Magician of Black Chaos is particularly poor, as not only does it have no effects, but one of its required monsters (Dark Magician) has only 300 less ATK than it. Some of the coolest and most iconic monsters in the game, commonly possessing high stats or unique abilities, but they take, at minimum, four cards to summon, and most of the stronger ones require powerful cards themselves. also has a curious aversion to Insect Imitation, and will never use it. tends to ignore monsters that are far from the frontline, even if they have dangerous field-wide effects, such as Great Moth or Binding Chain.

Artificial Stupidity: Permanent counter cards Mirror Wall and Goblin Fan will be completely ignored by CPU opponents, which frequently leads to them killing themselves, battle effects like Aqua Dragon's field-changing effect tend to be ignored, and the game's A.I.

He even apologizes for accidentally unsealing the entity using the Great Summoning of the Roses. Because of the Perspective Flip, Seto is actually a pretty noble guy (though something of an Anti-Hero) if you side with the Yorkists, as opposed to a straight-up villain seeking the power of Manawyddan fab Llyr if you side with the Lancastrians.

Another Side, Another Story: Both sides of the story reveal differing details about the plot, particularly concerning Seto and the Rose Cards.

And You Were There: Everyone in the game is a pre-incarnation of someone from the main Yu-Gi-Oh! series, with the exception of DarkNite's brother.

The Union Flag's present design didn't exist until 1801, with the earlier flag of Great Britain (also known as the Union Jack) only first coming into existence in 1606-long after the War of the Roses.

As noted below, Bandit Keith wears the Union Jack instead of the American flag to match the change in settings.

Dinosaurs were not identified and named as such until the mid-19th century. Rex Raptor appears in the game, along with his dinosaur cards.Aside from some of the European historical figures taking on Japanese names, things like machines and cartoons didn't exist during the Wars of the Roses.Alternate History: As the summary above should hint.But only Pegasus can identify facedown non-fusion monsters 100% accurately.

You can use this to find out what facedown powerups used were, and even to identify facedown fusion monsters, because you can see what the materials were and check a fusion guide. As a player, you can look at your opponent's graveyard.

He can make you kill your own monster too with that card, again using facedowns. Not the strongest, but still powerful? Change of Heart instead if he has it. If your strongest monster is facedown, and near your deck leader? He knows it, and will play Brain Control to take it over and attack you if the card is in his hand.

He is VERY good at abusing this knowledge, and has cards in the deck designed to help him do so.

Most others will pretend not to know, and walk right into your facedowns.

As such, Pegasus is one of the few CPU opponents who doesn't regularly fall for the player's traps and bluffs, carefully calculating terrain and card effects before making his move.

While most Yu-Gi-Oh! games in the pre-DS era were rife with this anyway, Pegasus-a frequent offender where this trope is concerned-was likely intentional given the powers of his Millennium Eye.

Ishizu ( known here as 'Ishtar') is on the side of the Yorkists.

Subverted if you're on Seto's team, as he's a Graceful Loser who nonetheless vows to win the war.

Due to limited screen time, Henry Tudor (Yugi) comes off as much more of a jerk, especially in the Lancastrian ending where he takes the credit for the player character's accomplishments once they head back to their own era.

Subverted if you're on Yugi's team, where he's a manipulative villain again.

Adaptational Heroism: On the Yorkist side, Seto is much less of a villain in this game than he was in Forbidden Memories, or even in the regular canon.
