** Romin is gifted a Duel-Guitar by Yuga for use in both music and dueling, which also holds a snack dispenser for when she gets hungry.

* SoLastSeason: Maximum Monsters. In the first season they were a big driving force in further evolving Rush Duels, but during the second season, they’ve so far been defeated nearly every time they’re used [[spoiler:and have been overshadowed by Fusion Monsters]], with only a single duel having been won by a Maximum monster (the debut of a new one in Yuga's possession), and every other duel using them either being a loss for the user or having them be ultimately ineffective.

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Yuga, Luke, Rayne, Rino, the Heavy Machinery Duel Club and Sebastian spend most of episode 82 planning to restore Swirly’s victims memories by reenacting the events. But not only are their plans not effective, but [[spoiler: it turns out that Swirly also brainwashed Gavin into his lackey in addition to the memory wipe]].

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The world is one with advanced AIs being common in all sectors of life, yet the main cast only seems to use more mundane technology in comparison, barring [[GadgeteerGenius Yuga.]]
* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: CGI is used for certain Aces as in previous entries.

* CheatersNeverProsper: Arata stoops to cheating in both his duels, and is always on the losing side despite the advantage.

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Luke. Despite his arguments, he's the best duelist at his school simply due to [[MundaneSolution hard]] [[BoringButPractical work]].[[note]]It's later revealed that he's the second best; he's never [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter yet to defeat his sister Tiger]].[[/note]]

** While Kakoko and Nick were busy dueling both Luke and Romin wear busy eating the gigantic sweets made by Kakoko.

* LighterAndSofter: Easily the lightest ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' series so far. An outwardly bright and cheerful story and setting with the caveat that its MegaCorp has achieved authoritarian power so extensive that society follows its directives with little protest. The primary conflicts in the story thus far only amounts to the company trying to destroy the Rush Duel format.

* SignatureMon: The main protagonists all possess one as is series tradition.

** Luke: Rush Dragon Dragears

* AbortedArc: The series seems to setup [[spoiler: Yuga Goha]] as a major villain, but after the effects of his use of Monster Reborn on the main cast are reversed, he drops in relevance and pulls a hasty HeelFaceTurn, and the BigBad crown switches to [[spoiler: Otes]]. His minions, the Ladybug ninjas, also hav no further relevance even though they were hinted to have ulterior motives.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As is the norm in this franchise.

* UnspokenPlanGaurantee: Yuga, Luke, Rayne, Rino, the Heavy Machinery Duel Club and Sebastian spend most of episode 82 planning to restore Swirly’s victims memories by reenacting the events. But not only are their plans not effective, but [[spoiler: it turns out that Swirly also brainwashed Gavin into his lackey in addition to the memory wipe]].

* AffirmativeActionGirl: Female characters from the previous series were often not given as much opportunity to duel as the main protagonist. SEVENS breaks this trend by having the main female character duel more while progressively introducing more female characters into the cast. Some standouts include:

* SoLastSeason: Downplayed with Maximum Monsters. In the first season they were a big driving force in further evolving Rush Duels, but during the second season, they’ve so far been defeated nearly every time they’re used [[spoiler:and have been overshadowed by Fusion Monsters]]. Despite this, they still remain relevant to the plot, with Yuga’s Vast Vulcan undergoing a MidSeasonUpgrade into Super Magiflag Ship Magnum Over Road, which helped him win the same duel it debuted in.

* TimedMission: A number of the show's early "Rush Duel" are conducted while the characters have to finish within an external time limit. The circumstances combined with the "Rush Duel's" rules makes a Duel very short, usually lasting no more than four turns total.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Yuga is subject to this when Neiru manages to implement a new summoning method in a vacant spot in the "Rush Duel" program, which Yuga acknowledges he left purposefully.

* InsaneTrollLogic: The AI robots working in Neiru Saionji's Garden of Providence all have their own eccentric and wacky interpretations of what providence means to them. Neiru himself takes this UpToEleven, often [[YourAnswerToEverything linking whatever facet of life imaginable to providence.]]

* BreakingOldTrends: Yuga's ace monster, Sevens Road Magician, is the first among the main protagonists to not have 2500 ATK, instead possessing only 2100 ATK, while also being te first to explicitly have an ATK boosting effect. Main rival Roa's ace monster, Royal Demon's Heavymetal, likewise only has 2500 ATK instead of 3000.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While the antagonists try to destroy the Rush Duel format, the bosses so far have been fair in their approach against Yuga. For example, Nail put himself to five penalties when he fought Yuga as otherwise it wouldn't mean anything if he won with nothing on the line, in the same token Asana waited for a rematch against Yuga until he got his hands on another Maximum Monster wanting a fair fight. Then there is [[spoiler: even Yuo Goha who even though is a manupultive CardCarryingVillian even he found his brother Goha Yuga's violent and sadistic tendencies and wanting to use the brainwashing Monster Reborn card to be excessive.]]
