History Manga / YuGiOh5Ds

* ChildHater: Crow claims to be this, but he DOESN'T play this trope straight. He cares deeply for his brother (in fact, a major motivation in his participation in the Grand Prix tournament is to make his brother proud), and the only other children he meets but doesn't get along with are Rua and Ruka (when they are DrunkOnTheDarkSide, that is).

* FauxAffablyEvil: Rex Goodwin, as usual. While it's clear from the beginning, and even more so during the first stage of the D1 Grand Prix, that he has some sort of plan, the true depths he's willing to sink to beat Skeleton Knight are made quite clear with [[spoiler:his willingness to MindRape Ruka and use her as a pawn to bring out Yusei's full potential]]

* FullNameBasis: Ran Kobayakawa refers to herself like this.

* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Duelists that are possessed by their Duel Dragons.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Yeager is not seen at all at in the bonus chapters.

** Aki, while still a Psychic Duelist, is a lot more kind.

** Aki is alot more kinder from the start and her psychic power is different.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: During the MirrorMatch between Crow and his dark copy, Crow, having had to withstand his dueling strategies and moves being used against him, gets fed up at one point and tells his dark copy to "make your own move". Cue his dark copy Synchro-Summoning a Duel Dragon, which Crow lacks at the moment.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: In the first round of the Grand Prix, victory is granted to the duelist fulfilling one of the following 3 conditions onto his/her opponent: 1) damaging the opponent's duel runner during the duel so that it can't function, 2) reducing the opponent's Life Points to 0, or 3) finishing the required laps first. In Yusei's duels against Bommer/Greiger and Hunter Pace, each of Yusei's opponents suffers ''two'' of the above conditions (Bommer/Greiger for the first two and Hunter Pace for the last two).

* BalloonBelly: Rua and Crow in a omake, as a result of them having an EatingContest.

* OneTurnKill: Crow to Bolt Tanner in the duel between them. Bommer/[[DubNameChange Greiger]] tries to pull this on Yusei in their own respective duel, but [[AvertedTrope it doesn't work out for him]].

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While a kind person in the anime, Manga Yusei is a lot more emotional.

or are actually dead.

* AlternateContinuity

* AdaptationDyeJob: On the cover of volume 3 as seen above, Kiryu's eyes are blue.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The twins Rua and Ruka first appeared as antagonists.

* IsThatTheBestYouCanDo: Jack makes this kind of statement when he believes he has won the duel against his opponent.

*** Finally, when Aki reveals her face-down trap card in a attempt to stop Kiryu's attack with his Void Ogre Dragon, only for Kiryu to reveal that his Void Ogre Dragon can negate Aki's trap card ''and'' gain a boost of 500 in attack points in so doing, which will ensure Aki's defeat.

* RedBaron: King of Divine Punishment, Black Highlander. Save his Red Dragons, Jack's entire deck is a "King" deck. Jack himself is also called The King.

* [[spoiler:TogetherInDeath]]: [[spoiler:When The Skeleton Knight dies his spirit as Rudger Godwin reunites with Ish.]]

* ChildHater: Crow claims to be this, but he DOESN'T play this trope straight.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Or defeat with dignity in this case. When the Skeleton Knight is about to lose his duel with Yusei he stops his horse and takes the attack head on.

* MythologyGag:

** Two cards that are used by Yusei and Jack respectively in the bonus chapter are named after the MidSeasonUpgrade they received in the anime, [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Accel_Synchro_(card) Accel Synchro]] and [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burning_Soul_(card) Burning Soul]].
** The five priests of light wear the same cloaks the Dark Signers wore but white in color.

* OneTurnKill: Crow to Bolt Tanner in the duel between them.

* PlayingWithFire: Bommer/Greiger duels with a Fire-type deck.

The manga is written by Masahiro Hikokubo and supervised by Kazuki Takahashi.

