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! GX

• Terrorking Archfiend - This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned unless you have an Archfiend Monster Card on your side of the field. The controller of this card pays 800 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When the effect of a card controlled by your opponent is activated 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 result of battle are negated.
  • 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 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.

• Ancient Gear Castle - Face-up "Ancient Gear" 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).
  • 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.

• 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).
  • 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.

• 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.
  • 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.

• Destiny HERO - Dreadmaster - (Society of Light only) If this card was Summoned, destroy all monsters you control (except for "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 destroyed, 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.
  • 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.

• 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.
  • 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.

• Dark Creator - This card cannot be destroyed by battle or declare a direct attack. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle(except "Dark Creator"), inflict 700 damage to your opponent.
  • 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.

• Stray Lambs - (Season 2 only) Special Summon 2 "Lamb Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position.
  • 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.

• White Night Dragon - You can negate the activation of any Spell or Trap Card that targets this card, and destroy that card. When a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can send 1 Spell or Trap Card you control to the Graveyard to change the target to this card.
  • 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.

• Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler - Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by "The Heaven's Road", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is Summoned: Toss a coin and gain the appropriate effect. ● Heads: When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends 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 draws 1 card.
  • 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.

• Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle - Once per turn, you can return 1 face-up "Crystal Beast" card you control to the top of its owner's Deck. If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone or discarded from your hand, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.
  • Reason for contradiction: This card's effect activated when "Infernal Blasthound" made Jesse discard this card even though the real card doesn't do that unless it was destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone.

• 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".

• Wicked Canon - When you take Battle Damage, you can send 1 "Wicked Rune" Spell Card from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard. You can remove from play this face-up card you control and all "Wicked Rune" cards from your Graveyard to Special Summon 1 monster from your Fusion Deck that can only be Special Summoned with "Super Polymerization", ignoring the Summoning conditions OR 1 Fusion Material Monster, from your Deck, that is listed on a Fusion Monster in your Fusion Deck that can only be Special Summoned with "Super Polymerization", and whose Level is equal to or less than the number of "Wicked Rune" Spell Cards removed x 2.
  • Reason for contradiction: Despite the translation, it seems to imply in the episode that Brron was trying to use this card's effect to summon "Colorless, Chaos King of Dark World", but it failed due to Syrus Truesdale not being sacrificed.

• Common Soul - Select 1 face-up monster on the field. Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster from your hand to the same side of the field as the selected monster. The selected monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the monster that was Special Summoned by this effect. When this card is removed from the field, return the Special Summoned monster to its owner's hand. When the Special Summoned monster is removed from the field, destroy this card.
  • Reason for contradiction: This card disappeared completely after Jaden Contact Fused "Elemental HERO Neos" with "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird" when it should have remained on the field until it was removed from the field.

• Force of Four - When this card is activated, if a player(s) has more than 4 cards in their hand, they must send cards to the Graveyard until there are 4 cards in their hand. While either player has 4 cards in their hand, if they draw a card(s) during their Draw Phase or activate an effect that would add a new card(s) from their Deck or Graveyard to their hand, they must send all those cards to the Graveyard instead.
  • Reason for contradiction: This was not said in the written lore, but when Adrian Gecko drew "Exodia the Forbidden One" through his Draw Phase, this card forced him to send that card to the Graveyard, which prevented him from completing Exodia at that point.

• Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord - This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "The Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord". This card cannot be destroyed by battle. This card is unaffected by the effects of Spells, Traps, and Effect Monsters controlled by your opponent. When this card attacks, send 1 "Forbidden One" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard. This card gains 1000 ATK for each "Forbidden One" monster in your Graveyard. If this card would be removed from play, send it to the Graveyard instead. If there are 5 different "Forbidden One" monster cards in your Graveyard, you win the Duel.
  • Reason for contradiction: In Adrian's Duel against Yubel, he was planning to activate "Backup Soldier" on his next turn, despite that he had only four known monsters in his Graveyard ("Left Arm of the Forbidden One", "Right Arm of the Forbidden One", "Right Leg of the Forbidden One", and "Fog King").

• Level Bond - Your opponent draws 2 cards. Special Summon 1 "LV" monster from your Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. That monster's effects are negated, and it cannot attack this turn.
  • Reason for contradiction: Though the written lore said that you must banish two LV monsters with the same name from your Graveyard and Special Summon a LV monster with the same name as the banished monsters from your Deck, this is not what happened in the episode. Aster just drew two cards and Chazz just revived one of the "Armed Dragon LV7" from his Graveyard.

• Burst Breath - Tribute 1 Dragon-Type monster and destroy all face-up monsters on the field whose DEF is less than or equal to the Tributed monster's ATK.
  • Reason for contradiction - In his duel with Yusuke, Atticus lost when this card got negated, but he shouldn't have since Red-Eyes would have already left the field. This means the Tribute part of this card is part of the effect in the anime.

• Elemental HERO Divine Neos - This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards on your field or in your Graveyard to the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization"). By selecting 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster in your Deck and 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.
