=== Anime examples ===
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Divine
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: In-universe example: "Why are these Team Taiyou losers been wasting our time throwing out normal monster after normal monster? They've been at this for 18 turns already!<ref>9 turns each for both players</ref>... wait what? You serious? {{spoiler|They're gonna summon Sleeping Giant Thud? But they only need another two turns!}}. [[Squee|I wanna see! I wanna see!]] Go Team Taiyou!"
** Real life example {{spoiler|Man, Team Taiyou is boring....What, what? A reference/appearance of the original series God Cards comparing it to Thud?? MY GOD THEY BEAT CROW IN A STRAIGHT UP DUEL!? Go Team Taiyou!!}}
Line 7:
** 4kids losing the license to the series... Though extra YMMV, since that also means [[No Export for You]] for certain things.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: What Team Catastrophe turned out to be, due to being {{spoiler|Placido's [[Unwitting Pawn|Unwitting Pawns]] }} and not wanting to win as much as wanting to just break shit. Heck, Hans didn't even get to duel!
* [[Ass Pull]]: This ''is'' ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', so there's guaranteed to be a lot of come-from-behind victories revolving around cards that had never been foreshadowed. The most [[Egregious]] example? Rubble King from episode 10, a card whose effect depends on there being a lot of cards in the Graveyard... and it just happened to be the second-to-last card in Yusei's deck. This card was created out of wholecloth to enable Yusei's victory in that episode and never appeared again, not even being released in real life. And technically speaking, he didn't need it in the first place; he could have activated his winning trap card, Blasting the Ruins, at the start of his opponent's next turn.
* [[Awesome Music]]: [[Broken Base|Fans are split]] as to whether "Hyperdrive" is a good song or not. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvNEJFJCDzo But come ''on'' here...]
* [[Badass Decay]]: Aki. At the start of the series, she was a cold stone bitch who nobody messed with or they would suffer from her unleashing the [[Blessed
** Jack suffered from this, too. While in the first season he was Yuusei's equally-matched rival and the secondary main character, he was the show's [[Plucky Comic Relief]] at worst and a [[Memetic Badass]] at best seemingly bearing no relevance to the plot whatsoever... Until a mini-arc actually addresses the perceived decay, {{spoiler|with a robot duplicate of Jack's King persona claiming that the real Jack has lost his edge, saying that he cannot win against his past self. After losing once, Jack has a rematch and whoops his doppelganger's ass in spectacular fashion.}}
*** And just in case anyone still doubts Jack, another mini-arc saw Jack fighting against the forces of the forces of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Crimson Devil]] and {{spoiler|stealing the powers of the Crimson Devil to make his newest trump card, Scar-Red Nova Dragon. It helps that he is the reincarnation of a legendary Signer with a special power called [[Hot
*** The final episode pretty much turn him from emo self procalimed covered by money king into a real king. He has some [[Magikarp Power]] on him really, going from [[Badass Decay]] into possibly the strongest among signer with only Yusei as the competitor.
*** Its funny to think that it is implied that without the Legendary Signer, the Crimson Dragon side is losing against the Scar-Red Nova. Now that same being is Jack's Slave/Trump Card. This imply that Jack is stronger than even the Crimson Dragon itself
* [[Base Breaker]]: Crow, Crow, Crow. Quite possibly the worst [[Base Breaker]] in the series, it's hard to find enough people who share opinions to come to a consensus on what they ''think'' he is and [[Alternate Character Interpretation|what he should be.]] Some people call him the [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]] of the series(Though most detractors say that the honor should go more to [[Memetic Badass|Jack]]). Others love him for what he is, the [[Large Ham]] of the cast. Still others call him a [[Canon Sue]], citing his use of an archetype that's [[Game Breaker|been a tournament staple in real life]], the fact that {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger|he became a Signer]] }}, and the fact that he ''never shuts up'' as reason for being hated. This extends to just about any episode that revolves around Crow, to the point where, if you see Crow featuring prominently in an episode, there's bound to be an argument about it.