* TemptingFate: During the MirrorMatch between Crow and his dark copy, Crow, having had to withstand his dueling strategies and moves being used against him, gets fed up at one point and tells his dark copy to "make your own move". Cue his dark copy Synchro-Summoning a Duel Dragon, which Crow lacks at the moment.

-->'''Ran''': If Aki isn't wearing her uniform while dueling... I shan't wear one to watch!

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The effect of Queen Angel of Roses, which destroys the monster with the lowest Attack points at the beginning of its turn, applies to itself as well. During the duel between Aki and Kalin, it actually ends up destroying itself with said effect because of this, much to the shock and horror of Aki's classmates.

* PimpedOutDress: Ran wears one when she joins her and Aki's classmates as spectators of the Grand Prix tournament. An omake focusing on her explains, her reason for doing so instead of wearing her school uniform as her other classmates do is due to her continued rivalry (in her own mind, anyway) between herself and Aki:

** Kiryu while using Shadow Miasma acts alot like his Dark Signer self.

* AbortedArc: The vs. Jack Rematch due to the tournament being interrupted. However the bonus chapter managed to fix that.

* MythologyGag: Yeager's D-Wheel, the Destiny Clown is the same one from the video game Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers.

* OhCrap: Everyone when Godwin special summons three Duel Dragons through Ultimaya Tzolkin's effect.

* RedBaron: King of Divine Punishment, Black Highlander. Save his Red Dragons, Jack's entire deck is a "King" deck.

** Jack and Kalin were cordial when they were both residents in V.S.S.L. in their childhood days, but after Kalin lost the duel between himself and Jack, he stole the Red Demon card, which was the prize for said duel. Jack had since then regarded Kalin as a SoreLoser who betrayed his trust, until the two of them dueled again (this time during the Grand Prix tournament) and Jack found out at the end of their second duel ''why'' Kalin committed the theft in the first place.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the anime Sherry was a BadassNormal but here she was made into a Psychic Duelist like Aki.

* {{Expy}}: Six of the Duel Dragons look exactly like the Signer Dragons but with weird markings on their bodies.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Rex Godwin, as usual. While it's clear from the beginning, and even more so during the first stage of the D1 Grand Prix, that he has some sort of plan, the true depths he's willing to sink to beat Skeleton Knight are made quite clear with [[spoiler: his willingness to MindRape Ruka and use her as a pawn to bring out Yusei's full potential]]

* AGodAmI: Rex Godwin, just like in the anime.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:The Ultimate God]]

* RedBaron: King of Divine Punishment, Black Highlander

* TheCameo: Carly in Ride 9.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Aki and Sherry used to be schoolmates, until Aki left it due to being fed up by the mentality of other duelists in said school (where Sherry has remained right up to the time of the plot). Sherry took offense at it (she considers such an action "dereliction of her duty"), and the Grand Prix tournament marked the first time the two of them saw or spoke to one another again after Aki joined the school she's remained in as a student.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Late in the turbo duel between Aki and Sherry, Aki ''closes her eyes while still riding on her D-Wheel''. Aside from Yusei, who thinks she's truly enjoying her duel, everyone in-universe reacts with shock and horror (even Yeager looks worried). [[JustifiedTrope To be fair, however]]: 1.) She does this as a necessary measure to block Sherry's [[PsychicPower Hand Scan ability]], 2.) she KNOWS how dangerous such a stunt is, which is why she hesitates about doing so, even at the brink of defeat, 3.) it takes some encouragement from her friends and fellow classmates (instigated by Ran Kobayakawa, no less) to get her to really let go of her inhibition, and 4.) when asked by Sherry about where Aki learned to ride her D-Wheel so safely despite closing her eyes after Aki wins the duel between them, Aki is so shocked by the realization of what she had to that she loses the strength in her legs momentarily, before admitting to Sherry that it's a desperate measure that she can't believe she managed to pull off and that she can't be counted on to pull off again.

* FunWithAcronyms: V.S.F.L. (Virtual Soild Feel Lab). Changed to V.S.S.L. (Virtual Soild Sense Laboratory) in the English version.
