* CovertPervert: Yugi -- he is shown imagining someone's panties after hearing what Tea has to say about boys peeking up girls' skirts while playing basketball. Even in the Millennium World Arc they're still exchanging videos... [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yu_gi_oh_millennium_world/v01/c003/12.html Manga link]]
* TheCorruption: Multiple instances with various characters. The entire Doma arc works on this.

* PlotTumor: the card game grows in importance in later chapters, until practically consuming all of the script.

** To be fair, it's much more contiguous in the manga. Also note that the villains of the second series utilize such magic, while Yami Yugi's magic is toned down to s family-friendly version of the Mind Crush. Another thing to note is that it's never explained why Yami Yugi stops using them, while in the manga there's actually an [[CharacterDevelopment explanation]] why he decides to stop using Penalty Games after Duelist Kingdom.

The first YuGiOh anime series (also known as [[FanNickname Season 0]]) was an anime Series created by Toei Animated based on the first 7 chapters of the [[Manga/YuGiOh YuGiOh manga]]. It tells the story from a time before the card game had any importance, and a little bit afterwards.

** To elaborate, she was only used in one chapter in the manga as a love interest to Tristan (who promptly shot him down when he asked to be her boyfriend). She was used more in the anime to help fill out the girl quota though at best she mostly a SatelliteCharacter. YuGiOhAbridged (when it focuses on the Season 0 series) hilariously lampshades this by hardly having her speak and when she does it a very over the top voice that the other characters bluntly ignore.

** The same goes for Yugi. He is nice and weak,until his psychotic side wakes up.

The first YuGiOh anime series (also known as [[FanNickname Season 0]]) was an anime Series created by Toei Animated based on the first 7 chapters of YuGiOh manga. It tells the story from before the Card game had any importance, and a little bit afterwards.

It was eventually replaced by [[Anime/YuGiOh the second anime series]], which prefers to skip all the first parts of the YuGiOh manga [[PlotTumor in favor of focusing only on the Card Game arcs]]. Nevertheless, the second series [[BroadStrokes does make some nods to these one which can only be fully understood if you've watched it]].

The second anime series explains very little of these plots, with a good reason: before duel monsters entered in, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness this series was completely different]], bordering more a G-Rated {{Saw}} than YuGiOh. For this exact same reason, both series can complement quite well without feeling you are watching the same twice. (at least, until it gets to duel monsters)

It's also worth noticing that many things created by these series were later used as inspiration for later chapters, like the more common presence of Seto Kaiba as a villain. It's also worth notice that this encarnation of Seto Kaiba is what inspired Noa, the BigBad from the 3 season of the second season.

It Spawned a 30 minutes OVA, a few video games and [[TabletopGame/YuGiOhCarddasVersion a card game created by Bandai]]. (which would later be replaced as well by [[TabletopGame/YuGiOh the newer card game]])

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: A dark series about a weak and pathethic boy whose darker side wakes up to brutally punish those who inflicted pain to him by using demonic magic ([[MagicPrerequisite which requires a victory in an unspecific game to activate]]) ... [[SarcasmMode it totally sounds like a series about a children cards game]].
