''Yu-Gi-Oh! Dissidia'' is a fanfiction written by Sanokal, which can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8413455/1/YuGiOh-Dissidia here]]. It is a crossover between the first four ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' Series in the style of ''Videogame/Dissidia Final Fantasy'', hence the title. The basic premise is that Holactie, the Creator of Light, and Zorc Necrophades have summoned three heroes and three villains from each of the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' series in order to battle for the fate of existence.
The main attraction of the series is the opportunity to both see interactions between characters from different series in both terms of duels and social interactions. The series itself maintains fairly consistent characterisation in terms of the characters and canon, taking aspects generally from the anime's English dubs, but also assuming many facts from the original Duel Monsters manga and a few [[MythologyGag Mythology Gags]].

----
!!''Yu-Gi-Oh! Dissidia'' provides examples of:
* ADayInTheLimelight: Astral has two chapters to himself; he otherwise shares his story moments with Yuma.
* AdaptationalBadass[=/=]TookALevelInBadass: Many characters in comparison to their original appearances, whether it be by skill or new cards. The only real exception is Yami Yugi. Nightshroud in particular gives Jaden a ''far'' harder time than he did previously.
* AdaptationalWimp: The villains are often defeated more easily than in their original series prior to the final duels, though at times it's implied that they lost on purpose. Yubel, Vector, and Dartz suffer the worst of this.
* BeamSpam: Reshef's MO.
* BoringYetPractical: To a degree. Many characters use these tactics in duels, and searching cards are frequently employed.
* BreatherEpisode: The second Astral chapter is easily the most lighthearted in the story, ending with a dinner held by the Madolche.
* CallingYourAttacks: As per usual for a ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' story. If a card has had an attack name (and sometimes even if it hasn't) in some language, it'll be there.
* CastHerd: Early on, most of the heroes are divided into groups for most of the fic, although these groups begin to splinter near the end.
* TheChessmaster: Z-one, with some assistance from Goodwin and Dr. Faker.
* Cliffhanger: On occasion.
** The end of the heroes' battle in the Mirror Labyrinth is the most notable example, but the earliest is when Joey takes a hit from Bakura at the end of the Chazz vs. Vector chapter.
** Yusei's final duel with Z-one has a number of characters react to the crimson wings of his Duel Runner catching their attention.
* CompositeCharacter: Deck-wise, many characters use cards that they used in other mediums:
** Nightshroud's final deck is a Red-Eyes and Darkness deck, using his Field Spell and Traps to support his Red-Eyes monsters.
** Jaden in particular uses many of his manga counterpart's cards.
** The Signers all acquire their Duel Dragons to use in combination with their other cards. Crow also uses some of the cards his ''ARC-V'' counterpart used.
** Yuma uses Numbers from the manga.
** Averted specifically with Yugi, who only uses his cards from the anime, and with Kaiba, who does not use any of the Blue-Eyes cards from ''Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions'', though he does use TCG[=/=]OCG-exclusive support.
* CoolBike: Yusei, Jack, Crow, Aporia [[spoiler:and his embodiments']] Duel Runners, Shark's motorcycle, and Orbital 7's motorcycle form. [[spoiler:Rex Goodwin also uses his old Duel Runner from the anime.]]
* CoolVsAwesome: Most, if not all of the duels qualify to a degree given the characters being pitted against one another.
** Obelisk the Tormentor alone is pitted against Reshef, [[spoiler:Quattro's Disaster Leo, and Divine Serpent]].
** The Reshef battle alone includes Abyss Splash, Black Ray Lancer, Shark Drake, Black Luster Soldier, and Magician of Black Chaos against Reshef, with Obelisk on varying sides due to Reshef's abilities.
** The Majestic Dragons vs. the Winged Dragon of Ra, and later Shooting Star Dragon vs. Ra.
** Pretty much every battle in Shark's duel with Vector.
* CosmicPlaything: Every character in the series other than Yami Bakura is this to a degree, but Jesse easily gets the worst of it.
* CreatorThumbprint: Sanokal loves using [[Creator/MontyOum Monty Oum]]-style ka fights as his own personal homage to Monty.
* CrisisCrossover: A crossover of the various anime spinoffs.
* {{Crossover}}: Obviously, though special mention goes to certain characters using cards that they used in the manga; the Signers in particular all obtain their Duel Dragons through various means.
* CuttingTheKnot:
** Joey actually attempts to physically fight Nightshroud at one point.
** When Nightshroud and Number 96 attack Jesse, Yusei, and Kite, they just completely overwhelm them rather than fight them in a ka battle.
