* DidntSeeThatComing: Crowler is an expert duelist (as one would expect from a teacher at an academy teaching Duel Monsters), but he still gets caught off-guard by Winged Kuriboh's special effect. Zane even points out that no one can be expected to know ''everything'' about the game.
Added DiffLines:
* TheoryTunnelVision: Crowler has so little expectations of Jaden's dueling skills just for ''being late'' that he mistakes Jaden for a complete amateur, which gets him blindsided several times. Jaden even has to point out that he does understand the basics of the game during his final turn.

* ChekhovsGunman: This episode introduces us to multiple characters that end up playing an important role in the series, even if it doesn't look that way at first. In particular, Zane makes his first appearance here and doesn't appear again until episode 7, where we finally learn who he is and what his connections to Alexis and Syrus are.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Crowler uses his Ancient Gear Golem's special effect to deplete Jaden's life points. Jaden wins by doing the same thing with his Elemental Hero Flamewingman.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Crowler initially refusing to give Jaden an entrance exam duel and later using his own deck against Jaden to prevent him from enrolling in Duel Academy in the Japanese version has some minor justification. Jaden ranked 101st place on the written exam. This showed that Jaden was the type of student who didn't take his schoolwork seriously and if enrolled would be placed in the red dorm and most likely quit the academy eventually.
