* BaitAndSwitch: When Flash and Spike face the Paradox Brothers AI, Flash eventually suspects that they are planning to summon Gate Guardian, the famous Boss Monster of the real Paradox Brothers. However, once they get all the necessary components, they instead summon the upgraded version, Gate Guardian Combined.
* CantCatchUp: Spike feels frustrated that ever since they first met, Flash has always been better than him at Dueling, and every time it seems he is catching up to Flash, Flash just shoots ahead of him again and was left on the sidelines as Flash saved the world. He hopes that this tournament will finally give him the chance to prove himself and stand beside Flash as his equal.



* MythologyGag: The Deck Master rule used for the tournament is the same as it was in the "Virtual World" arc from the anime.

Added DiffLines:

* ReimaginingTheArtifact: Twilight does this in-universe with Labyrinth Duels. The only Labyrinth Duel seen in the series was when Yugi and Joey faced the Paradox Brothers, before Tag Duels became more common place and back when the rules of Dueling were in general still in EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Twilight updated the rules so that while they are still the same overall, with monsters moving through a maze based on their stars while partners share life points, it also includes updates for each Summoning style, which monsters can and can't enter the maze, and monsters that share the same space combine stats.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Flurry Heart cheers for her Uncle Flash when watching his duel against Sunset, she excitedly shouts for him to destroy her "lame Synchro Monster". This hurts Shining Armor like a knife through the heart, since he and the rest of Flurry's immediate family primarily use Synchro Monsters.

* GoodCounterpart: Upon Flash re-forging his bond with his monsters, he meets the Alpha Deity or Creation, Harmonica, who grants him a portion of her powers, along with Flash Heart Dragon and Vail Pixie. She dubs the trio her Alpha Zealots.
* HateSink: The Omega Zealots have little to no redeeming qualities to speak of. They use Soulinking, a practice meant to bring humans and Duel Spirits closer together, to [[DemonicPossession steal human bodies for themselves]], with the purpose of using their new physical forms to wreak havoc on our world and eventually destroy it. In addition, they constantly belittle their opponents, mocking them for trying to fight back against them, and even [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown continually attacking them even after they suffer a major loss]]. In spite of this, whenever the good guys do manage to pull a win, they have the gall to act [[PlayingTheVictimCard as though they're the victims]] [[MoralMyopia and that the treatment they receive is completely unjustified]]. The sole exception to this is [[TokenGoodTeammate Queen Amphitrite]].

Per TRS Good People Have Good Sex is now a disambig page.


* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:The way that Soulinking and Dominating is described almost sounds similar to that of a sexual activity. A Soulink is described as a "great miracle", where a Duelist and a monster they share a close bond with end up SharingABody. It is meant to [[GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex demonstrate the strong bond they share with each other]], due to it being consensual from both sides, and how much they trust each other, as an act of bringing them even closer together. A Dominate on the other hand is when a monster ''forces'' a Soulink on a duelist without their agreement, and [[DemonicPossession takes full control of the body for themselves]]. When this is described to everyone, they find the term "Dominate" to be "violating" and feel sick just hearing it. It is also clear that anyone who has been Dominated is [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil deeply tortured and traumatized by the experience]], and their real partners are all worried over their safety.]]

** Flash's team have trouble determining a name for their team, so Spike suggests being called "The Flashers" since Flash was the founder of the team. This name is turned down due to its UnfortunateImplications, and Shining Armor gives them the temporary name "Team Still Unnamed", much to the three's embarrassment. Flash eventually gives them their official name, "Team V-Fighters". Several people guess what the V stands for, and he needs to explain it stands for "Victory", which Twilight finds to be generic. [[invoked]]

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Spike suggests asking Thorax to join his and Flash's team as their third member. but Rarity points out that a king who is busy trying to manage a country and pull it out of recession won't be able to drop everything just for a duel tournament.
