Context WMG / YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries

Go To

1[[WMG: The Legendary Dragons will be revealed to have similar personalities to their wielders.]]
2Timaeus will be a narcissistic douche like Yami Yugi, Critias will be a arrogant pompous with a dragon fetish like Kaiba, and Hermos will be an idiotic goof like Joey.
3[[WMG: Tristan is a {{Reincarnation}} of [[Series/DoctorWho Adric]]]]
4It explains the destroying the dinosaurs and travelling with the Doctor.
5[[WMG: Hank Ishtar bullied[=/=]abused[=/=]tormented Marik for being gay.]]
6Hence his extreme denial that he's gay.
7* This is especially likely considering that Hank seemed to be raising his children in an ''extremely'' traditional environment modeled after Ancient Egypt (Marik implied that one of the reasons he picked up that yaoi comic book in the first place was because he was never given any reading material other than his "scriptures"). It should be fairly obvious why gay rights and outdated conservative Egyptian values don't play nice with each other.
8[[WMG: Florence will become a {{Yandere}} for Marik]]
9When Florence finally reappears in the finale season, Marik will break up with him and Florence will go batshit insane. Also, just pick one scene from Season five where Bakura ''doesn't'' act as though he's a demented psychopath and making creepy faces. Perfect for a Yandere-type character.
10[[WMG: By way of the Actor rule, everybody in the universe is Little Kuriboh]]
11[[LEXicon712 I]] fully explained it in the WMG/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 Music/MegumiHayashibara. Faye is also Creator/WendeeLee as well. And since Wendee Lee is Literature/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!
12* An alternate route between LK and Megumi Hayashibara is LK -> Mokuba -> Tara Jayne -> Ash's Bulbasaur -> Megumi.
13* Instrumentality is everyone except Shinji, Asuka and maybe everyone who doesn't want to be.
14
15[[WMG: Marik owns a Manga/DeathNote]]
16He's able to find so many people named "Steve" because he traded half of his lifespan for the shinigami eyes. Of course, its utility is limited, since he doesn't want to ''kill'' you, just ''destroy'' you a little bit.
17* Alternatively, he makes his henchmen change their name to Steve.
18* Even better, he could be a shinigami. Would that mean all the millennium people are? It makes so much sense!
19** "September 19, 1996: Ushio Urameshi dies in a fight over a pile of leaves, which he believes to be money. November 5, 1996: Goro Inogashira dies in a game nitroglycerin grill hockey. February 12, 1997: Seto Kaiba dies of a fatal heart attack after losing to a highly improbable series of card draws while playing Magic and Wizards." But since he's a Millenium Item holder, and therefore equivalent to a Death Note user...
20* Makes sense. Kakashi in ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'' '''does''' own a Death Note which he keeps an ''Icha Icha'' cover on; we see him writing in it early on ("Sakura...hit by truck..."). The fact that it doesn't actually ''work'' can be explained by the Abridged Series' taking place in a Main/CrapsackWorld.
21* episode 42 "I AM KIRA".
22** Marik. Take the M off and Spell it backwards.
23
24[[WMG: The ocean really ''can'' talk.]]
25Mako is in a homosexual relationship with Hapi, the god of the Nile. He wants to marry Hapi so he, too, can [[Main/AGodAmI be a god.]]
26* Confirmed in episode 33. Yes. Canon just confirmed a WMG. [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Be Afraid]]
27** Talking part is confirmed, but the relationship seems heterosexual. To the extent a relationship with a large body of water can be, one supposes.
28*** Mako did, in fact, refer to the ocean as "she" and "ex-wife."
29*** But wasn't Hapi a hermaphrodite?
30
31[[WMG: The Ocean's name is Steve]]
32Combining the above tropes, Mako is in a homosexual relationship with Steve, God of the Ocean; unfortunately, Steve will soon be taken over by Marik and become his greatest minion ever.
33* Alternately, Mako is in a heterosexual relationship with Steve, goddess of the ocean. Remember that in one of the Evil Councils of Doom, Pegasus says he knows a few girls named Steve, and he lives on the island where we first see Mako.
34
35[[WMG: Zorc and Pals will end up ScrewedByTheNetwork]]
36Well, it's got a [[StealthPun cult]] following, but is desperate for ratings. The {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s are probably the only thing keeping it afloat as it is.
37* Well, Episode 37 seems to confirm this when Zorc destroyed the studio audience. Bakura, after the attack, states: "God, we are ''so'' canceled".
38* Confirmed in the season two finale: Zorc is now on [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody The Suite Life of Zorc and Cody.]]
39
40[[WMG: EveryoneIsBi]]
41Come on, there's so much evidence for almost everyone being straight, but evidence for almost everyone being gay. There's not much evidence for this theory, but ''no'' evidence against it.
42* Yes. Everything from Téa jealous of Mai's...''assets'' to the Neko Porno...
43
44[[WMG: The Abridged Series is the canon version of Yu-Gi-Oh]]
45* Creator/LittleKuriboh created Yu-Gi-Oh, but Konami stole the idea with their time machine. The same time machine they used to predict the upcoming [[VideoGame/MetalGear Manhattan Incident]].
46* This would explain why everyone references it as cannon. This would also explain 4Kids's Youtube channel.
47
48[[WMG: The Millennium Rod is actually completely powerless]]
49Marik just happens to be sexually irresistible to guys named Steve. Or girls named Steve.
50* Oh come on, Marik is sexually irresistible to ''[[EvenTheGuysWantHim everyone]]''.
51** ''Especially'' guys and girls named Steve.
52
53[[WMG: Marik's middle name (Sebastian) is a ChekhovsGun]]
54In the same way that the Millenium Rod only works on people with Steve in their name, his middle name will make him vulnerable to something. Alternatively, maybe the Millennium Rod only works for people with Sebastian in their name.
55* Alternatively, Marik is [[Series/BabylonFive Jack the Ripper]].
56* The real series has Yami Marik wanting the Rod to show him a vision it showed other characters, but it refused to. Maybe when Abridged gets to that part...
57
58[[WMG: Bandit Keith is Creator/MichaelBay]]
59Because in his movies, [[AmericaSavesTheDay America always saves the day...in America.]]
60* Can't be. There's only one [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] in his deck.
61
62[[WMG: ''Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series'' will be canceled after Season Two]]
63This announcement brought to you by 4Kids TV. DOWN WITH DISNEY. ALL HAIL 4KIDS!
64* I predict that that prediction is simply misdirection in a vain attempt to generate hype.
65* Isn't the third season the one where the Big Five trap them in a virtual world, or something along those lines? Could be foreshadowing of the next plot point--that the Big Five tries to cancel the show by removing the main characters.
66** Confirmed, interestingly enough; this is pretty much exactly the scenario that the Season Two finale sets up.
67
68[[WMG: Croquet is gay]]
69Bakura's gaydar points to Pegasus' castle, and then we cut to a shot of Pegasus and Croquet. Pegasus certainly seems gay, but it later turns out that he's actually hetero and just acts gay. The gaydar had to be pointing at something, and Croquet is the obvious choice.
70* Wasn't that confirmed? Aside from WordOfGod IIRC, he had that phone call where Croquet is refusing to get back together with his ex?
71* It could be that he turned straight and was no longer interested in his ex.
72** Sexuality, though at times incredibly fluid, does not work that way. Well, if LK wanted it to, it could in the abridged universe, but it doesn't in RealLife.
73
74[[WMG: Kemo and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Wakka]] are related]]
75* Just look at the hair, speaks for itself.
76
77[[WMG: Kemo and Tristan are indeed related]]
78* Kemo (ATTENTION DUELISTS guy) tells Tristan "My hair is your father". Given that their hair is very similar (one points up, the other points forward), this is at least somewhat plausible. Which leads me to my next WMG...
79
80[[WMG: Kemo's hair is a parasitic alien creature]]
81* It lives in his brain, as a [[Literature/{{Animorphs}} Yeerk]] does, and has control over the host, but does so indirectly: It tells Kemo to do something, and he performs the requested action while informing everyone in the vicinity of what his hair is telling him to do (Abduct a small child, defy gravity, cry...).