** When Shark tries escaping from [[spoiler:Jakob]], he just fires a lightning bolt and drives away. [[spoiler:Jakob still catches up with him.]]
* DarkestHour: The events after the battle in the Mirror Labyrinth; the heroes are largely defeated, scattered, and severely mentally scarred.
* DifferentInEveryEpisode: The beginning of each chapter features a rough narration of the character's current status.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: [[spoiler:Jesse]] winds up on this during his final duel after playing [[spoiler:Advanced Dark]].
* DuelsDecideEverything: It's explained that they do since this creates an even playing field, as per the rules of the conflict. That doesn't stop several ka battles from ensuing though.
* EldritchLocation: The entire setting is technically one, but special mention goes to the Mirror Labyrinth, which plays havoc with the heroes' minds.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: All over the place.
* FriendlyRivalry: A few over the course of the series in addition to those that are carried over from the main series, though they generally take a back seat to the main fights.
* GenreSavvy: Often. Quite a few characters are well aware when their opponent will have a counterplay.
* GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere: Reshef the Dark Being shows up for a single chapter in the middle of the series with no foreshadowing whatsoever.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Frequently occurs since Sanokal tends to follow the dub in terms of theme and finds swearing in ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' to be a little odd.
* HallOfMirrors: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Mirror Labyrinth]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** Jaden ends up doing significant damage to Dartz in their duel by using Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to copy the effects of Orichalcos Shunoros.
** Vector accidentally sends Tuner monsters to Jack's Graveyard, which results in his Red Nova Dragon having more power when it's summoned. Unlike most examples, Vector realizes as soon as he does it and holds off on using the effect of Masquerade for the rest of the match, though it doesn't help him.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The Dragon Rulers show up as one-shot antagonists, and Chazz, the three Signers, Kaiba, Goodwin, Kite, and Joey all get new dragon cards.
* InvincibleHero[=/=]InvincibleVillain: Mostly averted.
* KidHero: Yuma and Shark (the latter technically averts it too). Everyone else is in their late teens.
* LampshadeHanging: Frequently.
* LoopholeAbuse: Holactie and Zorc are forbidden from interfering with the conflict too extensively, but if an outside force intrudes, it's fair game. [[spoiler:Reshef finds this out the hard way]].
* MagicPokerEquation: The series tries to avert this as best it can, but it still frequently occurs. However, examples like Shining Draw, Chaos Draw, and the Majestic Dragons are specifically absent during duels.
* MeleeATrois: In the Mirror Labyrinth battle, Jaden, Yuma, and the Bujins.
* MoodWhiplash: Frequently goes from the main heroes joking with one another to being in mortal danger.
* MythologyGag: ''Tons''. The series practically runs on them almost as much as ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV''.
** Crow calls Chazz "thunder boy", as a reference to his Japanese nickname of Manjoume Thunder.
** Reshef absorbing the Egyptian Gods is taken from its first appearance in ''Reshef of Destruction''.
** Marik uses Viser Des and Byser Shock from the manga, rather than the censored versions seen in the anime.
** During Chazz's duel with Sartorius, where he sees his cards as different members of the cast, he sees the Moon as Zuzu Boyle from ''ARC-V''.
** When Jesse activates his [[spoiler:Pendulum Cards, he places them in his outer Spell/Trap zones ala the New Master Rules]].
** Kaiba's duel with Dartz heavily foreshadows his attitude in ''Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions''.
** For the final duel locations; Chazz and Jaden go to the New Domino Duel Academy, Joey goes to the "Academy Tower" from the manga, Kaiba goes to the New Domino Kaiba Corp, Yusei to the Daedalus Bridge, Kite to the Dimensional Temple where Faker opened the door to Barian World, Jesse to the same tower from GX (located at one of the Earthbound Immortal control towers), Yusei to the Daedalus Bridge, Shark to the same coliseum from ZEXAL where he battled Vector, and Yugi to the Valley of the Kings, where the battle with Reshef took place.
** Joey and Nightshroud extract their Red-Eyes cards from stone tablets in the ruined New Domino ala the Meklord Emperors and Shooting Star Dragon from 5D's.
** Shark is chained in the Mirror Labyrinth and used for strength by Vector at one point as he was in ZEXAL.
** Kaiba brings [[spoiler:Obelisk back from the graveyard and sacrifices two monsters to activate its abilities as Yugi did in ''R'']].
** The [[spoiler:Arclight family are androids like Aporia, Paradox, and Antinomy were]].
%%** During Yugi and Bakura's Duel, [[spoiler:Slifer is once again destroyed by Diabound, who gains its effects]].
