* ThemeNaming: The [[HumongousMecha four mecha cards]] names come from a portmanteau of a famous sword and their respective elements: Thunder Mech Excalibolt (Excalibur), Ice Mech Arondrift (Arondite), Lava Mech Galatinder (Galatine) and Earth Mech Damocliff (the sword of Damocles).

Yu-Gi-Oh! SP and Yu-Gi-Oh! SPZ are two fanfiction stories written by author Aarikku on the well-known card game forum Pojo, based on the ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game}}'' moreso than the Anime or Manga, as it features none of the original characters, and it's actually located in what is basically a version of our world... with more card games.

Yu-Gi-Oh! SPZ is a sequel series set in the same Universe, about five years after the events of SP. It tells the story of Lance Lawrence, a bored RidiculouslyAverageGuy who works at a card shop and just wants to get some excitement into his life. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor He gets his wish]] when the [[ClassyCatBurglar Black Widow]], a famous card thief, steals a valuable card from the shop. She challenges Lance to duel her at the end of the [[DebutQueue team-based]] [[TournamentArc World-Wide Grand Tournament]].

** Jack's ''Tenor Narwhal Blaora'' comes from the icelandic word for balloon.
** Linlan's ''Armored Panda Zhuxiong'' comes from the chinese word ''Zhu Xiong'', which means bamboo bear, or [[ADogNamedDog panda]].
** Kevin's ''Warlock Octopus Samudra'' is named after the telugu word for sea. The ''Giant Tentacle'' monsters are named after the eight Hinduist tantric chakras (Sahasrara, Ajna, Vishudda, Anahata, Manipura, Swadisthana, Muladhara and Bindu).
** Several of Cassandra's and Amber's cards include GratuitousSpanish.
* HeroicResolve: Turned into a FRIGGIN ENERGY SOURCE. During the five year gap between SP and SPZ, scientists discovered that human willpower, or Resolve, could actually be used to generate electricity (usually when dueling). It's actually what powers a great deal of the {{Steampunk}} in the series (although it's made very clear that Resolve engines are a rare luxury at best).

** Several of Cassandra's phoenixes include GratuitousSpanish. Her ace card is ''Evanescent Phoenix Escarlata''.

SP is a short story of 10 chapters, while SPZ is updated weekly and is currently on its third arc. The author generally assumes that the reader is at least familiar with the rules and cards of the ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game}}'' and only provides deep explanation on the effects of fan-made cards, so a prospect reader should get informed about the basic rules and real-life cards. If the reader can get past this, however, they'll be rewarded with a story full of [[SelfDeprecation self-depreciative humor]] and interesting characters.
