* DeconstructedTrope: Of CharacterDrivenStrategy. Shobu largely relies on fire based monsters for the early arc, which allows him to get by for the most part. Once he makes it to the big leagues, however, his strict adherence to this strategy causes him to go on a major losing streak once his deck becomes public knowledge and people start actively making decks to counter his strategy. Part of his CharacterDevelopment is learning to branch out and not stubbornly stick to one strategy or theme.

Added DiffLines:

* PoorPredictableRock: Shobu ends up on the receiving end of this during an arc where he ends facing off against a bunch of professional players who actively mix up their decks due to them all studying each others decks frequently to make counters for them. Once the cards in his deck became well known, he ends up going on a massive losing streak due to everyone having a counter to his deck. It's ultimately what convinces him to start shaking up his deck and adding new cards on the regular.

* LuckyTranslation:
** The English dub had Benny Haha claim that Mimi was his little sister, completely unaware that they would actually show his sister (possibly unrelated in the original) in a (fake) flashback. As chance would have it, Benny's sister looked exactly like a young Mimi.
** The shades-wearing pajama-clad baby is named Jouji in Japan. This was easy to translate to George for the dub, and plenty of Boy George references quickly followed.

* MusicalSpoiler: The dub is the source of the page quote. Shobu's first clue that Kokujo isn't who he seems and is in fact leading him into a psychological trap is a change in the backing score.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** You know how the imaginary shields shatter? What do you think happens when they become real?
** Takeshi uses slow, powerful creatures against Shobu, who uses a speed deck. Shobu baits him into summoning his ace monster, and then breaks all of his shields at once.
** When Shobu orders his final attack on Kokujo with the bristling Valdios - why of course it opens fire on him in reality.