82** And in regard to the previous WMG, the hair reproduced, infecting Tristan. Why he refers to the commanding entity as his voice rather than his hair may be explained by his Ditz status.
83*** also in one of the abridged movies, the one without Anubis, he is searching for his hair and working for Kaiba, for reasons he isn't sure about
84* What about Mai's breasts?
85
86[[WMG: Kaiba will eventually say "Screw the Fourth Wall, I have money!!"]]
87* The whole "save the fourth wall from being broken" thing is simply one massive set up for Kaiba to say that line. That, and he just HAS too, it's too hilarious not to be used!
88** Unlikely. Nothing can top "Screw the vagina, I have a vagina."
89** Ebonics. "Screw 'da rules, I gots money."
90
91[[WMG: 4Kids is a elder god similar to Cthulhu.]]
92The shadowy executives are its cultists. Disney is a rival ElderGod, similar to The King in Yellow (both share the "never say their true name" gimmick). The shadowy executives could say something like "The world will know the embrace of madness." and it would fit perfectly!
93* 4Kids' true horrifying shape can be seen in Yugi's nightmare in the first Cr* psule Monsters spinoff episode.
94* And Marik, being the ultimate evil (hot) psycho, is their leader. Not to mention his hair is almost as freaky as Cthulhu's tentacles...
95
96[[WMG: The Mooninite Steves are Arrancars]]
97Lets look at the facts. For one thing they have masks that only cover part of their face, and I'm willing to bet anything that their quad laser beam is a form of cero.
98
99[[WMG: Little Kuriboh is planning to finish the show as soon as possible and dedicate his time to making the ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'' spoof parody thing]]
100And the world may potentially implode.
101* Don't overly worry about that. At the rate LK has been progressing through the story the past couple of years, he's on pace to finish sometime in 2023 or so.
102
103[[WMG: There will be a [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Bat-credit card-]][[IncrediblyLamePun Game]] ]]
104Don't question me, it will happen.
105
106[[WMG: Mai isn't coming back]]
107Let's face it, who needs her breasts anyway?
108* If LK ever gets to the Orichalcos arc, Dartz will. Only for his master plan though.
109
110[[WMG: Little Kuriboh has super strength]]
111Little Kuriboh voices Tristan. Tristan's voice gives him super strength. Therefore...
112
113[[WMG: 4kids' plan will fail]]
114Why? Because there is NoFourthWall to break. I mean that is their whole evil plan, right?
115** Or alternately, near the end of their adventure on defeating the others, they than discovered they caused the third season to happened by trying to defeat the others, [[LogicBomb causing their heads]] [[YourHeadASplode to go boom]] [[CloudCuckoolander bleeding out unicorns, rainbows, lollipops, Hulk Hogan, Bearded Idiot, and Crazy Steve!]]
116
117[[WMG: The Tristan-Monkey-Bot will have the dreaded other Tristan voice]]
118Leading to everybody in the cast treading Tristan-Monkey-Bot as the ReplacementScrappy.
119* Jossed. Tristan thinks he has his regular voice, but everyone else just hears a monkey.
120
121[[WMG: Invisible items don't work if they're 'shown' onscreen.]]
122The invisible guns have failed on-screen twice, but when Bakura shoots Zombie Boy from off-screen his invisible gun works fine. Mai has lost every on-screen duel in the series, leading some to believe that she has no dueling abilities. However, it could just be that her dueling skills are ''invisible''. She seems to have no problem winning duels off-screen, after all. (She beats Rex Raptor off-screen on the journey to Duelist Kingdom, and is shown collecting her winnings from Guy-Who-Is-Disguised-As-A-Bee. Furthermore, she won enough off-screen duels to make it to the Duelist Kingdom finals.)
123* And they're owned by [[Series/DoctorWho the Weeping Angels.]]
124
125* Impossible. Jounnochi told Yugi that their friendship is invisible, yet they have shared on screen portions where they're friends. So their invisible friendship works even when you're looking at it.
126** That wasn't in the abridged series, and if it was, as Téa would (Most likely) say, "The power of friendship is strong enough to overcome the 'Invisible Objects' rule!"
127*** "Now that I have said it, it must be canon!"
128
129[[WMG: Yami Bakura is the real hero of the show and Marik is his LoveInterest.]]
130It's Bakura who tried to stop Melvin from breaking the fourth wall while Yugi was partying. Also, since Melvin became the villain, Marik hasn't done anything besides having truckloads of UST with Bakura. They're pretty much an OfficialCouple now.
131* Don't forget Yugi had a feeling that he was needed for something important, it was Téa that kept him from finding out what it was.
132* Nah, Marik is Yami Bakura's Hate Interest.
133** Maybe Marik is Yami Bakura's [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} kismesis]].
134
135[[WMG: The Giant Rock is female]]
136Bakura's Gaydar pointed to Ishizu just as she was saying the Giant Rock was the only one who understood her. Ergo, since this must make Ishizu a lesbian, the Giant Rock she's in love with must be female. Interestingly, Bakura's Gaydar stopped reacting after Ishizu fled the plot, and the Gaydar had no reaction to the (Female) Giant Rock. This must mean the Giant Rock is a straight woman. [[StarCrossedLovers Ishizu's story is truly tragic]] (there are no women on Yu-Gi-Oh!, only [[{{Bishonen}} really girly men!]]). Alternatively, the Giant Rock does love Ishizu back, but it is actually '''male''', [[UnsettlingGenderReveal much to Ishizu's horror once she learns]]. [[IfItsYouItsOkay Or maybe not]].
137** You do realize that the batteries ran out?
138
139[[WMG: Marik (or Melvin) is behind Creator/StephenieMeyer's creating the ''Twilight'' series]]
140Steve is short for Steven, which is a variation of the name "Stephen". And the feminine form for Stephen is ''Stephanie''.
141* ...[[MoralEventHorizon Damn you, Melvin.]]
142* Melvin should definitely be the main suspect of this theory; Marik was vocally anti-Twilight in WebVideo/MarikPlaysBloodlines. Besides, it would be more in character for him.
143
144[[WMG: It's time to play "Guess The Sexual Orientations Of All The Characters!"]]
145Because most of their orientations are very [[AmbiguouslyGay ambiguous]], it's time we settled it once and for all! But remember, NoBisexuals! [[spoiler:Just kidding.]]
146* '''Yugi''': Straight, but an on-and-off ChasteHero and occasionally ObliviousToLove, although it depends on the episode. He seems to have a kink for costumes. (Téa's waitress uniform, the Dark Magician Girl...)
147** However he and Yami seem....a little friendly. It is repeatedly hinted they take part in S&M and Yami's main concern in the extra videos is to get Yugi back home.
148*** Not to mention Yugi's fascination with Marik's abs. Though who can blame him?
149* '''Yami''': Either a ChasteHero or Bi.
150** Definitely bi if you take "What Would Yugi Do?" as canon. Also not very much of a ChasteHero. He's a bit lacking on the chastity part.
151** Well besides "What would Yugi Do," which wasn't created by LK, Yami hasn't really shown much interest in anything or anyone other than card games.
152** But he does have some HoYay with Yugi. And during the duel with 'Ghost Kaiba' he said "If you're a ghost then I'm straight!" Turns out it wasn't a ghost but a gay clown, so yeah..
153** If the abridged movie proves anything, he seems to be unsuprised and fairly happy about joey's surprise buttsex move at the end of the movie. Also, it's pretty much implied that they have done it (more than once):
154--> Yami: With you, Joey, it's never a surprise.
155** More recent non-episodic videos seem to be turning him into a Depraved Bisexual
156* '''Téa''': Straight, and very horny.
157* '''Joey''': Straight.
158** What, really? After his wet dreams about Kaiba, and his romantic scene with Yugi?
159** Oh please,everyone's had a sex dreams with Kaiba.
160** True, but he definitely likes Mai's breasts, so he's probably a bisexual furry.
