Following the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]] made by the late Kazuki Takahashi, there were actually two ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime series: [[Yu-Gi-Oh First Anime Series|The first anime]], which covers the first seven volumes of the manga (though with ''very'' major changes, including making Kaiba a more frequently recurring villain), which was made by Toei; and this one, the second series, '''''Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters''''', was produced by NAS and is adapted from volume 8 onward, rather loosely in some places (and featuring several [[Filler Arc]]s).
This second series is probably the reason why you are reading this, since it was the [[Adaptation First|one who made the series popular as it today]].
Line 19:
** This can be attributed to [[Executive Meddling]], as Kazuki Takahashi never got to flesh out the story with Seto and Kisara the way he wanted, and rebelling against the Pharaoh was probably intended to be a larger plot point for his story.
*** In the original version of the anime, Kaiba and Atem even [[Lampshade Hanging|point out]] that the duel was completely different from what they expected. Atem handwaves it, saying the memory world is probably not an accurate representation of what really took place.
** Also noteworthy is that when it first appears, the tablet does not have Kaiba holding the Millennium Rod—it's just a generic staff, and he doesn't have it in the vision Isis shows Kaiba either. Later the fact Kaiba has the Rod on the tablet becomes a major plot point, and over time the image on the tablet changes to the point it is quite clearly the Millennium Rod. Compare [http://naraku.us/dk2/052/52x34.jpg this screencap] of the tablet in Season 2, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20110814180133/http://naraku.us/doma/145/145x14.jpg this screencap] in Season 4.
* [[Absurdly High Stakes Game]]: Shadow Games and Duel Monsters. The world is frequently at stake.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Gozaburo Kaiba, Marik and Isis's father.
Line 134:
* [[Cock Fight]]: Tristan and Duke, over Serenity.
* [[Collectible Card Game]]: DURP DURP.
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]: Capsule Monsters, Capmon for short. They would come from a vending machine, with the luck of the draw determining what monster level and type you get. Part of the fun is the randomness, and that you use these monsters to battle. Season 1 and subsequent series engage in this. Some packs do have rare cards, like Exodia or the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Some episodes have Jounouchi and Honda asking Yugi's grandfather if new sets have come in or not; he chuckles and says not yet, most of the time. Seto Kaiba starts his rivalry with Yugi by trying to steal his grandfather's Blue Eyes White Dragon after the man refuses to sell it to him, explaining that the card has sentimental value. (It's because the card belonged to his best friend, who gave it to him after they nearly died while exploring a pyramid.) Kaiba doesn't learn; in Battle City, he says that losers in duels need to forfeit their rarest card, hoping this will help him acquire all the God cards that Isis Ishtar told him about when visiting Japan. {{spoiler|Predictably, Yugi beats him fair and square, taking Obelisk before facing Malik.}}
* [[Cooking Duel]]: Figuratively speaking. The series often stakes the lives of its characters, or even the fate of the world, on a game of Duel Monsters.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Mai Kujaku.
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
** [[The Starscream|Bakura]] [[Epic Fail|completely fails]] at doing any damage to [[Big Bad|Marik]] during [[Evil vs. Evil|their duel]]
** Two words, Vivian vs Rebecca
** Nameless [[Player
** Valon defeats Rebecca and Duke on his second turn.
* [[Cut and Paste Translation]]: Most infamously the [[Never Say "Die"|Shadow Realm]] concept.
Line 437 ⟶ 438:
** A few monsters have ATK or DEF stats that aren't divisible by 50. Castle of Dark Illusions has 920 ATK and 1930 DEF, Reaper of the Cards has 1380 ATK and 1930 DEF, King of Yamimakai has 2000 ATK and 1530 DEF, and Seven-Armed Fiend has 666 ATK and 666 DEF (1000/1000 in the Dub).
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Yugi.
* [[Plague of Locusts]]: Near the end of the fourth season, Dartz unleashes a swarm of locusts as he prepares to summon Leviathan.
** In the English dub, Titan's "Terrorking Archfiend" uses an attack called [[Calling Your Attacks|"Locust Storm Barrage"]] in his duel against Jaden.
* [[Plot Tumor]]: The ultimate one, possibly. Originally, the manga ''was not about any specific game'', much less a single card game. He's supposed to be the King of Game'''s'''.
** Lampshaded in The Abridged Series. Yugi is just referred to as "The King Of Card Games".