** Aki fits this to a minor degree. Either you love or hate her [[Backstory]] and [[Character Development]].
* [[Better
* [[Black Hole Sue]]: In a way that was [[
* [[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.
** Crashtown Arc - pointless filler that ran on for too long and changed absolutely nothing, or interesting arc focusing on a character that until now had been [[Put
** As of Episode 107, Placido's transformation. The coolest villain in all of ''Yu-Gi-Oh'', or just silly?
** ZONE's true identity, a good plot twist or poor writing after foreshadowing pointed to something else?
* [[Canon Sue]]: Bruno is the most obvious example. In his very first episode he heavily outshines both Crow and Yuusei at D-wheel mechanics and computer hacking, beats Crow (an excellent duelist) and Jack (the former King of Games) at a duel puzzle after Yuusei (the current King of Games) asks him if it's even possible. {{spoiler|Now subverted, since Bruno was secretly Dark Glass, Yuusei's [[The Watcher|watcher]], albeit his memories seem to have gone the way of [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] though he retained his great dueling prowess.}}
** The jury is still out on whether or not Crow counts for this trope. He's something of a [[Broken Base]] there.
* [[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.
* [[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.
*
** 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.]]
*
*
*
*
** The original opening during the Dark Signer Arc will get stuck in your head as well.
*
** Kiryu also to a lesser extent. The fact that he ha obtained a seven episode long arc focused on him may or may not be acknowledging his fan popularity.
** The Familiar of the Crimson Devil is quite popular as well, mainly due to his quirky personality.
Line 40 ⟶ 42:
** Carly prior to season 3.
** Martha.
*
** On a related note, that [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Rex is Crow's father.]]
*** Interestingly enough (and related to both of the above), in the 5Ds manga, it appears that {{spoiler|Rex is Jack's father}}.
**
** Sly is Divine's son.
** Many people theorize that Yusei is now dead thanks to his final stunt shown of jumping over the bridge connecting Satellite and Neo Domino. It doesn't exactly help that Yusei already dodged huge air fans, jumped over a pit of magma and stood on top of a railling on a cliff in the final episode alone.
*

*
** Yusei's self blame towards Zero Reverse becomes horrifically justified when {{spoiler|Yusei's future self is ZONE and Yliaster's leader. He was the one who guided Rudger into triggering the event, killing hundreds of people and his own father and causing what he feared the most.}}
***
** So Yusei saved Neo Domino City. Great! Only {{spoiler|didn't ZONE want to destroy Neo Domino to prevent a far bigger disaster from taking place in the future?}} By saving the city, did Yusei just {{spoiler|doom the future world, with no one left to prevent it?}}
*
** This bit is exclusive to the English Dub. If Jack, Yusei and Crow grew up together in the same neighborhood, from they were babies I might add, why is it only Jack has an Australian accent?
*** It's 4Kids. Leave it at that.
*
*
** Straighter example: Zero Reverse and the [[Bad Future]] itself, thanks to Japan suffering what is pretty close to the real life equivalent with the 8.9 earthquake, tsunamis and power/nuclear plants exploding.
*
** Some fake episode titles mentioned something about a new Earthbound Immortal. With the airing of episode 112, we learn that {{spoiler|the Crimson Devil is actually an Earthbound Immortal that fought one-on-one with the Crimson Dragon and lost.}}
*
*

*
** Nitro Warrior. Every single time it is summoned {{spoiler|(except for the final duel with Jack)}}, the opponent is OTK'd - in Crashtown, Yusei summons Nitro Warrior and OTKs [[Beyond the Impossible|three guys at once]]!
*** Jose. Hhe ''runs'' down the track after Jack's D-Wheel when it's his turn to duel, and keeps up with him until he merges with his D-Wheel a few moments later. Many jokes ensued about the possibility of him just running around the track for the duel without a D-Wheel, which apparently he could have.]]