161** There's also some definite HoYay between him and Tristan, so I'd be inclined to say bi.
162** I guess after episode 50, his bisexuality is canonically confirmed.
163* '''Tristan''': Probably straight, at least for Serenity, but there ''is'' that obvious HoYay with Duke Devlin (and earlier, Joey).
164* '''Seto Kaiba''': [[CargoShip Card Game-sexual]]
165** Well, he does get a boner from seeing the Egyptian God cards...
166** Bisexual or Gay, He is a StalkerWithACrush to Yugi (In the Movie)
167*** I saw that as just Kaiba screwing with Yugi's mind, [[SlashFic along with the fanbase.]]
168*** Episode 54 indicates that he finds Téa's breasts "nice", but could be in a non-sexual way (specially since he's not particularly interested anyway).
169*** Well, Kaiba ''did'' have sex with his dragon-girlfriend thousands of years ago, so that's a huge point for the Straight/Bi categories. Then again, it's also canon that the sex wasn't very good, so there's still a flimsy but possible case to be made that Kaiba was using her as TheBeard.
170*** He asks Kemo out to a movie in Episode 13, so I'm inclined to say he's Gay or Bi.
171*** Nah, he likes dragons, that means he’s asexual.
172* '''Mai's Breasts''': Straight.
173** Fake.
174** They're not fake!
175** Riiiiiiight.
176** Idontbelieveyou!
177* '''Serenity''': Straight.
178* '''Mako''': Hydrosexual.
179* '''Mokuba''': He probably hasn't figured it out himself yet, since he's only recently gone through Japanese Puberty.
180** He is barely into his teens, I really don't think its even crossed his mind.
181* '''Pegasus''': This is where it gets difficult. Um... straight? Gay? StraightGay? CampStraight? Bi? CampStraight is probably the best bet.
182** Most likely bi as he does show interest on Kaiba. But then again, he might just be faking it for no [[strike:conceivable reason]] because he's Pegasus.
183*** 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 Film/PriscillaQueenOfTheDesert, hey, lots of straight men like that movie - its funny.
184*** he is CampStraight, in Episode 11, Kaiba says "Pegasus is ruthless, camp, but ruthless.", add that to the fact that Word of God says he is straight and you are done.
185* '''Bakura''': Gay? Or just British?
186** He's not gay. He's just British.
187** If not gay, than probably Bi. He once asked Téa if she fancied a shag, and then he said the following in Episode 15:
188*** Téa: Hey, stop groping my Yugi-muffin!
189*** Bakura: Bugger off, you had your chance!
190** And then there was that episode where Tristan says they had a bad dream, can they sleep with Téa?, and Bakura says he doesn't want to sleep with a girl...
191* '''[[strike:Yami Bakura]] Florence''': Gay. Then again, he ''does'' love his fangirls. Of course, that may just be a BatmanGambit. See the below WMG.
192** Bisexual, he loves his fangirls.
193*** Maybe he loves them platonicly?
194** Gay. Or maybe just [[SingleTargetSexuality gay for Marik]]...
195* '''Marik''': '''[[TransparentCloset Gay]]'''
196** If Marik is gay, however, he seems to be the last one to know it. As he says in the "On a Blimp" video, "We're not gay, by the way, least I don't think that I am....", and every time he's accused of being gay, he's often violently denied it.
197** He is Bi, and I refuse to believe otherwise.
198*** Well, he wants to fangirls.
199*** His fangirls are TheBeard.
200*** Or he just loves having people admit [[SmallNameBigEgo how gorgeous he is]], regardless of whether or not he's attracted to them.
201** Gay. Gay. Gay, and he knows it, if you take [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DiqAByzgV4&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL this episode]] of his Let's Play series as canon (forward to twelve minutes).
202** Actually, in one video he mentioned having cybersex with someone he thought was a girl. Of course, it was ''actually'' Florence in disguise, and we have no idea how the whole thing actually went, so...
203** Well, as noted below, Melvin seems to think Marik is gay, and as was pointed out, he kinda ''is'' Marik, so...
204** Another supporter of Marik is Bi. One of LK's fics, albiet non-canon, has Marik rather excited at the prospect of going out on a date with a woman and subsequently a bit heartbroken when she doesn't show. At the very least he is easily won over by the prospect of love.
205* '''[[strike:Yami Marik]] Melvin''': Gay, and more open about it.
206** He is the gay one!
207*** Marik, is that you?
208*** Melvin seems ambiguous, since he has only tried to hug males, but does seem pretty confident calling Marik gay.
209** Isn't it obvious? Melvin is obviously Marik's [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Mr. Hat.]] He's Marik's Gay Side incarnate! And he'll only be defeated when Marik admits it!
210* '''Ishizu''': Hard to tell. Bakura's gaydar ''was'' leading him in her direction until its batteries ran out... See the above WMG for an interesting theory.
211* '''Duke Devlin''': Anything that moves.
212** It doesn't even have to move...
213** He seems to prefer girls, although that could be because of his disease...
214* '''Kemo's Hair''': Straight, and vigorously gelled.
215** Yeah, it was able to reproduce to create Tristan, so...
216** Since it's an alien parasite (see entry above somewhere) It might reproduce itself asexually, like a starfish
217* '''The Satanic Teddy Bear''': Unknown.
218** Asexual, because it's a teddy bear. Or hate-sexual.
219* '''Dartz''': Gay. I mean, he ''does'' want to do Marik on a motorcycle.
220** DUUUUUEH!
221*** Impossible to decipher.
222* '''Yugi's Grandpa''': Definitely gay for the Black Luster Soldier.
223** Possibly not gay, may be the fact that the poster is inanimate.
224** Although Yugi wouldn't exist if he hadn't copulated with a woman at some point - unless Yugi is adopted.
225** I don't know, [[http://www.animecubed.com/yugioh/cards1/SYE-024-1.jpg from the side BLS is built rather like Mai, unless those are truly absurd pecs]].
226*** Black Buster Soldier [[SamusIsAGirl is female.]]
227*** But since Black Luster Soldier is the Pharaoh's Ka monster, and the Pharaoh's a guy...So. Confused.
228** I say he's Bi because he goes between Black Luster Soldier and then talking about Téa's Boobs. Or Gazongas. Or titties.
229
230[[WMG: "Tell my fangirls I love them" at the end of episode 46 is more than just a funny line.]]
231Look at Florence's smirk when he says that. He ''clearly'' has some ace up his sleeve. Most likely [[spoiler:the fangirls will be the one reason that Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged can't be canceled outright, for fear of backlash. That's why 4kids needs to finish off all the characters, so that they can have an excuse for canceling the show in that all the actors are dead.]]
232* This makes sense, especially considering the recent videos featuring Florence and Marik. Perhaps [[spoiler:their souls are in purgatory]], and they're spending their time there making videos that show them acting very gay and Bishie, as part of a BatmanGambit to [[spoiler:attract enough fangirls to start SendingStuffToSaveTheShow to get Y:TAS UnCanceled]].
233** Seems pretty much true, as we know that both of them come back eventually in the series proper. Hell, to this troper, that was the whole point of both the duet and the deleted scene (of them professing their "hate" for each other); a last-minute attempt at more HoYay fanservice to save them.
234
235[[WMG: The recent music videos and random stuff LK's been doing lately is stealth cannon, as filler!]]
236He did say that there would be new episodes in May, but he meant the music video parodies, the rap battles, and all the other random stuff LK's been doing on his account; they are all cannon, but are also filler. The third season of Yu-Gi-Oh was mostly filler, thus the abridged version is filler as well. They just aren't numbering them so as to not confuse anyone. Then again, maybe I'm just grasping at straws to make cannon the fact Kaiba said [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Screw the vagina,]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice I have a vagina!"]]
237* {{Jossed}}. Season Third has officially started.
238** That doesn't make it any less canon, especially with the recent reveal of Kiaba being a robot. ;)
239
240[[WMG: [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] is God]]
241Think about it: The current story arc is about the fourth wall. The name of Linkara's main series on Website/ChannelAwesome? Atop the Fourth Wall. The thing is: Linkara doesn't know that he's the god of another universe, and that the witty title that he came up with for his series is anything more than that.
