History Headscratchers / YuGiOh5Ds

* I think The biggest mystery in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! has nothing to do with timelines or dimensions--it's how the heck did two ten-year-olds (Rua and Ruka) get an unconscious grown man (Yusei) up to their top floor apartment? And then they had to get his heavy motorcycle up there, too... ''And''' they had to do both those things before the big police officer (Ushio) who was actively pursuing said unconscious man could catch up to them.

* Remember that they broke Greiger/Bommer out of jail around the same time that Carly died and resurrected. It's likely that they'd already been planning to make him their fifth member since the end of the Fortune Cup, and that they were reasonably certain the throw-him-into-Momentum plan would guarantee he became a Dark Signer. Plus, fairly soon after the the Fortune Cup, Misty read Carly's future through her face — she probably worked out that Carly would become the Hummingbird Dark Signer sooner or later without need for direct intervention.

** It seems that there's a little bit of Timey-Wimey nonsense going on at the moment, as it seems that 5Ds takes place around 2020. ''However'', given what we already know of the timeline (And the fact that DM, GX, and 5Ds are all confirmed to be one timeline through both [[NoExportForYou Japanese books on it]] and the [[Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime the movie]], it would mean that Yuusei was roughly born during Season 4 of GX (Assuming he's around 16-18, given that he's apparently allowed to ride a D-Wheel and all) - and that Zero Reverse happened soon after the end of GX. So it's still up in the air. But no, no WordOfGod as to how far in the future it is.

** That whole series of duels was an egregious case of TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot. Look how many episodes past where Jack must have simply been driving the whole time everyone else was reaching their opponents and dueling. Mikage and Aki spent all those episode ''and 2 more'' (Jack's whole duel with Carly just driving). Sure, the map Mikage showed of the control towers shows them spread out but with similar distances between all of them -- everyone's first duels should have logically started at roughly similar times. The show could have still shown them to the viewers individually by simply devoting different episodes to showing what was happening at the same time in different locations but instead chose to make everyone TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot so no one was dueling at the same time.

** It's possible it's not a function of the D-Wheels themselves, but of the "Speed World" field spell. Cards in this franchise have frequently been connected to magic to some extent, and to a point D-Wheels are essentially a form of {{Magitek}}. They're not just cool motorcycles, but conduits for the Dueling energy called Moment (or [[DubNameChange Ener-D]]) which it both generates and employs to operate. When Sector Security Officers like Ushio use "Speed World"'s Imposed Activation, maybe what they're actually doing (probably without fully realizing it) is casting a spell that acts upon the Moment that D-Wheels use and forces them and their player(s) into a Turbo Duel—sort of like a Shadow Game. Since all D-Wheels use Moment this way, it's impossible for anyone to build a D-Wheel that doesn't respond this way—a D-Wheel without Momentum ''would'' just be a cool-looking motorcycle and wouldn't work well for Dueling.
