History YMMV / YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime

** On a Chinese forum Paradox is often referred to as BOSS. Among the Japanese he is called Para[[{{Honorifics}} -san]] or Paradox[[{{Honorifics}} -san]]/[[{{Honorifics}} -sama]]. Other people are starting to refer to him as [[AnimeHair Squidhead]].

* HarsherInHindsight: The dub of the movie is pretty hard to watch after ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' featured interdimensional wars being waged with Duel Monsters, destroying or corrupting entire worlds.

** Yami's "Synchro what?" in the dub when he witnesses Yusei Synchro Summoning, largely because [[AudienceSurrogate it speaks for every returning player that has no idea what happened to the game while they were gone.]]

* AssPull: The three protagonist draw the perfect cards in their ''first'' turn to win the duel. The worst example is that the three last cards they played are obviously designed for the final turn. Yugi and Judai have two Trap Cards with similar names and basically the same effect just to buff Yusei's Stardust Dragon. And Yusei's Trap Card ''Stardust Mirage'' allows him to [[spoiler:revive all of their monsters that are destroyed in the during turn]], but it requires Stardust Dragon on the field. However, Stardust Dragon was stolen at the beginning of the movie. There is no way that Yusei could predict to get his card back. Also, it only works because of violation of the rules[[note]]Yusei activated Stardust Dragon's effect. It should be revived on Paradox' field, but it doesn't and it shouldn't even be able to be revived in the first place, since it wasn't Synchro Summoned[[/note]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Judai could have activated his [[spoiler:Neos Spiral Force]] to buff Yugi's Dark Magician when it's attacked by Paradox's Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but doesn't.

* AssPull: Since it's ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'', of course. The three protagonist draw the perfect cards in their ''first'' turn to win the duel. The worst example is that the three last cards they played are obviously designed for the final turn. Yugi and Judai have two Trap Cards with similar names and basically the same effect just to buff Yusei's Stardust Dragon. And Yusei's Trap Card ''Stardust Mirage'' allows him to [[spoiler:revive all of their monsters that are destroyed in the during turn]], but it requires Stardust Dragon on the field.

It should be revived on Paradox' field, but it doesn't and it shouldn't even be able to be revived in the first place, since it wasn't Synchro Summoned[[/note]].
* EpilepticTrees: The movie had a good share of those until it came out. Now there are theories about how the movie is connected to 5D's and [[spoiler:the movie's loose ends, including Paradox's backstory and identity.]]

* MemeticBadass: Paradox, with all the grace and charm of Hiruma!

** Judai's [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/JuudaiV.jpg salute pose.]]
** Chest spikes. Oh boy.

** Synchro ''what''?
* NightmareFuel:
** [[spoiler:Paradox's fusion with Sin Truth Dragon. To elaborate, Paradox is clearly in pain when he pays his Life Point cost for the monster's summoning (explaining that he sacrifices his body in doing so), his eyes temporarily go blank during the fusion, and the next thing we see is a close-up of Paradox's veiny, angry face. He also makes Dark Marik-esque faces at the protagonists afterwards.]]
** Also, [[spoiler:The destroyed world.]]
* SoBadItsGood: For some people, the epic cheesiness of the dub saves the dub version from being a bad film. The sub version is also pretty silly at times.
* WhatAnIdiot: Judai could have activate his [[spoiler:Neos Spiral Force]] to buff Yugi's Dark Magician when it's attacked by Paradox's Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but doesn't.

* EarWorm: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8eek0J1B98 makemagic]], the theme song.

** Judai's salute pose.

* {{Woolseyism}}: Yugi and Yami's brief dialogue before their transformation. The original has Yami suggesting that he take over, with Yugi simply agreeing. The dub instead has Yugi stating that they'll rise to the challenge, implying that they'll be working as a team rather than him just letting the Pharaoh do all the work. We then get to see the full transformation sequence, complete with a revamped main theme and iconic cry of "YU-GI-OH!" with Yugi's voice fading into Yami's, none of which is present in the original.

* MemeticMolester[=/=]LauncherOfAThousandShips: After witnessing Judai sitting behind Yusei on his motorbike and Yusei and Judai talking about how they are similar to each other, Japan made Judai [[LauncherOfAThousandShips launch even more ships]]. Paradox is also a popular target for Judai.
