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.

* [[Swords of Revealing Light]] (Episodes 1, 14, and 15 only)- Flip all monsters your opponent controls face-up. This card remains on the field for 3 of your opponent's turns. While this card is face-up on the field, monsters your opponent controls cannot declare an attack. Monsters summoned after this card's activation are excluded from this effect.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: When Kaiba summoned "[[Judge Man]]" in episode 1, it was not affected by this card's effect. The same case applied to [[PaniK]] summoned "[[Metal Guardian]]" in episode 15. All episodes after that used the TCG/OCG effect.

* [[Insect Armor with Laser Cannon]] - [[Equip]] only to an [[Insect]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monster]]. It gains 1500 [[ATK]].

* [[Koumori Dragon]] - 1700 ATK
 +
** Reason for contradiction: When this card is shown in card form, it correctly shows its ATK at 1500, but every time this card battles a monster, the damage is calculated as if this card has 1700 ATK.
  
* [[Dragon Capture Jar]] - During your [[Main Phase]], you can [[activate]] this card from your [[hand]]. After activation, you can [[Special Summon]] this card as an [[Effect Monster]] (100 [[ATK]]/200 [[DEF]]). While this card is [[face-up]] on the [[Playing Field|field]], all [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monster]]s disappear. This card gains the [[total DEF]] of all monsters that disappeared by this [[Card effect|card's effect]] while it is treated as an Effect Monster.
+
* [[Pumpking the King of Ghosts]] - 1500 ATK
 +
** Reason for contradiction: When this card is shown in card form, it correctly shows its ATK at 1800, but when it was summoned, its ATK was 1500 and the Field Power Bonus and the Battle Damage that [[Bonz]] later receives are based on this.
 +
 
 +
* [[Kunai with Chain]] - (Season 1 and 2 of DM only)
 +
Activate 1 or both of these effects (simultaneously).
 +
● When an opponent's monster declares an attack: you may negate the attack, and if you do, you may increase the ATK of the attack target by 500 until the End Phase.
 +
● Target 1 face-up monster you control; equip this card to that target. It gains 500 ATK.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: This card's effect was written in the style of its OCG lore and both "Celtic Guardian" and "Axe Raider" were affected by this card's effect during Yami Yugi and Joey's Duel against Para and Dox (only "Celtic Guardian" lost the boost which occurred after it destroyed "Wall Shadow").

While this card is [[face-up]] on the [[Playing Field|field]], all [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] disappear. This card gains the [[total DEF]] of all monsters that disappeared by this [[Card effect|card's effect]] while it is treated as an Effect Monster.
 
** Reason for contradiction: Pegasus was able to play this card from his hand as a monster even though it's a Trap in both versions of the anime. These effects were also used in the anime in Pegasus' Duel with Yugi and Kaiba.

** Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's anime lore being similar to this card's first OCG lore, this card decreases the target's ATK by 700 every time it is affected.

* [[Shine Palace]] - [[Activate]] only by [[send]]ing 1 "[[Toon World]]" you [[control]] to the [[Graveyard]]. This card is treated as "Toon World" while [[face-up]] on the [[Playing field|field]], and all [[LIGHT]] [[Monster Card|monster]]s you control gain 500 [[ATK]].

 +
* [[Mirror Wall]] (episodes 29 and 30 only) - When your opponent declares an attack, "Mirror Wall" negates the attack and halves the ATK of the opponent's monster.
 +
** The attacks made by "[[Gaia The Fierce Knight]]", "[[Summoned Skull]]", and "[[Dark Magician]]" against "[[Harpie Lady]]" were negated by this card despite that neither the anime nor the real card can do that.
 +
 +
* [[Shadow of Eyes]] - Whoever this Spell is equipped to can use pheromones to tempt their enemies, forcing them into Attack Position and force them to attack.
 +
** This card made "Dark Magician" attack "Harpie Lady" despite that it was Mai's turn at the timing.
 +
 +
* [[Time Machine]] - When a [[Monster Card|monster]] is [[sent]] to the [[Graveyard]] as a [[Destroyed by battle|result of battle]], reduce the Battle Damage to 0 an [[return]] that monster to the [[field]] in the same position it was in when destroyed (This is not treated as a [[Summon]].) with all card effects on it from the start of the turn.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: Neither Joey nor Keith took any damage when this card was activated. Also when "[[Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon]]" was returned to the field, it retained the boost it got from "[[Dragon Nails]]".
 +
 +
* [[Magical Neutralizing Force Field|Magical Neutralizing Force]]" - Continuous Magic and Trap Cards used by your opponent lose effect where this card is placed.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore implies that all Magic Cards loses their effects where this card is placed, but it should only be the opponent's as this card destroyed only "[[Magical Hats (anime)|Magical Hats]]" when Pegasus used it. In the case where Yugi used it, this card destroyed "[[Toon World]]" and "[[Gorgon's Eye]]" (this was off-screen, but that action prevents Yami Yugi from losing each time "[[Relinquished]]" destroyed a Defense Position monster in battle).
 +
 +
* [[Living Arrow (anime)|Living Arrow]] - The effect of a Spell owned by you or your opponent is given to an opponent's card(s) of your choice.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore states it only affects the controller's Spell Cards and it only targets one opposing monster on the field. While this would work in this card's Duel debut, it would not in its other major duels as Yugi uses this card against Spell Cards controlled by his opponents (Pegasus' "[[Magical Neutralizing Force Field]]" and [[Keith Howard]]'s "[[Tribute to The Doomed]]") and in the case with Pegasus it targeted "[[Toon World]]" (a [[Continuous Spell Card]]).
  
 
* [[Magic Jammer]] - Discard 1 card. Negate all Lingering Spell Card Effects and destroy all Spell Cards on the field.
 
* [[Magic Jammer]] - Discard 1 card. Negate all Lingering Spell Card Effects and destroy all Spell Cards on the field.
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore was written in a way that it looked similar to the OCG lore. The anime effect of "Magical Hats" was a Normal Spell Card with a Lingering effect that lasts until all the hats are destroyed and Keith activated this card on his Draw Phase instead of when "Magical Hats" was activated.

 +
 +
* [[Scapegoat]] - Special Summon up to 4 "Sheep Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon.
 +
** Both the real card and the anime version of this card forbid the player from summoning other monsters the turn they activate this card (but a Normal Set can still be done), however Joey activates this card during the turn he Normal Summoned "[[Baby Dragon]]" during his Duel against [[Espa Roba]]. Additionally, this card requires the player to have four unoccupied [[Monster Card Zone]]s, but during Joey's Duel against [[Odion]], he activated this card while he only had three unoccupied Monster Card Zones.
  
 
* [[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.

 +
 +
* [[Graceful Dice]]  (Episodes 64 onward)- Roll a six-sided die and select 1 monster with 500 or less ATK. Multiply its ATK by the number rolled until the End Phase.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: In this card's debut duel, the effect didn't expire during the End Phase. In later duels, this card's effect does expire on the End Phase.
  
