* GoodCounterpart: Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo's ability and appearance are also the opposite of Gimmick Puppet: Giant Grinder and Heaven's String. While most Gimmick Puppets have somewhat disturbing and grotesque appearances, this card looks more righteous and benevolent. Also, unlike Giant Grinder and Gimmick Puppet of Strings, this card does not involve destroying monsters or inflicting effect damage. Instead, this card involves winning through a peaceful method.

** Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo is a winged lion standing atop a pedestal, which also gives off the vibe of it being the Gimmick Puppets' king.

* CallBack: The Gravekeeper's theme deck has collected a fair handful of Continuity Cameos from the original series cast whose originals were closely tied to the Ancient Egypt lore.

* NoSell: Gold Sarcophagus of Light cannot be destroyed by monster effects. This protects it from being destroyed by "Geas Gandora the Dragon of Destruction"'s effect, which would otherwise destroy all other cards on the field.

** Immortal Phoenix Gearfried has the same title as one of the forms of The Winged Dragon of Ra. In ''Anime/YuGiOh'', Joey Wheeler nearly beat Yami Marik, who possessed Ra at the time, in a duel.

* BackFromTheDead: Helios Duo and Trice Megistus can be Special Summoned from the graveyard during the end phase if they are destroyed by battle. [[CameBackStrong They also receive extra ATK and DEF every time they come back]].

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Additional Gaia the Fierce Knight monsters didn't have any unifying mechanic besides being able to Summon themselves from the hand without Tributes. Later monsters would support the Black Luster Soldier archetype, with some Gaia the Fierce Knight support cards also supporting the Black Luster Soldier archetype. Even later, the archetype would gain cards that support the Gaia the Dragon Champion archetype, as well as support the Curse of Dragon series through effects that interact with Level 5 Dragon monsters, which all Curse of Dragon monsters are.

* Daddy'sGirl: Gender inverted and both a son and the four grandsons version of it, the new Hours monster Sinergise very well with Slifer AKA Osiris, Horus' father. who gets stronger the more cards you have in your hand.

* PapaWolf: Horus the Black Flame diety's effect of summoning himself in case another Horus monster leaves the field has shades of this, as it looks like he is about to beat whoever harms his sons.

* Daddy'sGilr: Gender inverted and both a son and the four grandsons version of it, the new Hours monster Sinergise very well with Slifer AKA Osiris, Horus' father. who gets stronger the more cards you have in your hand.

* NoSell: Gold Sarcophagus of Light cannot be destroyed by monster effects.

'''Gold Sarcophagus of Light''' is a Continuous Spell card and retrain of "Gold Sarcophagus" that also comprises a series of monsters that specifically revolve around controlling it, all of which are retrains of iconic cards wielded by Yugi Muto during his final duel against Yami Yugi in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime series.

* SummonBiggerFish: [[IncrediblyLamePun Quite literally in this case.]] The archetype's main strategy is Synchro Summoning Fish monsters during the opponent's turn to disrupt their plays.

'''[[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ghoti Ghoti]]''' is an archetype of Fish Type WATER monsters focused on Synchro Summoning on the opponent's turn by banishing their own tuners, which come back on each Standby Phase. They are currently exclusive to the TCG.

The first group consist originally consisted of trio of EARTH monsters that search out a copy of one of the other two from the deck when summoned. Two more members were later added - Gold and Silver - followed by their Link Monster, Platinum. Lacking in power, those gadgets rely on cards like Stronghold the Moving Fortress for offense. They share a connection with the Ancient Gear archetype through Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon and Chimera (and later Ancient Gear Hydra and Reactor Dragon), and are later supported by a subset of "Boot-Up" monsters that can equip them to support and fuel their lines of play.

Yugi Muto used Gadgets cards from the first group against his alter ego in the original series while Kaiba used Gadget Soldier during the Battle City arc. Lua/[[DubNameChange Leo]] used the second group in Anime/YuGiOh5Ds.

This archetype also includes the Cyberse monster "Cyberse Gadget" and its Token, "Gadget Token", played by Yusaku Fujiki in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'' anime, although neither are functionally related to the rest of the "Gadget" archetype.

* WeakButSkilled: "Gimmick Puppet" monsters don't have high ATK (the strongest being the level four Gimmick Puppet Egg Head), but have effects ranging from stalling, swarming and even summoning monsters to the opponent's side of the field for effect manipulation. Their main strategy seems to be taking advantage of the opponent's monsters with high ATK to deal effect damage with their ace monsters, Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings and Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder, as well as their respective Number C forms, Number C15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Hunter and Number C40: Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings. Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo and Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo offer alternate victory strategies with their effects. Having said that, if you can prevent them from Xyz Summoning, there's not a lot else they can do unless the player's trap/spell lineup has an answer for it.

Duel Monsters'' anime series.
