* In the original ''Manga/YuGiOh'' manga, the Shadow Games Yami Yugi would challenge the despicable villain of the issue to could be ''anything''. Consider it EarlyInstallmentWeirdness; Duel Monsters being the center of the universe didn't come along for some time, but this era suffers from NoExportForYou. He's called "king of games", plural, for a reason, and simply not being the first to make a noise was used once. (The bad guy's ''heartbeat'' as it raced when anticipating victory caused him to lose. This means Yami got to inflict a CoolAndUnusualPunishment -- in this case, the bad guy's own heartbeat became deafeningly loud to him alone, in punishment for what he'd done earlier in the issue.)