 
* [[Alligator's Sword Dragon]] - This card can attack your opponent directly if the only monsters they control are set monsters, EARTH monsters, WATER monsters, or FIRE monsters.

** Reason for contradiction: Although this card's written anime lore is the same as the OCG lore, Joey was still able to use this card's effect even though Mako's monsters were set.

* [[Mystical Refpanel]] - [[Activate]] only when your opponent activates a Spell Card. You may negate the effect of that card. At anytime, you can select and activate one of the following effects.<br />● Change the target of the Spell Card to another appropriate target. If the Spell Card was an Equip Spell Card, destroy it on the End Phase.<br />● Use the negated card from the Graveyard as you or your opponent's card.
+
* [[Mask of Restrict]] - Your opponent cannot Tribute any monsters they control for a [[Tribute Summon]].
** Reason for contradiction: This card was saved for when Yugi needed it sometimes and this card could also affect [[Equip Spell Card]]s. 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. Also "Mask of Brutality" was gone after "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" destroyed "Rogue Doll".
+
** Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore was written in a way that it looked similar to the OCG lore. In the anime, Yami Yugi was able to summon "[[Valkyrion the Magna Warrior]]" while this card was present and later Kaiba uses "[[Cross Sacrifice]]" to Tribute the [[Magnet Warrior]]s while they were on [[Umbra]]'s side of the field in order to Tribute Summon "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]".
 +
 
 +
* [[Mask of Weakness]] - This card can only be activated in the Battle Phase. Select 1 battling monster and decrease the selected monster's ATK by 700 points during the turn this card is activated.
 +
** Reason for contradiction:This's written anime lore states it targets the attacking monster yet Lumis was able to use this card on "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" when it was attacked by "[[Rogue Doll]]".
 +
 
 +
* [[Mystical Refpanel]] - [[Activate]] only when your opponent activates a Spell Card. You may negate the effect of that card. At anytime, you can select and activate one of the following effects.
 +
● Change the target of the Spell Card to another appropriate target. If the Spell Card was an Equip Spell Card, destroy it on the End Phase.
 +
● Use the negated card from the Graveyard as your card or your opponent's card.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 078|episode 78]], Yugi had the choice of using "[[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. Also "Mask of Brutality" was gone after "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" destroyed "Rogue Doll".
  
 
* [[Meteor of Destruction]] - You must pay 500 [[Life Points]] to activate this [[Card effect|effect]]. Inflict 1000 points of [[Effect damage|damage]] to your opponent's [[Life Points]]. Then you may select 1 [[Monster Card|monster]] on your opponent's side of the [[Playing Field|field]]. The selected [[Monster Card|monster]] [[attack]] you.

* [[Dark Sanctuary]] - [[Activate]] only when a "[[Dark Necrofear]]" is [[sent]] to your [[Graveyard]]. The [[Ghost of Dark Sanctuary]] appears. During each of your [[Main Phase]]s, [[Tribute]] 1 [[Monster Card|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. Also after Yami Bakura Tributed "[[Jowgen the Spiritualist]]", he set "[[Dark Spirit of the Silent]]" which he couldn't have done on the End Phase.

 +
 +
* [[Amazon Archers (anime)|Amazoness Archers]] - Activate only when your opponent declares an attack while you control an "Amazoness" monster or "[[The Unfriendly Amazon (anime)|The Unfriendly Amazon]]". All monsters your opponent controls are changed to face-up Attack Position (Flip Effects are not activated), and lose 500 ATK as long as they remain face-up on the field. Your opponent must attack with all of their monsters.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: Mai activated this card while she had "[[The Unfriendly Amazon]]" on the field, which could not have been done since that monster isn't valid card for this card's requirements
  
 
* [[Cold Wave]] - This card can only be activated during your [[Main Phase 1]]. Until your next turn, you and your opponent cannot play or [[Set]] any [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards]].
 
* [[Cold Wave]] - This card can only be activated during your [[Main Phase 1]]. Until your next turn, you and your opponent cannot play or [[Set]] any [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: When Crump played the card, he played it after summoning "[[Giant Red Seasnake]]", but in the real game that would be impossible because this card can only be activated at the start of the controller's Main Phase 1 and nowhere else.

 +
 +
* [[Soul Demolition]] - You can only activate this card's effect when you have a Fiend-Type monster on your side of the field. Both players, during their respective turns, can pay 500 Life Points for each card selected and remove it from play.
 +
** Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore is the same as its OCG lore (at the time), which would not have helped Seto conduct his winning move as he had three monsters in his Graveyard at the time in contrast to [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] who had five monsters in his Graveyard.
  
 
* [[Cyber Jar]] - FLIP: Destroy all monsters on the field, then both players reveal the top 5 cards from their Decks, then Special Summon all revealed Level 4 or lower monsters in, face-up Attack Position, face-up Defense Position, or face-down Defense Position, also add any remaining cards to their hand. (If either player has less than 5 cards in their Deck, reveal as many as possible.)

(If either player has less than 5 cards in their Deck, reveal as many as possible.)
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card's effect was the same as the real card in the first two Duels it was used in. However in Kaiba's Duel with Leichter and Yami Yugi's Duel with Noah, the Defense Position monsters summoned by this card's effect were face-up instead of face-down.

* [[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]] - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". This card cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. This card can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon Monster. If they do control one, this card must target a Toon Monster for its attacks.
+
* [[De-Fusion]] - Return 1 Fusion Monster on the field to the [[Extra Deck|Fusion Deck]]. In addition, if all the [[Fusion Material Monster]]s are in the [[owner]]'s Graveyard, [[Special Summon]] them all to the Fusion Monster's [[controller]]'s side of the field.
** Reason for contradiction: [[Alister]] (who was disguised as Pegasus at the timing) summoned this card via "[[Toon Mask]]" which should have been impossible as he didn't Special Summon this card from his hand by Tributing two monsters.
+
** Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore, states that it will split a Fusion Monster and negate an attack. However in Yami Yugi's Duel against [[Noah Kaiba]], this card was used with its real game effect due to Yami Yugi using it during his own turn in order to help him win the Duel.
  
* [[Guardian Eatos]] - This card must first be [[Summon]]ed while you [[control]] a [[face-up]] "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]". If you have no [[Monster Card|monsters]] in your [[Graveyard]], you can [[Special Summon]] this card from your [[hand]]. If this card has a card [[equip]]ped to it, once per turn you can send one Equip Spell Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to [[banish|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 [[Card effect|effect]], until the end of the [[Battle Phase]].  
+
* [[XYZ-Dragon Cannon]] - ''[[Battle City]]'' arc only. This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by sending the above cards you control to the Graveyard. (You do not use "Polymerization".) This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. You can discard 1 card to destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
** 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]]".
+
** Reason for contradiction: When Yugi activates "[[Necromancy]]" in episode 131, "[[X-Head Cannon]]" was revived despite that it wouldn't have been there due to the Fusion Material Monsters of "XYZ Dragon Cannon" being banished.
  
