* JailbaitTaboo: Subverted. Mai is nervous upon learning that Joey's in high school, because while there's little chance of her being charged with a crime[[labelnote:Explanation]]Romeo and Juliet Laws are a subset of laws in most countries which make it so that sex between a minor and an adult isn't classified as statutory rape when the age gap is small enough. In California there are no such laws, but due to being in international waters Mai couldn't be charged with anything.[[/labelnote]] she doesn't want to form a relationship with a minor.

* LoopholeAbuse: Bakura's vampirism takes the form of a curse that mandated that those cursed can't eat meat or vegetables. (WordOfGod says that the nature of the curse changes depending on law practiced by fairies.) As such, what Bakura ''can'' eat is mushrooms, food that's been processed so much that it's not recognizable as being derived from the original ingredients, or food that's been liquefied and thus is considered a beverage.
* TheLostLenore: Pegasus is genuinely heartbroken by the loss of his wife, Cecelia, and his entire motivation is getting her back.

* MoodWhiplash: Bakura admitting that he's a vampire is pretty funny when Tristan concludes, despite all the available evidence, that he's a werewolf.
