->"I just realized what the 'G' stands for in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''... [[CallBack don't watch it!"]]
-->'''-Yami Yugi'''

!!Tropes
* AlreadyTheCase:
-->'''Shadi:''' I am here to warn you that your father is going to try to--
-->'''Marik:''' It already freaking happened!
* AngstWhatAngst: Invoked. Marik only needs a few seconds to get over the trauma of having killed his own father. Of course, this could be seen as a JustifiedTrope considering what his father [[AbusiveParents was like]].
* BadassBiker: Young Marik aspires to be this when he grows up.
* TheCameo: [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] portrays the vendor with the TV.
* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: Downplayed. Kaiba plans to download ''Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime'' illegally, "just like everybody else".
* EvilVersusEvil: Yami Bakura (assisted by [[VillainTeamUp Marik]]) goes toe to toe with [[EvilerThanThou Melvin]].
* IdiotBall: Odion plans to hide Marik's absence from their father by stuffing a fluffed pillow in Marik's bed.
* ImaginaryFriend: Melvin started out as Marik's imaginary friend, but things [[SplitPersonalityTakeover got out of hand]] quickly.
* MisplacedRetribution: Yugi questions how Marik's StartOfDarkness was the Pharaoh's fault, arguing that his family (primarily his father and Ishizu) were the ones who abused him in the first place. When Ishizu attempts to counter Yugi's argument by pointing out how Marik's role as tombkeeper led to such a miserable life, Yugi ''also'' points out that Marik would've never been able to even meet the Pharaoh as he had been dead for thousands of years at that point.[[note]]In the original, Marik did openly resent the Pharaoh because of the life he was forced into. Then later on, Odion, in an attempt to keep his younger brother in the dark about his alter-ego, informed Marik that [[SpiritAdvisor Shadi]] was ordered by the Pharaoh's spirit to kill his father. The Abridged Series, however, has absolutely no mention of Marik resenting the Pharaoh as a kid and Odion's lie to Marik was completely cut as well.[[/note]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Marik has been underground so long that ''everything'' on the surface impresses him. This includes poverty, disease, and [[RunningGag rags]].
* NoIndoorVoice: Marik, during the [[RuleOfFunny worst time possible]].
-->'''Ishizu:''' Remember, we must be very quiet so that we don't disturb our father.
-->'''Marik:''' HEY ISHIZU LOOK AT THAT THING OVER THERE I WONDER WHAT IT IS. ''Loudly'' do I wonder about it.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Yugi calls Ishizu out for not bothering to warn anyone that they were locked in close quarters with her brother's AxeCrazy SuperPoweredEvilSide.
* RememberedTooLate: Shadi comes to warn Ishizu and Marik that something terrible will happen if they disobey their father ''after'' they've already done so.
* RuleOfCool: After deciding to face off with each other, Melvin and Yami Bakura both take out ''[[Franchise/StarWars freaking lightsabers]]''.
* ShoutOut:
** Marik plans to befriend a seagull, find a giant octopus, and fall in love with a handsome prince when he's above ground, ala Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989''.
** Later on when Florence reveals that he brought back-up in his stand aganist Melvin.
-->'''Marik''': ''Hey! [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} That's my bread and butter you're]] [[[SoundEffectBleep EFF]]][[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} ing with]].''
* SmallNameBigEgo: Hank Ishtar describes himself as "[[BlatantLies the finest human being in the world]]".
* SoundtrackDissonance: Hank's brutal FamilyUnfriendlyDeath is accompanied by a voiceover of him singing "Cats in the Cradle", albeit with different lyrics.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: "A fluffed pillow...? That's ingenious!"
* WeaksauceWeakness: Melvin is an unstoppable force of death and destruction... as long as Odion isn't near him and fully conscious, in which case he goes back to being [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil In A Marik]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Yugi calls out Ishizu for being a bystander/contributor to Marik's HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood.
* YaoiFanboy: Marik finds a very suspicious comic book lying around that gives him "cravings".
