->"Anime/YuGiOh: it stays crunchy- even in milk!"
-->'''-Yami Yugi'''

!!Tropes
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The names of the 3 Egyptian god cards: Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Executive Producer, and... Mega Ultra Chicken. Kaiba's protest over how dumb this is just gets met with a NoYou.
* CharacterTitle: Yami is quick to bring up the fact that ''Anime/YuGiOh'' follows this trope when Yugi angsts over whether he is actually the main character.
* CompensatingForSomething: Kaiba confesses to flagging Youtube videos just because he has an extremely small penis. Considering the problems that this series has had with staying on Youtube, this comment doubles as a ''searing'' TakeThat.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Kaiba is such an unflinching skeptic that he still refuses to believe Ishizu even after witnessing a FlashBack that supports absolutely everything she's saying.
* ItWillNeverCatchOn: Kaiba scoffs at Ishizu's insistence that he will one day run [[Anime/YuGiOhGX a dueling academy]].
* MediumAwareness: Ishizu's Millenium Necklace grants this power to the wearer. Fourth walls beware.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: "That's right, Kaiba. A ''giant''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis .]] '''Rock'''."
** "OH MY GOD ANOTHER GIANT ROCK!"
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Lampshaded; Kaiba questions why Pegasus didn't use the 3 Egyptian god cards that he created during his duel with Yugi if they're that powerful. Ishizu responds by claiming that "the writers hadn't thought of them yet." Interestingly, Ishizu continues to say that Pegasus gave her the cards to keep them safe, and then "Chenquieh!" later revealed that Pegasus did so to prevent anybody from unleashing the dark powers within the cards, so this is actually more justified than what Kaiba thinks (Though why Pegasus didn't just simply destroy the cards that ''he'' made, as Yugi lampshaded, is another issue).
* {{Reincarnation}}: Yugi and Kaiba are reincarnations of the Pharaoh and the Pharaoh's high priest, respectively.
* ScrewDestiny: Averted. Kaiba is actually pretty excited that he's destined to play card games with Yugi forever.
--> '''Kaiba:''' [[ItsTheBestWhateverEver Best. Destiny. Ever.]]
* SpoilAtYourOwnRisk: In-universe. The winner of the ancient battle between the Pharaoh and his high priest was hidden by "ancient Egyptian spoiler tags".
* ThinlyVeiledDubCountryChange: Since the dubbed version of the series has a habit of Americanizing things, no one is sure whether they should be welcoming Ishizu to America or Japan.
* WhamEpisode: One of the first episodes that actually attempts to start in on the main plotline of the series.
* WhyDontYouMarryIt: "Why don't you marry the Pharaoh if you love him so much?!"