* [[Golden Castle of Stromberg]] - During each of your [[Standby Phase]]s, [[send]] half the cards in your [[Main Deck|Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]]. If you cannot, [[destroy]] this card.<br />● Once per [[turn]], during your [[Main Phase 1]], [[Special Summon]] 1 [[random]] [[Level]] 4 or lower [[Monster Card|monster]] from your hand or Deck in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]].<br />● You cannot [[Normal Summon]] monsters.<br />● All monsters Special Summoned by this card's [[Card effect|effect]] and all monsters your opponent [[control]]s must attack, if able.<br />● When an opponent's monster [[declare]]s an [[attack]], destroy that monster, and inflict [[Effect damage|damage]] to your opponent equal to half of that monster's [[ATK]].<br />● This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of other [[Spell Card|Spell]]s, [[Trap Card|Trap]]s, or [[Effect Monster]]s.<br />● Your opponent must [[pay]] this card's [[maintenance cost]].
+
* [[Dark Paladin]] - ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 134|episode 134]]'' only. This card cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed except by [[Fusion Summon]]. This card gains 500 [[ATK]] for each [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monster]] on the [[Playing field|field]].
** Reason for contradiction: Despite what the written anime lore says, Leon was able to summon "[[Forest Wolf]]" from his hand which should have been impossible as Leon can only summon monsters from his Deck.
+
** Reason for contradiction: In this card's anime debut, it only gained ATK from the Dragons on the field.
  
* [[Soul Shield]] - [[Activate]] only by [[pay]]ing half your [[Life Points]] when a [[Monster Card|monster]] you control would be [[destroyed by battle]]. It is not destroyed by this battle and you take no [[Battle Damage]] from this battle. At the end of the [[Damage Step]], end the [[Battle Phase]].
+
* [[Ragnarok]] - [[Activate]] only while there are any 2 of [[Dark Sage (anime)|Dark Sage]], [[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]], [[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]], or [[Magician of Black Chaos (anime)|Magician of Black Chaos]] on the [[field]]. [[Banish|Remove from play]] all [[Monster Card|monsters]] from your [[hand]], [[Main Deck|Deck]] and [[Graveyard]]. [[Banish|Remove from play]] all monsters on your opponent's side of the field.
** Reason for contradiction: Yugi was able to use this card to prevent "[[Dark Magician]]" from destroying "[[Blockman]]" and inflicting piercing damage despite what the written anime lore says.
+
** Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's Japanese lore (which says it destroys all monsters on the opponent's side of the field), this card removes the opponent's monsters from play instead of destroying them.

* [[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]] - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". This card cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. This card can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon Monster. If they do control one, this card must target a Toon Monster for its attacks.
* [[Terrorking Archfiend]] - This card cannot be [[Normal Summon]]ed or [[Flip Summon]]ed unless you have an [[Archfiend]] [[Monster Card]] on your side of the [[Playing Field|field]]. The [[controller]] of this card [[pay]]s 800 [[Life Points]] during each of his/her [[Standby Phase]]s (this is not optional). When the [[Card effect|effect]] of a card [[control]]led by your opponent is [[activate]]d that would destroy or switch control of one Monster card on your side of the field, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 2 or 5, [[negate]] the effect and destroy the opponent's card. The effects of an [[Effect Monster]] that this card destroyed as a [[Destroyed by battle|result of battle]] are negated.
+
** Reason for contradiction: [[Alister]] (who was disguised as Pegasus at the timing) summoned this card via "[[Toon Mask]]" which should have been impossible as he didn't Special Summon this card from his hand by Tributing two monsters.
** Reason for contradiction: This card's effect in the anime was able to respond to "[[Mirror Gate]]" which doesn't target monsters.
 
  
* [[Elemental HERO Flame Wingman]] - When this card [[destroy]]s a [[Monster Card|monster]] [[Destroyed by battle|by battle]] and sends it to the [[Graveyard]], [[inflict]] [[Effect damage|damage]] to your opponent equal to the [[ATK]] of that monster.
+
* [[Rope of Life]] - When a monster(s) is destroyed (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Discard your entire hand (min.1), then target 1 of those monsters; Special Summon it, and if you do, it gains 800 ATK.
** 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.
+
** Reason for contradiction: Rebecca was able to activate this card when "[[Luster Dragon 2|Luster Dragon #2]]" was destroyed by the effect of "[[Double Cloth Armor]]" even though it wasn't destroyed in battle.
  
* [[Ancient Gear Castle]] - [[Face-up]] "[[Ancient Gear]]" [[Monster Card|monsters]] gain 300 [[ATK]]. Each time you [[Normal Summon]] or [[Set]] a monster(s), put 1 [[counter]] on this card. If you [[Tribute Summon]] an "Ancient Gear" monster, you can substitute this card for a [[Tribute]](s), if the number of counters is equal to or greater than the number of required Tribute(s).
+
* [[Adamantine Sword Revival]] - Activate only when a Dragon-Type monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Tribute it to Special Summon 1 "Diamond Head Dragon" from your Deck in face-up Attack Position, under the control of the controller of the Special Summoned Dragon-Type monster. The Special Summoned monster can't attack the turn it's summoned.
** Reason for contradiction: This card's effect didn't activate when Camula Normal Summoned a monster when this card was used for the Duel between Crowler and Camula.
+
** Reason for contradiction: The last effect of this card was never stated in the lore, yet "Diamond Head Dragon" wasn't allowed to attack in the second to last turn and the effect was mentioned by Duke and Rebecca, which prevented Valon from losing on that turn.
  
* [[One Hundred Thousand Gauss]] - [[Activate]] only while you [[control]] a [[face-up]] [[Plus monster]] and a [[Minus monster]]. Select one face-up monster your opponent controls It loses 800 [[ATK]] (If that face-up monster is in [[Defense Position]], change it to [[Attack Position]]).
+
* [[Roll of Fate]] - Roll a six-sided die. Draw cards equal to the result, then send an equal number of cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard.
** Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore would make this card impossible to activate in the Duel that it was used in as "[[Amazoness Paladin]]" was in Attack Position when this card was activated.
+
** Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore states that the top cards removed from the top of the controller's Deck are banished, but when this card is used, the removed cards are sent to the Graveyard, not banished.
  
