Also known as ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Movie: [[Super Fusion! Bonds That Transcend Time]]''.
 
A movie special made for the [[Milestone Celebration|tenth anniversary]] of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.
 
Featuring the three protagonists of [[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|the]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|three]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|series]], they fight against a mysterious man, Paradox, who intends to bring the world down the path of destruction. He first steals Yusei's Stardust Dragon then travels back in time, piling up a good number of... questionable acts on his list in order to realize his goal. The three protagonists eventually get to him, challenging him to the ultimate duel.
 
The movie debuted in Japan on the 23rd of January in 2010. [[4Kids! Entertainment]] announced their plans of dubbing the movie, and the English version of the movie premiered on February 26th26, 2011, under the name "Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time". An encore run of the movie was announced for Japan nationwide on that same date, as part of the Worldwide Anniversary. The Japanese DVD was released on June 16, 2011. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110904023534/http://www.animemaki.net/2011/04/yu-gi-oh-3d-bonds-beyond-time-to-be-released-on-dvd-in-july/ The English DVD WAS set for release on July 19, 2011.] But Wal-mart did not end up receiving copies of the DVD at the expected date. Now the release has been changed to a vague "December 2011". Never fear however, [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yu-Gi-Oh-Beyond-Blu-ray/dp/B004TEC7PY the UK release of the Blu-Ray/DVD] is available 2D and 3D ready, and even contains the original Japanese version of the movie! Which is the first time Yu-Gi-Oh! has had such a release since the [[Too Good to Last|few Uncut DVD's]] 4kids released back in 2004.
 
