History Anime / YuGiOhTenthAnniversaryMovie

** Invoked with Sin World though. In the Japanese version, whoever loses the duel dies. In the dub, whoever loses 'lose their souls!'

* HannibalLecture: Before the climactic duel Paradox gives the heroes one, stating that even before he began to change history there were 'contradictions' such as [[HumansAreBastards environmental destruction, war and human cruelty]], and that their futures are not the right ones. Considering he comes from a BadFuture, it makes sense he feels that way.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Paradox wants to save the future by [[spoiler:experimenting with history in order to find the best possible outcome. He almost ends up destroying reality doing so.]] He also has a HumansAreBastards attitude.

* AnimeHair: Not only the movie has the three protagonists with their amazing hairstyles in one place, but Paradox's hairstyle takes this trope UpToEleven

* FridgeHorror: Since Paradox is implied to have [[spoiler:destroyed Domino City completely]], that would mean that [[spoiler:not only did Yugi's Grandpa die, but EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS FRIENDS as well.]]

* AnimeHair: Not only the movie has the three protagonists with their amazing hairstyles in one place, but Paradox's hairstyle takes this trope BeyondTheImpossible.

** Actually, if you look at it from a Back to the Future viewpoint, it [[FridgeBrilliance makes sense.]] They traveled back in time to the point before the timeline changed, so their cards returned to the way they would be created as the original history states.

* BatFamilyCrossover: Bringing the universes of ''Anime/{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' and ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' together.

* FlatEarthAtheist:
-->Paradox: I come from the future.
-->Yusei (who comes from the future): What's that supposed to mean?

* [=~3D Movie~=]

* [=~Everybody's Dead Dave~=]: Yugi has one of these moments when [[spoiler:he realizes everybody in Domino except himself is dead]].

Featuring the three protagonists of [[Anime/{{Yu-Gi-Oh}} the]] [[Anime/YuGiOhGX three]] [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds series]], they fight against a mysterious man, Paradox, who intends to bring the world down the path of destruction. He first steals Yusei's Stardust Dragon then travels back in time, piling up a good number of... questionable acts on his list in order to realize his goal. The three protagonists eventually get to him, challenging him to the ultimate duel.

* TheOtherDarrin: Two characters had their actors replaced in the dub -- Solomon Mutou (the late MaddieBlaustein to WayneGrayson) and Yubel (Cassandra Morris to Eileen Stevens).

* TheAbridgedSeries: [[LittleKuriboh Little Kuriboh]], creator of [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBzazRsbwb0&feature=channel_video_title abridged]] Bonds Beyond Time. [[YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries With ShadyVox as Jaden]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Only Stardust Dragon's capture was shown on-screen, how Paradox obtained the other dragons was never shown. Jaden calls out Paradox on stealing Rainbow Dragon from Johan, but the plot point was never elaborated on, and the fate of the cards' original owners is not known. When one considers Paradox's methodes, it couldn't have been very plesant.

* CoolBike: Paradox's D-Wheel is capable of [[TimeMachine time travel]] and [[TransformingMecha transformation]]. And it actually looks like something which would complain about being a motorbike in the first place.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Yusei ends up in Jaden's time first, then both of them eventually wind up in Yugi's time. Jaden gushes at Yusei's D-Wheel, and later on both Judai and Yugi are amazed at Yusei's Synchro Summon.

* MeanwhileInTheFuture: After Paradox steals Stardust Dragon and travels back to time, Yusei and co. return to Poppo Time. Aki shows them a photo of Stardust Dragon and Paradox in Venice, who is destroying the city.

* TheCameo: Pegasus, Yugi's grandpa, Crimson Dragon, Jack, Crow, Rua, Ruka, Aki, Daitokuji and Yubel.

* CityOfCanals: Paradox attacks Judai in Venice (more specifically, St. Mark's Square) when the latter goes there to investigate a local issue.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Yusei ends up in Judai's time first, then both of them eventually wind up in Yugi's time. Judai gushes at Yusei's D-Wheel, and later on both Judai and Yugi are amazed at Yusei's Synchro Summon.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Judai provides a [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/JuudaiV.jpg truly spectacular example]], although the British audience would more likely get it. (For those not living in the United Kingdom, TheOtherWiki has an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign#V_sign_as_an_insult explanation]].)
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Yugi goes through one after he realizes that Sugoroku is dead. Hence Dark Yugi taking over for the duration of the duel.]]
** [[spoiler: Yusei himself has a pretty bad one that pushes him to the brink of surrender, coaxed back only by Yugi and Judai, it may or may not have to do with him seen struggling to be on the other side of Stardust from the 5D's openings.]]