*
** More recently, Jack's "obsession" with coffee.
** ATLAS ''PUNCH!''
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
** "ABSOLUTE POWER FORCE!"
** ZETSUBOU!!
*
*
*
** You will either think {{spoiler|that Aporia's introduction}} is either cool, or the most ridiculous fucking thing ever. Also his D-Wheel looks like a cat's face.
*
*
** Let's just say that Placido was more intimidating riding his D-Wheel than becoming his D-Wheel.
*
** Everything about the [[Eldritch Abomination|Earthbound Immortals/Gods/Jibakushin]]. [[Sealed Evil in
** Kiryu's Infernity deck. Actually, ''just Kiryu''.
** A notable and unusual one is a shot of Ruka with a skull for a face.
*
*
*
** Crow may also qualify, being given a legitimate expanded backstory in 94 and 95.

** A lot of [[Foreshadowing]] went into hinting at ZONE being {{spoiler|Yusei from the future}}. When it was revealed {{spoiler|he was just some random nobody who underwent plastic surgury to emulate Yusei}}, the fandom went nuclear.
** When Sly, one of Rua and Ruka's classmate, was introduced, the series made notice that he had interest in Yusei's Stardust Dragon. This was never developed.
** Aki's character arc in the second season began with her wanting to learn how to Turbo Duel to understand the adrenaline and energy that Yusei and other Turbo Duelists feel, and it was hinted she wanted to get closer to Yusei after being jealous of female Turbo Duelist Sherry. Once she got her license to ride Aki only ever took part in a single Turbo Duel as a member of Team 5Ds, and was eliminated in the same episode she went in.
*** Two episodes after she got Aki got her license, Rua and Ruka got a two-episode arc where they got to Turbo Duel using skateboards instead of motorcycles. This went absolutely nowhere.
** After all the focus on Jack and Carly's relationship during the Dark Signers ark, the dreaded [[Reset Button]] rears its shiny head. Their relationship is never put into focus or developed in any form or shape again, and instead Carly is reduced to being just another Jack fangirl for the sake of comic relief. The sound you're hearing is the sound of Jack/Carly shippers reaching for the torches and pitchforks.
*
** This is even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in Tag Force 4 when Carly tries to question Yusei about his life when Rally forces her and the player character into a duel. Carly whispers to herself, 'What is with this girl!? She's cute, I'll give her that, but...' to which Rally angrily responds, 'I'M NOT A GIRL!!!'. Carly completely ignores this and continues talking to herself about accepting the duel.
** Jaeger fits the trope, too. Lampshaded in Episode 81, when {{spoiler|a holographic Jaeger "clone" can't make up its mind whether it belongs in the men's or ladies' bathroom}}.
** Luciano has a long braided ponytail, eyelashes and a feminine voice. But at least he wears the male school uniform.
*
** Also, Yuusei's on-again off-again fear of Wisel Emperor, an Anti-Synchro monster that he's already defeated. Using a Synchro Monster. And even though that Synchro was Deus Ex Machina dragon, he still has Junk Archer, whose effect already perfectly counters Wisel Emperor's.
*** Not to mention Turbo Warrior, which is ''completely unaffected'' by the effects of monsters level 6 and lower...such as the level '''''ONE''''' Machine Emperors and every component piece of them shown to date (Wisel's only have gone up to 3, and Skiel has only upgraded as far as 5), meaning it could have charged head-on into Wisel's core, ignored Wisel Guard 3's attack redirection effect, and kamikaze'd it into oblivion.
*** Though they don't see a lot of use, normal Tribute monsters still exist. Without a Synchro to absorb the Machine Emperor is stuck at 2500 points, which isn't very hard to overcome. Solution to avoid making him stronger? Just don't use Synchros so much! Yusei could have just retooled his deck with stronger base monsters and not relied on Synchros so much, and he probably would have been fine.

** A notable instance is changing Himuro's knife that he hid from the prison guards into magazines. The dub simply makes it more subtle and turns it into a [[Parental Bonus]].
