Despite posing as a Shadow Duelist, Titan would also take all rare cards away from his opponents. Brier and Beauregard, challenged Obelisk Blue students in unauthorized Ante Duels before Dr. Crowler "hires" Jaden to defeat them. Later is introduced Trapper, a man who takes most valuable cards from his opponents, and later sells them for a great amount of money.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yusei Fudo chose to win back his "Stardust Dragon" from Jack Atlas via a one-way Ante Duel, even after Jack offered to just give it back. In the English dub, the final Duel of the Fortune Cup was rewritten as this - Jack would take back "Stardust" if Yusei lost.