242* [[spoiler:human...]]
243* I seriously doubt Linkara is God. [[spoiler: WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee on the other hand..]]]]
244
245[[WMG: Creator/LittleKuriboh supports Your Shipping of Choice.]]
246He certainly seems to have no problem with making jokes about EVERY SHIPPING EVER, although some ships are mentioned more than others... such as the running "creepy sex dreams gag" from Season One (apparently Joey is very territorial about the subject of his creepy sex dreams), with the theme repeated in Season Two where Joey apparently gets rather pissed off about even the ''suggestion'' of Mai sleeping with Kaiba.
247* that wasn't Mai he got angry at, he was angry at Yugi during Yugi's existential crisis.
248Also, for some other pairings: "Bye, darling!" from Joey to Tristan in the Virtual World episode in Season One, the incredible UST from Marik and Yami Bakura in Season 2, anything even remotely involving Duke Devlin (Duke can't be shipped, he is dependent on contact with women, but apparently has experimented and there is no clear indication of his sexuality, and Joey's obsession with Mai's boobs.
249
250[[WMG: Guesses about the Doma Arc]]
251* Doma company will be the metaphor about the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork network]] or conspirators to bring back 4Kids, or happen to be a neo-4Kids group.
252* They use the Seal of Orichalcos to replace the main characters and employees that fail are "fired" immediately. Commentary on why they wager souls in a children's card game. Again.
253* Valon probably says something like "Screw the rules I have fists!" in his battles. Joey will enjoy his battle with Valon because they decide to just punch each other.
254-->"Time to du-" * gets Falcon Punched by Valon* "Hey that's not in the rules!"
255-->"Screw the rules I have fists!"
256-->"I can live with that!" * They start punching each other like a street fight*
257** How would that be any different to the actual fight in the main show?
258* Valon and Joey's fight will be decided by who has the silliest and most inappropriate accent.
259* Great Leviathan is the reincarnation of 4Kids chairman Alfred R. Kahn.
260* Dartz is a fanatic, or [[MoralGuardians someone who supports the 4Kids censoring]] so his child could watch the show, [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget but...]].
261* Yami plays Seal of Orichalcos to prove he can be a better villain and more successful because he is main character (and prove that Yu-Gi-Oh villains can be straight?). His lesson is that [[PrideBeforeAFall main characters can actually lose]]. Everybody's reactions should be interesting.
262** Unlikely to prove that particular point, considering "if that's a ghost then I'm straight."
263* Commentary on why [[MrExposition Dark Magician Girl]] is more important in this arc than Dark Magician. The explanation is [[MsFanservice obvious]].
264* Commentary on how they choose the most interesting battlefields to fight (on a plane? on a train?).
265** [[Film/SnakesOnAPlane I have had it with these muthafuckin' Card Games on this muthafuckin' plane!]]
266* Comments about Alister and [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Tracey]] having the same voice. His brother was not kidnapped so many times like Mokuba.
267* Dartz's soul wall could have some interesting people.
268** Dartz is officially a loser and so are his mooks, so they most likely wont show up in the abridged series
269*** Mariks a loser, but he still remained a villain.
270** Everyone dead at this point in WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged will be on the soul wall, except Ghost Nappa who will always be with Vegeta.
271*** It'll contain every character of every abridged series that's been cancelled. Bennet's Elfin Lied, Naruto Abridged, ect
272* Mai joins Doma so she whines about how she has never won a duel before but surprises everyone when she defeats Pegasus.
273* Rafael gets ridicule about having big muscles.
274* Alister will be mocked for looking like a girl.
275** The characters are really gonna try and use that? Looking like they do?
276* Legend of Heart will not transform the Legendary Dragons into knights. Instead, it will summon a far more powerful forrce than they - Ma-Ti.
277** Or more likely, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]].
278** [[spoiler:And Dartz will summon [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights Malachite.]] ]]
279* Rebecca will have aged 8 years while none of the main characters have aged at all (due to the evil influence of her Teddy), which explains why her voice has changed (so Creator/LittleKuriboh can now do the voice) and why she keeps trying to [[UnusualEuphemism shuffle Yugi's deck]].
280* Joey and Mai will both say that Valon isn't as "bad" as Melvin.
281* Commentary on the fluctuating animation quality - e.g. Yami's inconsistantly-sized hair will become a character in its own right. Possibly possessed by Kemo's hair. Or something.
282* Partially related to an above suggestion: Dartz doesn't feed the Leviathan ''souls'', he feeds it ''abridged series''. That's why he hates Marik - he knows that Melvin will try to eliminate the last abridged series Dartz needs for his evil plan!
283* The Great Leviathan is [[CanonForeigner Slender Man.]] "Hey guys! I heard you had an internet series. Can I be in the internet series?"
284* In the battle between Dartz vs Yugi and Kaiba, Dartz will be so incomprehensible that Kaiba and Yugi will disregard him. Instead they will just screw the rules and [[NewRulesAsThePlotDemands make up a new set of rules that will trigger instant win for them.]]
285
286[[WMG: Noah is the Kaiba of Season Zero.]]
287Somehow he escaped the season and gained a big grudge on anime in general for censoring his continuity. So he secretly took over/founded 4Kids to destroy anime's reputation(shortly before their first noticeable dub other than Pokemon). He's tormenting the characters because they were his replacements, and their Abridged versions are a painful reminder of this.
288** close, Gozaboro had a plan to resurrect Noah in kaiba's body, season 4 is Noah and the rest of Team [=4Kids=] trying to possess the main characters.
289*** Or Noah was originally planned to have the same position as Kaiba, but instead Seto took the role.
290
291[[WMG: Noah will say "[[CallBack Screw the rules, I have green hair!]]"]]
292He just HAS to.
293** And Kaiba will interrupt Noah in the middle of that. He will say something like "Don't you '''DARE''' steal my catch phrase that I only used once."
294*** Kaiba has used that quote during a drug trip, I don't think Noah will repeat any quote, especially a seto quote.
295*** It's confirmed in a way. Noah said at the end of Episode 46 something along the lines of "Who is the green haired spoiled rich brat screwing the rules now?" Whether or not Kaiba will say anything about it like in their duel near the end of Season 3 is still up in the air though
296[[WMG: LK's been hacked on Youtube by a zombie]]
297Well, for starters, almost all of his videos are gone, and there's a note saying the channel has been hacked by Michael Jackson... which means the King of Pop is a zombie, hellbent on destroying YTAS!
298** Those videos are now re-available on youtube, through cardgamesFTW or [=YuGiOhAbridged=].com
299
300[[WMG: The Big Five will all win, except for the one dueling Yugi]]
301Yugi will, of course, not notice the difference. The new minds will remain in those bodies for the remainder of the series.
302** {{Jossed}} as of Episode 50. Téa just sucks at card games in this continuity.
303*** Well, at least you can't accuse her of "never playing Duel Monsters". It's just that ThePowerOfFriendship was no match for the power of penguins.
304** May not be jossed. Both Yugi and Joey still have one more fight together against the Big 5.
305
306[[WMG: Reappearance of Mako]]
307* Mako will somehow make another appearance somehow in a really unpredictable role.
308
309* The Great Leviathan is the living embodiment of the sea. When no-one else can stop it, only the seas lover can truly quell her rage. Mako shall be the hero of the Doma arc.
310
311[[WMG: Bakura will break up with Marik after his HeelFaceTurn.]]
312And that's why he's together with Zorc in season 5.
313* Alternatively, his evil plot for season 5 will be to get 'Zorc and Pals' a second season.
314
315[[WMG: Yami Bakura and Melvin are brothers.]]
316Yami Bakura was shown to be this universe's version of the Joker ("Why so British?"). That makes Marik, [[Creator/DougWalker Melvin brother of the Joker]].
317
318[[WMG: What happened to Marik and Florence after losing to Melvin?]]
