Line 10:
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: The Card Professors' names range from perfectly normal (Kirk Dixon, Pete Coppermine, Ted Banias) to downright strange (Deschutes Lew, Klamath Osler, Willa Mette). See [[Theme Naming]] below.
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: Let's face it, Kaiba Corp is pretty much the Mokuba of the [[Fiction 500]].
* [[Avenging the Villain]]: Unfortunately, Yako's trying to get revenge on the wrong person; other than defeating him at the end of Duelist Kingdom, Yugi didn't have a thing to do with Pegasus' death. The ''real'' culprit [[Demoted to Extra|never even makes an appearance]].
* [[Badass Grandma]]: Mrs. Maico Kato, a tea-drinking, wheelchair-bound, doting grandmother... who also happens to be a highly-ranked professional Duelist.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: Depres Scott's [[Theme Deck]] plays with this; monsters in space are assigned a number of "life stars" based on their level and [[Death's Hourglass|lose one at the end of each turn]]. Once they run out, they're automatically destroyed.
Line 24:
** [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The anti-cheating feature of the Duel Disks had never been triggered before in the story- it was only mentioned as part of the summary of the special rules of the series at the end of the previous volume.
* [[Cherry Tapping]]: The Wicked Avatar is always exactly ONE attack point stronger then the strongest monster on the field, but as Yakou points out, that one attack point makes all the difference.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Played with, as while Yakou and Gekko are natural identical twins, flashbacks reveal that Yakou always felt like an inferior copy of his twin brother.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: At least in the Viz translation, Kaiba claims that the caliber of duelists at his company's latest sponsored tournament isn't quite to par and that perhaps he should think about [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|opening up a school]]
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Near the end of Volume Four, Yami crushes a Card Professor in a single panel with Osiris.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Anzu. [[Designated Victim|Mokuba]] actually gets left alone for once.
* [[Double Entendre]]: One of Mendo's cards forces each player to pay 1000 Life Points to normal summon any monsters. It's called [[Screaming Birth|"Labor Pain."]]
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: Partial example; Kaiba handily defeats one of the Card Professors, who prepares to hand over the key card needed to get into the building... only for Mokuba to cheerfully announce that he's [[Playful Hacker|finished hacking through Yako's changes to the security system]]. Kaiba's sole reason for bothering with the duel in the first place was that he wanted a "warmup".
* [[Eagle Land]]: Not only are the Card Professors Americans, but guess who's back...
* [[Evil Counterpart|Evil Counterparts]]: The Wicked Gods for the God Cards.
Line 39:
** Kaiba had one too, after losing a duel.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: A very mild and non-violent example of this happened to Kirk Dixon, who, after losing his duel to Yugi, became so distraught by his loss he stumbled upon a booby trap he had set up himself and was promptly sent downstairs into the basement.
* [[Hope Spot]]: During Gekko's duel with Richie, {{spoiler|just as Gekko is about to win with a devastating direct attack, there is a sudden flash of light and Richie has won. A quick flashback next chapter reveals what happened, and leads into a nasty Tearjerker.}}
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Non-Girlfriend:]] Yako kidnapping Anzu drives the entire plot
* [[It's All Upstairs From Here]]: ''Of course'' Yako's going to wait for Yugi on the top floor of the Kaiba Corp building. Jou and Honda have it even worse, since they fell through a [[Trap Door]] early on and ended up in the basement. Subverted with Kaiba and Mokuba, who [[Dungeon Bypass|came in through the roof]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Not like this is any sort of surprise, but Bandit Keith pretty much started this whole mess by telling Yako that Yugi killed Pegasus. Of course, this is all untrue, but Keith couldn't care less either way, {{spoiler|as long as he gets the chance to duel Jounouchi again.}}
Line 49:
* [[Mission Control]]: Mokuba takes on this role, [[Playful Hacker|deactivating Yako's security measures,]] monitoring the Duel Server's status, and [[Voice with an Internet Connection|keeping the others filled in on the current situation.]]
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Chapter 27 opens with Jounouchi and Honda beating up tons of Mooks, with a humorous [[Lampshade Hanging]] by Jounouchi about how long its been since he fought someone with his fists instead of cards. {{spoiler|Then we shift back to Yuugi and Gekko, who has just lost and thus prevented Yuugi from being able to advance and rescue Anzu. Ouch.}}
* [[
* [[Necromantic]]: Yako.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Tilla, who refers to her Vampire's Curse card as her "master" and [[Kiss of the Vampire|allows it to suck her blood to grow stronger]]. (That's right - the ''holographic vampire actually bites her.'' You can see the bite marks in her neck if you look closely.)
