| 1 | * CrossDressingVoices: Both Yugis are voiced by Creator/MegumiOgata, so Yugi sounds ''very'' young, and Dark Yugi has kind of a husky contralto. |
| 2 | * FriendshipOnTheSet: Believe it or not, head writer Creator/ToshikiInoue and secondary writer Creator/YasukoKobayashi (both known for their work on tokusatsu productions) first met while working together on this anime. Contrary to the Western fanbase’s rumours of them having a HostilityOnTheSet in said productions, they do have a good relationship both professionally and personally, at least good enough that Kobayashi has been to dinner parties at Inoue’s house. |
| 3 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The only release this anime got was on VHS tapes in Japan, all of which are out of print. The 30-minute movie is just as scarce. |
| 4 | * NoExportForYou: The Toei anime was never released outside of Japan, even after the franchise became very popular overseas. |
| 5 | * OrphanedReference: Duel Monsters cards have a logo that reads "MW". It's possible that sometime in development of this anime, the game was going to be referred to as "Magic & Wizards" like how they were [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness during Kaiba's introductory arc]]. However, in the show itself, the game is referred to as "Duel Monsters" from the start. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Imagine what could have happened had this show continued past the first seven manga volumes. The episodes we did get are so eclectic that who knows how a hypothetical Toei version of Duelist Kingdom or Battle City could have gone. |
