*** Not really. He successfully used Harald's own tricks against him. Given that Yusei {{spoiler|prevented him from seeing his set card, he really left Harald to question what that set card was that was so worth protecting. He decided he had to win there and then, in case said set card would stop Gjallarhorn from working}}.
**** So at what point does "Yusei using his own tricks against him" somehow explain "Tyr's effect suddenly not working for no reason at all?"
***** Harald activated the Eye of Odin, negating the effects of his three Polar Gods to see Yuusei's set card (Zero Force). He then chains Tyr's effect to Eye of Odin, tributing Tyr to stop their effects from being negated. That means at this point, he would've been able to see the set card, Thor's effect would've made Shooting Star Dragon's effect useless and Odin's effect would've made the Polar Gods unable to be affected by Zero Force anyway. Then, at the end of the turn, Yuusei would've taken 10,000+ damage. Basically, Yuusei would've been inescapably screwed. But he [[Spanner in
****** Actually, with a little thought about alternate possibilities, it becomes clear that Yusei did drop Harald the [[Idiot Ball]]. You see, Harald could simply have activated Odin's effect, rendering the Polar Gods immune to Yusei's Traps (and his Magic Cards, but that's irrelevant). Then he could've used Thor's effect to negate Shooting Star Dragon's and absorb them (for some reason Shooting Star Dragon reverts to its real life effect here and can't chain its jump-out-attack-negate effect to anything but an attack, which is strange since next Duel it jumps back to its anime effect). All Harald had to do then was attack Shooting Star Dragon with Thor or Odin for the win, since Yusei has 200 Life Points. The Gods are immune to Traps due to Odin, if one of Yusei's Traps would deal enough damage to win the Duel Loki's effect can negate that, and if Gjallarhorn is still needed and would happen to be destroyed, thanks to its absorbed effects, Thor can negate any card effect which destroys something once a turn. So had Harald done this, which was perfectly reasonable, Yusei could never have pulled his Trick Mirror-Shooting Star Dragon-Zero Force thing. Idiot Ball, Harald. Made worse since he used to be in the military, you'd think he'd know well how he could win with the least risk.
******* Which is probably why he decided to make sure what Yuusei's facedown was; it's pretty much a given that he'd at least glanced at some of Yuusei's duels before the match, which would tell quite a bit of how often Yuusei [[Ass Pull|pulls out completely out-of-the-fricking-blue turnarounds]] against opponents who are too sure of their own win to bother noticing what Yuusei's doing over on the other side of the track (like, say, the duel against Team Taiyo immediately before). Harald had no way of knowing that Trick Mirror wasn't actually a miracle "negate-the-effects-of-all-DIVINE-type-monsters-and-destroy-them" card ex machina, so sacrificing some safety for assurance was actually the most logical course of action for someone like Harald, who wins by anticipating the moves of other players, but doesn't have a magical psychological card-sense like Andore. Which, of course, was [[All According to Plan|exactly what Yuusei was waiting for]].

{{spoiler|'''Yusei''': [[Oh Crap]], Breo's using a Deck Destruction Deck!}} }}
** Also, when Breo resists the temptation to attack with his Voltic Bicorn, like the heroes expect him to do, and instead destroys it himself, activating its powerful effect.
* The baddies do it, too. After JACK baits the leader of Team Catastrophe into suiciding himself with ''one move'' (see JACK's entry above), [[Arch Nemesis|Placido]] pulls Catastrophe (now down to one guy with all the Team's trump cards destroyed) from the tournament and initiates plan B. Cue the ''second''-most horrifying three words ever spoken in the series: [[Oh Crap|Battle Royale Mode]], and a flood of [[Mecha
* The beginning of Episode 107 with {{spoiler|Bruno regaining his memory and transforming into Dark Glass}} [[Big Damn Heroes|in time to save Yusei from the Diablo]]. Then with Placido leaping off a building and onto his speeding bike in order to face Yusei personally.
* Episode 111. {{spoiler|Bommer's little bro Max}} pwns JACK ATLAS!
Line 102:
* The MC's actions in episode 148, namely {{spoiler|staying behind to provide commentary on the duel between Yusei and Z-one, so everyone who's watching can run while still knowing what's going on. Note that this is putting himself at risk of dying from the incoming Arc Cradle}}.
* {{spoiler|ZONE's [[Dying Moment of Awesome]] when he flings himself into the Momentum core to stop the Ark Cradle.}}
* How has the final Duel between Yusei and Jack for the show's finale gone unmentioned? The WHOLE THING was one non-stop CMoA given the sheer nostalgia fuel of seeing some of their oldest cards revived, coupled with the reappearance of many characters, including Yusei's four friends from the first season who got [[Put
* This entire page, and not one single mention of the fact that Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds has not one, but '''''FOUR''''' theme songs by MASAKI FREAKING ANDOH(of JAM Project), who is the most hot-blooded J-Pop/Rock singer to have ever lived: The 4th and 5th OP Themes (Believe in Nexus, Road to Tomorrow ~Going My Way!!~), and two insert songs: The uncharacteristically mellow "Melody of Promises", and the already-mentioned "Clear Mind".
* ''Hyper Drive'', the dub opening theme, is actually surprisingly awesome in its own way. The fact it was the chosen opening out of about eight 4Kids put up for a vote is an awesome moment for the opening, and then you actually hear it. We still to this day don't know who wrote and performed it, but whoever did it, I salute you for such a piece of awesome. Especially the last three lyrics, which are poetically neat:
