* PaletteSwap: In accordance with their remember theming, the Memento monsters are Aztec-themed redesigns of famous Yu-Gi-Oh monsters.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Madolche Queen Tiaramisu and Puddingcess.

* TookALevelInBadass: When Crossed Souls got released, Puddingcess got an Xyz mode called Chocolate a la Mode. She can shuffle Madolche monsters back into the deck and can Special Summon another Madolche to the field.

* EnemyMine: The artwork of "Ghost Meets Girl - A Masterful Mayakashi Shiranui Saga" shows Yoko and Squire teaming up to beat Yuki-Onna.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: "Shiranui Squire" and "Dakki, the Graceful Mayakashi" used to be friends, as seen in the artwork of Ghost Meets Girl - A Shiranui's Story. They clash with each other as "Shiranui Skillsaga Supremacy" and "Yoko, the Graceful Mayakashi", respectively.

* CoolGuns:
** Maftea, a magical, living pistol that can transform into a gatling gun and a cannon.
** Clavkiys wields a powerful sniper rifle in the artwork of Magikey Avatar – Astartu. It's so powerful, energy is gathering at the tip of the barrel.

* BeastOfBattle: In the artwork of Ansyalabolas, the titular beast acts as Clavkiys's mount. Due to Ansyalabolas's ferocity, Clavkiys struggles to keep it under control. According to the card lore, Ansyalabolas is just a copy of the original.

* LightIsGood: Stargazer Magician is clad in white and is good, even though he's a DARK monster.

* PlantPerson: Like the Plant Princesses, Bloom Diva the Floral Melodious Saint's upper body is sprouting out of a flower. Despite this, she's not a Plant-Type monster.

** Although, she only has 1000 ATK, Bloom Diva's immunity to destruction and her ability to destroy Special Summoned monsters and inflict damage equal to the difference between their original ATK makes her dangerous.

The archetype primarily revolves around their boss monster, Mementoral Tectolica, the Netherskull Dragon: a Level 11 EARTH Wyrm with 5000 ATK/DEF, with many cards in the archetype either having effects that support it directly, or can only be activated while it is on the field.

* AntiMagic: Netherskull Temple prevents your opponent from activating Spells and Traps while a Memento monster is battling.
* BackFromTheDead: As long as there are at least five different Memento monsters in the Graveyard to return to the Deck, Tectolica can keep on Special Summoning itself from the Graveyard as well as the hand. Tectolica can also do much the same for any Memento monster in the hand or Graveyard if your opponent activates a card or effect.
* HerdHittingAttack: Tectolica is capable of attacking each monster the opponent controls once each if it's the only friendly monster on the field. The Quick-Play Spell Bone Party can also banish itself from the Graveyard to grant a Memento monster [[ArmorPiercingAttack piercing damage]] that turn.

* AttackAttackAttack: Doorway of the Celestial Mikanko forces your opponent to attack any monster you control that has an Equip Card. On the other side of the field, it can let your battling Mikanko monster make a consecutive attack on an enemy monster by getting rid of an Equip Card on your field.

* {{Miko}}: "The Great Mikanko of Legend" implies that both Ha-Re and Ni-Ni started off as these.

* DugTooDeep: Myutant Mutant shows it apparently being discovered or excavated, possibly overlapping with SealEvilInACan but there's no way to be sure.

* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: The archetype consists of ever-evolving bioweapon-like organisms. The Fusions are seen being created through the weaker Myutants escaping captivity and contacting eachother.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As referenced in the artwork of "By Order of the Emperor", "Caius" may be a leader over all the other Monarchs. As further evidence of this, Caius's effect is arguably the strongest, being able to target any card on the field, while most other Monarchs have restrictions on what their effects can target, and they only destroy their targets while Caius banishes his. Also, Caius shares his name with UsefulNotes/{{Augustus}}, the first Roman Emperor, and his uncle UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar. The artwork of "The Dominion of the Legendary Monarch" appears to establish Erebus as the leader, as the original six Monarchs are shown kneeling to him. Caius may therefore be his [[TheDragon second-in-command]].

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: When Final Sigma is in the Extra Monster and is battling another monster, it deals double battle damage. Back this up with ATK-modifying effects from the other Mathmech cards and you can one-shot the opponent!

* ShipTease: Xiangke Magician and Xiangsheng Magician symbolize the bond between Yuya and Yuzu, as both share the same faces with Yuya and Yuzu, and they wear clothes themed after two Pendulum Dragon monsters used by Yuya. Xiangsheng Magician is Rune-Eyes themed, since Yuya created this card with Yuzu's Polymerization. And Xiangke Magician is Beast-Eyes themed, since Beast-Eyes was created by Yuya's own way of fusioning, who lacks a Polymerization card. Stragely though, these cards support ''Xyz Summons'' instead of Fusion Summons.

* AttackAttackAttack: Shooting Majestic Star Dragon gains additional attacks each Battle Phase for every monster in your graveyard that is Stardust Dragon or is a Synchro Monster with Stardust Dragon in its text.

** When tributed, Majestic Star Dragon destroys all cards your opponent controls.
** If it attacks, Majestic Red Dragon destroys all defense position monsters on the field.

** Converging Wills Dragon's name is based on the summoning chant commonly used by Yusei in the ''5D's'' anime. A similar case with Shooting Majestic Star Dragon, whose name seemingly originates from the chant for Shooting Star Dragon.
** The artwork for Arrive in Light is based off the Synchro Summoning animation of a Majestic monster using Majestic Dragon in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, with the card’s first effect being a reference to the Crimson Dragon adding Majestic Dragon to Yusei and Jack's decks in the anime when they were in dire situations. Meanwhile, its name is based on Yusei's summoning chant for Majestic Star Dragon.

* NoSell:
** Their effects largely revolve around negating those of opposing monsters.
** Majestic Red Dragon cannot be destroyed by card effects.
* PowerCopying: Once per turn, by negating the effects of a face-up monster your opponent controls until the end of the turn, Majestic Star Dragon can activate one of the targeted monster's effects as its own.
* StatusBuff: Once per turn, by negating the effects of a face-up monster your opponent controls until the end of the turn, Majestic Red Dragon gains ATK equal to that monster's ATK until the end of the turn.

* PowerWalk: [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/File:MarchoftheMonarchs-SR01-EN-C-1E.png March of the Monarchs]] is a [[OutOfTheInferno particularly badass one]]. Doubles as UnflinchingWalk if the fire behind them is caused by an explosion.

* TookALevelInBadass: Mega-Monarchs are higher level versions of the Monarchs, both trope-wise and in-universe. "Emperor of Lightning" is the ultimate form of Zaborg; "Emperor of Lightning" is another name for "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch", as Monarchs are called Emperors in the OCG.

** In the artwork of Prideful Roar, Mobius is only about about a head taller than Breaker, but on Inverse Universe, Mid Shield Gardna barely comes up to his knee.
