1	->"You know, you can go ahead and skip this episode. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm sure nothing significant will happen.]] [[BlatantLies It's probably just]] {{Filler}}."
2	-->'''-Yami Yugi'''
3
4	!!Tropes
5	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The tomb keeper initiation ceremony involves carving open the initiate's back, burning an intricate symbol into their flesh, and making them watch ''Film/BeverlyHillsChihuahua''.
6	** "I've been tortured by my own father, I'm going to spend the rest of my life underground, and I just watched the worst Creator/JamieLeeCurtis movie since Film/ChristmasWithTheKranks!"
7	* BatmanGambit: Marik notes that his entire evil plan could potentially be undone just by any of the other characters [[WeaksauceWeakness looking in his general direction]].
8	* BigStupidDoodooHead: Joey has apparently spent the first two hours of his duel making fun of Odion for being bald, even though Odion's really not at all fazed by it.
9	* DeathByChildbirth: Veronica dies giving birth to Marik, leaving her three children at her husband's mercy.
10	* GentleGiant: Odion just cannot pull off looking consistently intimidating, much to Marik's dismay.
11	* HappilyAdopted: Zigzagged. Odion absolutely adores his adoptive mother, but [[AbusiveParents Hank Ishtar]] gets no such fond memories.
12	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: All three Ishtar children experienced some level of this.
13	* MomentKiller: Marik ruins yet another serious Odion moment.
14	-->'''Odion:''' Mother... I finally got to be a tombkeeper. Just... like you always wanted. I can only hope [[TearJerker you're proud of me]].
15	-->'''Marik:''' She's not even your real mom, douchebag!
16	* PokeThePoodle: Melvin calls Marik out for relying too heavily on this trope and rightfully declares himself EvilerThanThou.
17	* ShoutOut: "Yes, it's true! I am Kira! I mean, Marik."
18	** "And there's the obligatory Manga/DeathNote reference. I never thought we'd sink that low."
19	** Also, the joke in the title of this episode makes more sense when you realize that this is episode [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42.]]
20	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: There's a brief joke about Hank being unable to decide if he should name his son Ma'''r'''ik or Ma'''l'''ik (which has been a point of contention among ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' fans ever since the 4!Kids dub named him).
21	* TakeCareOfTheKids: Veronica charges Odion with taking care of his younger siblings on her deathbed.
22	* TemptingFate: Veronica doesn't even get to finish telling Odion that he'll be a tomb keeper unless she has another son before we get a GilliganCut to Marik's birth.
23	** She falls prey to this again when she specifically warns Odion against letting Marik "grow up to be a giant douche like his father". [[JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope Whoops]].
24	* ToBeContinuedRightNow: The "To Be Continued" message right after Marik's SplitPersonalityTakeover is quickly followed by a "Just kidding".
25	* TriggerPhrase: Marik accidentally sets off a flashback to Odion's infancy by calling him a "big baby".
26	* TheUnfavorite: Odion gets this by being the only non-biological child in the Ishtar family. His mother may have seen him as her son, but his father views him as a servant.
27	* VocalDissonance: Odion had his deep, booming voice even as a baby. Marik also has the same voice as a newborn, [[RuleOfFunny and can talk for some reason]].
