: Contain the following tropes:

#-A

• 10-Minute Retirement: In the wake of his defeat of Spencer towards the end of Season 1, Thomas, falling into a Heroic B So D, vows never to duel again, saying he is afraid of how he was willing to win the duel even if Spencer was killed as a result. He snaps out of it by the end of the following chapter, but doesn't truly recover until his duel with Lady.
• 20 Minutes into the Past: Seasons 1-4, Pyramid of Light, Night of the Living Slime, Santa Claws is Coming!, David Xadashi, and Lisa Drake (except the final two chapters) take place in 2009, even though they were released throughout 2016-2020. Seasons 5-6, Journey to Redemption, The Champion's Challenge, Red Rocket & Yellow Streak, and TRANSCEND GAME take place in 2010, despite released throughout 2019-2023. Legend of the Six Dragons takes place in 2012, despite being released in 2021-2024.
• 11th-Hour Superpower: During the final turn of the duel with Diablon, Thomas Unity summons "Holactie the Creator of Light" herself to end it by fusing the "Three Egyptian Gods. He does it once again on Season 6 during the final battle with Zorc Necrophades, allowing him to win the Shadow RPG.
• A Birthday, Not a Break:
  • Emily spends her sixteenth birthday with friends and family, but as she goes upstairs to try on a new shirt, Witty Phantom and his goons attack her. Thomas defeats Witty Phantom and kills him with "Obelisk the Terminator," and this causes Diablon's seal in his heart to be broken while Witty Phantom's goons drag Emily into the Duel Monsters Spirit World where she is imprisoned by the Court of Darkness.
  • In a deleted scene, Thomas feared going through this on his birthday. But in the end, he is happy to realize that he had been worrying for nothing, and seems to have opened up better when it comes to celebrations.
• A-Cup Angst:
  • Diote, who is not completely flat chested, was quite jealous of Anastasia for having a large bust, using it as a means to slut shame her... although she was also attracted to Anastasia because of how well endowed she was, even claiming during the final duel that she enjoyed feeling the princess' breasts and wishes she and her to be together for always and always. However, it's hard to say how sincere Diote's angst really was, considering she's, well, Diote.
  • In Ride 33 of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 6D's: Legend of the Six Dragons," Asagi and Mayura playfully tease and accuse Carlie of being this when they see her wearing a black undershirt with the new outfit she tries on at the mall to hide any cleavage the corset might have accentuated, claiming she's jealous of busty women like Sherry and Misty, something Carlie denies.
• A Darker Me: Invoked by Gina in her duel with Stanley. The gimmick of the duel is that both players are dressed up and acting like superheroes and villains, with Gina's Temptress Gotta persona being an Expy of Catwoman and Black Cat who uses her sex appeal to her advantage. While Gina is under the Plana's influence, she plays the Temptress Gatta role much more seriously and comfortably, feeling as though that persona is who she truly is, though that might have something to do with how conflicted she is by her bisexuality.
• A Date With Rosie Palms: In chapter 185, Emily finds a mountain hot spring on the night of a blue moon, and takes a much needed bath. Said blue moon starts affecting her mood and triggers a flashback to her past life as Anastasia where she had passionate sex with Anakin (Thomas' past self) in the very same hot spring. After the erotic flashback, a very aroused Emily fully succumbs to the blue moon's influence and masturbates, fantasizing about her and Thomas. Though the act of fingering herself is never shown, when it cuts back to her later in the chapter, we are greeted with her screaming in pleasure as she orgasms, as the blue moon's influence fades away. Once Emily regains her senses, she realizes what she's done and is mortified.
• A Father to His Men:
  • Nathaniel to his monsters. He absolutely hates it when one of them is sent to the GY. In his rematch with Thomas, he surrenders by sacrificing all his LP to revive all his monsters from the GY.
  • As Pharaoh, Atem is younger than most of his troops, but is fiercely protective of them and his people. At one point, he heads into a potentially lethal situation with little firepower because his would've been killed by Montague otherwise.
• A Man Is Always Eager: As most men in this universe want sex, Prince Randolph makes this painfully clear to Anastasia (just because they were arranged to be married) regardless of whether Anakin is present or not.
• A Pirate 400 Years Too Late: Sailor John and his crew are "pirates" in the 21st century, and as such, no one believes they exist because the pirate heyday has long since passed, at least until they start publicly attacking.
• A Threesome Is Hot: Emily jokingly admits suggests this after telling Thomas about how she and Gina spent a private spa fondling and sucking each other's breasts. When Thomas admits jealousy to Gina having such an experience with his girlfriend, Emily teases him by saying that he wanted to have joined them and make it a threesome. Sure enough, the thought of having sex with the two ladies makes him have an erection that lasts for quite awhile.
• Absurdlyhigh Stakes Game: Shadow Games plus Duel Monsters means the world is frequently at stake. also, Season 3 has the characters dying if they lose a duel at certain points, which becomes every single duel towards the end of the arc.
