Changes
→Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
** After leaving the Facility, he is given an invitation by the Director of Security to participate in a Turbo Duel tournament, in which he will have to opportunity to Duel Jack Atlas.
* Declan insinuating an evolution in [[Pendulum Summon]] to Yuya is very likely similar to [[Bruno]] showing further evolution in [[Synchro Summon]] to Yusei. In both cases, while the protagonist attempts to learn the new evolution, they Fusion Summon for the first time using their ace monster and one of their other signature monsters of the same card type (though it was only the Monster Type that was needed) as the materials.
* Declan using the [[Maiami Arc League Championship]] for his [[Lancers Selection]] to fight his [[Leo Akaba|father]] is similar to [[Rex Goodwin]] using the [[Fortune Cup]] to assemble the [[Signer]]s to have them fight his [[Roman Goodwin|older brother]] after both were told of what was to come years before by their respective family member.
* Declan's Deck reflects Jack Atlas' as both revolve primarily around [[Fiend]] and [[Warrior]] type monsters, use multiple Extra Deck summoning methods that can lead into each other, have a "ruler" theme, use Spells and Traps to use their monsters to summon and strengthen their stronger monsters as well as circumventing card costs by using the opponent's moves to their advantage.
* The Action Field where Gong Duels in episode 39 resembles "[[Ecole de Zone]]".
** Similarly [[Yuzo Tanegashima|YuzoTrick Tagart]] hiding from Gong in the Duel is similar to how [[Sherry LeBlanc]] tried to hide while Dueling against [[Crow Hogan]] and [[Akiza Izinski]].
* Yuya and his counterparts being linked through their [[Four Dimension Dragons|ace dragon monsters]] is similar to the [[Signer]]s and their [[Signer Dragon|dragons]] in that Dueling each other causes a reaction through their connection that is strongest when their respective dragons are summoned and when they battle each other.
** Yuya's Berserk State is visually similar to the effect Yusei and Jack experienced when they first saw the [[Crimson Dragon]]. Ironically, both cases involved one member of the respective group summoning another's dragon during the duel.
* The [[Maiami Arc League Championship]] mirrors the [[World Racing Grand Prix]] in that both feature a [[Battle Royal]] across their respective cities part way through the tournament where duels are continuously joined and/or interrupted. Both Battle Royals are arranged by one of the people responsible for the tournament and do so for the sake of attempting to further their goal.
* Yuya's second Duel against Sora ended very similarly to Yusei's first Duel against [[Andre]].
** Both protagonists faced 3 high ATK monsters but were able to overpower at least one of them, and both duels ended right before the play that would determine the winner resolved due to the duel's time limit expiring.
