Yu-Gi-Oh! is a Japanese comic book series about a boy named Yugi who goes around playing a collectible card game called Duel Monsters. The manga has spun off into an entire multimedia franchise, including an actual version of the CCG featured in the stories, which emphasize trusting in "the heart of the cards" as a key skill.
Christian Weston Chandler is a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! CCG, and has incorporated the use of its "spell cards" into his Sonichu comics. Much like his custom Pokemon cards, Chris has created dozens of homemade Yu-Gi-Oh! cards about himself and his characters.
Chris employs Yu-Gi-Oh! references throughout the Sonichu series, usually to portray himself battling Wes Iseli. His Yu-Gi-Oh! influence peaks in Episode 12, where Chris uses his deck of cards to prevent Wes from ruining the wedding of Sarah Hammer and William Spicer. Spicer himself is depicted as Jack's Knight, one of the characters in the cards, either because Chris couldn't draw him or didn't know what he looked like. A side plot in Episode 12 is Chris beaming about his new friendship with Megan Schroeder, whom he he met while playing Yu-Gi-Oh! at The Game Place in the summer of 2005; this probably accounts for his unusual fixation on the game.
