* The only reason people still remember the two Twin Long Rods monsters are their creepy designs. [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Twin_Long_Rods_2 Twin Long Rods #2]] is a serpent-like... ''thing'' with bulging eyes from the side, exaggerated lips, an open mouth to fully display its teeth, and two tentacle-like tails that it can apparently use as weapons. However, #2 pails in comparison to the [[NoExportForYou OCG-exclusive]] [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Twin_Long_Rods_1 Twin Long Rods #1]], one of the most hideous-looking monsters ever printed. It reaches GagLips territory, has a SlasherSmile expression (#2's expression is more angry than sadistic), and the lower half of its body [[UnfortunateCharacterDesign closely resembles a giant butt]]. No wonder it has never been internationally released!

* Most Cards in the TCG with artworks that may seem too frightening or have blood get censored however there are a few cards in the TCG Such as [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Snake_Fang Snake Fang]] which has a lovely close up of a snake's mouth open and it's teeth in a dark background with blood on the teeth and it didn't get censored in the TCG version probably via oversight

* There is the implication in the story behind the cards that [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Invader_of_Darkness Invader of Darkness]] is some sort of EvilOverlord who is something like Darth Vader. And that, going by the number of cards searching for him, he probably did something unspeakably horrific. And there's how he probably did in Gagagigo, leaving the poor guy for Kozaki to repair, who probably has a EvilPlan of his own going... yeah, Invader is the BigBad.

* The story depicted in the Eldlich series. A group of mages attempted to perform a ritual on a mysterious stone to summon forth great wealth... only for the wealth to be revealed to be sentient. The gold and jewels transform into Eldlich the Golden Lord, an undead evil, who then coats parts of the mages' bodies in gold, allowing him to take control of them while their exposed flesh slowly rots away. He then covered the entire land with gold to tempt others to come to take the treasure... then convert them into his golden undead servants who are forced to kill more treasure seekers. The card art depicts living people screaming as their flesh becomes encased in liquid gold and then later their half-rotting corpses forced to serve the vain Golden Lord.