* {{Nerf}}: Most cards use their TCG[=/=]OCG effects, so this happens on occasion. The exceptions are the Egyptian Gods, the Numbers regarding their battle effects (and Utopia entirely), and [[spoiler:via LoopholeAbuse through changing the effect of Kyotara, Orichalcos Shunoros (which appears with its TCG[=/=]OCG effect earlier) and Divine Serpent]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Averted. Sanokal specifically cited that this would not happen in the series ala Shining Draw; when Yuma does use ZEXAL, [[spoiler:he uses Shining Evolution on his deck prior to the duel]]. [[spoiler:Even Jesse's Dark and Pendulum Cards were inserted into his deck prior to his duel with Yubel]].
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Yami Bakura and Nightshroud are perhaps the only villains that follow this. The others are far more complicated.
* OddFriendship: Kaiba gets on surprisingly well with the Signers, being orphans themselves, but he gets along ''enormously'' with Yuma, who has a case of DisappearedDad and is a Kaiba {{Fanboy}}.
* OnlySaneMan: Astral among his group, which includes [[HotBlooded Yuma]], [[BrooklynRage Joey]], [[LargeHam Crow]], [[DitzyGenius Jaden]], and [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Chazz]].
* OlympusMons: The Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, Dyson Sphere monsters, Rainbow Dragons, Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, Majestic Dragons, Shooting Quasar Dragon, Reshef, Holactie, and Zorc.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Jesse and Yusei both exhibit more anger than usual over the course of the fic, to the other characters' discomfort. [[spoiler:Particularly in the case of Jesse after being infected by Nightshroud's darkness]].
* OutOfFocus:
** Jesse Anderson suffered greatly from this, vanishing from the fic for ten chapters – about a year out-of-universe.
** Shark also underwent a case of this, before returning in towards the end of the fourth arc.
** Kite is another example from the beginning of the story due to being on his own and not receiving a focus chapter until the end of the first arc.
** Number 96 was a deliberate case, as Sanokal was uncertain as to whether he would be maintained in the series.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: It's ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', and Yuma continues to main this. Faker actually respects it, noting that it could be problematic for the more AffablyEvil villains.
* RealityEnsues: Very frequently.
** Joey's attempt to just punch Nightshroud in the face and Crow's challenge to do the same. Nightshroud proceeded to demonstrate that he is the progenitor of another dimension for a reason.
** Nightshroud in general tends to prove that if he wasn't bound to duel the heroes, they wouldn't stand much of a chance against him. Even the Signers' energy barriers are battered aside with ease.
** It takes Jesse a wee while to figure out how [[spoiler:his Pendulum Cards]] work, though he gets some spiritual help.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Aside from the obvious limitations of the story being a fanfiction, certain duels have been delayed and certain cards and characters have appeared in certain ways due to their real-life release patterns.
** A specific example were the New Master Rules, [[spoiler:which gave Sanokal a convenient location to have Jesse activate his Pendulum Cards...]]
* RuleOfCool: This is employed at times for the sake of certain monster matchups.
* {{Sadist}}: Vector, Yami Bakura and Yami Marik are exhibit A.
* SeriousBusiness: Dueling, as per usual. This is discussed quite deeply on occasion by Goodwin and Aporia.
* SceneryGorn: The setting of the conflict is a jumbled-up mess of settings from other dimensions, including the temple that Faker betrayed Vetrix in, [[spoiler:the ruins of the BadFuture of New Domino City, and the village of Kul Elna.]]
* SharpDressedMan: Goodwin.
* ShoutOut:
** The ''ka'' battles often have Creator/MontyOum or ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' style fight scenes.
** Nightshroud assaults the Signers' energy barriers with darkness in a similar manner to the clash between Gandalf and [[spoiler:Sauron]] in ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug''.
** Nightshroud and Number 96's attack on Yusei, Kite, and Jesse is written to come out of nowhere in a similar manner to [[spoiler:[[Literature/AStormOfSwords the Red Wedding]]]].
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Zigzagged. Many characters that are guilty of this like Crow are downplayed. However, due to a larger group than most being in the story and the main plot being overseen by certain villains, some characters get more screentime than others.
* TakeThat: Sometimes, though it's generally subtle and rarely extensive.
** Yuma gets a bit of flack thrown at him, but this is true of the canon as well. A straighter example is the conspicuous absence of Shining Draw, as it's a ScrappyMechanic among the fandom.
** Sanokal admitted to accidentally throwing a bit of this Yubel's way; in comparison to her more successful record in the anime, she's severely more broken here as a result of being separated from Jaden again and is constantly defeated[[note]]admittedly, one of her opponents here was Yami Yugi[[/note]]. He's stated that he'll rectify this in the ''ARC-V'' rewrite.
