* [[Bad Export for You]]:
* [[Homage]]/[[Shout-Out]] - The game started off as a homage to ''Magic: the Gathering'' for the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! manga]]. On top of that, several of the cards also reference various of Konami's video game franchises, most notably the ''Gradius'' video game series (not to mention a very special appearance from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'').
**The European releases of the first few booster packs were missing several cards. Fortunately, these were restored in later releases.
** Apparently, Hideo Kojima, creator of the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series, has expressed interest in the game, and as such is called "Hideojama" in reference to the "Ojamas". The ''Metal Gear'' reference is probably a shout back at this.
**The Duelist Pack sets [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Duelist_Pack_6:_Jaden_Yuki_3 Jaden Yuki 3] and [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Duelist_Pack_7:_Jesse_Anderson Jesse Anderson] contained five less cards in their TCG releases.
*** To stop beating around the bush, [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tactical_Espionage_Expert Tactical Espionage Expert] is a near physical double of either Solid Snake or Raiden, and his name comes from the series's subtitle: "Tactical Espionage Action".
**Many of the later Structure Decks are like this, either being edited to remove high-rarity cards, or in at least two cases scrapping the deck altogether and importing the new cards in them as add-ons to normal sets or as their own mini-sets.
** [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Six_Samurai The Six Samurai] archetype seems to be intended as an homage to ''[[The Seven Samurai]]''.
**The TCG once missed out on the chance to get [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/File:DarkMagicianGirl-YAP1-JP-UR.jpg Dark Magician Girl as drawn by Kazuki Takahashi himself in the 10th Anniversary Pack] because they deemed the artwork to be too mature for the TCG, and demanded Takahashi to draw a censored version. Takahashi refused to bow to [[Executive Meddling]], and thus the artwork stayed in the OCG territory. Thankfully, [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/File:DarkMagicianGirl-LART-EN-UR-LE.png the art finally came to the TCG as-is] many years later as part of the Lost Art promotion.
** The Deformer archetype (Morphtronic in English to avoid copyright issues) is a collective reference to Transformers and other giant mecha shows for kids in Japan such as "Golden Warrior Gold Lightan".
*[[Defictionalization]]:
** Look at [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Vehicroid_-_Stealth_Union Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]. Now look at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZRSvbcePtU this.]
**The card game itself, which was initially intended as a one-shot game in the manga.
** According to [[Word of God]], the Arcana Force monsters were based on the works of [[H.P. Lovecraft]].
**There are a huge amount of cards that started out in the anime or manga, and would later get imported to the real game.
*** Also, in the set of cards based on Tarot Greater Arcana, 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]]''.

** There is a card called [[Gradius]]. There is also a card called [[Ganbare Goemon|Goe Goe the Gallant Ninja]].
*[[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: There are some cards that just can't be bought normally, first-hand as in the way they were meant to be; the most famous example is the first edition of the 3 Egyptian God Cards: foiled, shiny and [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]], these were packed with the [[GBA]] game ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction''; people went crazy for this game ''just to get the cards.'' A great deal of the copies sold for this game was due to fans wanting the cards, that eventually many retailers would need to put a reminder for used copies, exclaiming that the product '''"Does Not Contain The Limited Edition Cards!"'''. People on [[EBay]] followed suit as gullible fans also thought that buying a $20 used copy of the game would grant them shiny and exclusive cards that were sold for about $100 separately, and were duped out.
** [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Genex_Ally Genex Ally] are incredibly similar to the original ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' characters.
** The ability of Gladiator Beast monster to switch places with another Gladiator Beast from the deck after battling has been unanimously dubbed "[[Professional Wrestling|Tag Out]]" by the playerdom.
** The Elemental Heroes, or at least the earlier non-Fusion ones, are based on various American superheroes (Avian / [[DC Comics|Hawkman]], Bladedge / [[Iron Man]], Necroshade / [[Spawn]]).
*** The Elementals weren't the only ones: Destiny Heroes, two in particular, were based on two chracters in classic Novels (Double Dude/ [[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]; Dreadmaster/ [[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]) and one Evil Hero is based on one of the [[X-Men]] (Malicious Edge/Wolverine).
*** And the Masked Heroes as a whole are nods to the ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' franchise.
** More specifically, the Inzektor monsters design, 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.

**Sometimes, some of the earlier cards released in the OCG could take literal years before they finally appeared in the TCG. Later TCG sets have included more cards than the corresponding OCG set; some of these are cards that were previously OCG only, while others are cards that are exclusive to the TCG. In turn, TCG only cards have begun to be released in the OCG through their Extra Pack sets. ''Eventually'' the two card pools may become equal...
** Yubel, The Ultimate Nightmare
**The [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Blue-Eyes_Shining_Dragon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon] was released as a promo for the movie in 2004. The card required to summon it, the [http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Blue-Eyes_Ultimate_Dragon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], wasn't released until over a year-and-a-half later. Though both were available in Japanese, OCG cards are not allowed when playing the TCG, at least officially speaking.
**Sometimes this applies to the video games as well. ''Tag Force 6'', hotly anticipated as the first video game to feature Xyz Monsters, was not released outside of Japan. Its successor ''Tag Force Special'' would also suffer the same fate.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]:
** Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia, which can be found [https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_Wiki here.]
** Yugipedia, which was forked from the Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia in 2018 as a result of discontent with [[Wikia]]'s newly-implemented (and often forced) changes. It can be found [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Yugipedia here.]
*[[Word of God]]: Two, as a matter of fact; until 2008, card rulings were given by both Konami and UDE, and they didn't always agree with each other. Many cards actually have different rulings for the TCG and OCG versions of the game because of this. After UDE's departure from the game, Konami handled the rules for both sides, and starting in the late 2010's had made efforts to converge some of the previous ruling differences between them.
