Added DiffLines:

* LyingByOmission: Several people, in order to hide their status as {{Dimensional Traveller}}s, use half truths when asked about their origin. A common line is that they're "out of town". Such things are also used for other things, such as when Judai is trying to hide that Yuto and Kurosaki came from a warzone - he calls them "teenagers with trust issues".

It IS an In Universe example, it was right there in the original description.

Added DiffLines:

* UncannyValley: Yuzu and Kurosaki are creeped out by Yuto and Yuya respectively because they are {{Identical Stranger}}s to people they are friends with yet act so differently from each other. Kurosaki is also freaked out by Yuzu, who not only looks identical to his missing sister, but is a Fusion user. Judai is the only one who doesn't have this reaction, because despite having the same face they're different in everything else.

''While in the middle of the stadium in full view of the entire city'']].

* StepfordSmiler: Discussed. Judai disagrees with Yusho's philosophy because in his own words, if you laugh away your sadness and bottle up your emotions instead of expressing them, eventually you'll crack under the pressure, fall into anger and do something irreparable. Yuya is left disturbed by the whole thing, because he still idolises his father.

He drops this attitude after Judai summons one of said spirits in front of him.

** The {{Identical Stranger}}s misunderstanding between Yuzu, Yuya and Yuto is solved very quickly.
*** As a first consequence, Yuto never starts spying on Yuzu and Sora, which means that Sora never meets him.
*** Yuya is also informed of Yuto's existence much earlier than in canon.
** Reiji never participates in the duel war between You Show and LDS, so the mass production of Pendulum cards remains a secret.
** Judai makes Sora teach Yuzu Fusion summoning out in the open, so the entire scene with Yuzu, Sora, Yuto and Masumi in the warehouse never happens.
** Judai interferes with Yuto and Kurosaki's attacks on LDS before they escalate too far, which means that LDS never succeeds in tracking them down. As a result:
*** The LDS trio never meets Yuto and Kurosaki or even learn about the situation.
*** Kurosaki never makes the deal with Akaba Reiji.
** Yuya correctly pegs Sora as an Academia student, and never stops being suspicious of him.
** Yuya learns about the different dimensions from Judai and Johan, and they manage to more or less put together a general outline of the conflicts between Fusion and Xyz. That said, they're unaware of the true porportions.
** ''Yoko'' of all people learns about the different dimensions. She also meets Yuto, which never happened in canon.
** The abilities of Yuzu's bracelet are never revealed.
** Yuya learns that duel monster spirits are real before the Maiami Championship is even brought up, while in canon he only found out in the final arc.
** [[spoiler:Yuto takes Kurosaki's place in the Maiami Championship.]]



* MagicalAccessory: Yuzu's bracelet like in canon, though ''unlike'' canon they never find out what it actually does because Yuya, Yuzu and Yuto were never in the same room together. However, it does start glowing when the three end up in the same area - with Yuto out of sight - making Judai take it from her for further examination.



%% * StealthHiBye: Yuto has mastered this.

%% * SpotlightStealingSquad: Yuya thinks that Judai is this in-universe, and that Yuya will be "replaced". Judai tells him that's not happening.
* StealthHiBye: Yuto has mastered this.In Yuto's debut, all it took was for Yuzu to look away for one second for him to vanish from sight.



* UncannyValley: The counterparts are an in-universe example. Yuzu and Kurosaki are creeped out by Yuto and Yuya respectively because they act so differently from each other. Judai is the only one who doesn't have a problem, because despite having the same face they're different in everything else.

In ff.net, paragraph breaks do not work in the summary. It really is one long continuous paragraph like that.


->''"You're not from around here, are you?"
"Nope."
"Travelled far then, have you?"
"Preeeeetty far, yeah."
Most people would probably have experienced a nervous breakdown upon getting thrust into the distant future of parallel dimensions. To Yuki Judai, it counts as a normal Tuesday. Almost.''
