* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Played with; While the winner of the Fated Clash gets their wish granted, Gabwelius states that the losers only lose the chance to fulfill their wish. However, the person in the fox mask states that the participants of the Fated Clash will die thus putting Gabwelius' words in question.
* BadFuture: [[spoiler:"Fox Mask" is Hikari from the future, who came to the past to prevent Akina's death in the Fated Clash.]]

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Akina is this to Yu-yu:
** Akina is caring and protective of his younger sister, which causes him to start playing Vanguard and join the Fated Clash to wish for her health to improve, while Yu-yu does not hate his two elder sisters, he dislikes them forcing him to crossdress.
** Akina's only teacher on Vanguard is Nao with him creating his deck by himself after researching the game, while Yu-yu had the help of Blackout with his deck.
** Akina is an extrovert with several friends, while Yu-yu starts as more introverted with him gaining more friends and courage after joining Blackout.

* ForegoneConclusion: Episode 1 shows Raika defeating Taizo in the finals of the second Vanguard Deluxe tournamant, thus spoiling how ''[=Will+Dress D2=]'' will end.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Masanori is a self-styled CardCarryingVillain, who causes lots of problems in [=overDress=] for his own amusement, but he is outright horrified at how much of an EmptyShell Suo is and after their fight wants nothing more to do with him after losing the fight.
* InstantExpert: While Akira is the only newbie in the "Fated Clash", he manages to defeat his teacher, Nao Inabe, who is training to become a pro fighter, and Taizo, the runner-up of the Vanguard Deluxe, in the Fated Clash. Although this is downplayed since as stated, he would normally lose to them, but Nao didn't know the full power of Rezael's Divine Skill and Akina was able to grab the 1 in a 100 chance of victory through a risky strategy against Taizo.
* LiteralGenie: [[spoiler:When Suo won the Fated Clash in the original timeline and got his wish for "nothing", Blangdmire interprets his wish as ''becoming'' nothing with him opening a void that sucks everything within a few hundred meter including the other four participants present (Akina, Nao, Mikoto and Masanori).]]

* WhamEpisode: Episode 10 reveals that [[spoiler:in the original timeline, all participants aside from Taizo, who did not took part in the Fated Clash, were all killed by Suo, whose wish for nothing sucked him and the surrounding area into a black hole with nothing left behind]]

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Both Taizo and Mikoto are in disbelief over the fact Akina rearranged his deck so that he does not have a single heal trigger or sentinel, which absolutely no one right in their mind would do. However, the former does compliment Akina for his daring strategy.

For bonus points, Mikoto is an online friend of Hikari, whom she tries to meet up with to help buy her first physical deck, but due to her sickness, Akina comes instead.

* LiteralGenie: [[spoiler:When Suo won the Fated Clash in the original timeline and got his wish for "nothing", it opened a black hole that sucked him the surrounding area and nearby participants with nothing left behind.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Masanori is always playful and mocking in his fights yet he is outright ''unnerved'' by Suo, who not only lacks a single reaction to his taunts, but more or less is a complete EmptyShell. [[spoiler:When Suo wins the fight with his ace's Divine Skill, which makes Masanori feel completely helpless against the overwhelming attack.]] He is brought down to his knees and outright wants nothing to do with Suo.
* ScrewDestiny: "Fox Mask" attempts to do this by making either Akina or Suo lose or withdraw from the Fated Clash, but [[spoiler:ends up unsuccessful with the two still being the last fighters remaining]]. However, Taizo does believe that Akina can alter his fate since despite the low odds in their fight, Akina is still able to grab the small chance of victory in his hands.

** Akina is caring and protective of his younger sister, which causes him to start playing Vanguard and join the Fated Fight to wish for her health to improve, while Yu-yu does not hate his two elder sisters, he dislikes them forcing him to crossdress.

* BigBrotherInstinct: What causes Akina to join the Fated Clash is to wish for Hikari's health to improve. [[spoiler:This feeling is mutual with a future version of Hikari going to the past to prevent her brother's death in the Fated Clash.]]

* CrazyEnoughToWork: Akina knows that his chances of victory are very slim against Taizo so he goes against all logic and makes his deck a complete beatdown and rush deck that doesn't have any heal triggers or sentinels and only has critical and front triggers. Due to the fact Taizo didn't know this, he ended up wasting a turn attacking rear-guards due to assuming Akina's last card in his hand was a sentinel along with not wanting to trigger Rezael's Divine Skill.