319They got sent to the shadow realm, where Marik now does a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ObeyMyRod let's play]] of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines''.
320
321[[WMG: Serenity will [[TookALevelInBadass take a level in badass]]]]
322...and take on Nesbitt all by herself [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome AND WIN]] without Tristan and Duke to help her. Especially when you consider that at the start of [[strike:Season 3]] 4Kids' takeover and attempted cancellation of the show, she was worried about her relevance to the series...she's going to stand up for herself and declare that SHE! IS! RELEVANT!
323* {{Jossed}}. Duke won by showing him a picture of [[Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL Yuma]]
324
325[[WMG: Tristan and his hair have other powers that haven't been revealed as yet.]]
326Let's consider, first of all...Tristan's hair (er, correction, ''voice'') gives him super-strength and knowledge of kung fu, and he himself can [[spoiler:break necks with his mind]]. Plus, he was able to overpower Yami-freaking-Bakura during the Duelist Kingdom arc. So...among the other powers he'll be able to exhibit later: his hair will be revealed to provide him resistance to mind control [[spoiler:unlike the actual series where he got mind-controlled by Bakura in Season 5]], the power to fly (similar to the ability of [[spoiler:his "father"]] Kemo's hair to defy gravity), plus the hair itself will be able to slice through anything and everything ([[AnimeHair just LOOK at it!]]).
327* So... You DO realize that "hair" and "voice" are very different words, right?
328** [[AuthorsSavingThrow So acknowledged, that it's his voice that gives him his current abilities. It'll be revealed later on that his hair can give him the above-mentioned abilities]] [[spoiler:because Kemo's hair is his father]].
329
330
331[[WMG: Noah (or Johnson) took down [=CardGamesFTW=]'s account.]]
332He and the Big Five cancelled the show, so it was only fitting they get rid of [=CardGamesFTW=]'s Website/YouTube account. Hey, Melvin was the one who took down Creator/TeamFourStar's account, it could happen! Wait, now it's back, so both 4Kids and the Big Five in real life and lost their trial and LifeImitatesArt and now I've gone cross-eyed...
333* Johnson did it.
334
335[[WMG: Crump is Rob Schneider!]]
336[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark First he was an animal (penguin) and then he was a woman (Téa)!]]
337
338[[WMG: Rebecca's teddy bear is the REAL [[BigBad B]][[TheChessmaster i]][[MagnificentBastard g]] Ba[[EnemyToAllLivingThings d]]]]
339Rebecca says that she ''hear voices in her head'' that voices are from his teddy bear [[MostCommonSupwerpower mind-control powers]], he make her fight a duel against Yugi to be able to watch how powerful was the one that defeated Pegasus. Even more, he KNOW that yugi would won, even more, he PLANNED Yugi voctory, but hasn't planned that he could go from the duel unharmed. He also is Bakura and Zorc's boss. Bakura's mission is obtain the millenium artifacts in order to obtain a new body and conquer the world and time. He own's 75% of ''ALL'' companies in the world, includin Four Kids.
340* in order to accomplish his plan, he has planned ALL the events from the start to the end. He is putting Yugi to duel again and again ''and again'' '''and again''' in order to make him stronger so he can be a suitable sacrifice to obtain his new body. He is, also, Florence, Zorc, Gozaburo, Noah, Dartz, Obama, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, [[WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged Freezer]], [[JerkAss Bill gates]] ''and'' [[TheMole T]][[TheDragon r]][[DiabolicalMastermind i]][[AffablyEvil s]][[ManipulativeBastard t]][[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a]][[ObfuscatingStupidity n's]] boss.
341* He has planned EVERY one of the series events or expected, succesfully, to see them by made without his help. He even make Kaiba fire his parents and make him think that he did that without his help!
342* The only thin that he hasn't planned is [[DeathSeeker Gramp's]] unabbility to die.
343* I'm sorry, was that paragraph meant to convey any meaning whatsoever? [[UsefulNotes/HowDoIUsedTense Because it didn't.]]
344
345[[WMG: Yuuma from [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal ZEXAL]] will be...]]
346* Puerto Rican.
347* Someone with cards so new no one knows how they work.
348** That title appears to have gone to Yusei.
349* Fond of all things '''Extreme'''! After all, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0J88R2gJtk that's what the X stands for]].
350** Confirmed in the Bonds Beyond Time Abridged (the movie).
351
352[[WMG:The Black Mage figure that appears on Ep 8 is actually Black Mage from 8-Bit Theather trying to take over that universe]]
353* Fighter likely ruined everything, because Thief said so.
354
355[[WMG: Mai's breasts are sentient.]]
356Which is why they're such a focal point. Even Mai is obsessed with them because they're mind-controlling her. Or something
357* Going by an above theory, Mai's breasts and Kemo's hair could be members of the same species. Hair is the male, and breasts are the female. Hence why Kemo's hair had a crush on her boobs.
358
359[[WMG: Related to the previous WMG, Mai's breasts are Tristan's hair's mother.]]
360Just because it would be funny. It makes sense.
361
362[[WMG: The Season 3 finale battle between Melvin and Yami]]
363It will involve Melvin trying to destroy the abridged series with a Shadow Game. While in the canon it causes the victim's bodies to dissolve, in this battle it causes the victim's abridged personalities to dissolve-when Yami loses lifepoints, he becomes less of a Jerkass, and more like he is [[ThePowerOfFriendship in the 4Kids dub.]] This is Melvin's ultimate back-up plan: once winning the children's card game, he will take Yami and the God Card's powers and "take the abridged out of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged Series!" This means that the abridged series will be reduced to the dub, effectively destroying it. And everyone, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Kaiba]] will believe such destruction of their personalities would be crossing the MoralEventHorizon. Melvin will show that he remains a monster in any continuity by laughing and mocking that they're reduced to their censored dub counterparts.
364* This needs to happen.
365** {{Jossed}}
366
367[[WMG: Future gags, themes and plot twists]]
368* When Mega Ultra Chicken is in its Phoenix Mode, Tristan will think it's Moltres.
369** And it will be beaten by Yugi playing [[Series/DoctorWho Rory]] [[MemeticBadass Williams]]
370*** Or Lawrence III.
371** Alternatively, Yugi will try to play a Master Ball card in place of Ragnarok. Tristan will protest, saying that Yugi should save it for Mewtwo.
372** Semi-confirmed-it's Joey who refers to it as Moltres.
373* Gozuboro will have replaced Al Kahn, and use the power of 4Kids to censor all guns-thus allowing him to take over the world with his own.
374** Jossed.
375* During the Yami vs Melvin duel, when Marik regains control of his body after and is about to surrender the duel to the Pharaoh, "I'll face myself" from Persona 4 soundtrack will play. That would be so damn fitting.
376* There will be a joke about Marik taking out his shirt after that.
377* When Mai gets her MoreThanMindControl, she will be oblivious to her breasts. Joey will consider this Dartz's MoralEventHorizon.
378* Dartz and his motorcycle gang will remember their Council of Evil days, and Season 4 will be their attempt at being better villains.
379* The demonic teddy bear will be revealed as a shell that Dartz will break, and Leviathan its true form.
380* After Marik briefly takes over Téa's body, she will ask what happened. Joey will reply that Malik got inside her. Téa will naturally take this the wrong way, and nosebleed.
381* Marik will have a FaceHeelTurn after realising that, since he's so [[AffablyEvil damn affable]], being a villain would be pointless. This may be a ploy to get more fangirls on his side. Or he turns good because of the 4Kids MindRape he'll suffer in the above WMG.
382** That creepy Chinese women in the KC Grand Prix will be introduced as "Vivian Wong - 4kids approved. Guns are bad, but pedophiles are A-OK."
383* Thief King Bakura will also say "tell my fangirls...I love them" at some point in his arc. Will be sorely disapointed if he doesn't.
384* Exodia Necros will be immune to attack, effects, magic or spell cards because, due to it being black, [[UnfortunateImplications no-one will want to hurt it since that would be racist.]] Kaiba cancels this out by saying that [[UnfortunateImplications a black man being immune to attacks because he's black]] [[LogicBomb is itself racist]] [[DoubleStandard because regular monsters aren't immune.]]
