** In the dub version of episode 36, Jaden mentions he has dueling crushes in his deck and says "they bring loads of luck". Considering his deck contained one female at the time... though it's possible that Jaden is oblivious to the idea of what is considered a ''crush'' and instead just has an admiration for the monsters in his deck.

Added DiffLines:

** That said, this isn't really Jaden's fault per-say, since he never told any of the students to slack off alongside himself. Given how old his classmates are, they should already know better than to be lazy when their current ability isn't enough to compensate for poor grades. Likewise, said speech completely ignores Stien's own failings as a teacher, namely his dull teaching style and lack of of disciplinary action.
** Furthermore, considering how several students like Chumley end up doing better specifically because of Jaden's unorthodox influence, a case can be made against this. In fact, alongside Chazz and Alexis, Syrus even becomes the class valedictorian by the end.

Judai/Jaden was never "normal". The guy could see Duel Monster spirits after all.


* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Whatever he went through in the gap between seasons after he fused with Yubel caused Jaden to return to the academy much stronger and much stranger.

* TheAce: Aside from [[BrilliantButLazy school work]], Jaden is this. To note, he is a prodigy duelist, an athletic, possesses mystical abilities, can operate several vehicles, and is capable with a computer.

** Furthermore, WordOfGod states that Jaden was incapable of defeating someone like [[StrongButUnskilled Yami Marik]] until season 3, despite already besting a duplicate Winged Dragon of Ra in season 2. And unlike Yugi/Yami, this was done without another God card or a specific card to counter Ra's abilities.

* BlitheSpirit: Everyone is bewildered by Jaden being a great duelist in spite of his incredibly laid-back attitude and poor grades when other students work their butts off to get into the academy and get the recognition he has.

In fact, they seemed to have kept in touch after graduating Duel Academy, if ''Bonds Beyond Time'' is any indication.



* TookALevelInCynic: He becomes more cynical, distant, and brooding this season due to the trauma he underwent at Dark world, and is unable to enjoy dueling like he did in the past. He gradually starts to come out of it during his tag duel with Alexis and by the end of the series he manage to snap out of this trope and completely recovered his joy and passion towards dueling after his duel with Yugi,

Added DiffLines:

* NoSenseOfDirection: After gaining the Neo-Spacians and returning to Duel Academy, he ends up lost in the woods and nearly starved to death. Showcasing just how bad this is, Syrus was able to make several trips in the woods while managing to return to the dorm with no problem whenever he looked there for him and Wheeler outright tried to point him in the direction of Duel Academy, while also showing that the huge academy building is visible from the woods yet despite this it took Jaden days if not ''weeks'' to make his return. Not to mention the fact the school is on an '''island''' meaning that he could have easily found his way out if he simply went a single direction and followed the edges.

** He has also more than a few references to Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader during the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequels. Specifically both Jaden and Anakin start out well-meaning, but their fear of losing loved ones are exploited to twist them into tyrannical [[BlackKnight dark figures]] complete with the black armor and SuperNaturalGoldEyes.

* SelectiveObliviousness: He seems ignorant of the dislike that other individuals have for him, as despite the obvious tension on their part, he considers himself to be good friends with Chazz and Aster. That said, it is possible that Jaden is actually correct to assume this, considering the similarities to Yugi's relationship with Kaiba.
