Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V has more than a few as part of its send-up of Yu-Gi-Oh! in general, and in fact it spreads to the entire Fusion, Synchro and Xyz dimensions.
- The City in general is one to Neo Domino City, but with the original class divide taken to extremes—they have a culture where the strong crushes the weak and anyone who loses the Friendship Cup gets sent to an underground garbage facility, and none of this is questioned by any Synchro Dimension native except Shinji, who wants to see the Tops overthrown violently.
- Duel Chaser 227 is Tetsu Ushio, a prideful Duel Chaser that loses to a Commons D-Wheeler, without any of the Character Development.
- Jean Michel Roget is Rex Godwin, but where Goodwin was an Affably Evil Well-Intentioned Extremist, Roget is a Faux Affably Evil tyrannic wannabe.
- Sergey is one to both the Dark Signers and Aporia, having an Earthbound deck like the former and being a Cyborg like the latter. While both of them were already villains, Sergey is a massive Knight of Cerebus and Combat Sadomasochist who makes them look like Disney villains by comparison.
- While Heartland City is shown to be a veritable paradise much like its original counterpart in flashbacks, by the time the story starts, it's been reduced to little more than a war-torn hellscape scarred by at least months, if not years of increasingly-brutal conflict between Academia and the Resistance with known fatalities on both sides.
- Alan Kozuki is an analogue to Anna Kozuki, with the both of them being Hot-Blooded Xyz-users with a train deck and the same surname. However, Anna was simply a Tsundere towards Yuma which caused her to act recklessly towards others, as opposed to Alan, who's a traumatised and bitter Jerk with a Heart of Gold thanks to the Academia invasion of his home dimension. He's also one to Yuma, with the both of them being young spiky-haired duelists with a Hot-Blooded streak who fight for their friends, however, Alan lacks Yuma's All-Loving Hero aspects that made him the hero of his series.
- Academia is one to Duel Academy, but they force students to attend whether they want to or not and train them to be Child Soldiers for a war with every other dimension.
- Leo Akaba is one for Samejima, the principal of Duel Academy, by virtue of taking on elements of more villainous characters like Yubel's and Professor Viper's motivations and Gozaburo's bad parenting.
- Captain Solo/Captain Cutter is one to Anacis, being a water-themed Duelist Only in It for the Money, but Solo is a pirate compared to Anacis' naval theme, isn't Affably Evil to any degree, and uses a lockdown deck.
- Noro is one to Cronos de Medici/Dr. Vellian Crowler, as the latter was merely a Stern Teacher while Noro himself is an outright Control Freak. He's less of one than the others, though, given both are Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains.
- Battle Beast is one to Taizan/Damon, who ran away to practice his drawing in the jungle and became a Wild Child as a result, while BB became a Wild Child because of Sanders' training. He also counts as one to Judai/Jaden given that both use Contact Fusion and have similar haircuts, but Judai enjoys dueling for fun while BB, like all Academia students, is out for blood whenever he duels.
