The thing about YGO characters is that EVERY character has something in common with each other. Like all of them.

So you can ship anyone with anyone.

Here's an example with some of the main boys:

Yugi, Ryou, Jou, Otogi, Kaiba - gamers

Honda, Jou, Kaiba, Malik - brothers, motorcycles, beating people up

Honda, Otogi, Jou - girls, rescuing people by beating people up, creepy relative, driving

Yugi, Ryou, Malik - Millenium Items, evil spirits

Ryou, Malik, Kaiba, Otogi, Jou - general childhood trauma

Ryou, Otogi, Kaiba - Puzzle-induced trauma, interest in Yugi

Yugi, Jou, Honda - porn, friendship, bad grades

Yugi, Kaiba, Jou - Duel Monsters

Yugi, Kaiba, Otogi - game designers

Yugi, Ryou, Otogi - indie games!