* [[Second Coin Toss]] - When a coin toss is performed, you can choose to redo the coin toss. (If the toss involved multiple coin flips, just redo the coin toss you are currently doing.) You can only use the effect of "Second Coin Toss" once per turn.
+
* [[Guardian Eatos]] - This card must first be [[Summon]]ed while you [[control]] a [[face-up]] "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]". If you have no [[Monster Card|monsters]] in your [[Graveyard]], you can [[Special Summon]] this card from your [[hand]]. If this card has a card [[equip]]ped to it, once per turn you can send one Equip Spell Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to [[Banish|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 [[Card effect|effect]], until the end of the [[Battle Phase]].
** Reason for contradiction: When Pierre used this card's effect to insure that he gets three Heads on the effect of "[[Sand Gambler]]", he only redid the second coin toss instead of starting over at the beginning.
+
** Reason for contradiction: Despite the written anime lore, "Eatos" lost the boost it got from its effect when its attack failed to destroy "[[Dark Magician]]". Also Yami Yugi was able to bring "Eatos" back via "[[Monster Reborn]]" even though he didn't have "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]".
  
* [[Destiny HERO - Dreadmaster]] - ([[Society of Light (arc)|Society of Light]] only) If this card was [[Summon]]ed, [[destroy]] all [[Monster Card|monster]]s you [[control]] (except for "[[Destiny HERO|Destiny Hero]]" monsters), then you can [[Special Summon]] up to 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters from your [[Graveyard]] in [[Attack Position]]. During the [[turn]] this card is Special Summoned via "[[Clock Tower Prison]]", "Destiny Hero" monsters you control cannot be [[destroy]]ed, and you take no [[Battle Damage]] when they [[battle]]. The [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] of this card are equal to the [[total ATK]] of all other "Destiny Hero" monsters you control.
+
* [[Skull Dice]] - When an opponent's monster battles, roll a six-sided die. That monster's ATK is divided by the number rolled.
** Reason for contradiction: Even though this card was Special Summoned via "[[The Shallow Grave]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab]]" was still able to destroy "[[Destiny HERO - Captain Tenacious]]" in battle.
+
** Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore states it can only be activated when an opponent's monster attacks, but in the duel between Joey and [[Solomon Muto]], Joey was able to activate this card when "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]" attacked "[[Wandering Mummy]]".
  
* [[Counterattack!]] - Activate only during either player's Battle Phase. Once during this turn, if a monster attacks one of your monsters, the monster that was attacked must attack this turn, ignoring replays or conditions.
+
* [[Mischief of the Time Goddess]] - [[Quick-Play Spell Card]]
** Reason for contradiction: This card was activated on Syrus' Battle Phase and it was established that Syrus and Hassleberry can't attack their own monsters hence "[[Training Field]]" being activated. Also "Element Saurus" had to have attacked, otherwise "Training Field" wouldn't have boosted its ATK.
+
** Reason for contradiction: Zigfried played this card as a Quick-Play Spell Card even though it's a [[Normal Spell Card]].
  
* [[God of Darkness - Dark God|Dark Creator]] - This card cannot be [[destroyed by battle]] or declare a [[direct attack]]. If this card [[destroy]]s an opponent's [[Monster Card|monster]] by battle(except "Dark Creator"), inflict 700 [[Effect damage|damage]] to your opponent.
+
* [[Valkyrie Erste]] - Once per turn, if a monster your opponent controls is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can remove from play that monster from your opponent's Graveyard. This turn, this card's original ATK becomes equal to the ATK of the removed monster while it was on the field.
** Reason for contradiction: Since the Dark Creator Tokens had the same effects of "Dark Creator", the effect of the "Dark Creator Token" Jaden used to destroy "Dark Creator" once and for all should have activated when "Dark Creator" was destroyed in battle, but it did not do so.
+
** Reason for contradiction: In this card's debut episode, one copy gained the original ATK of "[[Insect Queen]]", but it seems to have gained the ATK "Insect Queen" had when it was on the field (which was 2400), otherwise [[Zigfried von Schroeder]] wouldn't have been able to conduct his [[OTK]] to both [[Rex Raptor]] and [[Weevil Underwood]].
  
* [[Stray Lambs]] - (Season 2 only) [[Special Summon]] 2 "[[Lamb Token]]s" ([[Beast]]-[[Type]]/[[EARTH]]/[[Level]] 1/[[ATK]] 0/[[DEF]] 0) in [[Defense Position]].
+
* [[Golden Castle of Stromberg]] - During each of your [[Standby Phase]]s, [[send]] half the cards in your [[Main Deck|Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]]. If you cannot, [[destroy]] this card.
** Reason for contradiction: Although this card was written with its TCG/OCG lore, Chazz was still able to activate "[[Ojamandala]]" to revive the [[Ojama]] siblings.
+
● Once per [[turn]], during your [[Main Phase 1]], [[Special Summon]] 1 [[random]] [[Level]] 4 or lower [[Monster Card|monster]] from your hand or Deck in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]].
 +
● You cannot [[Normal Summon]] monsters.
 +
● All monsters Special Summoned by this card's [[Card effect|effect]] and all monsters your opponent [[control]]s must attack, if able.
 +
● When an opponent's monster [[declare]]s an [[attack]], destroy that monster, and inflict [[Effect damage|damage]] to your opponent equal to half of that monster's [[ATK]].
 +
● This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of other [[Spell Card|Spells]], [[Trap Card|Traps]], or [[Effect Monster]]s.
 +
● Your opponent must [[pay]] this card's [[maintenance cost]].
 +
** Reason for contradiction: Despite what the written anime lore says, Leon was able to Special Summon "[[Forest Wolf]]" from his hand which should have been impossible as Leon can only summon monsters from his Deck.
  
* [[White Night Dragon]] - You can [[negate]] the [[activate|activation]] of any [[Spell Card|Spell]] or [[Trap Card]] that [[target]]s this card, and [[destroy]] that card. When a [[face-up]] [[Monster Card|monster]] you [[control]] is [[select]]ed as an [[attack target]], you can [[send]] 1 Spell or Trap Card you control to the [[Graveyard]] to change the target to this card.
+
* [[Soul Shield]] - [[Activate]] only by [[pay]]ing half your [[Life Points]] when a [[Monster Card|monster]] you control would be [[destroyed by battle]]. It is not destroyed by this battle and you take no [[Battle Damage]] from this battle. At the end of the [[Damage Step]], end the [[Battle Phase]].
** Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore was similar to its OCG lore, which meant that Alexis could not equip "[[White Veil]]" to this card as this card's first effect in the real game is mandatory not optional.
+
** Reason for contradiction: Yugi was able to use this card to prevent "[[Dark Magician]]" from destroying "[[Blockman]]" and inflicting piercing damage despite the written anime lore not saying it can nullify battle damage.
  
