History Manga / YuGiOh5Ds

* {{Main/Foil}}: Sherry and Kiryu are both duelists Aki faces during the Grand Prix tournament, but they are different in some ways: [[WeUsedToBeFriends Sherry and Aki used to be friends]], which boils over during the tournament, making Sherry rather emotional towards Aki, whereas Kiryu has no history with Aki and is more [[TheStoic emotionless]] towards her. As for their strategies and monsters, Sherry and Kiryu both rely on getting their monsters out at the right conditions to optimize their potentials, but Sherry's monsters do best when her opponent's hand is empty, while Kiryu's show their true worth when their own player's hand is empty, as mentioned in an omake.

* PimpedOutDress: Ran wears one when she joins her and Aki's classmates as spectators of the Grand Prix tournament. As an omake focusing on her explains, her reason for doing so instead of wearing her school uniform as her other classmates do is due to her continued rivalry (in her own mind, anyway) between herself and Aki:

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The effect of Queen Angel of Roses, which destroys the monster with the lowest Attack points at the beginning of its turn, applies to itself as well. During the duel between Aki and Kiryu, it actually ends up destroying itself with said effect because of this, much to the shock and horror of Aki's classmates.

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: Crow's younger brother Yoshi.

** Kiryu is TheStoic, though he becomes more twisted when using Shadow Miasma.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the anime, Yusei, Jack, and Crow were childhood friends. In the manga, they meet each other for the first time.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the anime, Psychic Duelists have the ability to inflict real damage during duels, leading to violent results and them being shunned. Here, they're duelists with literal psychic powers, being able to know cards that normally shouldn't be known (i.e. the cards in an opponent's hand, a card currently facedown, etc.)

* KilledOffscreen: Ish Kiq Godwin.
* LactoseOverLiquor: In one episode, Yusei, the protagonist, goes into a seedy bar somewhere in Neo-Domino City and orders a glass of milk [[spoiler:so he can show the bartender a card he has gotten from another character as a message.]]

** The twins are sadistic, Ruka being nearly emotionless.

** Two cards that are used by Yusei and Jack respectively in the bonus chapters are named after the MidSeasonUpgrade they received in the anime, [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Accel_Synchro_(card) Accel Synchro]] and [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burning_Soul_(card) Burning Soul]].

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: During the MirrorMatch between Crow and his dark copy, Crow, having had to withstand his dueling strategies and moves being used against him throughout their duel, gets fed up at one point and tells his dark copy to "make your own move". Cue his dark copy Synchro-Summoning a Duel Dragon, which Crow lacks at the moment.

* AdaptionalSuperpowerChange: In the anime, Psychic Duelists have the ability to inflict real damage during duels, leading to violent results and them being shunned. Here, they're duelists with literal psychic powers, being able to know cards that normally shouldn't be known (i.e. the cards in an opponent's hand, a card currently facedown, etc.)

* TheDragon: Sect under the Skeleton Knight's control.

* FunWithAcronyms: V.S.F.L. (Virtual Soild Feel Lab). Changed to V.S.S.L. (Virtual Solid Sense Laboratory) in the English version.

** While a kind person in the anime, Manga Yusei is a lot more emotional.

** The twins are sadistic.

** Even Yusei himself was this at one point only caring about facing strong opponents and ignoring others.
