!!This RPG provides examples of the following tropes:

* AcademyOfAdventure
* AppliedPhlebotinum: Whatever [=SWORD=] and [=SHIELD=] do, they do it with heaping amounts of this.

** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries We are, how you say, kind of a bunch of dicks]].
* BrickJoke or CallBack: [[spoiler:Remember Barnaby's gun?]]

* DeadGuyJunior: River Loatheless named himself after River Finn when he realized he didn't have a name. [[TooSoon It took Cyrus a few months to be able to call him anything more than 'the kid'.]]
* ForeShadowing: Raito and Kira are mentioned a few times in the first RP.

* LetsYouAndHimFight
* PlotTumor: In the first RP, a couple things (though amazing neither vests nor Giant Germs, which were jokingly pointed out in the sign-up). In the second, the first day.
* ReligionOfEvil: The Cult in the first RP.
* RunningGag: Mostly averted. Vests, Giant Germs, and "had to eat Kuribohs to survive" were a few suggested, but none survived. (Guess they didn't eat the Kuribohs.)

** In The New Duel Academy, there is one with the grand prize of dueling Jaden... who is also acting as an eliminator for said tourney. [[UnwinnableByDesign Scott implies that he uses an unfair first-turn-kill deck]] [[ShmuckBait instead of his normal one for most students...]] though Jimbo sees his real deck's power firsthand.
* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:Kicks off just after the group arrives in Tokyo. Ryu almost dies by Michael's hand, Jerry suffers through [[FateWorseThanDeath fossilisation]] while still awake to feel it, Dreadroot's back in Barnaby's head, Giery dies in a fire (literally), the three Sacred Beasts and Exodia are on the loose. Oh, [[AndZoidberg and Tsuki's]] dead.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:Anyway, " Milton said as he stood up, brandishing Barnaby's pistol and backing up from the kids, "you can lay the Exodia pieces on the ground and back away now."]]

!This RPG provides examples of the following tropes:

* CrazyPrepared: Cyrus and River, River moreso. At one point Cyrus rattles off a few things River tracks in his spare time, and the list included clues to a PhysicalGod [[spoiler:inhabiting the body of a five-year old]], a large group of Cultists that wanted everyone dead, [[EldritchAbomination Era]][[MindRape ser]], [[TheMafia Blake and his group]], several large celestial bodies that shouldn't be there, maps of all tectonic activity in the past fifty years to prepare for a volcanic eruption, Cyrus, the fact that they [[MnogoNukes had no Russian students last year and they have nukes]], [[HeWhoFightsMonsters himself if he went too far]], America being unstable due to all their crap-ass politics about the presidential elections, maps from seven weather satellites to watch for monsoons and hurricanes, and constant sensors to detect tsunamis.

** In The New Duel Academy, there is one with the grand prize of dueling Jaden.
