* RulesLawyer: Cell, who literally just learned of the existence of the game, becomes such a rules lawyer in the course of a single day that he is able to frustrate Yugi into forfeiting the match. He'll eventually use a little bit of this in the main series as well, when he declares Senzu Beans "tournament illegal"... but only after he has benefitted from them first.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Is it possible to have a match in ''Anime/YuGiOh'', or even a parody, without Yugi calling out his famous "It's time to duel!" cathphrase? No, apparently not.

* GoKartingWithBowser: After learning that Yami Yugi isn't some almighty Pharaoh like Perfect Cell initially thought and was instead wanting to challenge him to a Duel in ''Duel Monsters'', Perfect Cell is genuinely excited at the prospect of playing the game.

[[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi Moto]] approaches the ring for the Cell Games[[note]]presented by Hetap[[/note]] where a drowsy Cell is starting to nap. After being jolted awake by Yugi, Cell interacts with the challenger, becoming genuinely excited about the prospect of fighting after listening to some of Yami Yugi's boasting and posturing. When Yugi officially challenges him to a duel, Cell eagerly accepts, only to be left flabbergasted when Yugi asks where Cell's deck is.

Cell wonders out loud if he's being pranked, but after Yugi insists that it isn't and explains a little about the Duel Monsters card game, Cell is surprisingly enthusiastic about playing. SmashCut to them still in the ring come nightfall, with Cell repeatedly bedeviling Yugi with the rule book, frequently pointing out all the things that Yugi does in his show that are wrong, completely contrary to the actual game, or illegal in real life tournaments.

Eventually, after all of his favorite cards have all been shot down as illegal, Yami Yugi quits out of sheer frustration and stalks off, forfeiting the match to Cell.

!!Tropes:

* AnimeHair: The first thing Cell does when he sees Yugi is lampshade Yugi's improbable hairstyle.
-->'''Cell:''' With hair like that, I bet you've never lost a game of "Who's [[TheProtagonist the Protag]]!"
* BadassBoast: Yami Yugi explains his past as a Pharaoh and powers. Being that he's saying this to [[BloodKnight Cell]], it only piques Cell's interest in fighting.
* BotheringByTheBook: Cell frustrates Yami Yugi into doing a RageQuit simply by accurately quoting the rule book and tournament conventions to him.
* CandidCameraPrank: Cell assumes he's on one of these types of shows when Yugi clarifies that he's trying to play Cell in a card game rather than get in a fight. Cell even starts naming the hosts of several such shows, and wonders which one is filming him.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Is it possible to have a match in ''Anime/YuGiOh'', or even a parody, without Yugi calling out his famous "It's time to duel!" cathphrase? No, apparently not.
* DuelsDecideEverything: Yugi ([[WrongGenreSavvy wrongly]]) believes this to be the case, although Cell is willing to humor him. Whether Cell would have still humored him if he'd started losing their match is a whole other question.
* FlexibleTourneyRules: Defied, unlike the original ''Yu-Gi-Oh'', which often let characters pull all sorts of shenanigans with rules of the game. Cell strictly enforces both the rules and real life tournament conventions, which leaves most of Yugi's favorites plays and cards illegal.
* LargeHam: Yami Yugi's arrogance and hammy presentation are on display all throughout the short. Cell, being one of the biggest hams in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', naturally appreciates and approves of this.
-->'''Cell:''' Finally, someone who ''gets'' it!
* MythologyGag: Fans and the [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries abridged Yu-Gi-Oh series]] had often teased the original show for taking so many liberties with the card game. Cell does the same, and unlike the series, doesn't let the blatant violations or distortions of the rule slide.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: The Pharaoh starts talking about his past and his might as a card player, and Cell thinks he's talking about his physical might as a fighter, leading Cell to think he has finally found a WorthyOpponent. It takes most of the run time of the video before Cell realizes that it's all about a card game ''and'' that he's not on a prank show of some sort.
* RageQuit: Cell spends all day and night shooting down Yami Yugi's plays by being a RulesLawyer until Yugi finally leaves in disgust.
* RulesLawyer: Cell, who literally just learned of the existence of the game, becomes such a rules lawyer in the course of a single day that he is able to frustrate Yugi into forfeiting the match. He'll eventually use a little bit of this in the main series as well, when he declares Senzu Beans "tournament illegal"... but only after he has benefitted from them first.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Sort of. Yami Yugi is in control the whole time, with no signs of regular old Yugi Moto. Yami even refers to Yugi's body as though he is possessing it.
* WhamLine: An in universe one for Cell, who imagines that Yami Yugi is there for a physical fight... right up until Yami Yugi asks Cell where his deck is and how they're going to play.

-->'''Cell:''' Also it's cheating to have someone else help you during a game! Byeee!
