Yu-Gi-Oh!
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 Pokémon 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 Sonichu #5 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.
Chris has also drawn himself -- complete with hairy legs and Sonichu medallion -- as Dark Magician Girl, a female Yu-Gi-Oh! character. Whether this is an example of random-access humor or further evidence of Chris's issues with sexuality is unknown.
A trend in some of his custom cards is that some of the effects on the cards rely on monsters being male or female, such as "Virgin With Rage", "A Jerk", and "Girlfriend Attraction". This is flawed because the player won't know what monster is male or female if not blatantly obvious, due to gender not being important in the official cards, and some cards may be considered genderless(One of Chris's own monsters, "Sonichu Zord", for example).
