!!Tropes
* BlatantLies: Tristan convinces Serenity that he is the main character of the show, has more fangirls than Joey, and that said fangirls like to pair him up ''with'' Joey (though that last lie could be considered [[CrackPairing technically correct]]).
* BrooklynRage: Joey [[TropeNamer names the trope]].
* ButtMonkey: Bakura spends the next three episodes getting whacked by various objects.
--> '''Bakura:''' I say, Yugi, can I be in this episode? ''(gets hit by holo-projector)'' Oh bugger!
* CardCarryingVillain: Yami is quick to point out how inconsistent Marik's evil plans are. Marik insists that the mere fact that he is evil is all that matters.
* CurbStompBattle: Yugi reveals that his battle against Jaiden in the final episode of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' (which never got an actual conclusion) was this. Apparently, Jaiden started crying so hard that the network refused to air it.
** {{Retcon}}: the next episode of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries'' revealed that Jaden WAS about to win, when [[DiabolusExNihilo a smell of onions got caught in his nose]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Mako threatens to kill Weevil's family just for calling him a "freaky fish guy".
* DontExplainTheJoke: When Steve is watching "Eden: The Zhang Chronicles".
--> '''Zhang:''' You my wang, G?\\
'''Wang:''' Yes, I am Colonel Wang.\\
'''Zhang:''' Can I touch you?\\
'''Steve:''' ''(Chuckles)'' It is funny because "wang" means "penis"!
* EyeCatch: [[TitleDrop "WHO'S THAT MOKÉMON?"]] "IT'S BUNEARY!"
--> '''Mokuba:''' Buneary!
* ForcedMeme: Yami accuses "Brooklyn Rage" of being this and urges Joey to only use his original CatchPhrase (Nyeh). This ends up being HilariousInHindsight after it became an accepted meme on the internet regardless.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Yami easily defeats Steve the Rare Hunter because his status as such makes him hopelessly predictable.
* GetOut: Some guy gets kicked out of Domino City for heckling Kaiba.
--> '''Kaiba:''' For those of you who are unfamiliar with the rules of Duel Monsters, I will now explain them to you in detail. You start off by shuffling your deck-\\
'''Heckler:''' BOOORING!\\
'''Kaiba:''' Who said that? Who the [BLEEP] said that? I'm warning you, I'm not going to start this tournament until somebody owns up. Now who said it?\\
'''Heckler:''' Sorry, that was me. My bad.\\
'''Kaiba:''' Get the hell out of my city!\\
'''Heckler:''' ''[walks away]''\\
'''Kaiba:''' Good. Moving right along...
* ImaginaryFriend: Grandpa thinks that Yami is one. Turns out to be HypocriticalHumor considering that Grandpa himself [[CargoShip spends time with]] Black Luster Soldier, whose personality actually ''is'' imaginary.
* KillItWithFire: What Weevil plans to do with the cards of his opponents after winning the tournament. [[MakingASplash Mako]] promptly threatens him with ElementalRockPaperScissors.
* NeverSayDie: Marik doesn't want to kill Yugi, he just wants to "destroy him a little".
* ShoutOut:
** The episode title and a large portion of the plot is one to ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
** Kaiba's doctor gives ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' as an example of characters gaining synthetic body parts. Kaiba replies that [[TakeThat he doesn't watch crap]].
** Yami first thinks that Marik's description of "the most feared anime organization known to man" refers to the Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Kaiba is very careful to stress that his locator card PlotCoupons is ''nothing'' like the star chip PlotCoupons from season one.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Kaiba's brush with {{Fingore}} in the previous episode is easily and inexplicably fixed by a doctor.
* UnusualEuphemism: Yugi refers to Mai's boobs as "giant levitating chesticles".
