** While duels are simply briefly summarized in the card tournament, they are no longer the main major focus of writing proper duels unlike the original (They are prominent back in YYGDM-01's Season Trilogy, and they still happen in specific moments post-Dawn of Chaos). And it's the best, since writing duels back in YYGDM-01 is tough for the author, and that he needed [=LazerWulf=], Ninetalesuk, and Chaosblazer's help for these duels.

* AscendedExtra: The Anime/YuGiOhGX cast unlike in the original that are secondary characters, Shin-YYGDM has them become the main characters.

* AlternateContinuity: Besides being a reboot, it also serves as one to the mainstream YYGDM; even reviewers like Chaosblazer, JNaegi, and Generic Reviewer refer the universe as an AU.

In the author's words from his [[https://twitter.com/KaniustheV/status/1277054970324496385 twitter status]]: "Just a bit of history: In November 2003, I started a mega crossover series called [=YuYuGiDigiMoon=]. The titular series name comprises acronyms based on part of each titular series featuring the anime casts each series covers. Yu represents Yu Yu Hakusho, the second Yu simultaneously represents both YYH and Yu-Gi-Oh, the Gi naturally just represents Yu-Gi-Oh!, Digi is part of Digimon, and Moon is obviously Sailor Moon. A friend named [=LazerWulf=] came up with the [=YuYuGiDigiMoon=] title and I just ran with it. Since 2003, [=YuYuGiDigiMoon=] has been a long-running fanfic franchise that has come and gone with me as time went on. Since then, I've completed a Seasonal Trilogy, one 'Movie' fic, an OVA done in a first-person POV, several side stories, a collection of Gaiden shorts and mega crossover events based on interdimensional travel - hence called the Triad crossovers. However, as time went on, the series became too complex and overly long for any normal reader to follow. Since then, I posted the final Gaiden chapter that detailed my recent burnout and thus I've placed the original [=YuYuGiDigiMoon=] on an indefinite hiatus. This comes at the cost of holding off the final story, which would've ended the series. Then, another friend, Allfather-Ford, presented a brand new concept for [=YuYuGiDigiMoon. Instead of a continuation, we could do a reboot with fresh ideas and make full use of canon concepts instead of fully relying on AU ideas. Allfather-Ford presented the title for this reboot: Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon. Shin in Japanese means "new". Like Shin Evangelion (Rebuild of Evangelion, Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition) and Shin Godzilla, Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon should hopefully do a similar job. It's a fresh start and a clean slate. The four-chaptered OVA series serves to be accessible to new readers, a general audience, and maybe attract old readers. You are absolutely not required to read the original [=YuYuGiDigiMoon=] stories before or after this one. If you feel fine with just reading [=Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon=], that's fine. It's your prerogative. These four chapters will be told in lengthy formats. So, what you're reading are essentially movie/OVA-style stories. And since these are longer-lengthed, I suggest taking breaks. Lastly, there will be summarized sections spread across these stories. To summarize: This is an attempt to present a reboot of a classic fanfic I've worked on for a long time and make it accessible to new readers & a general audience. I hope whoever reads it can give it a shot."

Once this legacy fanfiction OVA concludes, the YYGDM franchise as a whole returns back to an indefinite hiatus until the time comes for the franchise to be {{Unreboot}} for YYGDM-01’s series finale (Wrath of the Defiants).

* Arc I: Wrath of Ghidorah

** Shaochung can fused her mini-Deva Sovereign into [=HuangDevamon=], a form that has yet to appear in the original mainstream version.

** While the Z-Hybrid forms of the canon Legendary Warriors are retained, the other Legendary Warriors from the original that are [=OCs=] (alongside Henry's older sister being one, while the canon anime she's just a normal civilian) are removed.

** While the Z-Hybrid forms of the canon Legendary Wariors are retained, the other Legendary Warriors from the original that are [=OCs=] (alongside Henry's older sister being one, while the canon anime she's just a normal civilian) are removed.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The Paradius duo are shown to be like Sith lords with TeethClenchedTeamwork yet don’t hesitate to stab each other in the back when that time comes. They don’t even say ‘my love’ unlike the YYGDM-01 versions. Also, the Prophet (Shin-YYGDM)’s voice and personality is finally allowed to express his evil tone unlike the Prophet (YYGDM-01)’s mysterious and enigmatic tone.

** The Valkyrie forms for the Sailor Senshi from the original have been removed.
** While the Z-Hybrid forms of the canon Legendary Wariors are retained, the other Legendary Warriors from the original that are [=OCs=] (alongside Henry's older sister) are removed.

* AdaptedOut: Many of the Digimon, specific, and unimportant [=OCs=] have been removed such as Inumon, Granasmon and Valmarmon, Mizuno & Brimstone, Tsukimaru (since Bram replaces him as Saya (Shin-YYGDM)’s love interest), the Amazon Digimon. The Tamers (Shin-YYGDM) do not even wield the powers of the Beast Spirits unlike the YYGDM-01 version. Kotori (Shin-YYGDM) is not a Valkyrie unlike the original.

** Another meta as a whole is that while the original’s main beta/collaborator is [=LazerWulf=] that although being a major important figure (of coming up with first concepts that inspires to this day, and giving critiques to help Kanius as a content creator) that help the author yet also has creative disagreements and other factors (such as Lazer at times being difficult and former fixation on the original YYGDM) relating to the deconstructions of the original’s burnout, Allfather-Ford being the main beta/collaborator of Shin-YYGDM helps to rekindle the passion and him (besides being open-minded to expand horizons outside the comfort zone) being an AscendedFanboy helps.

* UltimateUniverse: This is a rebooted fanfic universe that allows the prominent canon elements to be implemented instead of the original’s overreliance of AU elements. If YYGDM-01 is compared to the mainstream Marvel comics, then Shin-YYGDM is compared to Ultimate Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