Shin Yoshida, the screenwriter of the movie and one of the series compositors of the three series, stated that Paradox's true character will be revealed in the future episodes of 5D's. {{spoiler|Paradox finally made a cameo in the main series, as of Episode 135 of 5D's.}}
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[3D Movie]]
* [[The Abridged Series]]: [[Little Kuriboh]], creator of [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wu5xfzbY2E abridged] Bonds Beyond Time. [[Yu-Gi-Oh GX the Abridged Series|With ShadyVox as Jaden]].
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Animation Bump]]: The animation is much more detailed and fluid compared to the anime series. It helps that the animation director was Takahiro Kagami.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Not only the movie has the three protagonists with their amazing hairstyles in one place, but Paradox's hairstyle takes this trope [[Beyond the Impossible]].
** Lampshaded by Jack in the dub while looking at a picture of Yugi.
** "Doesn't really look like much of a challenge. Especially with that dated hair style."
* [[Anti-Villain]]: According to Atsushi Tamura, Paradox's voice actor. He noted that he doesn't want people to consider Paradox as a typical villain, and that he also carries grief on his shoulders and has a peculiar reason to battle.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Big OMG]]/[[Big No]]: {{spoiler|Pegasus, right before his death.}}
** Also, Yugi {{spoiler|when he realises that his Grandpa is dead.}}
** Dub Paradox, when Stardust Mirage is activated.
* [[Bishonen]]: Paradox, of course.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Guess.
* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: {{spoiler|By the second turn of the game, the protagonists are basically in control of the whole game, with Paradox not doing very much to bring them down.}}
* [[The Cameo]]: Pegasus, Yugi's grandpa, Crimson Dragon, Jack, Crow, Leo, Luna, Akiza, Daitokuji and Yubel.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: In the Japanese version, Pegasus gets a foreboding feeling while en route to his destination. That might have something to do with the fact that his helicopter is flying straight into a swirling vortex of thunderclouds.
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Paradox.
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: {{spoiler|More like an enormous building.}}
* [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole]]: 4Kids completely passes over the events of GX's final season, which wasn't dubbed.
** Unless you look at it from a diffirent perspective. Say, Jaden ended up in Venice {{spoiler|fused with Yubel}} after the end of GX's third season?
* [[Dying Race]]: {{spoiler|Paradox is one of the few humans remaining on Earth in the future.}}
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
* [[Fusion Dance]]: {{spoiler|Paradox with Sin Truth Dragon, after Sin Paradox Dragon is destroyed.}}
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Jaden provides a [[media:JuudaiV.jpg|truly spectacular example]], although the British audience would more likely get it. (For those not living in the United Kingdom, [[The Other Wiki]] has an [[wikipedia:V sign#V sign as an insult|explanation]].)
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Before the climactic duel Paradox gives the heroes one, stating that even before he began to change history there were 'contradictions' such as [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|environmental destruction, war and human cruelty]], and that their futures are not the right ones. Considering he comes from a [[Bad Future]], it makes sense he feels that way.
** [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: The protagonists respond by saying that given time humanity can overcome those 'contradictions' and [[Screw Destiny|that people have the power to change the future themselves.]]
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Yugi goes through one after he realizes that Grampa Moto is dead. Hence the Pharaoh taking over for the duration of the duel.}}
** {{spoiler|Yusei himself has a pretty bad one that pushes him to the brink of surrender, coaxed back only by Yugi and Jaden, it may or may not have to do with him seen struggling to be on the other side of Stardust from the 5D's openings.}}
Line 85 ⟶ 84:
* [[In Medias Res]]: The movie starts in Venice, where Paradox is attacking Jaden with his dragons.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: The trailers for the Japanese version of the movie spoiled for the dub viewers at the time that Jaden {{spoiler|fused with Yubel and gained his/her powers}} and Yusei {{spoiler|became the owner of the Dragon Head birthmark}}.
** The Yubel part becomes a [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole]], as 4Kids never aired season 4 of GX.
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: At the end of the movie, Pegasus says he has a special card for the children attending the tournament he paid a visit to and asks them to take one. People who attended the movie received Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon, which was a limited edition card and could be obtained only that way (unless you bought the special movie packs).
{{quote|'''Yugi:''' ''(to Paradox)'' We don't care about your [[Backstory]]!}}
* [[Left Hanging]]: {{spoiler|How the distant future Paradox lived in got destroyed and the true identity of Paradox.}}
** {{spoiler|1=Elaborated on in Episodes 134/135 of 5D's.}}
* [[Le Parkour]]: Jaden, somehow managing to get from the top of a column in St. Mark's Square to the roof of a nearby building to avoid the attacks of Rainbow Dragon and Cyber End Dragon.
* [[A Lighter Shade of Grey]]/[[Grey and Gray Morality]]: See [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] above, but this might be [[A Lighter Shade of Grey]] due to the bigger protagonist count.
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: The ending theme, Makemagic, while it sounds catchy and all, the lyrics are about somebody describing their female lover, down to their lips and skin and wanting to embrace them. Its about as out of place as it can get for a movie aimed at young boys.
Line 109 ⟶ 108:
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|Pegasus, upon turning around only to see a whole building collapsing on him.}}
** {{spoiler|Also Paradox, right before his defeat.}}
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Two characters had their actors replaced in the dub -- Solomondub—Solomon Mutou (the late [[Maddie Blaustein]] to [[Wayne Grayson]]) and Yubel ([[Cassandra Lee]] to Eileen Stevens).
* [[Our Time Travel Is Different]]: The Instantaneous Time Travel variety. It also seems to combine the Wormhole version.
* [[Plug N Play Technology]]: Duel disks: ones made right before the end of the world in the distant future are compatible with the ones in modern day.
Line 115 ⟶ 114:
*** There's a simple explanation. We know the cards in-universe contain ID chips that the Duel Disks read, so all the Duel Disk needs to have are the rules of the game programmed into it. This makes even more sense when you realize that, with new cards being released, it would not only be nearly impossible to have EVERY Disk updated for the new cards, it would have to store all of the rules for each individual card as well as the 3D hologram data on an internal hard drive, which would be pretty much impossible with the amount of cards. It makes much more sense to assume that all differences in Duel Disks are purely cosmetic (How else could the Orichalcos Disks exist?) and that the cards themselves are what cause them to work.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Going by the movie title, is this really a surprise?
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: When the duel begins in the English Dub each of the protagonists utter their respective catchphrase.
{{quote|'''Jaden:''' (eyes glowing) "Paradox, get ready to get your game on!"
'''Yusei:''' (Signer Mark glowing) "Your twisted time crusade ends here. Let's rev it up!"
Line 129 ⟶ 128:
* [[Short Anime Movie]]: Only 49 minutes long, though both the dubbed version and the Encore run will be lengthened by 10 minutes.
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: Paradox wears them, although they [[Fridge Logic|disappear without explanation]] when the duel begins. Even more confusing because the official art shows Paradox without shoulderpads, and in another art they are bolted to his outfit.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Paradox wears spiky bracelets, has spikes on his shoes, even his hairstyle is a bit spiky. Then there are the... [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|oddly placed]] spikes on his chest.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Not the movie itself, but ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'' during the period it promoted the movie with clips inserted into the OP and the ED. It spoiled quite a few things, such as {{spoiler|Pegasus and Sugoroku being killed by the collapsing buildings, and Paradox summoning and fusing with Sin Truth Dragon}}.
* [[Surreal Theme Tune]]/[[Thematic Theme Tune]]: makemagic. One half could be called as relevant to the movie, but the other half of the song is rather rife with romantic overtones, with the chorus being about the singer wanting to take someone in their arms. It is an especially odd case because Atsushi Tamura himself mentioned that he deliberately wrote the song to be in vibe with the movie.
Line 145 ⟶ 144:
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The theatrical dubbed release and the Encore run of the movie in Japan are planned to have additional footage added in. The Encore run will feature a special 10 minute extension in 2D.
* [[Watching the Sunset]]: Paradox does this in the distant future.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Paradox wants to save the future by {{spoiler|experimenting with history in order to find the best possible outcome. He almost ends up destroying reality doing so.}} He also has a [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] attitude.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Only Stardust Dragon's capture was shown on-screen, how Paradox obtained the other dragons was never shown. Jaden calls out Paradox on stealing Rainbow Dragon from Johan, but the plot point was never elaborated on, and the fate of the cards' original owners is not known. When one considers Paradox's methodes, it couldn't have been very pleasant.
** Additionally, {{spoiler|ZONE, Antinomy, and Aporia are nowhere to be seen in Paradox's future. While this may have been justified in the theater release due to spoilers for 5D's, it doesn't for the DVD release.}}
