History Funny / DuelingTriggerFinger

Chapter 21:
* You know that Rare Hunter that's been tailing Nagito all this time and suffering a case of AmusingInjuries? His name is [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Steve]].

** Mahiru dragging Noah by his ear back to the Virtual World like the spoiled, misbehaving child he actually is, also doubles as an AwesomeMoment for Mahiru for not putting up with Noah's crap.

* Byakuya and [[HorrifyingTheHorror Marik's]] horrified [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame reactions]] when Nagito compliments them are a sight to see.

-->''Kaiba'': [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure You thought you'd be dueling me, Ishizu, but it was Naegi all along!]]

*** And that's not all of it: Upon getting up, Makoto discards his two cards without even thinking or looking at the cards. Then as he is about to activate Swords of Revealing Light, he finds the card absent from his hand then realizes that ''he ended up discarding it by accident''! Cue several [[BigWhat Big WHATs]] from everyone watching his duel.

** Kaiba and Chiaki have some great chemistry on screen together throughout their duels, leading to several gems:

-->''Kaiba (thinking):'' She destroyed...my favorite monster...my most PRIZED POSSESSION with a WEAK! MEASLY! BUG!''

** The whole chapter, just...all of it. It's Kaiba Vs Monokuma and the banter has to be seen to be believed: The chapter [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall multiple times]], is ReferenceOverdosed to the point of ridiculousness, and has such sass, wit, and charm to it that it's probably the crowning achievement for the whole story thus far.

** Tristan continues his EpicFail streak by dueling like an amateur against [[spoiler:Miho]], the duel ends with him losing in just three turns...

-->''Narration'': Hearing something so sickeningly sweet, part of Kaiba regretted giving Makoto that head pat.

** Mahiru dragging Noah's ear back to the Virtual World like the spoiled, misbehaving child he actually is, also doubles as an AwesomeMoment for Mahiru for not putting up with Noah's crap.

* Chapter 20:
** Ibuki's {{Metaphorgotten}} moment:
--> '''Ibuki:''' It's like the [[Franchise/StarTrek Kobayashi Maru]]! No matter what he does it's a no-win scenario! Joey! You should've just blown it up when you had the chance, now you're against an [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard adaptive A.I]] that'll counter your every move until you and your crew are completely dead and floating adrift in space like [[SpaceIsCold frozen dessert treats]]!
* Nagito meets Byakuya and ''immediately'' starts wondering why he thought Byakuya would be fatter, [[MythologyGag referencing his classmate, the Ultimate Imposter]]. Byakuya's complete affront at this has to be seen to be believed:

* Byakuya and [[HorrifyingTheHorror Marik's]] horrified [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame reactions]] when Nagito compliments them are a sight to see.
-->'''Byakuya:''' ''(thinking)'' Why does his approval fill me with such disgust?
-->'''Marik:''' What? No! I'm nothing like you!

-->''Narration'': Hearing something so sickeningly sweet, part of Kaiba regretted giving Makoto that head pat.

* Upon being sent to the virtual world, a good number of the characters start sassing back at Kaiba and/or his Blue-Eyes White Dragon. So much that Kaiba snaps and tells everyone that the next one to sass him or his Blue-Eyes is getting stranded.

* * At the beginning of the chapter, Marik invites Celeste to watch him duel Yugi while possessing Strings. [[ForegoneConclusion As we all know how that goes]], Celeste humorously mocks him for it, using his ExactWords [[IronicEcho against him]]. Marik's only retort? [[BigShutUp "Silence, Witch!"]]

** In his duel with Hajime, [[spoiler:Espa]] is wary about his facedown monster, and briefly wishes he had [[spoiler:Jinzo #2]], which could negate its possible effect. He ultimately has no choice but to attack, revealing Cyber Jar. [[spoiler:Espa]] is furiously frustrated when the ''first card'' he draws thanks to its effect happens to be the very monster he was wishing for.

** Kaiba and Chiaki have some great chemistry on screen together, leading to this gem:

** Kaiba's dramatic reactions whenever his Blue-Eyes is destroyed. He's described as watching in "emotional agony" once, and about to blow a gasket another time.

** Then there's him having to recite to himself ''it's just how the game is played!'' over and over whenever Chiaki makes a move that puts him in a bad position during their duel.

** The whole chapter, just...all of it. It's Kaiba Vs Monokuma. The banter has to be seen to be believed. The chapter [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall multiple times]] is ReferenceOverdosed to the point of ridiculousness, and has such sass, wit, and charm to it that it's probably a crowning achievement for the whole story thus far.

* Ibuki makes a comment about invisible guns that's presumably a dig at 4kids' censorship when she asks what's the worst the Rare Hunters could do to Akane and Nekomaru beating the snot out of them.
* While Mikan is already a nervous wreck, there's something adorably hilarious about her already fragile composure getting [[UpToEleven even worse]] around Kaiba, to the point that Chiaki asks if Mikan has a crush on him.

* The [[LemonyNarrator narration]] in the duels often provides these, in general. Stand-outs include:
** "Joey's monster had 500 attack points. Peko's had 1100. The results were obvious."
** "Celeste's monster attacked with a screeching charge, but Joey smirked as his face-down monster was revealed to be Fiber Jar. The look of surprise on Celeste's face was worthy of posting on social media."
** "Kaiba's mouth made all sorts of weird movements, like it was trying to crack a smile, but his brooding personality rejected the very ''idea''."

* In chapter 14, Joey declares that he doesn't need his Red-Eyes Black Dragon to be a true duelist. [[TheGadfly Ibuki]] asks if a true duelist walks around with their fly open. Joey promptly, and embarrassingly zips up his pants.
* At the beginning of chapter 16, Marik invites Celeste to watch him duel Yugi while possessing Strings. [[ForegoneConclusion As we all know how that goes]], Celeste humorously mocks him for it, using his ExactWords [[IronicEcho against him]]. Marik's only retort? [[BigShutUp "Silence, Witch!"]]
* Ibuki's {{Metaphorgotten}} moment in chapter 20:

* In chapter 33, Byakuya tells Joey and Mai about his [[DrowningMySorrows absence]] from Nagito's duel with Odion. When confronted by the fact that he's a minor, his response? "[[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney I am Byakuya Togami]]."

* Gundham summons the [[DeathbringerTheAdorable Four Dark Devas of Destruction]], which is evidence that he's getting serious during a duel, or that he notes his foe as a WorthyOpponent. However, since he just called for four fuzzy, adorable hamsters, the reactions of the audience get quite...amusing. Most notably is Komaru having a case of CutenessProximity and Kaiba about ready to break into an epileptic fit because Gundham brought unauthorized cargo onto his precious, clean blimp. Oh, and Gundham's insistence that they're demons and not, you know, hamsters. Poor Kaiba.

'''Chiaki:''' Good job, Gear Golem!
'''Kaiba:''' It can't hear you.
'''Chiaki:''' ''(completely serious)'' You don't know that.

** Later in that same chapter [[spoiler:though it amounts to nothing in the long run]], Sonia making ''Yami Marik'' [[OhCrap fraught with fear]] by [[DidntSeeThatComing her ability to read Ancient Egyptian]], is truly a sight to behold. Not even the canonical tirade he goes on, begging regular Marik not to get rid of him measures up.

* While Mikan is already a nervous wreck, there's something adorably hilarious about her already fragile composure getting [[UpToEleven even worse]] around Kaiba, to the point that Chiaki asks if Mikan has a crush on him.
