History FanFic / AGameComesToEquestria

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Guiding Wings]] appears earlier before her debut chapter--she comes to ponyville and asks Yugi for directions to the town hall, who quickly tells her the directions and runs off to join the Mane 5 in [[Recap/TheLastRoundup finding Applejack]].

** GuardianEntity: [[spoiler: Guiding Wings, AKA Guardian Eatos, just like in [[Anime/YuGiOh her canon source.]]]] She's also this to Princess Celestia and Luna, albeit more out of their friendship and loyal servitude, the latter being detailed in Chapter 20.

* AffectionateNickname: Luna constantly calls and refers to Yugi as "Little Game". Unlike Rainbow Dash's nickname of "Sheep Boy", Yugi likes this nickname.

* YearInsideHourOutside: The flow of time between Yugi's world[[spoiler:, The Beasts' Domain,]] and the Mane Six's world is this. [[spoiler: While years pass by in Equestria, months pass by in the human world, with half of an Equestrian year being half of a month for Yugi's universe.]]

* SummonMagic: The magic that Twilight uses (twice) in the ''Save the Prince'' chapters is this. However, the reason why it doesn't [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever work as planned the first time]] is that the summoning spell is specifically meant to summon monsters for combat, not objects [[spoiler:like the muffin that Twilight summons the first time she uses the spell]]. It is directly implied that the spell [[spoiler: is the same magic used to summon monsters to the field in Yugi's universe, and that she picked it up from ''Yami'' (albeit he told her NOT to even ''try'' it) himself.]]

When completed, it will also be available on DeviantART and Fimfiction.net.

* AllThereInTheManual: Yugi has the nickname of [[spoiler:Firecracker]], but it's only brought up in his AGCTE Bio on the author's DeviantART [[http://webghost.deviantart.com page.]]

* PurpleIsPowerful: Aside from [[PurpleEyes Yugi's eye color]] and [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicTwilightSparkle Twilight Sparkle herself]], [[spoiler: The Element Of Hope's crystal, when re-activated by Yugi, is a deep dark purple]].

* YearInsideHourOutside: The flow of time between Yugi's world[[spoiler:, The Beasts' Domain,]] and the Mane Six's world is this. [[spoiler: While Years pass by in Equestria, Months pass by in the human world, with half of an Equestrian year being half of a month for Yugi's universe.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: The first instance of Yugi [[BurningWithAnger losing his cool]] is this, when he finds out that [[spoiler:Pinkie Pie is acting like she's scared of Luna for fun.]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness He catches this and stops]] when he sees that [[OutOfCharacterMoment he's (actually)]] '''[[OutOfCharacterMoment frightening]]''' [[OutOfCharacterMoment her.]]

** [[spoiler:''Also, it goes the same that, like Pinkie, I'm actually [[FourthWallObserver very aware of]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall the fourth wall to an extent.'']]]]

* PurpleIsPowerful: aside from [[PurpleEyes Yugi's eye color]] and [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicTwilightSparkle Twilight Sparkle herself]], [[spoiler: The Element Of Hope's crystal, when re-activated by Yugi, is a deep dark purple]].

* ArcSymbol: stars/"sparks" seem to be a re-occuring symbol as of current, whether they be stars within the night sky, or stars as apart of or the main focus of a Cutie Mark.

* [[MulticoloredHair MulticoloredMane]]: par for the course for Yugi, albeit it's more fluffed and out of shape. as this trope is also common in Equestria, it isn't seen completely out of the ordinary.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Anyone who has not seen Season Four of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' will be spoiled about Yugi's HeroicSacrifice as early as the very first chapter, along with ''other'' things.

* ThereWasADoor: Yugi arrival at Canterlot Castle had included the small pegasus [[ItMakesSenseInContext crashing through the Castle Wall and smacking Shining Armor right into the adjacent wall]]. Unlike most examples, however, this was unintentional on Yugi's part.
