Since UltimateKuriboh removed the allusions section in the main ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' article, might as well put this here. If a new ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' series starts after ''ARC-V'', put the allusions here instead of that series page.

− | * [[ | + | * [[Berserk Mode (ability)|Berserk Mode]] is similar to [[The Gentle Darkness]] in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' and [[Dark ZEXAL]] in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL''. Each case is due to the wielder being affected by (or combined with) a counterpart of theirs, which overwhelmed their minds to some degree ([[The Supreme King]] took advantage of Jaden's insecurities after losing his friends in order to possess his body, [[Astral]] was corrupted by the darkness inside him, making him the only one in control of Dark ZEXAL instead of Yuma, and Yuto's memories of his homeland being invaded by Duel Academy were too much for Yuya to bear). This affected the wielders' personalities negatively, causing them to develop aggressive Dueling styles. |

* Like Jaden and Yuma, Yuya begins the series as a cheerful and positive person who Duels only for fun, but as the series progresses and he watches others continuously risk their lives, he slowly becomes colder and less optimistic, and finds it increasingly harder to enjoy Dueling. | * Like Jaden and Yuma, Yuya begins the series as a cheerful and positive person who Duels only for fun, but as the series progresses and he watches others continuously risk their lives, he slowly becomes colder and less optimistic, and finds it increasingly harder to enjoy Dueling. | ||

* Yuya's first (full) Duel of the series is against the reigning champion and is Dueling due to his father's absence and uses the Duel to show the kind of Dueling he wants everyone to experience and use. This mirrors Yugi/Yami Yugi's Duel against [[Seto Kaiba]] for the sake of his [[Solomon Moto|grandpa]] and tries to teach Kaiba about respecting the cards and Dueling with heart. In both cases, when they lose doubt, they remember what their respective family said to them about Dueling (and essentially life) and draw their last card of the Duel, which allows them to win in one-shot using five monster cards in a way that had never been done before. | * Yuya's first (full) Duel of the series is against the reigning champion and is Dueling due to his father's absence and uses the Duel to show the kind of Dueling he wants everyone to experience and use.
