History WMG / YugiohTheAbridgedSeries

[[WMG: Mako is in love with [[BatenKaitos Xelha]]]]

When Florence finally appears, Marik will break up with him and will go batshit insane. Also, just pick one scene from Season five where Bakura ''doesn't'' act as though he's a demented psychopath.

A real duel that goes through the steps of the game as seen in the original show. There will still be witty dialogue and LampshadeHanging, but nothing about the moves made and the turns of the duel will be changed. It might be in something special, like the last duel of the series, or maybe there will be something at a convention.

* Confirmed in the season two finale: Zorc is now on [[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody The Suite Life of Zorc and Cody.]]

* There will be a TakeThat at ''SwordArtOnline'' with the VR World arc.

--> '''Yugi:''' ''This is kind of like SwordArtOnline if the writers had more respect for women.''

[[WMG: Marik (or Melvin) is behind StephenieMeyer's creating the ''Twilight'' series]]

* Anyone who is familiar with the unabridged YuGiOh's plot should have noticed a ''huge'' divergence from the original show in Episode 62: Marik never gave Yugi the Millenium Rod or the Millenium Necklace. Marik has already dropped several hints that his apparent HeelFaceTurn isn't genuine (he's extremely sarcastic when thanking Yugi and flat out refuses to promise not to murder people anymore). If you pair that with the fact that holding onto the Millenium Necklace means that he has access to Bakura's soul, the chances of him ''not'' still being evil are slim to none.

*** Word of God said he's straight, and he was coming on to Kaiba just to creep him out. Mainly because its funny. I personally agree with him there. As for dreaming about PriscillaQueenOfTheDesert, hey, lots of straight men like that movie - its funny.

** [[SnakesOnAPlane I have had it with these muthafuckin' Card Games on this muthafuckin' plane!]]

* Yugi and his friends are jerkasses in the Abridged Series because its [[UnreliableNarrator Seto]] [[{{Jerkass}} Kaiba]] running the series. Abridged!Yugi has [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold decent moments]] because even though Seto hates him, he's still a WorthyOpponent. Kaiba never bought into the whole PowerOfFriendship thing, hence why Abridged!Téa is even more obsessed than normal. Tristian is TooDumbToLive because Kaiba thinks he's an idiot. Duke Devlin's MemeticSexGod reputation is a reflection of being a teenage heart-throb in the main series.

Although there have been numerous [[CallBack Call Backs]] to the fact that Yami Bakura / The Spirit of the Millennium Ring was given the name [[EmbarrassingFirstName Florence]] by his parents, he's usually called "Bakura," with the name Florence being little more than a RunningGag. After his [[spoiler:original life]] as Thief King Bakura shows up, bringing the Florence name into greater prominence as the exclusive epithet for this character would be both a great way to acknowledge and explain the RunningGag, and a ''[[BetterThanCanon great]]'' way to differentiate between the [[NamesTheSame confusing nature of having three different Bakuras in the same series]] (as Yami Bakura himself puts it: "Just wait until season five, when there's three of me running around!").

* ...Which will explain her suddenly duelling well enough to beat Pegasus, and being one of the top eight as mentioned in the Japanese dub, in addition to her joining up with the villains.

[[LEXicon712 I]] fully explained it in the GrandUnifyingGuesses page (under Actor Rule). The extension is that LK is 4Kids Entertainment (as stated in Crapsule Monsters episode 1 and lately in Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged 36 and 41), which makes him Al Kahn and every employee working under him, including Media Blasters and their [=VAs=]. Therefore he is also Creator/RachaelLillis, who was Jessie in Anime/{{Pokemon}}. Jessie is [[Anime/CowboyBebop Faye Valentine]] through way of MegumiHayashibara. Faye is also WendeeLee as well. And since Wendee Lee is LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya... according to WMG, she is God, a Time Lord, and Shinji Ikari. And according to Instrumentality, Shinji is everybody! Therefore, Little Kuriboh is the instigator of Instrumentality!

* This actually has some possibility, since Tea told Yami to 'be nice' at "Bro" in episode 64. This might lead to her insisting he be somewhat less of a douche, although his reactions might be somewhat forced and hammy since he's only doing it because Tea is bugging him to do so.

They got sent to the shadow realm, where Marik now does a [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ObeyMyRod let's play]] of [[VampireBloodlines Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines.]]

** [[spoiler:And Dartz will summon [[SuburbanKnights Malachite.]] ]]

** Maybe Marik is Yami Bakura's [[{{Homestuck}} kismesis]]

In some ways, it makes a lot more sense than in the original anime, since by then having Yami Yugi display the 'risk everything to win' trait again made no sense - he already showed in the duel against Bakura that he had learnt from the experience as he intended to hold back. But in YGOTAS, the Pharaoh gleefully attacked Bakura, and hasn't grown out of his more prominent Jerkass tendencies. So, since so much of the anime clearly shows Yami feeling guilty, he will have to play some of it for drama and have him grow as a person. He will also slightly lose his hatred of Anzu, since he has a significant amount of screentime with her too, and most of it is fairly amiable. This might lead in nicely to him being glad not to have to play much in the tournament in the following arc, or something like that.

* Seto Kaiba was sick of Yugi and pals treating him as a potential friend and his competitors seeing him as weak for [[MoralityPet Mokuba]]. Ridding his abridged interpretation of love for Mokuba is an attempt to discourage DracoInLeatherPants.

* Abridged!Joey is Kaiba's TakeThat against Joey, hence why he's portrayed as a Jerkass who cares more about trading cards. The FurryFandom and homoerotic dreams about Kaiba? That's plain old, unadulterated FoeYay on Kaiba's part

* Season 0!Bakura- A full American instead of British. Possibly a stereotypical DungeonsAndDragons player.