** Zigzagged with Vector; who appears and loses several times purely because Sanokal enjoys the character, though he drew from Vector's ''brutal'' defeat scene against Yuma quite a few times for his defeat scenes.
* TheCameo: During Chazz's duel with Sartorius, the Shadow Game causes him to see the Arcana Force monsters as characters that they represent. Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon has [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV Zuzu Boyle]] appear.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: The characters from the newer series often geek out at many from the older series. Yusei is the subject of a surprising example of this; both Faker and [[spoiler:the Arclights]] are appreciative of him stabilizing Ener-D with Fortune as it allowed them to conduct more research than had been accomplished in the past.
* TheReveal:
** The conflict is actually a Shadow Game to decide the outcome of [[spoiler:the battle between Holactie and Zorc during the Millennium World arc]].
** [[spoiler:Number 96 is actually Don Thousand]].
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Frequently when a character is about to lose or get hit with a particularly damaging attack.
* TrueCompanions: With the exception of Kaiba and possibly Kite, the heroes are all extremely good friends.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: It's the first four ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' series' main heroes and villains all fighting on the sides of Horahkty and Zorc, the two most powerful figures in the original series.
* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Including Jesse as one of the main heroes, rather than Zane, Aster, or Syrus. Chazz may also count for some.
** Dark Necrofear as Bakura's base ace.
** Number 96 being one of the main villains, rather than Don Thousand or Vetrix. [[spoiler:Though as it turns out he was Don Thousand the whole time, and the Arclights later appeared as androids]].
** Reshef the Dark Being is an in-universe example...and he pays dearly for it.
** Many of the new monsters also counted before people wised up to the trend. [[spoiler:Jesse's Pendulum Cards are a particular example]].
%%** For ''The Lost Files'', Yuga Senku from ''Fanfic/YuGiOhXross'', who counts as another in-universe example.
* WhamEpisode: Crow vs. Primo reveals the dimension's origins.
**The aftermath of Yuma vs. Vetrix reveals the truth of the conflict.
**Yuma vs Number 96, where it is revealed that [[spoiler:Number 96 has been Don Thousand in disguise the entire time]].
**Yusei vs Z-one, where [[spoiler:Z-one reveals that he has been working to ensure victory for Holactie, as have several other villains]].
* WorldOfBadass: Everyone is a skilled duelist, even [[ButtMonkey Yuma]].
* WorldOfHam: To a degree.
* WorldOfSnark: There is a lot of snark being thrown around, given that it's largely based on the dub.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Chazz's main character arc, which he agonizes over despite several assurances that he's a WorthyOpponent.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Yami Bakura and Nightshroud are perhaps the only villains that follow this. The others are far more complicated.
* OddFriendship: Kaiba gets on surprisingly well with the Signers, being orphans themselves, but he gets along ''enormously'' with Yuma, who has a case of DisappearedDad and is a Kaiba {{Fanboy}}.
* OnlySaneMan: Astral among his group, which includes [[HotBlooded Yuma]], [[BrooklynRage Joey]], [[LargeHam Crow]], [[DitzyGenius Jaden]], and [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Chazz]].
* OlympusMons: The Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, Dyson Sphere monsters, Rainbow Dragons, Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, Majestic Dragons, Shooting Quasar Dragon, Reshef, Holactie, and Zorc.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Jesse and Yusei both exhibit more anger than usual over the course of the fic, to the other characters' discomfort. [[spoiler:Particularly in the case of Jesse after being infected by Nightshroud's darkness]].
* OutOfFocus:
** Jesse Anderson suffered greatly from this, vanishing from the fic for ten chapters – about a year out-of-universe.
** Shark also underwent a case of this, before returning in towards the end of the fourth arc.
** Kite is another example from the beginning of the story due to being on his own and not receiving a focus chapter until the end of the first arc.
** Number 96 was a deliberate case, as Sanokal was uncertain as to whether he would be maintained in the series.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: It's ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', and Yuma continues to main this. Faker actually respects it, noting that it could be problematic for the more AffablyEvil villains.
* RealityEnsues: Very frequently.
** Joey's attempt to just punch Nightshroud in the face and Crow's challenge to do the same. Nightshroud proceeded to demonstrate that he is the progenitor of another dimension for a reason.
** Nightshroud in general tends to prove that if he wasn't bound to duel the heroes, they wouldn't stand much of a chance against him. Even the Signers' energy barriers are battered aside with ease.
** It takes Jesse a wee while to figure out how [[spoiler:his Pendulum Cards]] work, though he gets some spiritual help.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Aside from the obvious limitations of the story being a fanfiction, certain duels have been delayed and certain cards and characters have appeared in certain ways due to their real-life release patterns.