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: [[spoiler: Yugi activates a spell card that allows him to take control of one of Paradox's 2 dragons,. Paradox, in return, activates a trap to prevent it from working against Sin Paradox Dragon, the larger, nastier of the pair...just in time to find out that Yugi was going after the other one, Sin Stardust Dragon, the whole time. (Seems to be a problem a number of Yugi's foes run into!)]]

* {{Keigo}}: Yusei, who usually speaks rather informally, uses this when talking to Yugi and Judai.
* InMediasRes: The movie starts in Venice, where Paradox is attacking Judai with his dragons.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The trailers for the Japanese version of the movie spoiled for the dub viewers at the time that Judai [[spoiler:fused with Yubel and gained his/her powers]] and Yusei [[spoiler:became the owner of the Dragon Head birthmark]].

* LeParkour: Judai, somehow managing to get from the top of a column in St. Mark's Square to the roof of a nearby building to avoid the attacks of Rainbow Dragon and Cyber End Dragon.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: [[spoiler:The protagonists are upset by the deaths of Pegasus and Sugoroku, and to a lesser extent, everyone who died to Paradox's attack. To Paradox, on the other hand, the entire massacre was a trivial step to further his experiment. Considering he really didn't care about destroying Venice just to get Judai, it's no surprise.]]

** Invoked with Sin World though. In the Japanese version, whoever loses the duel dies. In the dub, whoever loses 'lose their souls'

* OffModel: Not present in the movie itself (which is animated beautifully) but 4kids did this with the [[http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/19101834/-/EnlargedImage.html English Blu-ray cover of the movie]] (hint: look at Judai's legs).

** To a lesser extent, the three protagonists' Duel Disks. Yuugi's Battle City disk, Juudai's Duel Academy disk, and the disk from Yuusei's D-Wheel all work flawlessly with each other.

* TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Yusei telling Judai what's happening [[HowDoIUsedTense right now in the future]]. The three protagonists are also confused when all three of them come together.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Only Stardust Dragon's capture was shown on-screen, how Paradox obtained the other dragons was never shown. Judai calls out Paradox on stealing Rainbow Dragon from Johan, but the plot point was never elaborated on, and the fate of the cards' original owners is not known.

* TheAbridgedSeries: [[LittleKuriboh Little Kuriboh]], creator of [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBzazRsbwb0&feature=channel_video_title abridged]] Bonds Beyond Time.

** Jaden: "Paradox, get ready to get your game on!"
** Yusei: "Your twisted time crusade ends here, let's rev it up!"
** Yugi: "I have just one thing to say to you, Paradox. It's time to duel!"

* ContinuityNod: In-universe - The spell card "Ancient Rules," which allows high-leveled monsters (in this case, the Dark Magician) to be summoned without tribute, is a nod to the in-universe game before Kaiba's Battle City Tournament, which did not require tributes at all.

* BoringInvincibleHero: [[spoiler:By the second turn of the game, the protagonists are basically in control of the whole game, with Paradox not doing very much to bring them down.]]

* TheAbridgedSeries: LittleKuriboh and co. [[http://youtu.be/uBzazRsbwb0?hd=1 have completed it.]] [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome We're Yu-Gi-Oh!]]

* TheAbridgedSeries: LittleKuriboh and co. are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DMlGysqqjo already working on it]].

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: [[{{Eyeshield21}} Hiruma]] is a time traveling BigBad ([[DragonballZ Goku]] in the dub...[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} which isn't too new by this point]]).
** [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Yeager]] is one of the ''Sakiyomi [=JumBANG!=]'' pirates.

Featuring the three protagonists of [[{{Yu-Gi-Oh}} the]] [[{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}} three]] [[{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}} series]], they fight against a mysterious man, Paradox, who intends to bring the world down the path of destruction. He first steals Yusei's Stardust Dragon then travels back in time, piling up a good number of... questionable acts on his list in order to realize his goal. The three protagonists eventually get to him, challenging him to the ultimate duel.

* BatFamilyCrossover: Bringing the universes of ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' and ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}}'' together.

** [[{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}} Yeager]] is one of the ''Sakiyomi [=JumBANG!=]'' pirates.

* SpoilerOpening: Not the movie itself, but ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}}'' during the period it promoted the movie with clips inserted into the OP and the ED. It spoiled quite a few things, such as [[spoiler:Pegasus and Sugoroku being killed by the collapsing buildings, and Paradox summoning and fusing with Sin Truth Dragon]].

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: The UK release of the movie under Manga Entertainment has a fully subtitled Japanese version of the film as a bonus feature. Aside from the subtitles using the English names for cards, it is a faithful translation of the original dialogue.
** It's even better when you realise that buying the Japanese version from Japan would set a UK resident back roughly £45[[hottip:*:before shipping...]]
