Line 17:
** Aki fits this to a minor degree. Either you love or hate her [[Backstory]] and [[Character Development]].
* [[Better on DVD]]: Especially when filler episodes can be skipped over and some can be treated as a bonus arc (Crashtown).
* [[Black Hole Sue]]: InCrow's aincreased way that was [[Misblamed|in no way the fault of the production crew]] and [[Executive Meddling|in every way the fault of the card game executives]], Crowpresence ended up warping the intended plot quite a bit. The story goes something like this: Crow was never intended to be a main character (and- in facthe was originallya conceivedclose asfriend ato ''villain''Yusei, believebut itnot ora not),major butpart of the cast. afterAfter Blackwings started selling like hotcakes in [[Real Life]], the Konami suits ordered the anime crew to make him a permanent member of the cast ([[Merchandise-Driven|so more Blackwings could be made, of course]])., Thisand, endedas upit causing quite a few things to be cut in the name of sellingturns cardsout, includingKatsumi Demak'sOno [[Backstory]] andhad a rematchsoft betweenspot Ruafor and BommerCrow. So while Crow isn't a [[Black Hole Sue]] in the context of the ''5D's'' universe, he is one metatextually.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The Team Unicorn duel, according to numerous disgruntled fans. The Aesop the writers were going for was probably something along the lines of "It's better to lose and have fun than win and be a [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|stick-in-the-mud]]," but it came across as broken because a) Team Unicorn was in a major tournament, so you'd imagine winning would probably be a pretty high priority for them, b) the tournament was double-elimination, not single, so Team 5D's could still progress to the finals by beating two more preliminary opponents, and c) the Aesop itself was handled more like "[[Hard Work Hardly Works]]" or "[[You Can't Fight Fate|You Can't Fight]] [[Plot Armor]]" than anything else.
* [[Broken Base]]: Let's just say that the only thing that the fandom can generally agree on is that the music is great and the first 64 episodes were better then what came after that. You'll have arguements on anything from how many seasons exist to correct character spellings to anything involving Aki and Crow.
Line 27:
* [[Complete Monster]]: ''Divine.'' There's no lives he won't ruin so long as he can make god use of them.
** Lotten in the Crash Town arc to a lesser extent. At least Barbara was loyal to ''him'' a trait he didn't return.
* [[Common Knowledge]]: This [https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/pxfoe6/anime_yugioh_5ds_how_a_fandom_created_multiple/ Reddit post] puts a pretty definite kibosh on two of the fandom's biggest misinformations surrounding the anime's production
* [[Common Knowledge]]:* The long accepted reasoning behind 5Ds' second half moving away from mythological to purely technological foes, the infamous Aki "benchwarmer" plot and the underusage of Carly and Misty has little to nothing to do with Ayumi Kinoshita's pregnancy nor Carly's first VA being arrested for cult membership. Firstly, Kinoshita gave birth to her first child in ''2014'', which kills that idea pretty firmly. Secondly, Carly's VA was arrested in 2010, well into the show's run - in fact her last episode was ''128 out of 154'', and as any anime fan knows, anime is first acted out and then animated, which means there simply was no way in hell the cult connections could've affected the original plan for the season. So, in the end it just boils down that the writers wrote themselves into a corner with the Dark Signers and had to start again from scratch, so the girls sadly had to take a backseat.
**
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Admit it, as absurd as the idea of "Card games on motorcycles!" may be, if they ''actually'' invented the equipment needed to make it real, fans of the card game would be lining up at the DMV to gain a license for it. In fact, when ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' came out, many fans were disappointed that the "Speed Duels" mentioned in promotional material had nothing to do with Turbo Dueling.
** To a lesser extent, the idea that Crow was originally supposed to be the [[Big Bad]] of the Dark Signers arc. Kazuki Takahashi's character designs explicitly define him as a protagonist, a kind of a "lovable crook" that would've stolen Yusei's D-Wheel once, only for him to realize the error of his ways, especially given he would've done that to a friend of his.
 
*[[Creator's Pet]]: Despite the fact that Crow and Aki (especially the former) are [[The Scrappy]] or [[Base Breaker]] (depending on who you ask), they are considered to be cool by younger characters (the twins for Aki and Crow's orphans for himself) and are apart of the hero's [[True Companions|best friends]].
** Yusei, for some. He's constantly deified by the series and is considered to be awesome by a lot of the cast in general, and he virtually never loses (and when he wins, it tends to be through some [[Ass Pull|new card that]] [[Deus Ex Machina|came from nowhere)]]. It doesn't help that the later seasons pretty much [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|revolve around him]], to the detriment of [[Out of Focus|most all]] [[Demoted to Extra|of the other characters.]]
