The movie features a cast consistent with its Japanese source material, without explicit race or gender swaps of roles that would be considered traditionally Western. Its narrative focuses on its fantasy plot, not engaging in critiques of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on fantasy card duels and ancient Egyptian lore, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative is centered on card dueling, ancient Egyptian lore, and the rivalry between its main protagonists, with no content pertaining to gender identity.
