2* AmbiguouslyGay: Bakura's gaydar leads him straight to Ishizu. Make of that what you will.
3* BadassBiker: Marik, though the badass part is [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain debatable]].
4* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Marik gives this as the reason that he must take Yami's greatest power: the power [[MundaneMadeAwesome to look good in leather]].
5* DoubleStandard: Yugi chastises Marik for taking control of other people to use for dueling, but has no problem with letting Yami take control of his body to do the exact same thing.
6-->'''Marik:''' Oh right, because when ''I'' take control of somebody to make them play a card game, that's "pure evil." But when ''you'' do it, it's like you're Mother friggin' Teresa!
7* EveryoneHatesMimes: Yugi loses all reservations about hurting the person that Marik has brainwashed into attacking him once he finds out that said person is a mime.
8* GeekyTurnOn: This will be the first of many moments in the series where Kaiba gets a boner at the mention of an Egyptian god card.
9* ShoutOut: The episode opens with dubbed scenes from the PreviouslyOn segment from the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' two-parter "The Best of Both Worlds".
10** Marik demands that Odion call him "The Skipper", and then tells him that he can be [[Series/GilligansIsland Gilligan]].
11** Yami voices his regret of letting Yugi read ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' after he is accused of being a vampire [[OurVampiresAreDifferent even though]] he's outside during the day.
12---> '''Yugi:''' Well why don't you just suck his blood, Film/{{Nosferatu}}?
13** Yugi and Yami reference WonderTwinPowers during a TransformationSequence.
14--->"Form of: ''an Egyptian homosexual''!"
15** Yami describes Marik as "a whiny teenager with magical powers", and then concludes that he must be Franchise/HarryPotter.
16** Yami shares the power to look good in leather with Music/{{NSYNC}}.
17* TakeThat: Yami compares dueling Marik to playing the Platform/NintendoWii. That is, it got boring after about five minutes.
18* WaxingLyrical: After Yami gets trapped inside a cage, he quotes lyrics from Music/TheSmashingPumpkins' "Bullet With Butterfly Wings".
19--> '''Yami:''' Huh! Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage.