385** Jossed.
386* Vivian Wong will mistake Yugi for a baby panda and try to take him back to China.
387
388[[WMG: Marik is the true BigBad]]
389His childishness and naivete are just an elaborate ruse to gain him more fangirls. He'll bide his time, and then, when Season 5 begins, he'll rally his fangirl army, taking Bakura's place as the Big Bad. Melvin was intentionally created by him in order to make him appear more innocent and shift the blame to someone else while he waits in the shadows.
390And all of that UST with Yami Bakura? He was just playing to the audience, in a (very successful) attempt to get the [[YaoiFangirl yaoi fangirls]] on his side.
391* [[DracoInLeatherPants That puts his "Leather Pants" song in a new perspective.]] He needs the power of the pants, because his true nature won't be glossed over. Even if he is the hottest monster there is. The HoYay, however, is not a lie.
392** Or, Marik actually is completely straight, but does a poor job convincing everyone because he knows that if people think he is straight, he won't get any [[YaoiFangirl fangirls]]. This also explains why Pegasus couldn't have any people thinking he's straight: he also wants to use the fangirl army for his own ends. Yami Bakura does too, though he doesn't have to worry since he's already gay.
393
394[[WMG: The Abridged Series is a ShowWithinAShow.]]
395Namely it takes place in the 4Kids dub of the Anime/YuGiOh show. Its an AffectionateParody style biography by Yugi, who wrote it for lulz.
396* If that's true, he has a pretty low opinion of all his friends and once intimidating enemies. And the girl he's in love with.
397
398[[WMG: Téa will take control of Tristan's body]]
399After Yugi beats Team 4kids inhabiting Tristan's body Téa's mind will take over his body. The rest of the series will feature Téa as Tristan, Crump as Téa, and Tristan as a [[WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged Ghost]]-Robot-Monkey
400* Marik kicks Crump out of Téa's body at the beginning of Episode 53. Besides, he was "in her body long before it was considered cool."
401
402[[WMG: There will be a full-fledged crossover with WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged at some point]]
403
404The plot will focus on Marik and Bakura trying to find the Dragon Balls to wish themselves into [[HostileShowTakeover being the main characters of the show]], Ghost Nappa and the Pharoah [[FreakyFridayFlip accidentally switching places]] (putting them into the Millenium Puzzle and Vegeta's head, respectively) and the satanic teddy bear will end up having the crap scared out of him by [[EvilerThanThou Mr. Popo]].
405With Little Kuriboh's proficiency with Flash and Team 4 Star's Photoshop skills, it could happen.
406
407[[WMG: In episode 51 Joey was talking about Franchise/{{Batman}}. ]]
408As mentioned in {{Callback}} entry on main Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged page, Joey thinks that gay people live in caves and that bats and gay people are pretty much same thing.
409
410[[WMG: The current season will end with a FreakyFridayFlip between Tristan and Téa.]]
411During the finale, the Big 5 members will all use Tristan's body to duel Yugi just like the original. Since Crump is using Téa's body, this will leave it free for Tristan to commandeer. After defeating Evil Tristan, Téa will be revived ([[ThePowerofFriendship somehow]]) and will be forced to use Tristan's body since it's the only one left. This will either stick for the rest of the series, be used for a short while before being fixed via a future PlotDevice like the God Cards, or be [[HandWave hand waved]] away at the start of the next season with some sort of NoodleIncident.
412* Marik kicked Crump out of Téa's body.
413
414[[WMG: Téa will get her body back.]]
415Crump will get tired of being ignored and thus return Téa to her body. He'll probably say something like "At least the penguins pay attention to me..."
416 * Téa gets her body back because Marik (Who was inside of her before Crump) kicks him out.
417
418[[WMG: Bandit Keith's first name is Steve.]]
419He was taken over by Marik. He can only take over people who's name is Steve. Put two and two together.
420* Actually, in one of the evil council episodes they reveiled that his middle name is Steve. So jossed.
421
422[[WMG: Little Kuriboh read TheCaineMutiny.]]
423Marik can only mind control people with Steve in their name. A major character in the book is Steve Maryk.
424
425[[WMG: Florence is Spiderman]]
426* Hey, who gave Tristan access to the Internet?? Get off the computer Tristan!
427
428[[WMG: The end of the virtual arc will lead to the downfall of 4kids.]]
429In perhaps the most ironic instance of art following life, Noah will reveal that Gozabura was actually CEO of 4kids, and when the virtual world arc ends, like in real life, 4kids will declare bankruptcy, freeing Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged forever from the tyranny of Americanization, Merchandise driven executives and stingy lawyers. Unfortunately with this new freedom, the characters will try and create their own villains instead of the ones 4kids had planned, ending up with the season 4 motorcycle freaks.
430
431[[WMG: Mako is in love with [[VideoGame/BatenKaitos Xelha]]]]
432>_>
433
434[[WMG: Kaiba will say 'Screw the rules, I have money!' in the battle against Zorc and defeat him]]
435Creator/LittleKuriboh knows how much everyone loves that line and has been teasing us with it ever since episode 1. In Ancient Egypt, as Kaiba is battling Zorc, Zorc will attempt to say another variation of 'Screw the rules, I have money.' However, Kaiba will cut him off and shout how pissed he is that everyone keeps stealing his line. Then, the scene where Kaiba shouts, 'Let's show him how we duel back home' will be replaced be, 'Here's how it goes: SCREW THE RULES! I! HAVE! MONEY!'
436
437[[WMG: Zorc will experience DefeatMeansFriendship when the story gets to him]]
438Unfortunately, by that point the series will be almost over, so he'll get KilledOffForReal just for spite.
439
440[[WMG: Mecha-Nesbitt controls the Bots that have been taking down the series' account.]]
441Well, considering Joey outright calls Johnson, the legal guy, as being responsible for the two legal issue bannings, it's not a stretch to say the other 5, much less effective attacks on LK's profile have been from the robots Mecha-Nesbitt enjoys so much. Plus, as the only Big 5 member to successfully steal a body [[spoiler:in canon]] it makes sense that Nesbitt here is the most effective at banning LK.
442
443[[WMG: Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged is a [[ShowWithinAShow show within]] [[NoInnerFourthWall a show.]] ]]
444Think about it: despite the fact that the series is cancelled, we're still capable of watching it. Despite supposedly being fictional entities, the Big 5 and Noah have somehow become 4Kids members. There's also Zorc and Pals. This is due to Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series being ''itself'' part of a fictional universe; the collection of videos and stories Creator/LittleKuriboh has written. While the gang is aware that they're part of the abridged series, they ''aren't'' aware that their "real world" is fictional. This is the true fourth wall Shadi has been assigned to protect. The reason why there's so many crossovers with WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged is because it takes place in "the real world." It's also why the characters there don't break the fourth wall. This would mean Melvin destroyed the [[NoInnerFourthWall inner fourth wall]].
445* Continuing from there, the outer fouth wall will be broken, and someone will explain that Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series wasn't actually canceled and that the Big 5 and Noah arent actually 4Kids.
446
447[[WMG: The souls collected during season 4 will be called [[Manga/DragonBall Dragon Souls]].]]
448There are seven major characters that have their souls taken on-screen before the duel with Dartz: Yugi, Joey, Rex, Weevil, Valon, Alister, and Raphael. The souls summon a giant snake-like dragon. Do the math.
449
450[[WMG: Mai is a ThirdPersonPerson]]
451Her last name is actually "Breasts"; "Valentine" is either a nickname or her middle name.
452
453[[WMG: Future Character Depictions]]
454* Sigfried- A relative of Hans and Gruber.
455* Season 0!Bakura- A full American instead of British. Possibly a stereotypical ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' player.
456** Possibly Jossed? There has been a few con videos where LK has discussed this with the crowd, and he says he had debated this personality (or at least, the American part) though the crowd sounded displeased. Whether this will affect how he appears is out there, but he DID say that he was going to start doing the Season 0 out of order, with Bakura's episode up next in the lineup. We'll see.