** A specific example were the New Master Rules, [[spoiler:which gave Sanokal a convenient location to have Jesse activate his Pendulum Cards...]]
* RuleOfCool: This is employed at times for the sake of certain monster matchups.
* {{Sadist}}: Vector, Yami Bakura and Yami Marik are exhibit A.
* SeriousBusiness: Dueling, as per usual. This is discussed quite deeply on occasion by Goodwin and Aporia.
* SceneryGorn: The setting of the conflict is a jumbled-up mess of settings from other dimensions, including the temple that Faker betrayed Vetrix in, [[spoiler:the ruins of the BadFuture of New Domino City, and the village of Kul Elna.]]
* SharpDressedMan: Goodwin.
* ShoutOut:
** The ''ka'' battles often have Creator/MontyOum or ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' style fight scenes.
** Nightshroud assaults the Signers' energy barriers with darkness in a similar manner to the clash between Gandalf and [[spoiler:Sauron]] in ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug''.
** Nightshroud and Number 96's attack on Yusei, Kite, and Jesse is written to come out of nowhere in a similar manner to [[spoiler:[[Literature/AStormOfSwords the Red Wedding]]]].
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Zigzagged. Many characters that are guilty of this like Crow are downplayed. However, due to a larger group than most being in the story and the main plot being overseen by certain villains, some characters get more screentime than others.
* TakeThat: Sometimes, though it's generally subtle and rarely extensive.
** Yuma gets a bit of flack thrown at him, but this is true of the canon as well. A straighter example is the conspicuous absence of Shining Draw, as it's a ScrappyMechanic among the fandom.
** Sanokal admitted to accidentally throwing a bit of this Yubel's way; in comparison to her more successful record in the anime, she's severely more broken here as a result of being separated from Jaden again and is constantly defeated[[note]]admittedly, one of her opponents here was Yami Yugi[[/note]]. He's stated that he'll rectify this in the ''ARC-V'' rewrite.
** Zigzagged with Vector; who appears and loses several times purely because Sanokal enjoys the character, though he drew from Vector's ''brutal'' defeat scene against Yuma quite a few times for his defeat scenes.
* TheCameo: During Chazz's duel with Sartorius, the Shadow Game causes him to see the Arcana Force monsters as characters that they represent. Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon has [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV Zuzu Boyle]] appear.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: The characters from the newer series often geek out at many from the older series. Yusei is the subject of a surprising example of this; both Faker and [[spoiler:the Arclights]] are appreciative of him stabilizing Ener-D with Fortune as it allowed them to conduct more research than had been accomplished in the past.
* TheReveal:
** The conflict is actually a Shadow Game to decide the outcome of [[spoiler:the battle between Holactie and Zorc during the Millennium World arc]].
** [[spoiler:Number 96 is actually Don Thousand]].
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Frequently when a character is about to lose or get hit with a particularly damaging attack.
* TrueCompanions: With the exception of Kaiba and possibly Kite, the heroes are all extremely good friends.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: It's the first four ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' series' main heroes and villains all fighting on the sides of Horahkty and Zorc, the two most powerful figures in the original series.
* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Including Jesse as one of the main heroes, rather than Zane, Aster, or Syrus. Chazz may also count for some.
** Dark Necrofear as Bakura's base ace.
** Number 96 being one of the main villains, rather than Don Thousand or Vetrix. [[spoiler:Though as it turns out he was Don Thousand the whole time, and the Arclights later appeared as androids]].
** Reshef the Dark Being is an in-universe example...and he pays dearly for it.
** Many of the new monsters also counted before people wised up to the trend. [[spoiler:Jesse's Pendulum Cards are a particular example]].
%%** For ''The Lost Files'', Yuga Senku from ''Fanfic/YuGiOhXross'', who counts as another in-universe example.
* WhamEpisode: Crow vs. Primo reveals the dimension's origins.
**The aftermath of Yuma vs. Vetrix reveals the truth of the conflict.
**Yuma vs Number 96, where it is revealed that [[spoiler:Number 96 has been Don Thousand in disguise the entire time]].
**Yusei vs Z-one, where [[spoiler:Z-one reveals that he has been working to ensure victory for Holactie, as have several other villains]].
* WorldOfBadass: Everyone is a skilled duelist, even [[ButtMonkey Yuma]].
* WorldOfHam: To a degree.
* WorldOfSnark: There is a lot of snark being thrown around, given that it's largely based on the dub.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Chazz's main character arc, which he agonizes over despite several assurances that he's a WorthyOpponent.