• Abusive Parent: Gozaburo Gresley, Marik and Ishizu's father, and Frieda and Phillip's father (although not as much in the latter's case.)
• Accents Aren't Hereditary: Frieda has a notable German accent, but her brother Phillip does not.
• Accidental Murder: The side effects of Summoning the Pyramid of Light is to have both duelists life energy drained to feed Anubis whenever they lose LP. Spencer isn't aware of this (basically dismissing in it) but Thomas is. In fact, Spencer comes within 200 LP of killing Thomas without realizing it.
• Accidental Pervert: In Ride 10 of Legend of the Six Dragons, during an infiltration of the NYPD's main headquarters, David accidentally slips on a small puddle on the floor while he, Lisa, Carlie, and Zack are avoiding security beams, causing him to crash into Lisa and fall onto the floor, thus triggering the alarm. While getting up, he thinks he placed his hands on the floor, but after hearing an angry yell from Lisa, he realizes he was groping her breasts. Lisa is not amused...at all.
• Achilles' Heel: Some cards have deliberate weaknesses to keep things interesting and keep them from becoming too powerful.
  • Five-Headed Dragon is impervious to al elemental attacks (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Dark) and hits hard, but a strong enough Light attack will finish it.
  • Discord's Deck relies on the Toon World Spell Card, which is necessary for his Toons to do what they have to do, but the fact they die when Toon World is destroyed makes it seem like like a big bullseye on your side of the field. The same can be said for the Spell Card, Cosmic Hand, which returns the stolen Monster if Toon World/Toon Kingdom is removed from the field. However, in some cases like Toon Dark Magician, they will stick around despite their star card being nuked into oblivion.
  • P.T. Boomer's Captain Lock prevents monsters from being set or Summoned from the hand. So if "Polymerization" or Special Summon from the Deck is used against him, it's useless as James found out.
  • The Earthbound Immortals are all very strong, unable to be attacked, and can attack the opponent directly. But they can destroy themselves if there's no Field Spell Card on the field. Also, there can only be one Earthbound Immortal on the field.
• Acid Reflux Nightmare: Discord's first explanation for his prophetic dream in Pyramid of Light is too many white wine spritzers before bed.
• Action Bomb: Several cards have powerful effects that can destroy monsters on the opposing side of the field, but require the cared itself to be Tributed or destroyed as well.
• Adaptation Amalgamation: The story takes many elements from the first six Yu-Gi-Oh! series (Duel Monsters, "GX," "5D's," ZEXEL," "ARC-V," and "VRAINS.") referring to the many mangas and animes, and blending them together, ranging from characters to plot points.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Hong-Mei from Seasons 22-23 didn't show much character, but is quite loony, rude, and vengeful in this series - along with having a huge crush on Thomas. When she cameos in one of the final chapters of Season 6 and returns in Journey to Redemption, she significantly mellows out.
• Adaptational Personality Change: Overlaps with Adaptational Nice Guy; while Shinji from ARC-V has an intense hatred of the Tops and is a bit of a Hypocrite and Sore Loser, here he is a much nicer and graciously accepts a Turbo Duel defeat at the hands of Mayura Labatt. That said, he does show a more aggressive and serious side when dealing with threats towards his friends however.
• Adaptational Sexuality:
  • In this series, Nia and Rebecca are portrayed in a lesbian relationship/
  • Starting from The Dark side of Dimensions, Gina is revealed to be bisexual.
• Adaptational Villainy:
  • Sailor John, while not exactly pleasant in Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure,^note Already being the darkest villain in ''Thomas and Friends is much more sinister as such here: he secretly ruined the life of Commander (formerly Professor) Laura to get her to turn on her peers and join his pirate crew, manipulating Skiff much more than he did in canon, and organizing kidnappings and multiple assassination attempts on Thomas and his friends.
  • Diesel 10, being based more on his character from Thomas and the Magic Railroad than Day of the Diesels (and some added help from Marik Ishtar), he attempts to manipulate Rosie into befriending the Smelters Class and helping them take over Sodor High School, (so he could be principal), and even summons a gang he rules when things don't go in his favor. In addition, Diesel 10 also wants to kill Thomas for revenge, and even kidnaps Annie and Clarabel to ensure Thomas obeys his demands for a duel. He later sells his soul to Driote all out of his aforementioned hatred of Thomas.
  • Gozaburo (Kaiba) Gresley was already shown to be cruel, abusive, and all-around nasty in both Yu-Gi-Oh! and its Duel Monsters adaptation, ends up even worse here: after finding himself in the Duel Monsters Spirit World after jumping out of the window of the highest floor of Boxford Corp (which should've killed him), he meets the Court of Darkness and willingly agrees to help them revive Diablon. He becomes more and more unhinged as the arc goes on...
  • Frankie may have been...somewhat sympathetic in Journey Beyond Sodor, but here, thanks to being taken over and influenced by he previous incarnation at one point, she is one of the evilest and most Ax-Crazy villains Thomas ever goers against.