457* Bobasa- '''[[WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged POPO!!]]'''
458* Orochimaru and Kabuto- I know it's from [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow a different show]] by Creator/LittleKuriboh, but I'll still put this one out there. They will be depicted as [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Dr. Weird and Steve]]. Considering Creator/LittleKuriboh and his love for Creator/AdultSwim ShoutOuts, it should be expected.
459
460[[WMG: Duel Disk Systems are in fact early prototypes of Pip-Boys]]
461Meaning that WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries takes place in the VideoGame/{{Fallout}} universe. The first demonstration of the VATS system from VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} was when Kaiba threw that card in Episode 36. In addition, the BigBad of BBT Abridged, Paradox, is from the world that the games take place in, and the Great War of 2077 was actually a Children's Card Game Tournament, which is what he is referring to when he says that a Card Game destroys the world.
462* Jossed. In the abridged universe, Fallout is just a game. A game Yami plays.
463* Not the first time a video game[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Homefront?action=edit]] has predicted the future.
464
465[[WMG: The Final Episode]]
466As the Pharaoh walks into the next world, one of his friends waiting on the other side says, "By the way, we only play TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering here". ([[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]])
467
468[[WMG: Yugi won't give his soul when Yami loses in season 4]]
469He'll let Yami's soul be taken due to finally having enough of the bondage slave business shown in What Would Yugi Do. This will lead to a(n awkward) situation where Yugi is walking around with Yami's physique, but Yugi's voice. Yami will eventually lie that he won't do any more bondage so Yugi will let him share bodies again.
470
471[[WMG: Kaiba likes Tristan]]
472He actively worries that 'his precious Téa' who Marik is threatening is 'the one with the pointy hair and Bullwinkle voice', and he finds Evil Tristan hilarious...until he discovers that it's really Nesbitt. Clearly this means Kaiba actively ''likes'' Tristan!
473
474[[WMG: The scenes of "Pharaoh's Throne" didn't happen in the past, but was an act made by the current day Yu-Gi-Oh! characters.]]
475It explains Priest Seto's speech([[{{Adorkable}} Kaiba was trying too hard to stay in character]]), how Atem knew what a mirror is despite the fact it haven't been invented yet, or how Thief King Bakura knew about Lady Gaga.
476* Or it could an alternative universe, where the characters are either time travelers or they were aware of those stuffs to begin with.
477
478[[WMG: Tristan is [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Dragonborn]].]]
479His ''voice'' gives him super strength.
480
481[[WMG: Tristan won't be possessed by Florence]]
482Tristan, instead of being possessed by Yami Bakura to before they go to room that teaches how to write Dan Green in hiroglyphs, will become evil himself due to the evil influence of Zorc (and Cody) on his mind. And Tristan will suddenly gain a deck for this duel because of Zorc and Cody's Suite Life [[IncrediblyLamePun on the Deck]].
483
484[[WMG:If and when Kaiba dq's Siegfried for going under a false name, he'll get called out for it]]
485Something among the lines of: "[[CallBack Oh, so NOW you're disqualifying people for entering under false names!]]"
486
487[[WMG: Little Kuriboh is a Thiefshipper.]]
488He's gone way too far into pairing Marik and Florence for it not to simply be a joke on the original series' HoYay between the two.
489* I'm fairly certain he confirmed this himself in several conventions. He has also written [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/134036/Little-Kuriboh M-rated Thiefshipping fanfiction.]]
490
491[[WMG: [[WhamEpisode Ultimately]], [[TheBadGuyWins Florence will win.]]]]
492At the end of season 5, he defeats the Pharao, obtains all the millenium items, [[UnholyMatrimony officially becomes an item with Marik]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking becomes the protagonist of a]] ''[[ShowWithinAShow Zorc and Pals]]'' SpinOff.
493
494[[PyrrhicVictory Unfortunately for him]], he doesn't get to enjoy any of this, because [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the show has just ended for real]].
495
496[[WMG: The Celtic Guardian would have indeed defeated the Egyptian God]]
497Because of the Heart of the Cards and all that jazz. Plus, for the RuleOfFunny.

499[[WMG: Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged is a show in the canon show, by Seto Kaiba.]]
500Seto Kaiba started out just trying to make an autobiography, but thought making it ComedicSociopathy would sell. This would explain the traits of the Abridged characters versus the canon:
501* The LampshadeHanging on the MundaneMadeAwesome is due to [[FlatEarthAtheist Kaiba]] being continuously baffled over how what is essentially a children's card game manages to be so important. Yami, being a symbol of the bizarre "the fate of the world" crap he dealt with through the whole series, is portrayed as a pompous, immature [[TheCaligula Caligula]] as a TakeThat. The DepravedBisexual tendencies are probably [[FoeRomanceSubtext Kaibaservice.]]
502* The Abridged Series has even more HoYay than normal because Kaiba's trying to appeal to [[YaoiFangirl the female]] [[GuyOnGuyIsHot demographic.]]
503* 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 prevent him begin targeted.
504* 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 reputation is a reflection of being a teenage heart-throb in the main series.
505* Abridged!Joey is Kaiba's TakeThat against Joey, hence why he's portrayed as a Jerkass who cares more about trading cards. The UsefulNotes/FurryFandom and homoerotic dreams about Kaiba? That's plain old, unadulterated FoeRomanceSubtext on Kaiba's part
506* Gozuboro Kaiba was portrayed as LaughablyEvil because Kaiba wanted to lay one last TakeThat against his old man, completely wrecking his reputation as a serious weapons manufacture. Dartz is a similar insult
507* Since Kaiba doesn't buy into the "fate of the world rest on trading cards" spiel, he turns Marik and Bakura into comic relief. The actors are gay in real life, and willing to make [[SelfDeprecation jokes at their expense]] about their relationship-Marik's actor decided Abrided!Marik would be [[CampGay camp]][[TransparentCloset totally not gay]]. The recent TearJerker about their break-up reflects the actors [[RealitySubtext breaking up.]]
508* 4Kids exist in the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' universe, and Kaiba is not a fan. ''Dragon Ball'' exists as a show in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' universe as well, hence the Team Four Star references.
509** The only problem with this theory is that it would require [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Kaiba]] [[NoSenseOfHumor to have a sense of humor.]] Not to mention enough self-awareness to be willing to make fun of himself (episode 62 and the blue eyes white dragon jet anyone?).
510*** Mokuba is a co-writer.
511
512[[WMG: The ''real'' Melvin from "''Kill Your Family''" that Marik based his second personality on is still out there..]]
513And he be a recurring villain once the Melvin in Marik is dead...
514
515[[WMG: Bakura is actually a guy]]
516* But that's crazy...
517
518[[WMG: Predictions for the second ClipShow (with Téa and Serenity)]]
519* When they flashback to when Marik got Creator/TeamFourStar suspended, Yami will say ''That's definitely going to be a dated joke.''
520* There will be a TakeThat at ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' with the VR World arc.
521--> '''Téa:''' ''I'm a woman and I have no idea what I'm doing.''\
522'''Yugi:''' ''This is kind of like Literature/SwordArtOnline if the writers had more respect for women.''
523
524[[WMG: Marik will make a HeelFaceTurn or at least pursue a different goal.]]
525* Marik is currently jumping bodies, one time taking over Téa to meet with Melvin. So far, we haven't really seen him do anything that suggests that he is interested in anything besides things for personal gain and vengeance upon Melvin. He'll probably return in flesh and blood when some of the characters comatized/possibly dead during the Battle City Semi-Finals (Odion, Mai, Bakura) return to the show. Melvin will be banished when Odion wakes up.
526
527[[WMG: At one point, Ishizu will say "[[CatchPhrase Because shut]] [[PhraseCatcher up, Mokuba]]."]]
528* Come on LK, combining two similar catch phrases together? It's just too crazy to resist trying!
529
530[[WMG: Episode 61 is StylisticSuck, brought about by WriterRevolt.]]
