* UnskilledButStrong: Yami Marik almost entirely relies on how overpowered Ra is, and the fact that nobody can actually use it against him due to their inability to control it. When it comes down it, he may be the weakest villain of all in terms of actual dueling skill. This is arguably [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in the sense that Marik's primary goal is simply to torture his opponents, meaning that ''actually winning'' a duel is not his top priority.

* SignatureMon: The Winged Dragon of Ra is not only the card he's associated with the most, the card also has the strongest association with Dark Marik than with any other character. Another monster that is labeled as a secondary Signature Monster of his in other media is Lava Golem, a powerful monster that takes two sacrifices to Special Summon itself to the opponents field and inflict damage on the controller. Lava Golem represents Dark Marik's twisted, sadistic nature and his love for torture as well as his tendency to use cards that directly affect the opponent in a Game of Darkness.

* SignatureMon: His own version of Black Magician, which also happens to have different colors than the one Yugi uses, regardless of the medium. His deck uses numerous support cards for Black Magician, which makes him a significant character for the Black Magician archetype's history. His mistreatment of his Black Magician is the final nail in the coffin of showcasing that he's not a "true duelist", just as Dark Yugi has been telling him. In ''Duel Links'', his version of Black Magician can only have his summoning animation triggered by only Pandora, and Pandora cannot trigger the summoning animations of the other versions of Black Magician.