* [[Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler]] - Cannot be [[Normal Summon]]ed or [[Set]]. Must be [[Special Summon]]ed by "[[The Heaven's Road]]", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is [[Summon]]ed: Toss a coin and gain the appropriate [[Card effect|effect]]. ● Heads: When this card [[destroy]]s an opponent's [[Monster Card|monster]] [[Destroyed by battle|by battle]] and [[send]]s it to the [[Graveyard]]: You can [[target]] 1 card in your Graveyard; add that target to your [[hand]]. You cannot [[activate]] that card this [[turn]]. ● Tails: During either player's turn: [[Negate]] the activation of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster's Effect that targets this card and destroy it. After this effect resolves, this card loses 1000 [[ATK]] and your opponent [[Draw a card|draws]] 1 card.
+
==[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]==
** Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime effect wouldn't have worked in episode 104 since it responded to the effect of "[[Elemental HERO Grand Neos]]" after "[[Reversal of Fate]]" resolved.
+
* [[Toon Dark Magician Girl]] - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". while you control "Toon World". If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon monster, in which case this card must target a Toon monster for its attacks. This card gains 300 ATK for every "Dark Magician" or "Magician of Black Chaos" in either player's Graveyard.
 
+
** Reason for contradiction: This card's summon was a Normal Summon in the movie as Pegasus had to use "[[Ultimate Offering]]" in order to summon "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" and "Toon Summoned Skull".
* [[A Hero Emerges]] - You can only [[activate]] this card when your opponent declares an [[attack]] or when your opponent destroys a monster you control by battle. Your opponent selects 1 [[random]] card from your [[hand]]. If it is a [[Monster Card]], [[Special Summon]] it on your side of the field. If not, send it to the [[Graveyard]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: Although this card's written anime lore and its real card lore are the same, Jaden activated this card after "[[Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes]]" destroyed "[[Elemental HERO Bubbleman]]" in battle, which shouldn't have been possible.
 
  
* [[Elemental HERO Wildheart]] - This card is unaffected by Trap Cards and can't be targeted by their effects.
 
** Reason for contradiction: The effect of "[[Dark Cure]]" didn't activate when this card was summoned even though this card can still be targeted for the effects of Traps.
 
 
* [[Freed the Brave Wanderer]] - Once per turn, you can remove from play 2 LIGHT monsters in your Graveyard to destroy 1 face-up monster on the field whose original ATK is higher than this card.
 
** Reason for contradiction: When Jaden used this card's effect on "[[Power Annihilator]]", this card's ATK was higher than the ATK of "Power Annihilator" and that would make it impossible for Jaden to use this card's effect to destroy "Power Annihilator".
 
 
* [[Elemental HERO Divine Neos]] - This card can only be [[Special Summon]]ed from your [[Extra Deck|Fusion Deck]] by [[return]]ing the above cards on your [[Playing field|field]] or in your [[Graveyard]] to the [[Main Deck|Deck]]. (You do not use "[[Polymerization]]"). By [[select]]ing 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster in your Deck and [[banish|removing it from play]], this card gains 500 ATK. This card may gain any effects of any "Neo-Spacians" removed from play this way.
 
** Reason for contradiction: The effect of "[[Neo-Spacian Glow Moss]]" didn't activate when this card attacked "[[Darkness Neosphere]]", which could have changed the outcome of the whole Duel.
 
 
==Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's==
 
* [[Nitro Warrior]] - Once during each of your [[turn]]s, if you had [[activate]]d a [[Spell Card]] this turn, you may increase this card's ATK by 1000 during its next [[attack]], for [[damage calculation]] only. If this attacking card [[destroy]]s an opponent's [[Monster Card|monster]] [[Destroyed by battle|by battle]]: You can [[target]] 1 [[face-up]] [[Defense Position]] monster your opponent [[controls]]; change that target to [[Attack Position]], then attack it with this card.
 
** Reason for contradiction: During Yusei's second Duel against Trudge, this card gained 1000 ATK even though "[[Speed Spell - Dash Pilfer]]" was played before this card was summoned. In addition to this, this card didn't gain ATK during Yusei's Duel against Leo even though he had played "[[Card Rotator]]" that turn.
 
 
* [[Junk Warrior]] - This card gains [[ATK]] equal to the [[total ATK]] of all [[Level]] 2 and lower [[Monster Card|monsters]] you [[control]]. If any Level 2 and lower monsters you control had their attack altered during the Battle Phase, this card's ATK will not change until the end of the Battle Phase.
 
** Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's anime lore, its ATK didn't change when "[[Speed Warrior]]" gained ATK through its own effect.
 
 
* [[Fairy Wind]] - [[Destroy]] all other [[face-up]] [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s on the [[Playing Field|field]]. Both players take [[Effect Damage|damage]] equal to the total number of cards destroyed by this [[Card effect|effect]] x 400. Spell Cards controlled by your opponent are excluded from this effect.
 
** Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's anime lore, both "[[Immortal Homeostasis]]" and "[[Wave of Ill Intent]]" were not counted for this card's damage effect.
 
 
* [[Call of the Haunted]] - [[Target]] 1 [[Monster Card|monster]] in your [[Graveyard]]; [[Special Summon]] that target in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]]. When this card [[leaves the field]], [[destroy]] that target. When that target is removed from the field, destroy this card.
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card was destroyed when [[Grady]] used "[[Blizzard Lizard]]" and "[[Dark Tuner Catastrogue]]" for a [[Dark Synchro Summon]] even though "Blizzard Lizard" wasn't destroyed. This error is also somewhat present in GX when monsters summoned via this card's effect are removed from the field instead of just being destroyed.
 
 
* [[Parasite Mind]] - [[Activate]] only during your opponent's [[turn]]. [[Select]] 1 [[face-up]] [[Continuous Spell Card]] or [[Continuous Trap Card]] your opponent [[control]]s and activate that card's [[effect]] as if you were the controller of that card.
 
** Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore of this card wouldn't have worked in destroying "[[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua]]" as the latter is unaffected by the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards.
 
 
* [[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.
 
 
* [[Chain Arrow]] - [[Select]] 1 [[face-up]] [[Monster Card|monster]] on the [[Playing Field|field]]. Once during this [[turn]], if that monster battles with another monster, it gains 500 [[ATK]] during [[damage calculation]] only. Also, if that monster [[destroy]]s a monster by battle, select 1 face-up monster your opponent [[control]]s. It loses 1000 ATK until the [[End Phase]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: If the written anime lore of this card was used in the anime, then Andre shouldn't have been able to destroy "[[Junk Archer]]" as soon as he revived "[[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]" as the effect of this card would have lasted until the end of Andre's turn.
 
 
* [[Glow-Up Bulb]] - You can [[send]] the top card of your [[Main Deck|Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]] and [[Special Summon]] this card from the [[Graveyard]]. Each player can only use the [[Card effect|effect]] of "Glow-Up Bulb" once per [[Duel]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card's written's anime lore would make it impossible for Akiza to activate in her Duel against Andre as she activated this card's effect on her Main Phase 1 and she only sent one card from the top of her Deck to the Graveyard not two.
 
