** The English release of the ''Joey's World'' mega-pack has nine different monsters' flavor texts [[FunetikAksent written in the style]] of Joey's Brooklyn accent.

** The Italian dub of ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' is based on the English dub by Creator/FourKids. Though they changed Yugi Moto's name back to Yugi Muto, like it was in the original Japanese.
** The Latin American Spanish dub is also based on the 4Kids dub. This is despite the fact that the content of the original Japanese would have been deemed mostly fine by Latin American censors.

** Back in the day, it was very common for the video games to come bundled with promotional cards that would not be otherwise available until later down the line. The manga based on the later anime series started bundling promo cards as well once the original ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga ended. Even some merchandise and toys came with free cards. This practice slowly faded out in the mid 2010s when the video games started moving to digital and the rate of new games slowed down, but the ''SEVENS'' era brought it back with ''Dawn of the Battle Royale!!'' and its sequel coming packaged with Rush Duel cards in their physical editions.
** ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Duel Transer'' came with a very bizarre and unique accessory: the Duel Scanner, a box-shaped scanner with a cavity and card slot that could be hooked up to your Wii via a USB cable and used to scan real ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' cards for use in the game. This is in contrast to previous games where you could get the cards by punching in the 8-digit passcode at the bottom of the real card. For technical reasons the Duel Scanner did not work with an unfortunately wide pool of cards, including prize cards, magazine promo cards, and cards with too much holographic foil.

* CashCowFranchise: During the peak of ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''[='=]s popularity in the 2000s, it rivaled ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' in popularity, since for much of the time that franchise seen as too kiddy and a fad gone by. While ''Pokémon'' ultimately won out overall thanks to its broader, more universal appeal, ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' still remains a money maker to this day, generating over $20 billion USD globally.

** Masked [=HEROs=] and Vision [=HEROs=], formerly manga-only cards, have finally started appearing as alternative support cards to Elemental [=HEROs=].



** In the Card Game, there are some cards that just can't be bought normally, first hand as in the way they were meant to be; the most famous example is the first edition of the 3 Egyptian God Cards: foiled, shiny and ColourCodedForYourConvenience, these were packed with the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game ''VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction''; people went crazy for this game ''just to get the cards'', a great deal of the copies sold for this game was due fans wanting the cards, eventually retailers came to know that some people just bought the game for these cards, so they would gladly put a reminder for used copies '''Does Not Contain The Limited Edition Cards!''', people on eBay followed suit as gullible fans also thought that buying a $20 copy of the game would grant them shiny and exclusive cards that were sold for about $100 separately. This has become averted with the releases of both the Legendary Collection 1 and Yugi's Legendary Decks, which are now much more accessible with both even being reprinted and sold on retail. [[note]] Though the reprints are of the Ultra Rare rarity, not the Secret Rares like the Game Boy Originals. That being said, Legendary Collection 1 is being reprinted as Legendary Collection 25th Anniversary Edition, with a new Quarter Century Secret Rare of one of the 6 original promotion cards, so anyone who wants a Secret Rare copy will be able to do so.[[/note]]



** For many years, some of the earlier cards released in the OCG would take years before they finally appeared in the TCG.
** The [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Blue-Eyes_Shining_Dragon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]] was released as a promo for the movie in 2004. The card required to Summon it, the [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Blue-Eyes_Ultimate_Dragon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]], wasn't released until over a year-and-a-half later. Though both were available in Japanese, OCG cards are not allowed when playing the TCG.
** Recent TCG sets have included more cards than the corresponding OCG set- some of these are cards that were previously OCG only, while others are cards that are exclusive to the TCG. In turn, TCG only cards have recently begun to be released in the OCG through the Extra Pack/World Premiere Pack sets. ''Eventually'' the two card pools may become equal...
** Sometimes this applies to the video games as well. ''Tag Force 6'', hotly anticipated by some as the first video game to feature Xyz cards, was not released outside of Japan.

* WordOfGod:
** Until 2008, card rulings were given by both Konami and UDE, and they didn't always agree with each other. Many cards actually have different rulings for the TCG and OCG versions of the game because of this.
** The Xyz Monsters are made up of {{Antimatter}}.
** The Arcana Force monsters were based on the works of Creator/HPLovecraft.

* FanCommunityNickname: "Yugiboomer" is a term often used to describe people who grew up on the original ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' and associated Trading Card Game products but fell off at some point. Similar to the term "Genwunner" from the ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' fandom, it's most often used with a derogatory connotation against people who complain about the modern card game being too hard and confusing while having nostalgia for "playground" ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' that never really existed and ignoring that the real classic ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' had just as many faults of its own.
