "Hideojama" in reference to the [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ojama "Ojama"] archetype. On the flipside of that, the [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Tactical_Espionage_Expert Tactical Espionage Expert] is a near-physical double of Solid Snake and/or Raiden, and his name comes from the series's subtitle: "Tactical Espionage Action". The card art also features a Tanker from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]''.
* The ''[[Gradius]]'' series has cards directly based on the playable ships and enemies.
** The series of monster started with [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Gradius the original ship];<ref>Actually the original Vic Viper, but given the name of the planet it defends for its English TCG release.</ref> [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Victory Viper XX03Victory_Viper_XX03 its upgraded version]; [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Vic_Viper_T301 the playable ship] from ''[[Gradius V]]''; [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Jade_Knight the two new] [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Falchionβ playable ships] from ''[[Gradius Gaiden]]''; and [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Lord_British_Space_Fighter the playable ship] from the ''Gradius'' spinoff ''Salamander'', known to English-speakers as ''Life Force''.

** The options for the various ships also appear, either as [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Gradius'_Option independent cards] or in the form of [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Option_Token various] [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Multi_Token tokens].
** Some of the games' various enemies that were either made into or alluded to by various cards such as the [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/DUCKER_Mobile_Cannon Duckers], the [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Statue_of_Easter_IslandMoai_Interceptor_Cannons Moai statues], and the [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Moai_Interceptor_CannonsOption_Hunter statuesOption Hunters].

B.E.S.]" archetype), complete with [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Boss_Rush a support card named] "[[Boss Rush]]".

*** Bosses include [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Solar_Flare_Dragon the Intruder], [[Final Boss]] of the original ''Gradius''; [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Trigon another Intruder-esque boss monster] (as well as [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dragon_Laser the "projectile" form] used by Deltatry); and the Bacterian Empire Series (referred to as "B.E.S") - the last of which is its own archetype, complete with the support card "[[Boss Rush]]".
* [[Ganbare Goemon|Goemon]] and crew from ''[[Legend of the Mystical Ninja]]'' each [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Goe_Goe_the_Gallant_Ninja have] [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Lady_Ninja_Yae their] [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Masked_Ninja_Ebisu own] [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ninja_Grandmaster_Sasuke cards].
▲** And it further extends to ''[[Parodius]]'', with cards featuring the playable quartet of Aitsu, Koitsu, Soitsu, and Doitsu.

*The [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Vampire_Hunter Vampire Hunter] is an explicit reference to a Belmont from the ''Castlevania'' series.
 
==Others==
* [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Six_Samurai The Six Samurai] archetype seems to be intended as an homage to ''[[The Seven Samurai]]''.
* The "Deformer" archetype ("Morphtronic" in English to avoid copyright issues) is a collective reference to both ''[[Transformers]]'' and otherretro Japanese giant mecha shows for kids in Japanshows, such as "[[Golden Warrior Gold Lightan]]".
* Look at [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Super_Vehicroid_-_Stealth_Union Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]. Now look at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZRSvbcePtU this.]
* According to [[Word of God]], the "Arcana Force" monsters were based on the works of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. Also, the card representing The World has the power to effectively "stop time" by giving you potentially unlimited turns -- a shout out to Dio Brando's famous stand of the same name from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''.
* [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Genex_Ally Genex Allies] are incredibly similar to the original ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' characters.
* The ability of the "Gladiator Beast" archetype to switch places with another Gladiator Beast from the deck after battling has been unanimously dubbed "[[Professional Wrestling|Tag Out]]" by the playerdom.
* For the various Hero archetypes: the earlier Elemental Heroes are based on various American superheroes.<ref>e.g. Avian / [[DC Comics|Hawkman]], Bladedge / [[Iron Man]], Necroshade / [[Spawn]])</ref> Two of the Destiny Heroes in particular were based on classic novels, i.e. Double Dude ([[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]) and Dreadmaster ([[The Man in the Iron Mask]]'s section of ''The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later''). Evil Hero Malicious Edge is based on [[Wolverine]], one of the [[X-Men]]. And finally, the Masked Heroes as a whole are nods to the [[Henshin Hero]] subgenre, especially the ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' franchise.
* The Inzektors' designs and their overall effect of a stronger armoured Inzektor over a lighter faster Inzektor is a shout out to ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]''.
* Several cards use characters from other ''[[Shonen Jump]]'' series.{{context}}<!--I plan to elaborate on this down the line as I develop this page, but you're free to beat me to it. --Umbire-->
