Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: When Yugi and Joey are the verge of victory, the rest of the Big Five blame Johnson for ever allowing Joey to part of the duel, as he said Joey would hold Yugi back, instead Joey ends up being the reason why the two are winning.
So Last Season: The Five-Headed Dragon, which nearly defeated Yugi and Kaiba and temporarily wiped out Joey, is defeated much more easier this time around than before.
Spared by the Adaptation: Subverted. In the Japanese version, Noah deletes the Big 5, killing them. In the 4Kids dub, he imprisons them in virtual cells. The virtual world is still destroyed later on, so they would still die anyway.
You Have Failed Me: Noah says this almost word-for-word to the Big 5 after their defeat.
