* DeathIsCheap: Hello, all you people who sent Juudai over the DespairEventHorizon halfway through Season Three. Good to know you were all just [[DragonBallZ trapped in another dimension]].
* DeathIsDramatic: Season Three. At least until you find out DeathIsCheap.

** Then there's the second episode, where Syrus speculates that maybe he and Jaden were destined to meet, with them being reincarnations of an [[YuGiOh ancient Egyptian pharaoh and his loyal priest, Seto]]. Jaden considers the whole scenario to be ridiculous.

* PhlebotinumBreakdown: Saiou fails at brainwashing Juudai. Instead, he loses the ability to see Duel Monster spirits and his cards. [[IGotBetter He gets better]].

[[{{Spinoff}} Ten years after]] ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', ''Duel Monsters'' has skyrocketed in popularity all around the world, to the point where [[SeriousBusiness dueling is a professional spectator sport of equal importance to politics and the economy]]. Like any other athletes, duelists start training at a young age, and a good place to start is Seto Kaiba's boarding school, Duel Academia, a high school where kids come to learn how to duel with dreams of [[ToBeAMaster becoming the next King of Games]].

''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' is the story of some students' adventures thwarting the plans of several different [[BigBad Big Bads]] and dealing with the dueling school in general. It particularly focus on Juudai Yuki (Jaden Yuki in the dub), a [[AlmightyJanitor Osiris Red student]] who happens to be TheHero and Yugi's replacement protagonist, and his friends and rivals.

It was followed by YuGiOh5Ds. Juudai also appears in the ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie}}'' that [[BatFamilyCrossover teams him up with Yugi and Yusei.]]

The school is divided into three dorms named after the [[OlympusMons ancient Egyptian cards]]: the opulent Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and the lowest, the run-down Osiris Red. [[hottip: *: these reputations correspond to Kaiba's opinions of the monsters]]

*** No, it's obviously based on the Carbuncle summon from the FinalFantasy series.

Before continuing, it is very important for readers to note that the [[AdaptationDistillation manga]] completely differs in plot and CharacterDevelopment (especially Juudai) from [[AnimeFirst the anime that came before it]].

Several years after ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', the Duel Monsters card game has skyrocketed in popularity in their world, to the point where dueling is a professional spectator sport, of equal importance to politics and the economy. Like any other athletes, duelists start training at a young age, and a good place to start is Seto Kaiba's boarding school, Duel Academia, a high school where kids come to learn how to duel with dreams of [[ToBeAMaster becoming the next King of Games]]. The school is divided into three dorms named after the ancient Egyptian cards, whose reputations correspond to Kaiba's opinions of the monsters: the opulent Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and the lowest, the run-down Osiris Red.

TheHero is Juudai Yuki (Jaden Yuki in the dub), Yugi's replacement protagonist. He doesn't have a Millennium Item, but he does have the power to see and communicate with the spirits of real monsters, and eventually a [[SuperpoweredEvilSide sinister alter ego]]. Other main characters include:
[[hardline]]
TheRival and WorthyOpponent, Jun Manjoume (U.S. dub name: Chazz Princeton), who was demoted from Obelisk to Osiris and wears a black trenchcoat instead of a school uniform; to his annoyance, he also has the power to see and hear monster spirits. The reason it's "to his annoyance" is because the primary spirits he deals with are [[SmallAnnoyingCreature the Ojama Trio]], three rather disgusting and tactless monsters; he's actually fond of them but will admit it under no circumstances.
* He gets significantly better treatment in the manga: Instead of the Ojamas, his spirit ally is the Light and Darkness Dragon, whose power even scares the BigBad.

Juudai's best friend and sidekick, Sho Marufuji (U.S. name: Syrus Truesdale), whose feelings for his friend toe the line between brotherly and HoYay (if anything, this is [[DubText exaggerated by several lines of dialogue in the dub]], and has netted him rivals for Juudai's attention/affection in the form of Tyranno Kenzan and Overseas Champion Johan Andersen); he has unquestionably had the most CharacterDevelopment of all the characters, symbolized by his promotion to a higher dorm every season.

Asuka Tenjoin (U.S. name: Alexis Rhodes), the [[CoolBigSis kind and pretty]] "Queen of Obelisk Blue" [[FauxActionGirl (sorta)]] and Juudai's closest thing to a heterosexual love interest (as well as [[PlatonicLifePartners the Grace to Ryou Marufuji's Will]]). Also, Manjoume and just about [[HelloNurse every other boy in school has HUGE crushes on her]] (two have dueled Juudai out of sheer jealousy of her admiration for him), to the great delight of [[TheMatchmaker her older brother Fubuki]]... and to Asuka's own despair.

Ryo Marufuji (U.S. name: Zane Truesdale), Sho's AloofBigBrother, who goes by his nickname, the Kaiser; once the best of the best, he had a [[FreakOut serious breakdown]] after losing a duel to Edo Phoenix.

Tyranno Kenzan (U.S. name: Tyranno Hassleberry), introduced in Season 2, a dinosaur-obsessed student with actual "dino DNA" flowing through his veins from an accident (and for some reason fancies himself a wannabe Army drill instructor in the dub). Originally fought with Sho over Juudai's attention (and affection), but quickly found a new rivalry with fellow fossil enthusiast Jim "Crocodile" Cook in Season 3.

For more details, see the [[Characters/YuGiOhGX Character Sheet]].

''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' is the story of these students' adventures thwarting the plans of several different [[BigBad Big Bads]]:

* WingedUnicorn: Jesse's [[{{yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_Beast_Sapphire_Pegasus}} Sapphire Pegasus]].

* Woolseyism: Yes, the dub did manage one. The "Bio Bands" and "Survival Duels" in the dub were known as ''"Death Belts"'' and ''"Disclosure (seems benign, until you realize it's a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of death) Duels''". (called Dis-Duels in ''Tag Force 2'') God knows why the Faculty weren't tipped off to the true nature of Cobra's actions when he pitched the idea in that version.
** That's easy. Because the Disclosure Duels had already been held in West School where Cobra worked before and nothing had went wrong there. O'Brien even mentions that the effects are different.
