Back-to-Back Badasses: Joey and Tristan move behind Yugi in episode 3 as they attack Neo Aqua Madoor while Yugi fights La Jinn. Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Five-Headed Dragon, Seven-Armed Fiend and Reshef the Dark Being are all villainous, huge creatures that the heroes must defeat. In term of Duel Monsters, Happy Lover, Magician of Black Chaos, and Black Luster Soldier have way more screen time and plot importance in this series compare to the original series, with Happy Lover serving as Tea's Starter Mon and the group's healer while the latter two are Yugi's Ace Monsters. Solomon Muto is a straight example, as he's rarely utilized in the original series but is present throughout here. While they're always present in the main series, Téa and Tristan actually get to contribute to events. At the end of the series, 20 Capsule Monsters have been destroyed, 7 of which are from the hero side and include some that are prominent monsters from either the original series ( Summonned Skull, Flame Swordman, Baby Dragon) or Monsters that contributed to the plot ( Happy Lover, Thunder Kid, Shovel Crusher, Dark Witch) This trope really takes effect during the final battle, where monsters on both sides are destroyed often. Anyone Can Die: If a Capsule Monster is destroyed, it's forever lost, just like Solomon's Summoned Skull. The Anime of the Game: There's a real board game and the PS2 game Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum, which are in turn based off of the Capsule Monster Chess game from the manga. All Your Powers Combined: The Armor of Unity is made of Joey, Téa, Tristan and Solomon's dragons merging with Yugi's Duel Armor. All There in the Manual: Many of the monsters the gang fights are named in the Trading Card Game, but not in the anime itself. A larger plot lingers in the background as Yugi and the others try to figure out why they are in this other world and how to escape. Shortly after arriving, the friends are separated by various wild enemies chasing after them and are forced to assess their situation as they regroup. Yugi and his friends discover a gateway to another world where the Capsule Monsters game is very real.
Brisbane leads the gang to the pyramid the two of them were exploring when Solomon vanished. On the way, their plane crashes and they conveniently run into the last man to have seen Yugi's grandpa before he disappeared, Alex Brisbane. Like Pyramid of Light, it was commissioned and produced by 4Kids Entertainment, making it one of the few pieces of Yu-Gi-Oh! media to be made outside of Japan.Ī week after his grandfather goes on a secret expedition, Yugi and his friends win tickets for a vacation to India. A spin-off of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series that places Yugi, Yami Yugi, Joey (Jonouchi), Téa (Anzu), Tristan (Honda) and Solomon (Sugoroku) Mutou in another world based on the Capsule Monsters board game.
