** Yuya has been nicknamed "Tomato Head" by many. Once again, such a name needs no explanation.
*** Posts with Yuya being sad, uncomfortable or upset are often tagged as wilting/rotting tomato, and posts of him injured are "bruised tomato".
** The Dark Duelist Yuto is also referred to as the Goth Duelist, Eggplant, Eggyuya, Purple Kotori, or Dark Yuya. As of Episode 35 and the duel splash screen that renders his name as "Ute", the less-serious nickname "yoot yoot" has also been making rounds.
*** Due to the infamous "Duel with Smiles" scene, some fans started calling him "Mr. Egao" or "egaoplant".
** Immediately after his appearance without [[EyeObscuringHat the helmet]] was revealed, fans started calling Yugo "Banana Head" due to his bangs, or "blueberry-banana" in reference to his entire hairdo.
** The alternate Yuzus are known as Fuzu (Serena), Xyuzu (Ruri), and Synczu (Rin). Yuzu herself is usually named "the citrus" (which her name literally means), to go with the tomato.

** The Raid Raptors/Raidraptors are called "[=RuriRaptor=]", or "[=RaidRuris=]" by the fans, due to Kurosaki's obsession of rescuing his sister. Kurosaki's picked up the nickname of "the imoutoman" in some circles, for the same reason. Revolution Falcon on the other hand, given its MO, has earned the nickname of "carpet bombing", to the point that fans will often jokingly denounce Raidraptor decks without it as not having enough carpet bombing.
** People has nicknamed Yuya and his counterparts from each dimension the "Yu Squad". Another one is "[=Yu4=]" and the "Dragon Boys" since them having dragons as ace monsters.
*** Related to that people have named Yuzu and her counterparts the "Bracelet Girls" due to [[ShapedLikeItself their bracelets and them being girls]]
** Whenever Yuya or his counterparts use their SuperpoweredEvilSide, everyone calls this their "Berserk Mode" or "Berserker Mode".

** The Obelisk Force have picked up the fairly accurate nickname "Jobelisk Force", due to the fact that they keep jobbing to the important characters.
** Rin got the nickname green cabbage or apple when her design was released. Apple is more common, as it fits to Yugo's "Banana".
*** Her or Yugo's D-Wheel are also called "Rin-Go" by the fans, as it is a pun to "Ringo" which means "apple" in Japanese. "Rin-Go" literally means "Unit Rin".
** Due to Sawatari calling himself "New Sawatari" and "Neo New Sawatari", fans tend to extend his name to make it more ridiculous.
** Roget [[{{Expy}} resembling]] [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Go]][[ItsPronouncedTroPay odwin]] earned him the nickname "Frenchwin".
