In these fanfictions, the theme of self - discovery through love is quite common. Bakura, through his love for Ryou, may come to understand himself better. Additionally, the theme of forbidden love can also be present. Given the nature of their relationship in the Yu - Gi - Oh! context, it can be seen as something that goes against the norm, which adds an element of tension and intrigue to the stories.
One common theme is the struggle with Bakura's darker side. Since he has a more malevolent alter - ego, the fanfiction often deals with how that affects his relationship with Ryou. Another theme is the discovery of love, as Bakura may not be used to such tender feelings.
