The concept of IdenticalGrandson has been used in plot relevant ways throughout the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' franchise to give the characters a connection in different places and times. Even more than the main canon, ''VideoGame/YuGiOhForbiddenMemories'' has all of the Japanese main characters have identical ancestors in ancient Egypt. In what is often viewed as a sequel to that game, ''VideoGame/YuGiOhTheDuelistsOfTheRoses'' features the same characters' identical ancestors during England's ''UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses''. The relationships between these characters and the plots that they get involved in often dip into GenerationXerox territory as well, giving the mostly Japanese cast an extremely unlikely set of ancestors in both ancient Egypt and Middles Ages England that consistently knew each other and had similar experiences as well.

Edit: A different version that might be better as an example.

''Franchise/YuGiOh'' involves the Japanese main characters having ancestors in ancient Egypt and some of the spin-offs take it further. ''VideoGame/YuGiOhForbiddenMemories'' gives ''all'' of the main characters Egyptian ancestors, and ''VideoGame/YuGiOhTheDuelistsOfTheRoses'' features the same characters' ancestors during England's UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses. Making it even more unlikely is how the ancient characters are part of an IdenticalGrandson situation, and many of the interactions and plots between ancestors being an example of GenerationXerox.
