* KickTheSonOfABitch: In ''Forbidden Memories'', he turns Heishin into a card over petty annoyance, and summarily burns the carded Heishin when he remarks that he was the ugliest and nosiest card he had ever created. He follows with a sarcastic "Oops..." when he does so. This hampers attempts to hate him since, up until then, Heishin had murdered many innocent people during his iron-fisted rule of Ancient Egypt.

* MythologyGag: The Knight of Hanoi and Brave Battler will sometimes comment on having a bad hand when losing a Duel and the Knight will sometimes try to pretend he opened with a good hand, referencing the Duel between a Knight of Hanoi and Brave Battler in the ''VRAINS'' anime where they both managed to draw unplayable opening hands.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainsOutShopping: The Knight of Hanoi doesn't do anything more evil than bragging about the group's achievements. When beaten, he sometimes insists that he's just there to Duel for fun.

to:

* BadassBiker: Wild Dan, given that he's had experience with Speed Duels. Erika ''wants'' to be one, but is still in school and doesn't have her own Duel Runner yet.


Added DiffLines:

* GretzkyHasTheBall: Wild Dan constantly uses terms for Turbo Duels when engaging in regular Duels, such as frequently mislabeling his Spell Cards as "Speed Spells". Even after Turbo Duel events started occurring, they're largely [=PvP=] events (meaning only Legendary Duelists get involved, so he still gets left out) that use mostly the same rules as other Duels.


Added DiffLines:

* MistakenForServant: The Duel Column article for introducing Link Summoning has Vega mistaking Sunny for an advanced in-house AI, when she's actually not.


Added DiffLines:

* NaiveNewcomer: Vega's voicelines suggest that she's new to Dueling.


Added DiffLines:

* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Each world has at least one world-exclusive Standard Duelist (usually a few) who's always seen in their school uniform.


Added DiffLines:

* TokenEvilTeammate: The Knight of Hanoi in the VRAINS world claims to be a cosplayer when he loses, but his other dialogue is more reflective of the real deal, especially him referring to Varis as "Master Varis." Fortunately, he's also never seen actually doing anything evil and is prone to being the butt of jokes like the rest.

* SNKBoss: Gate Guardian, Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, Meteor Black Dragon... and for those who haven't played the older video games, in those days these cards were standard tribute monsters. And in ''Forbidden Memories'', they didn't need tributes either. Hope you have a Raigeki or three.

And in ''Forbidden Memories'', they didn't need tributes either. Hope you have a Raigeki or three. Not to mention he was able to see your facedown cards too. This only applies to his ''Forbidden Memories'' appearance however, he is a much weaker foe in all his other appearances.

* VillainDecay: In his first appearance in ''Forbidden Memories'', Heishin is the BigBad and is a legitimate, menacing threat, that does defeat the player character at the start of the game, conquers Egypt, and nearly succeeds in his plan for world domination even after being defeated by the player character in their rematch, only being foiled at the end when [[SealedEvilInACan DarkNite]] refuses to obey after being summoned and turns on him. After this, he gets less and less threatening as the games go on, from being the BigBad of ''Forbidden Memories'' to an UnwittingPawn who's incompetent in battle in most other appearances, to ultimately not being canonized in the series proper and so no longer appearing in the games as a result.

After this, he gets less and less threatening as the games go on, from being the BigBad of ''Forbidden Memories'' Memories'', to being just one of the opponents during the Egypt stage of in ''Dark Duel Stories'' (where his deck is quite a bit weaker than the other Egypt stage opponents), and then to an UnwittingPawn who's incompetent in battle in most other appearances, ''Duelists Of The Roses'' and ''The Falsebound Kingdom'', to ultimately not being canonized in the series proper and so no longer appearing in the games after ''The Falsebound Kingdom'' as a result.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Mia sometimes declares "Get ready to feel the flow!" when talked to, at which point she apologizes and says [[GotMeDoingIt it's something that her schoolmate says all the time]]. Amusingly, she'll even say this to Yuma, the person whose catchphrase she's borrowing.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Mia wears the Heartland Academy's second-year uniform, making her the same age as Shark and one year older than Yuma, but is apparently often mistaken for being much younger than that (Ruby, who's a year below her, once mistakes her for a ''preschooler'').

* VocalDissonance: Wild Dan is a gruff-looking biker that seems to be at least middle-aged, but his English voice sounds considerably more high-pitched and younger than you'd expect from someone of his appearance. Sam Black, who voiced him in English, states that he didn't see what the character looked like until after he turned in his performance.
