Mary Sue is Flame Bait, and even then its Trope Misuse. Very few people know about the Melodious cards. Most assume he just uses Anti Meta cards, hence the "No Bond" issue.

* DidntSeeThatComing: One of the sources of drama in this fanfic is the deviations in canon from what Jamie knows of the GX World and canon. When it deviates, doubly so when it can affect his life on campus, Jamie finds himself in some serious trouble. In one chapter, Jamie creates an Obelisk Force to be ready to battle off the Light of Destruction and the Society of Light, masking it as giving the Obelisks a means to remember why they are the elites of the school. But come chapter 42, Everyone's deck improves tremendously, and they start to think they have the means to take on Jamie's Melodious monsters with new cards that are twice as powerful as GX canon and are much easier to summon with better protection to boot; creating more stress than he needs to deal with when the Society of Light will start up soon.

* MarySue: The trope itself is played with and zigzags through the fic. On the one hand, Jamie immediately rises to the top, rivaling Zane Truesdale, gets to date Alexis Rhodes and wins his matches just by using simplistic and cheap strategies it doesn't occur other students to go ahead and use. Furthermore, his special deck is a Melodious deck which earns him victories solely by means of having protection effects not easily available during the time of GX. However, Jamie's presence alone causes dimensional anomalies, the students at the school think he's a world-class asshole (aside from Jaden and co.) with no bonds to his cards, and feels the same fear other students do during the duels. Finally, his knowledge of canon events gets him a little ways; but as soon as the world changes, he's aware he's in deep shit. Doubly so as of late when everybody gets a major deck upgrade, meaning his Melodious monsters aren't going to be as impregnable as he hoped, he doesn't know what exactly his opponents will have against him (Kagemaru's predaplants alone were quite different) and events not changing far from GX canon is adding a lot more stress to him than he anticipated he would have.

A competitive player of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' card game finds himself reincarnated as a boy who’s about to attend Duel Academy named Jamie Lancaster after dying, and living within the world of Yu-Gi-Oh. Taking his identity, Jamie proceeds to adapt to the strange circumstances and live a second life, believing he can use his knowledge of the series as well as his past life to breeze his way through life. However, Jamie soon realizes that this world isn’t completely identical to the show, and finds out that, with his presence weakening the barriers between dimensions, he’ll be in for unexpected twists after all.

* AdaptationalKarma: In the show, Kagemaru got off with nothing but having his back accidentally broken by Jaden when defeated. Here, after losing to Jaden and Jamie, he crumbles to dust and dies upon being defeated.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Both of the Truesdale's are affected by this. Zane is much less stoic than he is canon, while Syrus is an extreme pervert in the story.
* BigBadEnsemble: As of the second year, Jamie finds himself needing to deal with Yubel, Sartorius and The Light of Destruction, Tragoedia, and Hank Ishtar.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Jamie's duel against Chazz, where the latter is utterly destroyed against him.
** Bastion's duel against Wheeler. As soon as Bastion figured Wheeler used a beast deck, he picked what he believed to be the best counter, resulting in a duel where Wheeler never gets the upper hand.
** Bastion and Jamie find themselves on the receiving end of this when they duel 2 on 1 against Seto Kaiba. Despite their advantage, Kaiba wins with little difficulty, losing only 1000 life points during the whole duel.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** As mentioned above, Kagemaru dies upon being defeated, crumbling into dust in a manner similar to Banner.
** The aforementioned Banner doesn't have his soul survive after being defeated by Jaden like in canon, where only his body was destroyed.
* LoveTriangle: Jamie finds himself attracted to both Alexis Rhodes and Erin Reid, who are both attracted to him as well. [[spoiler: Eventually, Jamie starts to date Alexis while he and Erin remain friends.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Zane and Jamie become this after they duel.
