"This ain't a sceeeeeeene, it's a god! Damn! Card! Game!"
-Yami Yugi
Tropes
- Adaptational Villainy: Yami, rather than being concerned for Bakura's health, would rather just outright attack him, even though he could seriously injure him. Heck, instead of Yami Bakura taking over, Yami actually attacks him.
- Alien Abduction: Tristan apparently went through this when he was a child.
- Borrowed Catchphrase: Bakura uses Tristan's "holy shit on a shit sandwich".
- The Cameo: Multiple ghost characters make appearances, including Slimer, Space Ghost, Casper the Friendly Ghost, The Funky Phantom, and even Ghost Nappa (voiced once more by Takahata101).
- Nappa's cameo extends into The Stinger, in which he complains about almost everyone's hair (his grievances with Mai and Kaiba are about their boobs and personality, respectively). On the other hand, he says he likes Odion (likely because he's also bald), and mistakes Mokuba for a Shiny Pokemon, just as he did Chiaotzu, and readies a Master Ball.
- Deus est Machina: Yami accuses Bakura of being a personified version of this trope.
- Disney Owns This Trope: Bakura causes quite a stir by saying the "forbidden word"... Disney.
- Ethnic Scrappy: Kaiba's Nazi-esque mooks are this in-universe. Even Kaiba thinks they're offensive.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Odion is surprised and not impressed that Yami is even willing to attack a vulnerable Ryo for the sake of the duel.
- Metaphorgotten: "Yes, but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the British... or something along those lines."
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Bakura inadvertently causes his own loss by mentioning Egyptian god cards to Yami, who had forgotten that he had one until that moment.
- Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: "Malik" (who is still hiding his identity) tries to convince everyone that "Marik" is just misunderstood. No one agrees.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted with the two Bakuras (later to be three in season five). Yami is quick to point out how this is both obnoxious and unlikely.
- Refuge in Audacity: Yami almost killing Ryou:Yami: Hey, Bakura! Any last words before Slifer toasts your ass?Ryou: I want my mummy...Yami: That'll work.
- Running Gag: IGNORE ME!
- Self-Deprecation: Subverted as Odion—disguised as Marik—agrees with all the insults aimed at him by those who believe his disguise, claiming that "Yes. I, Marik Ishtar, am a huge jerk!"
- Shout-Out: "Ever duel with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
- Take That!:
- According to Bakura, there is no such thing as good cosplayers.
- Naruto: The Abridged Series doesn't have a fanbase.
- Too Kinky to Torture: Tristan's attempt to scare Duke with the threat of an alien Anal Probe backfires completely.
- Verbal Tic: Joey doesn't even know he has one, if he's to be believed."But I can't hear anything nyeeeeeeeeeeeeh-"
