Card programming errors

 * Like Reverse of Arcadia, the numbers of Speed Counters required to activate "Speed Spell - Speed Storm" are incorrect. 3 or more Speed Counters are required to be able to activate the card, not 4 or more.


 * "Hallowed Life Barrier" prevents monster(s) from being destroyed as a result of battle.


 * "The Lady in Wight" grants immunity to applicable monsters on both sides of the field, despite stating "Zombie-Type monsters you control." Particularly noticeable when "Zombie World" is in play.


 * The "Vylon Element" loop combo can't be done is this game, it will missing the timing instead.


 * "Scrap Orthros" can miss the activation timing of its effect in this game. This should be impossible due to it's effect saying "if," not "when."


 * "Speed Spell - Faustian Bargain" can target any of the opponent monsters, not just ones that were Special Summoned.

Card text errors

 * "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon", "Manga Ryu-Ran", "Toon Mermaid" and "Toon Summoned Skull" have a grammar error stating "If a face-up "Toon" monster is on your opponent's side of the field, your must select the "Toon" monster as an attack target.

Gameplay errors

 * When starting a Duel, every now and then the music will not start until a later turn.


 * Certain parts of the dialogue when playing as a female refer to the player as "him", "he", etc.


 * When viewing a replay, the Duel music is set to the person the player last dueled.


 * Sometimes when a monster with an animated Summon sequence, such as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is Summoned, the card's name will be flickering.
