TriviaEdit

• The title of the episode is taken from the book and the film, Requiem for a Dream. The music that is apparently being sung by Joey, is "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell, from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack.
• The cards shown in the beginning all portray people from That Guy with the Glasses, which recently became a partner site of YGO Abridged. Among them are AngryJoe, TheSpoonyOne (as Doctor Insano), Linkara, TheDudette (as the Nostalgia Chick), and ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (as the Nostalgia Critic).
• The opening is a direct reference to the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! movie. Kaiba compares it to Avatar.
• Yugi compares Marik to Charles Manson, who was serving a life sentence for conspiracy to murder at the time the episode was released. Like Marik, Manson suffers from a number of mental disorders.
• The song that plays in Ishizu's flashback is a parody of "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin.
• The parody refers to General Zod, an archenemy of Superman.
• Marik reveals he is a fan of the Disney version of The Little Mermaid and wants to "go to the surface and befriend a seagull and fight a giant octopus and maybe fall in love with a handsome prince", all things the protagonist of the film does.
• Marik complains that he and Ishizu haven't visited Splash Mountain.
• Ishizu warns Marik about showing his Yaoi in public.
• When Marik appears in spirit next to Bakura and says the line "That's my bread and butter you're (eff)ing with." he is making a reference to the Adult Swim cartoon Metalocalypse. The line has been said during both season finales so far in the series.
• The sound clip at the end comes from Anchorman.
