{{tropelist}}
* [[Abandoned Warehouse]]: The Toei ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' series gave a warehouse to the yoyo gang, the [[Stalker with a Crush|Capumon guy]] and the [[The Kid with the Remote Control|guy who plays with 'digital pets']].
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Jounouchi's alcoholic father, as well as Seto and Mokuba Kaiba's stepfather.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: It's hard to imagine Seto Kaiba being any more evil than he was in the manga's Death T arc, but at least there it was shown that his stepfather Gozaburo demonstrating to him that "to lose is to die" via his suicide and his later experiencing an illusionary death as penalty for losing a duel to Yami Yugi gave him a solid [[Freudian Excuse]]. In this anime, the "experience death" penalty game doesn't happen, and Seto taking over his company from Gozaburo happens ''in the present day time'' while Seto's still an evil sociopath, which leads Gozaburo to a botched suicide (he gets vertigo and faints rather than jumps out the window) which has no effect on Seto whatsoever.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Seto Kaiba....has GREEN HAIR.
* [[Amusement Park|Amusement Park Of Doom]]: Death-T.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Miho Nosaka.
** To elaborate, she was only used in one chapter in the manga as a love interest to Tristan (who promptly shot him down when he asked to be her boyfriend). She was used more in the anime to help fill out the girl quota though at best she mostly a [[Satellite Character]]. ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged]]'' (when it focuses on the Season 0 series) hilariously lampshades this by hardly having her speak and when she does it a very over the top voice that the other characters bluntly ignore.
** Also Seto Kaiba. At the time of this anime's production, he was an [[Arc Villain]], but this anime made him the recurring [[Big Bad]].
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Yami Yugi can become [[Axe Crazy]] [[Bullying a Dragon|if]] [[Heroic BSOD|you]] [[Berserk Button|get]] [[Unstoppable Rage|him]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|mad]] [[What the Hell, Hero?|enough.]]
* [[Believing Their Own Lies]]: An early [[Phony Psychic]] enemy of the week.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Ryou Bakura is a very sweet, shy, quiet, polite guy. With a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] that he's only vaguely aware exists.
** The same goes for Yugi. He is nice and weak, until his psychotic side wakes up.
* [[Big Bad]]: Seto Kaiba, by virtue of being the [[Arch Enemy]], is this for most of the series, with Yami Bakura taking over the role for the last few episodes.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Kaiba, he pretends to befriend Yugi and has Yugi's grandfather's Blue Eyes White Dragon switched with a copy. When Yugi figures this out and calls out Kaiba on the switch, Kaiba loses the facade and whacks Yugi in the face with a briefcase.▼

* [[Character Development]]: Mostly for the two Yugis, but everyone gets a decent amount at the least.
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: Cruelly averted in the Zombire story.
Line 38:
* [[The Dark Side]]: Many characters in Yu-Gi-Oh! fall into some Dark Side's trap, usually by trying to use an [[Artifact of Doom]] (e.g., Marik, Bakura, Pegasus, Aknadin). Yami Yugi is not immune to this effect.
* [[Death Trap]]: Kaiba's sadistic "amusement park," "Death-T," is basically a long series of increasingly difficult death traps designed to defeat and kill Yugi.
* [[The Ditz]]: Miho
* [[Duels Decide Everything]]: If you have a conflict, battle with cards!
* [[Fan Nickname]]: 'Series 0' or 'Season 0' for the Toei anime.
Line 44:
* [[Fighting Series]]: Using a children's card game.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: A dark series about a weak and pathethic boy whose darker side wakes up to brutally punish those who inflicted pain to him by using demonic magic ([[Magic Prerequisite|which requires a victory in an unspecific game to activate]]) ... [[Sarcasm Mode|it totally sounds like a series about a children's card game]].
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The Ayakashi sisters, a trio of teenage witches in one episode, go completely unpunished for their crimes aside from getting defeated in a duel by Kaiba's intervention, as the episode just abruptly ends after Kaiba walks out the door.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Kaoruko Himekoji, the [[Alpha Bitch]] antagonist of one episode, gets her comeuppance not from any [[Mind Rape]] or penalty game, but by Yami Yugi telling her the [[Sarcasm Mode|shocking truth]] that people grow old and lose their good looks to age! Hearing this makes Kaoruko lose heart in her act for the talent show and she basically sleepwalks through it as a result.