 
* [[Magic Charge]] - [[Activate]] only when a [[Spell Card]] you [[control]] is [[destroy]]ed. Both players take 2000 [[Effect Damage|damage]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: Andre managed to activate this card when Yusei destroyed "[[Speed Spell - The End of the Storm]]" to Special Summon "[[Card Breaker]]". If this card can only activate when the said Spell Card is destroyed by an effect, it would be impossible for Andre to activate this card the way he activated it as Yusei destroyed "The End of the Storm" for a [[Summoning condition]], not an effect.
 
 
* [[Zushin the Sleeping Giant]] - This card cannot be [[Normal Summon]]ed or [[Set]]. This card cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed except by [[Tribute|Tributing]] 1 [[Level]] 1 [[Monster Card|monster]] that has remained [[face-up]] on your side of the [[Playing Field|field]] for 10 or more of your [[turn]]s. If this card [[battle]]s 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 [[Card effect|effect(s)]] that affect this card, those effects are [[negate]]d until the end of the Damage Step. This card cannot be [[target]]ed by the effects of your opponent's [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]s.
 
** 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.
 
 
* [[Majestic Star Dragon]] - You can [[Tribute]] this card to [[negate]] the [[Activate|activation]] of an opponent's [[Spell Card]], [[Trap Card]], or [[Effect Monster]]'s [[Card effect|effect]] and [[destroy]] all cards your opponent [[control]]s. Once per [[turn]], you can negate the effect(s) of 1 [[face-up]] [[Monster Card|monster]] your opponent controls until the [[End Phase]]. Also, if the negated effect can be activated, you can activate it once as this card's effect. During your End Phase, [[return]] this card from the field to the [[Extra Deck]], and [[Special Summon]] 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your [[Graveyard]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card didn't go back to Yusei's Extra Deck whenever it was Halldor's End Phase and "[[Stay Force]]" only helped in keeping this card from going back to Yusei's Extra Deck whenever it was his End Phase.
 
 
* [[Tyr of the Nordic Champions]] - If you [[control]] no [[face-up]] [[Divine-Beast]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]], [[destroy]] this card. You can [[Tribute]] this card to [[activate]] its [[Card effect|effect]]. If you do, the effects of Divine-Beast-Type monsters cannot be [[negate]]d by your card effects this [[turn]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: When Yusei activated "[[Trick Mirror]]" to prevent "[[Odin's Eye]]" from activating and activate the effect of "Odin's Eye" as the effect of "Trick Mirror", the [[Aesir]]s still had their effects negated.
 
 
* [[Ecole de Zone]] - [[Monster Card|Monsters]] cannot [[attack]] [[direct attack|directly]]. When a non-Token Monster is [[Summon]]ed, except by this card's [[effect]], [[negate]] the Summon and [[destroy]] that monster. Then, [[Special Summon]] 1 "[[Mask Token]]" ([[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]]/[[DARK]]/[[Level 1]]/[[ATK]] ?/[[DEF]] ?) to the destroyed monster's [[controller]]'s side of the [[field]]. The [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] of the "Mask Token" are equal to the respective ATK and DEF of the destroyed monster.
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card's effect didn't activate when Sherry used "[[Imitation]]" to summon a Mask Token onto Akiza's of the field even though Sherry summoned a monster through something beside this card's effect.
 
 
* [[Synchro Monument]] - When a [[Tuner monster]] is [[Summon]]ed or a [[Synchro Monster]] is [[Synchro Summon]]ed, your opponent cannot [[activate]] any cards that affect you or your monsters until the End Phase (your opponent can still use card effects to change your monsters' battle positions).
 
** Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore would make it impossible for Aporia to activate "[[Chaos Infinity]]" since that is still activating a card (Jack had Synchro Summoned "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" and that should have prevented Aporia from activating "Chaos Infinity").
 
 
* [[Razion, the Timelord]] - This card cannot be [[destroyed by battle]] or by card effects. You take no [[Battle Damage]] from battles involving this face-up Attack Position card. If this card battles, at the end of the [[Breakdown of the Battle Phase|Damage Step]]: Shuffle all monsters your opponent controls and all cards in your opponent's [[Graveyard]] to the [[Main Deck|Deck]]. When your opponent [[Draw|draw(s)]] a card during the [[Draw Phase]]: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. No card effects can respond to this effect's activation. You cannot [[Summon]] monsters. During your Standby Phase: Shuffle this face-up card you control to the Deck.
 
** Reason for contradiction: The effect of "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]" didn't respond to this card's effect when Yusei conducted his Draw Phase and because "Black-Winged Dragon's" effect is a Continuous Effect, the effect of "Razion" probably can't be responded to in the anime.
 
 
* [[Shooting Quasar Dragon]] - This card's maximum number of [[attack]]s per [[turn]] is equal to the number of [[Monster Card|monsters]] used as [[Synchro Material Monster]]s. When this card [[attack]]s, you can [[negate]] [[effect]]s that prevent cards from being [[destroy]]ed, until the end of the [[Battle Phase]]. While this card is face-up on the field, you take no [[effect damage]] and effects that halve your Life Points are negated. This card is unaffected by the effects of your opponent's monsters. When this card is [[leaves the field|removed from the field]], destroy all monsters on the field, then [[Special Summon]] 1 "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" from your [[Extra Deck]] (This Special Summon is treated as a Synchro Summon).
 
** Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore of this card would not have helped in destroying the Timelords in battle since an effect that prevents a monster from being destroyed by battle doesn't mean that the monster's destruction is negated. Also halving a player's Life Points doesn't count as damage, so the effect of "[[Michion, the Timelord]]" should have still activated, but it did not.
 
 
==Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL==
 
* [[Number 25: Force Focus]] - Cannot be [[destroyed by battle]] except with "[[Number]]" monsters. When your opponent [[activate]]s an [[Effect Monster]]'s [[effect]]: You can [[detach]] 1 [[Xyz Material]] from this card to [[target]] that monster; [[negate]] that target's effect(s) this [[turn]]. When this card battles with an opponent's monster, you may detach one Xyz Material from this card. If you do, the monster that this card is battling has its effects negated this turn.
 
** Reason for contradiction: This card was able to negate the effect of "[[Gogogo Golem]]" which is a Continuous Effect in both the anime and the real card game. This card's effect was also hinted in the anime to be able to negate the effect of "[[Number 39: Utopia]]".
 
 
* [[Photon World]] - When a "[[Photon]]" [[monster]] is [[Normal Summon|Normal]] or [[Special Summon]]ed: You can inflict [[Effect damage|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 Caesar]]" was summoned.
 
 
* [[Heroic Challenger - War Hammer]] - When this card [[destroy]]s an opponent's [[Monster Card|monster]] [[by battle]] and [[send]]s it to the [[Graveyard]]: Destroy all [[Equip Card]]s [[equip]]ped to this card, then you can equip the destroyed monster to this card as an Equip Card. This card gains [[ATK]] equal to the ATK of a monster equipped to it.
 
** Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, [[Nistro]] was able to Special Summon this card during the Duel Coaster part of the World Duel Carnival finals.
 
 
* [[Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage]] - Cannot be [[destroyed by battle]] except with "[[Number]]" monsters. During either player's [[turn]]: You can [[detach]] 1 [[Xyz Material]] from this card, then [[activate]] 1 of these [[Card effect|effects]].<br />● Until the [[End Phase]] of this turn, if this card [[battle]]s one of your opponent's monsters, that monster's [[ATK]] becomes 0 and this card's ATK becomes that monster's [[original ATK]].<br />● Until the End Phase of this turn, [[negate]] the [[effect]]s of 1 [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]] monster your opponent controls and this card gains that monster's effects.<br />● When an opponent's monster [[declare]]s an attack, that monster's name becomes "Unknown" and this card gains that monster's original name.
 
** Reason for contradiction: One of the written effects that can be selected for the second effect of "Heraldic King Genom-Heritage" would not have helped Vetrix in destroying "[[Number 9: Dyson Sphere]]" as he explicitly stated during his Duel against Kite that this effect negates the effects of "Dyson Sphere" and grants "Genom-Heritage" those effects until the End Phase.
 
 
* [[Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction]] - Cannot be [[destroyed by battle]] except with "[[Number]]" monsters. During your [[Standby Phase]]: [[Detach]] 1 [[Xyz Material]] from this card or take 2000 [[effect damage|damage]]. While this card has no Xyz Materials, it cannot [[attack]]. When this card is targeted for an attack, while it has no Xyz Material: [[Destroy]] this card. When this card is [[destroy]]ed: Take 2000 damage.
 
** Reason for contradiction: Despite that the anime card and the real card forbids the player from Special Summon monsters, Vetrix was able to summon [[Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage]] while this card was face-up.
 
 
* [[Dotedotengu]] - When this card is [[sent]] to the [[Graveyard]]: You can [[target]] 1 card either player [[control]]s; [[return]] it to the [[hand]].
 
** Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, [[Yuma Tsukumo]] used this card to return a card controlled by [[Devon Knox]].

* [[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]] - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". This card cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. This card can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon Monster. If they do control one, this card must target a Toon Monster for its attacks.

Latest revision as of 07:14, 6 July 2023

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![edit]

  • Swords of Revealing Light (Episodes 1, 14, and 15 only)- Flip all monsters your opponent controls face-up. This card remains on the field for 3 of your opponent's turns. While this card is face-up on the field, monsters your opponent controls cannot declare an attack. Monsters summoned after this card's activation are excluded from this effect.
    • Reason for contradiction: When Kaiba summoned "Judge Man" in episode 1, it was not affected by this card's effect. The same case applied to PaniK summoned "Metal Guardian" in episode 15. All episodes after that used the TCG/OCG effect.
  • Koumori Dragon - 1700 ATK
    • Reason for contradiction: When this card is shown in card form, it correctly shows its ATK at 1500, but every time this card battles a monster, the damage is calculated as if this card has 1700 ATK.
  • Pumpking the King of Ghosts - 1500 ATK
    • Reason for contradiction: When this card is shown in card form, it correctly shows its ATK at 1800, but when it was summoned, its ATK was 1500 and the Field Power Bonus and the Battle Damage that Bonz later receives are based on this.

Activate 1 or both of these effects (simultaneously). ● When an opponent's monster declares an attack: you may negate the attack, and if you do, you may increase the ATK of the attack target by 500 until the End Phase. ● Target 1 face-up monster you control; equip this card to that target. It gains 500 ATK.

    • Reason for contradiction: This card's effect was written in the style of its OCG lore and both "Celtic Guardian" and "Axe Raider" were affected by this card's effect during Yami Yugi and Joey's Duel against Para and Dox (only "Celtic Guardian" lost the boost which occurred after it destroyed "Wall Shadow").
  • Shadow of Eyes - Whoever this Spell is equipped to can use pheromones to tempt their enemies, forcing them into Attack Position and force them to attack.
    • This card made "Dark Magician" attack "Harpie Lady" despite that it was Mai's turn at the timing.
  • Magical Neutralizing Force" - Continuous Magic and Trap Cards used by your opponent lose effect where this card is placed.
    • Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore implies that all Magic Cards loses their effects where this card is placed, but it should only be the opponent's as this card destroyed only "Magical Hats" when Pegasus used it. In the case where Yugi used it, this card destroyed "Toon World" and "Gorgon's Eye" (this was off-screen, but that action prevents Yami Yugi from losing each time "Relinquished" destroyed a Defense Position monster in battle).
  • Living Arrow - The effect of a Spell owned by you or your opponent is given to an opponent's card(s) of your choice.
    • Reason for contradiction: The written anime lore states it only affects the controller's Spell Cards and it only targets one opposing monster on the field. While this would work in this card's Duel debut, it would not in its other major duels as Yugi uses this card against Spell Cards controlled by his opponents (Pegasus' "Magical Neutralizing Force Field" and Keith Howard's "Tribute to The Doomed") and in the case with Pegasus it targeted "Toon World" (a Continuous Spell Card).
  • Magic Jammer - Discard 1 card. Negate all Lingering Spell Card Effects and destroy all Spell Cards on the field.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore was written in a way that it looked similar to the OCG lore. The anime effect of "Magical Hats" was a Normal Spell Card with a Lingering effect that lasts until all the hats are destroyed and Keith activated this card on his Draw Phase instead of when "Magical Hats" was activated.
  • Scapegoat - Special Summon up to 4 "Sheep Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon.
    • Both the real card and the anime version of this card forbid the player from summoning other monsters the turn they activate this card (but a Normal Set can still be done), however Joey activates this card during the turn he Normal Summoned "Baby Dragon" during his Duel against Espa Roba. Additionally, this card requires the player to have four unoccupied Monster Card Zones, but during Joey's Duel against Odion, he activated this card while he only had three unoccupied Monster Card Zones.
  • 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.
  • Graceful Dice (Episodes 64 onward)- Roll a six-sided die and select 1 monster with 500 or less ATK. Multiply its ATK by the number rolled until the End Phase.
    • Reason for contradiction: In this card's debut duel, the effect didn't expire during the End Phase. In later duels, this card's effect does expire on the End Phase.
  • Alligator's Sword Dragon - This card can attack your opponent directly if the only monsters they control are set monsters, EARTH monsters, WATER monsters, or FIRE monsters.
    • Reason for contradiction: Although this card's written anime lore is the same as the OCG lore, Joey was still able to use this card's effect even though Mako's monsters were set.
  • Mask of Weakness - This card can only be activated in the Battle Phase. Select 1 battling monster and decrease the selected monster's ATK by 700 points during the turn this card is activated.
    • Reason for contradiction:This's written anime lore states it targets the attacking monster yet Lumis was able to use this card on "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" when it was attacked by "Rogue Doll".
  • Mystical Refpanel - Activate only when your opponent activates a Spell Card. You may negate the effect of that card. At anytime, you can select and activate one of the following effects.

