* TranslationNod: When Kaiba runs a simulation of how his new Deck with the cards he won from Pegasus fares in a Duel against Yugi, the screen [[FreezeFrameBonus quickly runs]] through the names of the monsters in their decks in English text, and even in the Japanese version they all show the DubNameChange that the cards get in the English TCG rather than the Japanese OCG, including Des Feral Imp instead of Death Gremlin, Dark Magician instead of Black Magician, and Slifer the Sky Dragon instead of any version of Osiris.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: To showcase how desperate Kaiba is for the chance to defeat Yugi, he challenges Pegasus to a duel and freakin ''wagers all of his Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards'' in exchange for a card that can beat the Egyptian God Cards.

Power Walk has been renamed to Team Power Walk and only applies to groups.


* PowerWalk: A single-character variant. Yugi and Kaiba do this on opposite ends of the room before the duel begins. Holograms of Duel Monsters add to the effect.

Misuse. Made back its budget.


The film was a [[BoxOfficeBomb box office disappointment]] in North America (where it was titled simply as ''Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie''), although it is still the sixth-highest grossing anime movie of all time there, just barely ahead of Creator/StudioGhibli's ''[[Anime/{{Arrietty}} The Secret World of Arrietty]]''.

The Japanese version came second this time, at least by all accounts I've read.


* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The dub version has a few mistakes during the duel between Yugi and Kaiba, including leaving out the explanation for Kaiba using Paladin of White Dragon's effect to summon his Blue-Eyes, showing Yugi drawing "Diffusion-Wave Motion" instead of the correct "Double Spell" near the end of the duel, Anubis summoning his two sphinxes without explanation in the dub, and Yugi declaring his turn over after destroying the Pyramid of Light, which would have cost him the duel since he was out of cards (in Japan he never ended his turn and went right to summoning the God Cards).
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Kaiba, as per usual; the dub significantly ups his ego mania and obsession with defeating Yugi, and makes him a huge sore loser as well, whereas the Japanese dub has him more directly acknowledge that he wants to win under his own power, rather than through the influence of Anubis.