531* After the episode was uploaded, quite a few people complained that it felt extremely rushed, and that [[SeriesContinuityError Melvin was called Marik and Mega Ultra Chicken was called the Winged Dragon of Ra]], and that the episode ended on a cliffhanger, which almost never happens. Consider that there was less of a gap between it and the previous episode than there has been lately, and one starts to think that maybe [=LittleKuriboh=] was getting really frustrated with people demanding to know when the next episode would be, and so deliberately made it as rushed as possible, to say "see what happens when I don't take my time with this." Or, considering that [[LongRunner it has taken longer to abridge just Battle City than it took to air the whole, unabridged anime]], he might just be getting tired of it.
532
533[[WMG: They're going to skip the KC Grand Prix]]
534* Since Siegfied doesn't want to take over or destroy the World (or taking over someones Body) Yugi doesn't have a Reason to fight him and goes straight to the Taveling to the Past Arc.
535* Jossed by LK’s Twitter, where he matter-of-factly said he wasn’t skipping it.
536
537[[WMG: Marik is still actively working with Yami Bakura.]]
538* Anyone who is familiar with the unabridged ''Anime/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.
539* While Marik being evil is very likely, as the HeelFaceTurn in question was openly mocked, the whereabouts of the Millenium Necklace and Ring are up for debate. It might just be a continuity hiccup.
540
541[[WMG: Slender Man will try to join the Evil Council.]]
542"HEY GUYS! CAN I BE IN YOUR EVIL COUNCIL?"
543I'm surprised he ''hasn't'' tried yet, to be honest.
544
545[[WMG: Paradox attempted to kill Yugi's grandpa]]
546When Paradox's dragons take to the skies in Yugi's present day, Grandpa mentioned the Americans attacked with dragons in 1945. It's possible Paradox planned on killing Grandpa in order to prevent Yugi's eventual birth.
547
548[[WMG: Slenderman is another one of Marik's Imaginary Friends.]]
549Melvin and Slenderman clearly know each other (in Lets Play Bloodlines, he refers to him as an "old friend"). Marik could have created Slenderman as a friend for Melvin, since Marik dislikes him and Melvin seems to at least tolerate his company. Since Marik hasn't seen too many faces, Slenderman doesn't have a face and can look like anyone. This is further compounded by Concrete Giraffes, where Bakura doesn't remember any of the events that happened while he was Slenderman's roommate; those events never actually took place, so Bakura would not be able to remember them. As for him actually manifesting in the world to do things like star in movies, the powers of either Melvin or the Shadow Realm made him real.
550----
551[[WMG: LK will play the Doma arc straight in terms of characterisation for Yami Yugi.]]
552In 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.
553* 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.
554---
555[[WMG: Mai will be a doppleganger in Season 4.]]
556* ...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. It also explains her different voice in Season 4.
557---
558[[WMG:When Thief King Bakura starts appearing in the story proper in season five, he will be known exclusively as "Florence."]]
559Although 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 ''great'' way to differentiate between the 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!").
560---
561[[WMG: Possessed Kuribabylon is One of Zorc's Hairy Balls]]
562[[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110902005816/yugioh/images/archive/6/6c/20140921012652!Kuribabylon-JP-Anime-DM-NC-2.png Just look at it!]] If his penis can be a dragon, then why not have a furry demon as one of his testicles?
563
564[[WMG:At least one duel in this series will actually follow the rules of the game and have real playing.]]
565A 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.
566
567[[WMG: Season Zero!Kaiba will get KilledOffForReal]]
568* First, the Season Zero visual of the Mind Crush appears over his chest, making it look like his heart was hit. Combine this with the Season Zero Abridged version of Atem being a VillainProtagonist who has already killed Ushio and Jiro, it looks very likely that Kaiba will become a victim. Other characters may see this as a MoralEventHorizon, since all Kaiba wanted was to be friends.
569
570[[WMG: Kaiba's obsession with dragons has escalated so much because either Joey turned him into a furry, or he already was a (closeted) one.]]
571If the latter is true then it explains why he wanted the Blue-Eyes card so badly at the beginning, and it could also be the reason why he ridicules Joey for it; he's in denial. And if not, then when Joey told Kaiba to Google image search "yiff", he actually did. Either by coincidence or after learning what it is, he found dragon porn and liked it, kicking his existing non-furry dragon obsession into overdrive and adding a sexual component to it. This, combined with his general insanity, is why he gets aroused at the mere prospect of dragons and why he wanted to have sex with Critias. And of course, he shoehorns the Blue-Eyes into as much stuff as possible because it's his fursona.
572
573[[WMG: The series will end at Episode 100.]]
574Littlekuriboh's general rule is to abridge every multi-parter into one episode, regardless of whether that multi-parter ran for two, three, or ''five'' episodes in the original show (the only exception I can think of right now was from [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Season 1]], where he crammed all the semifinal duels (''three'' two-parters) into one episode). If he keeps that rule up, the episode count should fall ''just'' over 100.
575
576As of this writing (February 2018), the Doma arc has three multi-parters left to abridge - "Grappling with a Guardian", "A Duel with Dartz", and "Rise of the Great Beast". That should bring the episode count to 82.
577
578The KC Grand Prix/Championship arc has six multi-parters and one one-parter, bringing the count to 89.
579
580That leaves 11 episodes to do Millennium World/Dawn of the Duel, which... is probably going to be a squeeze, since this last season is ''very'' plot-heavy ''and'' less built around children's card-games. Merging one-parters and multi-parters will probably be necessary at some point... that said, the majority of said merges will probably happen to the [[{{Filler}} much less substantial]] Grand Prix/Championship; LK might even condense the whole thing into one episode like a super-sized "Everybody Hates Mako" if he ''really'' wants to sprint for the finish line).
581
582[[WMG: Yugi will learn how the card game actually works ]]
583And will regain his Yami Yugi personality making him the OnlySaneMan turining most duels into Yami explaining how the TCG actually works and snaking in a less jerkiness way. This is all because this world is an illusion to trap Yami and turn him evil. Also I'd like to see the OhCrap response everyone has.
584
585[[WMG: The Pharaoh was actually a good guy when he was alive.]]
586Sure, Yami Yugi likes to talk about Slavemas and what not, but he has no actual memories of his previous life. He can't even read hieroglyphics. So, contrary to what Raphael said, there's a chance that the Pharaoh was a real upstanding kind of guy, kind to animals, friend to all children, yadda yadda. But being stuck in the Puzzle for a thousand years by himself made him both amnesiac and eternally pissed off, and now Yami is genuinely evil. When he talks about "Slavemas" or making the first bridge, Yami just assumes that's what he did then because that's what he'd do now if he got the chance.
587
588Alternatively, Yami isn't the actual Pharaoh- he's just some jackass who looked like the Pharaoh. Learning this will break him.
589
590[[WMG: If Dark Side of Dimensions gets abridged]]
591* Someone's going to think that the 'banish to a different dimension' thing is censorship, only for Aigami to say that he's not killing them, like the opposite of the duel at the docks.
592* Once again, Bakura will get annoyed that his friends don't seem to care about him, given that they don't ask about his future and don't care that he's missing until pointed out. Until Yugi plays a children's card game for his sake.
593* During the scene where Bakura's father appears with white hair, Bakura will add that he was upset because he was out of blue hair dye.
594* Someone's going to force Kaiba to admit his feelings for Atem.
595* When Kaiba talks to Yugi in the middle of the street, they can't hold a real conversation because everyone's beeping at them.
596* They're also going to make fun of Kaiba being the dictator of Domino City.
597* The heroes will be shocked at Aigami's ability to kill people without challenging them to a game.
598* Shadi's adopted children will also adopt Borat's mannerisms, possibly with a ShoutOut to the sequel.
599
600[[WMG: In the Millennium World, The Pharaoh's friends and allies will think he's acting very unlike himself...]]
601* ...[[BaitAndSwitch because he's so much]] ''[[TookALevelInKindness nicer]]'' [[CharacterDevelopment than he was originally]].
