Recap / Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series S 2 E 6 Whos That Mokemon

Tropes

• Blatant Lies: Tristan convinces Serenity that he is the main character of the show, has more fangirls than Joey, and that said fangirls like to pair him up with Joey (though that last lie could be considered technically correct).
• Brooklyn Rage: Joey names the trope.
• Butt-Monkey: Bakura spends the next three episodes getting whacked by various objects.
  Bakura: I say, Yugi, can I be in this episode? (gets hit by holo-projector) Oh bugger!
• Card-Carrying Villain: Yami is quick to point out how inconsistent Marik's evil plans are. Marik insists that the mere fact that he is evil is all that matters.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Yugi reveals that his battle against Jaiden in the final episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (which never got an actual conclusion) was this. Apparently, Jaiden started crying so hard that the network refused to air it.
  • Retcon: the next episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Abridged Series revealed that Jaden WAS about to win, when a smell of onions got caught in his nose
• Disproportionate Retribution: Mako threatens to kill Weevil's family just for calling him a "freaky fish guy".
• Don't Explain the Joke: When Steve is watching "Eden: The Zhang Chronicles".
  Zhang: You my wang, G?
  Wang: Yes, I am Colonel Wang.
  Zhang: Can I touch you?
  Steve: (Chuckles) It is funny because "wang" means "penis"!
• Eye Catch: "WHO'S THAT MOKÉMON?" "IT'S BUNEARY!"
  Mokuba: Buneary!
• Forced Meme: Yami accuses "Brooklyn Rage" of being this and urges Joey to only use his original Catchphrase (Nyeh). This ends up being Hilarious in Hindsight after it became an accepted meme on the internet regardless.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: Yami easily defeats Steve the Rare Hunter because his status as such makes him hopelessly predictable.
• Get Out!: Some guy gets kicked out of Domino City for heckling Kaiba.
  Kaiba: For those of you who are unfamiliar with the rules of Duel Monsters, I will now explain them to you in detail. You start off by shuffling your deck-
  Heckler: BOOORING!
  Kaiba: Who said that? Who the [BLEEP] said that? I'm warning you, I'm not going to start this tournament until somebody owns up. Now who said it?
  Heckler: Sorry, that was me. My bad.
  Kaiba: Get the hell out of my city!
  Heckler: [walks away]
  Kaiba: Good. Moving right along...
• Imaginary Friend: Grandpa thinks that Yami is one. Turns out to be Hypocritical Humor considering that Grandpa himself spends time with Black Luster Soldier, whose personality actually is imaginary.
• Kill It with Fire: What Weevil plans to do with the cards of his opponents after winning the tournament. Mako promptly threatens him with Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors.
• Never Say "Die": Marik doesn't want to kill Yugi, he just wants to "destroy him a little".
• Shout-Out:
  • The episode title and a large portion of the plot is one to Pokémon.
  • Kaiba's doctor gives The Empire Strikes Back as an example of characters gaining synthetic body parts. Kaiba replies that he doesn't watch crap.
  • Yami first thinks that Marik's description of "the most feared anime organization known to man" refers to the Samurai Pizza Cats.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: Kaiba is very careful to stress that his locator card Plot Coupons is nothing like the star chip Plot Coupons from season one.
• Unexplained Recovery: Kaiba's brush with Fingore in the previous episode is easily and inexplicably fixed by a doctor.
• Unusual Euphemism: Yugi refers to Mai's boobs as "giant levitating chesticles".
