However, at one point after several of these, a failed Logic check will instead result in Logic acknowledging that it's just a setback and no big deal, causing the other skills to get mad that Logic is handling it so much more gracefully than they did. Logic's response is "I'm just more level headed than you. That's my thing."

The second is using the phrase "Attention, Duelists!" to begin every line of dialogue that he says. This is because he works as a tournament announcer, so it makes sense. But one time, when he was alone with Seto Kaiba and used the CatchPhrase, Kaiba questioned why he said it. Kemo responded by quoting this trope by name.
