Trivia

• A lot of the Tag Force exclusive characters are depicted in different outfits from different eras, such as Kami and Wisteria donning the Obelisk Blue uniform from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and Bright wearing the original Domino City High School female uniform from the original series.
• Similarly, original characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL World Duel Carnival all reapppear as Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V characters, with the students switching from the Heartland Academy's uniform to the Maiami Second Middle School's one.
• Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Tag Force Special is the only game in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series to not have 3D animations of the characters or monsters. It is also the first Tag Force game to not have voices for every character. Only the characters with available storylines had voices in this game.
  • Shunsuke Kazama, who voiced Yami Yugi, was the only voice actor who did not reprise his role as his character. He was replaced with Kousuke Kujirai.
• The characters with storylines from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX do not have lines for when they Tribute Summon a monster. This is most likely because this game uses prerecorded dialogues from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, where the formal term for Tribute Summon in Japanese, Release (リリース), was not used in the GX era.
• Jaden Yuki is the only protagonist who does not have special dialogues for his signature card, Elemental HERO Neos. This is also due to the likelihood that this game uses prerecorded dialogues from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, none of which had Jaden give dialogues for his signature card.
