"I used to be a duelist like you. But then I took a card game to the motorcycle."
-Yami Yugi

Tropes

  • Actor Allusion: "Evil Tristan" at first says that Yugi will have to duel the members of Team Four Star, before changing this to Team Four Kids. The executives who were possessing Tristan's body were voiced by at-the-time Team Four Star cast members.
  • Am I Right?: Yami pulls the Dude, Not Funny! variety.
    Yami: Huh. Five men in one body, eh? Sounds like a typical day for Mai Valentine. Am I right?
    Joey: Yug, she's in a coma!
    Yami: Am I right?
    Joey: It's just very inappropriate, is all...
    Yami: Yes, but am I right?
    Joey: YUGI!
    Yami: JOEY! ...am. I. Right?
  • Answer Cut: Yami rudely wonders where Mai is and deduces that she's getting "action" somewhere. It cuts to a silent scene of her still in a coma.
  • Call-Back: Yuugi is grossed out about being possessed by the "freaky fish guy".
    Gansley: I am NOT a freaky fish guy!
  • The Cameo: Naruto appears in The Stinger where he asks Nesbitt to get naked.
  • Cerebus Retcon: You remember how Joey was trying to teach Serenity how to drive? It resulted in Noah being run over and put into a coma.
  • Defiled Forever: The reason that none of the 4kids executives want to take over Tea's body. "Nobody wants Crump's sloppy seconds... not even Crump".
  • Didn't Think This Through: As Yami points out, if the Big Five do succeed in taking over the heroes’ bodies, no one will take them seriously because they’ll be in the bodies of high school children.
  • He-Man Woman Hater: Joey asks why Yami is like this. He claims that it's because women hate him. Especially that Marik chick.
  • I Can't Believe I'm Saying This: "This is the only time I'm ever going to say this to anybody... but I would never let you have my body."
  • I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: While Yugi and friends are trying to brainstorm things that they could offer Kaiba to team up with them, Tea thrusts her chest at him for leverage. It does not work.
    Kaiba: Those... are... very nice, but I'm not interested.
  • Ironic Hell: Kaiba wants to punish the guy who invented the stairs by pushing him down the stairs. Because then his legs will be broken, and he won't be able to climb stairs.
  • Oh, Crap!: Kaiba has this reaction when he realizes that Noah's childhood film strip also included him being run over by the Wheeler siblings.
    Kaiba: Did I just watch a Snuff Film?!
  • Only One Finds It Fun: Unlike his compatriots who are annoyed over their new homes in the darkest websites of the internet, Crump is shown in absolute heaven as the 4Chan site has a penguin page for him to enjoy.
  • Pig Latin: Joey tries to use this to keep Yami from blabbing about their trap card to the 4kids executives. It just makes it worse.
    Yami: Joey, you're Japanese. You're supposed to be speaking English.
  • Ship Tease: Joey uses "shipping fodder" as a reason why Kaiba should stay with the group.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Special Edition Title: The opening features a new title sequence based on Dragonball Z Abridged's opening complete with Marik singing his version of "Cha-La Head Cha-La".
  • Spotting the Thread: Yugi is certain that the Tristan in front of them is the "Evil Version" since he isn't obsessing over Joey's sister. That is until Crump takes over.
    Evil Tristan/Crump: I like redheads almost as much as I like penguins. (licks his lips like a pervert)
    Joey: Are we...sure that's not the regular Tristan?
  • Take That!:
    • Yami is overly demanding about making people tell him things... except for the ending of Twilight, he doesn't read crap.
    • Also, this bit of dialogue:
    Evil Tristan/Team 4Kids: How does it feel to know you will be defeated by Yugioh's most worthless protagonist?
    Yami: Well joke on you, because Jaden Yuki isn't even in this duel!
  • Talking to Themself: Kaiba pretends to be arguing with Mokuba when he's actually Holding Both Sides of the Conversation just so he'll have someone to tell to shut up.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Joey is in no way amused with Yami's banter during the duel, especially since many of them are crack shots at Mai.
  • Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer: Tea, in a somewhat cruel way.
    Tea: Why don't any of you want my body?!
    Yugi: I want your body!
    Tea: WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT MY BODY?!
  • You Have Failed Me: Noah punishes the failures of the 4kids executives by banishing them to the darkest corners of the internet: Mega Upload, The Dangerous Box, Chatroulette, Fan Fiction.net, and 4Chan.