● Change the target of the Spell Card to another appropriate target. If the Spell Card was an Equip Spell Card, destroy it on the End Phase. ● Use the negated card from the Graveyard as your card or your opponent's card.

    • Reason for contradiction: In episode 78, Yugi had the choice of using "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. Also "Mask of Brutality" was gone after "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" destroyed "Rogue Doll".
  • Amazoness Archers - Activate only when your opponent declares an attack while you control an "Amazoness" monster or "The Unfriendly Amazon". All monsters your opponent controls are changed to face-up Attack Position (Flip Effects are not activated), and lose 500 ATK as long as they remain face-up on the field. Your opponent must attack with all of their monsters.
    • Reason for contradiction: Mai activated this card while she had "The Unfriendly Amazon" on the field, which could not have been done since that monster isn't valid card for this card's requirements
  • Cold Wave - This card can only be activated during your Main Phase 1. Until your next turn, you and your opponent cannot play or Set any Spell or Trap Cards.
    • Reason for contradiction: When Crump played the card, he played it after summoning "Giant Red Seasnake", but in the real game that would be impossible because this card can only be activated at the start of the controller's Main Phase 1 and nowhere else.
  • Soul Demolition - You can only activate this card's effect when you have a Fiend-Type monster on your side of the field. Both players, during their respective turns, can pay 500 Life Points for each card selected and remove it from play.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's anime lore is the same as its OCG lore (at the time), which would not have helped Seto conduct his winning move as he had three monsters in his Graveyard at the time in contrast to Gozaburo Kaiba who had five monsters in his Graveyard.
  • Cyber Jar - FLIP: Destroy all monsters on the field, then both players reveal the top 5 cards from their Decks, then Special Summon all revealed Level 4 or lower monsters in, face-up Attack Position, face-up Defense Position, or face-down Defense Position, also add any remaining cards to their hand. (If either player has less than 5 cards in their Deck, reveal as many as possible.)
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's effect was the same as the real card in the first two Duels it was used in. However in Kaiba's Duel with Leichter and Yami Yugi's Duel with Noah, the Defense Position monsters summoned by this card's effect were face-up instead of face-down.
  • De-Fusion - Return 1 Fusion Monster on the field to the Fusion Deck. In addition, if all the Fusion Material Monsters are in the owner's Graveyard, Special Summon them all to the Fusion Monster's controller's side of the field.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore, states that it will split a Fusion Monster and negate an attack. However in Yami Yugi's Duel against Noah Kaiba, this card was used with its real game effect due to Yami Yugi using it during his own turn in order to help him win the Duel.
  • XYZ-Dragon Cannon - Battle City arc only. This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by sending the above cards you control to the Graveyard. (You do not use "Polymerization".) This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. You can discard 1 card to destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
    • Reason for contradiction: When Yugi activates "Necromancy" in episode 131, "X-Head Cannon" was revived despite that it wouldn't have been there due to the Fusion Material Monsters of "XYZ Dragon Cannon" being banished.
  • Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". This card cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. This card can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon Monster. If they do control one, this card must target a Toon Monster for its attacks.
    • Reason for contradiction: Alister (who was disguised as Pegasus at the timing) summoned this card via "Toon Mask" which should have been impossible as he didn't Special Summon this card from his hand by Tributing two monsters.
  • Rope of Life - When a monster(s) is destroyed (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Discard your entire hand (min.1), then target 1 of those monsters; Special Summon it, and if you do, it gains 800 ATK.
    • Reason for contradiction: Rebecca was able to activate this card when "Luster Dragon #2" was destroyed by the effect of "Double Cloth Armor" even though it wasn't destroyed in battle.
  • Adamantine Sword Revival - Activate only when a Dragon-Type monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Tribute it to Special Summon 1 "Diamond Head Dragon" from your Deck in face-up Attack Position, under the control of the controller of the Special Summoned Dragon-Type monster. The Special Summoned monster can't attack the turn it's summoned.
    • Reason for contradiction: The last effect of this card was never stated in the lore, yet "Diamond Head Dragon" wasn't allowed to attack in the second to last turn and the effect was mentioned by Duke and Rebecca, which prevented Valon from losing on that turn.
  • Roll of Fate - Roll a six-sided die. Draw cards equal to the result, then send an equal number of cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore states that the top cards removed from the top of the controller's Deck are banished, but when this card is used, the removed cards are sent to the Graveyard, not banished.
  • Skull Dice - When an opponent's monster battles, roll a six-sided die. That monster's ATK is divided by the number rolled.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's written anime lore states it can only be activated when an opponent's monster attacks, but in the duel between Joey and Solomon Muto, Joey was able to activate this card when "Swordsman of Landstar" attacked "Wandering Mummy".
  • Valkyrie Erste - Once per turn, if a monster your opponent controls is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can remove from play that monster from your opponent's Graveyard. This turn, this card's original ATK becomes equal to the ATK of the removed monster while it was on the field.
    • Reason for contradiction: In this card's debut episode, one copy gained the original ATK of "Insect Queen", but it seems to have gained the ATK "Insect Queen" had when it was on the field (which was 2400), otherwise Zigfried von Schroeder wouldn't have been able to conduct his OTK to both Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood.

● Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1, Special Summon 1 random Level 4 or lower monster from your hand or Deck in face-up Attack Position. ● You cannot Normal Summon monsters. ● All monsters Special Summoned by this card's effect and all monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able. ● When an opponent's monster declares an attack, destroy that monster, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that monster's ATK. ● This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of other Spells, Traps, or Effect Monsters. ● Your opponent must pay this card's maintenance cost.

    • Reason for contradiction: Despite what the written anime lore says, Leon was able to Special Summon "Forest Wolf" from his hand which should have been impossible as Leon can only summon monsters from his Deck.

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light[edit]

  • Toon Dark Magician Girl - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". while you control "Toon World". If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon monster, in which case this card must target a Toon monster for its attacks. This card gains 300 ATK for every "Dark Magician" or "Magician of Black Chaos" in either player's Graveyard.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's summon was a Normal Summon in the movie as Pegasus had to use "Ultimate Offering" in order to summon "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" and "Toon Summoned Skull".
  • Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". This card cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. This card can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon Monster. If they do control one, this card must target a Toon Monster for its attacks.
    • Reason for contradiction: This card's summon was a Normal Summon in the movie as Pegasus had to apply the effect of "Ultimate Offering" in order to summon it.
  • Toon Summoned Skull - Cannot be summoned unless you control a face-up "Toon World". This card cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. This card can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon Monster. If they do control one, this card must target a Toon Monster for its attacks.
    • Reason for contradiction: Same reason as reason for "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" in the movie.
  • 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.
