There are many occasions in which a card, in the anime, may contradict its lore in the anime. These are usually due to errors on the writers' part.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

• Spellbinding Circle - Select 1 monster. It loses 700 ATK, cannot attack or change its Battle Position, and its effect(s) is negated. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.
  • Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's anime lore being similar to the first OCG lore. This card decreases the target's ATK by 700 every time it is affected.

• Shine Palace - Activate only by sending 1 "Toon World" you control to the Graveyard. This card is treated as "Toon World" while face-up on the field, and all LIGHT monsters you control gain 500 ATK.
  • Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore was written in a way that it looked similar to the OCG lore.

• Roulette Spider - Pay half your Life Points. Spin a wheel centered around the monster with the highest ATK on the field. After it stops spinning, that monster must attack in the direction "Roulette Spider" is pointing.
  • Reason for contradiction: Joey payed Life Points to activate this card despite that the written anime lore didn't say this.

• Mystical Refpanel - Activate only by negating a card that designates 1 target. At anytime, you can send this card to the Graveyard to use the negated card from the Graveyard as you or your opponent's card.
  • Reason for contradiction: This card was saved for when Yugi needed it sometimes and this card could also affect Equip Spell Cards. Also Yugi could use "Meteor of Destruction" on either player with this card, but in the end he chose himself as he didn't want to see Joey die.

• Meteor of Destruction - You must pay 500 Life Points to activate this effect. Inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points. Then you may select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field. The selected monster attack you.
  • Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore was written in a way that it looked similar to the OCG lore.

• Dark Sanctuary - Activate only when a "Dark Necrofear" is sent to your Graveyard. The Ghost of Dark Sanctuary appears. During each of your End Phases, Tribute 1 monster or destroy this card. Your Monster Card Zones are also treated as Spell and Trap Card Zones.
  • Reason for contradiction: Yami Bakura mentioned this even though it wasn't written in the anime lore.

• Guardian Eatos - This card must first be Summoned while you control a face-up "Celestial Sword - Eatos". If you have no monsters in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card has a card equipped to it, once per turn you can send one Equip Spell Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to remove from play cards from the top of your opponent's Graveyard up until a non-Monster Card is revealed. This card gains ATK equal to the total ATK of the monsters removed by this effect, until the end of the Battle Phase.
  • Reason for contradiction: Despite what the written anime lore says, "Eatos" lost the boost it got from its effect when its attack failed to destroy "Dark Magician". Also Yami was able to bring "Eatos" back via "Monster Reborn" even though he didn't have "Celestial Sword - Eatos".

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

• Elemental HERO Flame Wingman - When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of that monster.
  • Reason for contradiction: "Flame Wingman" managed to inflict damage 2300 damage to Dimitri when it destroyed "Dark Magician Girl" when the damage should have been 2000. Also there have been many occasions where "Flame Wingman" was summoned through something besides Fusion Summon.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

• Roar of the Earthbound - Once per turn, when your opponent's monster declares an attack, if the ATK of the attacking monster is lower than that of a face-up "Earthbound Immortal" monster you control, destroy the attacking monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that monster's ATK.
  • Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore looked similar to its TCG/OCG lore, but despite this, Yusei took only 900 damage which was the half the current ATK of "Speed Warrior" at that point.

• Zushin the Sleeping Giant - This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 1 Level 1 monster that has remained face-up on your side of the field for 10 or more of your turns. If this card battles with an opponent's monster, until the end of the Damage Step, it gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster + 1000. Also if the monster that this card battles have effect(s) that affect this card, those effects are negated until the end of the Damage Step. This card cannot be targeted by the effects of your opponent's Spell/Trap Cards.
  • Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, it didn't affect the effects of "Black-Winged Dragon" and "Shooting Star Dragon". If it had affected the latter, Yusei wouldn't have been able to save his "Shooting Star Dragon" from being destroyed.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL

• Photon World - When a "Photon" monster is Normal or Special Summoned: You can inflict damage to all players that do not control a "Photon" monster equal to the Summoned monster's Level × 100.
  • Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, this card's effect did not activate when "Photon Kaiser" was summoned.

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light

• Pyramid of Light - All God Cards on the field are removed from play. If this face-up card is removed from your side of the field, destroy "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" on your side of the field and remove them from play.
  • Reason for contradiction: Despite the written anime lore, this card still retained its TCG/OCG effect in the anime as "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" were both destroyed when Yami Yugi finally destroyed this card.
