History WMG / YuGiOhZexal

NamesTheSame between Dragon Cannon and the Xyz cards... Kinda. Just replace Xyz materials with X - Head Cannon and so forth, and it's a pretty clean parallel in how they work, as well. (Monsters that only configure with each other, can be arranged in different ways, and can have some pretty powerful effects.) Plus, I could see the series of monsters that introduced the concept of sending a series of cards to the graveyard without Polymerization, in turn introduce synchro summoning in-universe. Would certainly be a cool way to tie the timeline together.

** (Sigh). Basically, notice that this series supposedly takes place after 5D's, but no Synchro Monsters appear at least once (ep 1 is up to debate). Yet ''Duel Monster'' and ''GX'' monsters appeared, but one of them, Blade Armor Ninja, didn't belong to any of the previous protagonists.

I mean look at it; it looks a lot like Antinomy's duel runner.

** Care to elaborate?

[[WMG: The duel monster statues at episode 15-16 weren't the same monsters from the previous series.]]

* Based on the fact that a lot of his cards are similar to Yugi's. (Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Polymerization, Mirror Force, the three Knight cards, De-Fusion and Monster Recovery). He also made perfectly detailed statutes of Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which would be pretty difficult for someone who'd never seen those cards. (And seeing as there aren't a ton of images of them lying around Heartland, it's probably been a while since anyone has.) Furthermore, consider the strategy Rokujuro uses to defeat Yuma in their first duel: He fuses three Blue-Eyes Statue Dragons together to create Blue-Eyes Ultimate Statue Dragon, with which he destroys Dark Magician Girl, then he uses De-Fusion to turn Blue-Eyes Ultimate Statue Dragon back into three Blue-Eyes Statue Dragons and take the rest of Yuma's life points. This is identical to the move Yugi used to defeat Noah in the Virtual World arc of the original series, when he was dueling with Kaiba's cards.

Somehow Blue-Eyes knew that the Xyz monsters would appear and become a threat, so it transformed into Galaxy-Eyes in order to prepare for them.

It '''is''' Blue-Eyes, in the future. It has the exact same attack/defense/type/attribute/level. It '''looks''' very similar. It's name is structured the same way. The only significant difference between the two dragons is that one is a normal monster, and the other has an effect whose only seeming purpose is to counter Xyz monsters.

Somehow Blue-Eyes knew that the Xyz monsters would appear and become a thread, and transformed into Galaxy-Eyes in order to prepare for them.

Also, KaibaCorp is not mentioned once during the entire first story arc (pre-Heartland-tournament), despite being mentioned frequently in GX, 5Ds, and of course the original series. Domino is also left mysteriously unmentioned.

The Galaxy Queen looked like one of the evil queen from the show, so why not one that looks like Dead Max?

* The last episode, or an out-of-canon OVA, will include a four-way free for all duel: Yugi vs. Jaden vs. Yusei vs. Yuma.

When a mysterious motorcycle rider shows up, challenging him to a duel, either almost winning but stopping at the last second (As in this case, Yuma would be using numbers) or managing to get a spectacular draw against Yuma, warning him not to get too cocky... the rider? Yusei or Jaden, Jaden would make a little more sense in that he has Yubel and no Turbo duel excuse. Yusei could be saved for a final episode duel.

Their hair colour is near as dammit the same shade and [[AnimeHair pattern]]; certainly enough to justify a later twist reveal of long-lost uncle and niece-type relation.

Assuming that the top Guess is true, then Utopia must contain Astral's good side. That part took control long enough to set up the events of episode 1. Whenever Yuma defeats and acquires a Numbers card, it is purified. When he gets them all, the expelled evil will take form and challenge Yuma to the last duel of the series.

* Plus Syncros. I don't think they are eve mentioned, despite the fact that they are still incredibly good. Zero Reverse was prevented, thus there would be no reason to outlaw them, and XYZ's aren't necessarily better.

Every ace card has had a fusion form so far (Dark Magician to Dark Paladin, Neos to...Divine Neos makes the most sense, Stardust Dragon to Dragon-Knight Draco Equiste), and it would be a shame to waste this tradition. Bonus points for if it's a fusion usingGalaxy-Eyes or Black Ray Lancer.

This is most likely going to happen, like it has with 90% of villains in this franchise, but it'll be because Hayato DIES ANYWAY. This will cause him to BSOD, and eventually go all Roaring Rampage of Revenge on Faker with Yuuma and Astral.

Yu-Gi-Oh has a tendency to do that. Most likely 0 will be a monster with 0 ATK and DEF points but has some really broken powers that make it nearly impossible to defeat.
