History FanFic / YuGiOhForever

** At the end of the Intercontinental arc, Yugo jokes that [[spoiler:Blaze and Wade]] bicker so much that they should just get married and be done with it. [[spoiler:At the end of the story, TheyDo]].

''Forever'' is notable on the site for being 321 chapters (and a grand total of 1,006,940 words) in length and having, as of this update (November 22, 2013), 1,551 reviews, 224 favorite-listings by other authors, and 59 follows by said authors ''and still counting''. It is also known for having a large cast (the majority of them being [[OriginalCharacters characters created specifically for the story]]) and several ContinuityNod moments, and for adhering to the rules of the real-world ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' card game as opposed to the card game rules in the anime and manga.

** Don't ever dismiss Miki as a weakling or, much more seriously, hint at being suicidal around her. [[spoiler:She gave Jenna an ArmorPiercingSlap and a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan speech for the latter]].

* {{Bishonen}}: The majority of the male characters are supposed to be this, given the explicit description of each character's looks at the beginning of the chapter when they first appear in the story.

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready: A LOT of stuff that gets mentioned in this series is stuff that fans who’ve watched the older series would know about by now.

It is also known for having LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters (the majority of them being [[OriginalCharacters characters created specifically for the story]]) and several ContinuityNod moments, and for adhering to the rules of the real-world ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' card game as opposed to the card game rules in the anime and manga.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* WriterOnBoard
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many of the characters have realistic hair colors, thereby averting this trope. Others play it straight, such as Marcus, whose hair is silver despite him being 19 years old, and Jan Shimizu, whose hair is aqua-colored and isn't said to be dyed. Subverted with Seta, Wade, Michael Bronte, and ''Eternal's'' Diane Chill, whose hair colors (blue, green, purple, and light blue, respectively) ''are'' actually dyed, and stated as such in their introductory biographies.
** In ''Eternal'', there's Jessica Phoenix, who has gray hair despite being 15 years old (WordOfGod says she's basically a female Aster Phoenix, who in the story is her father).

* ThemeDeck: Every. Single. Duelist. No exception.

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Throughout the story, Yugo has a way of doing this with the majority of his opponents, including Seta Kaiba (who wields an advanced version of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon strategy), Malachi Jordan (Intercontinental champion and Ax Crazy at the time), and Keisuke Odachi (the chief villain of the JUDAS arc who wielded the revived God Cards). This would probably make him a [[MarySue Gary Stu]]-like character, were it not for the fact that he's got ''[[BrokenAce serious]]'' [[WellDoneSonGuy issues]] [[ParentalAbandonment wrestling]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast with]].

The story chronicles the adventures of Yugo Muto, the son of legendary duelist Yugi Muto, following his first meeting with Seta Kaiba, son of business mogul Seto Kaiba. The Kaibas have just returned to Domino City after several years of being absent from there, and Seta is assigned to Yugo's school. As did their fathers before them, the two boys quickly develop a rivalry for their shared passion, the famous Duel Monsters card game, but they also discover that, in terms of their motivations to surpass the legacies their fathers left behind, they're really NotSoDifferent.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The match-up of Seta's Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon versus Jenna's Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon in the Dueltropolis quarter-finals embodies this trope.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2388268/1/bYuGiOh_b_bForever_b Yu-Gi-Oh! Forever]]'' is a {{Continuation}} NextGenFic created by troper Tropers/JusticeReaper on Website/FanFictionDotNet, posted under his username there, Neon Majestic (and first written when his username at the time was ''neomage''). It is set over a decade after the end of the first ''Anime/YuGiOh'' series, and also treats ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' as canon (albeit with some minor changes in the time-line).

* CardGames: [[CaptainObvious You]] [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready think]]?

* GenerationXerox: Hand in hand with the {{Expy}} trope above, since the story deals with the children (or apprentices) of the canon series' characters and how they deal with each other. For example, Yugo Muto and Seta Kaiba are expert duelists like their fathers Yugi and Seto; Jenna Wheeler is hot-blooded like her father Joey; Kyo Bakura is methodical like his father Ryou; and Miki Taylor is gentle-spirited like her mother Serenity. Non-family examples include Marcus Ironside, who is "Bandit" Keith Howard's military subordinate, likewise uses Machine-type monsters as his mentor did and is also a major-grade JerkAss (though he later becomes a JerkWithAHeartOfGold), and Wade Ocean utilizes water-themed monsters and is cheerful and jovial but also lost a loved one in his back-story, just as his teacher Mako Tsunami did. A prominent exception is Flora Green, who utilizes Insect-type and Plant-type monsters like her mentor Weevil Underwood, but unlike him she is pleasant and polite ([[CaptainObvious and a girl]]).

* NeverSayDie: Averted, averted, averted.

--> ''Chapter 274, Blaze Redman and Wade Ocean discuss Miki during her duel with Yugo''
--> '''Blaze:''' I dare say, Miki's definitely improved since the Kaibacorp Challenge Cup.
--> '''Wade:''' Yeah. Back then she was just a shy little girl who just barely managed to get into that tournament...and now, look at how developed her skill has gotten.

* ChekhovsSkill: Marcus’s past experience in the military, mentioned during the [=KaibaCorp=] Challenge Cup and JUDAS arcs, comes in handy during the final arc. [[spoiler:[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome He commandeers a helicopter and flies it to Tokyo Dome, where he then shoots the]] BigBad [[MoreDakka with the chopper’s mounted Gatling guns]]]].

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The match-up of Seta's Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon versus Jenna's Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon in the Dueltropolis quarter-finals [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome embodies this trope]].

* SoProudOfYou: In one of the story's [[CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming most touching moments]], Zane essentially informs Natasha of this in Chapter 286, as well as apologizes for [[WellDoneSonGuy his role in her self-esteem issues]].
