- From deleted scenes, to card replacement blunders, to characters motivations, there certainly were an almost uncountable number of changes made by 4Kids when they dubbed the Yugioh Duel Monsters anime.
This list will take a look at 50 (in no particular order) instances where things were changed in the English dub from the original Japanese anime. I hope you all enjoy, and I hope you enjoy my first ever video in this rapid list kind of style!

Yu-Gi-Oh: 50 THINGS the English Dub CHANGED/CENSORED - Розваги
Grunt 1 - Oh crap we forgot our guns at home.
Grunt 2 - Don't worry as long as we point at him we'll look intimidating and he won't notice.
"He kicked a chair at us, pretend to shoot bullets out of your finger man"
Yugioh Everything XD yup
To be fair that had to do the card for copyright
I mean to be fair that had to make sure that letter and images were changed due to komiia cluorirh
So you're telling me that instead of just a quick death after losing a card game, 4Kids decided that it would be more "kids' friendly" saying that the loser will not lose his soul, but that the soul will also be sent to a place full of torture and despair for the rest of eternity?
That's...really messed up if you ask me xD
TrueOrigin XD, tho it was creative, it was still pretty dark. My cousin who watched DM dub when he was 10 didn't exactly get the torture part so I guess 4Kids gets a lucky pass.
Hahaha it is messed up when you put it that way ^ xD
Not the only time 4kids made things worse by censoring.
In Pokemon some old man looked at Misty, obviously excited and said "you remind me of my granddaughter."
And don't forgot bout Gun weapon on card change it to laser weapon
have your enemy got melt bone damage instead
It's not just the above that does it either- one of the Aquamirror cards (can't remember which) features a woman, obviously dead, in obvious pain and distress. The TCG took her mouth from an pen scream to completely shut, effectively making her look dead.
I would love it if we got a redub of yugioh in the future. Keep the original voice actors, but remove all the censorship
Kinda like what they did with Sailor Moon on Hulu?
@@canaisyoung3601 I think that Sailor Moon dub had a new cast tho
Not going to happen unless you remove the uptight parents who can't take a joke and don't want there kids seeing violance on TV. These dubbing corporations don't want a bunch of again parents calling the station then next thing they know there management is in a court room. Being sued because uneducated people here in the west took it the wrong way.
I wish 😩🤦🏽♀️
@@KD-kb4wv I don’t really think the parents are uptight there can honestly be some real scary moments that I wouldn’t want me kids seeing though I think most of the censors are very unnecessary
Yugi has a mom? What? I just sorta assumed his parents didn't exist or something
Riki the Legendary Heropon You see her in the manga and in the dub. In the dub after Pegasus is defeated, Yugi goes to the hospital to see his grandpa. The woman standing right behind his grandpa is his mom.
I always assumed it was a situation like with Donald Duck's nephews where he just for some reason permanently lives together with another relative.
Riki the Legendary Heropon I thought they were dead
Why did they remove the scenes of Yugi's mom in episode 50? I feel like it was unnecessary.
I figured he had the anime protagonist hair do that kills either one or both parents
#27: Actually in the manga, Pegasus made Keith shoot himself in the head with his gun, using his millennium eye..
how Persona 3 of them >:P
Bandit Keith shoots Pegasus in the manga.. I've read it.
Hossam Haybat WTF
no he pulled a knife on Pegasus and got himself into a russian roulette penalty game. then after the tournament yami bakura ripped out the millennium eye left Pegasus to die
This is a penalty game called "Hand and Gun". Keith was forced to play Russian Roulette with a gun embedded in his own hand.
You missed out on my least favourite change. Joey's arc in Battle City!! In the original he wanted to earn a match against Yugi, win his Red-Eyes back fairly and become a true duelist. In the 4-Kids version he is just "Helping Yugi" defeat Marik, it sucks so hard.
4kids cut out so many of joey's good character-developing scenes :/ i would have liked joey a lot more as a kid if i'd known more about his background and internal struggles and motivations, but instead he was reduced to a goofy sidekick.
@@58209 I hated that the dub removed the beach scene with Jonouchi and Honda, where Honda punches Jonouchi to make him come to his senses
now i understand why in the end scene of battle city yugi and joey started a duel. i never understood it what that meant but now it makes sense
Bruh I watched the arc with the original voices and reading this was like wtf 4kids
@Parker I'd like to also bring to your knowledge if you haven't learned since your Comment haha, but after the battle city arc concluded, in later seasons Joey has his red eyes back, implying he did win it back against atem.
Worth noting, the card that Kaiba uses to jam the gun is Gyakutenno Megami, which translates to "Goddess of Turnabout", which is a very appropriate card to turn the situation around.
Exactly. A trading card is going to need at least 2000 def to stop a bullet. lol
I find it funny how they never removed that but removed Keith’s gun held at pegasus’s head
@@Goodboysforlife Someone tried the experiment (jamming a gun with a card) and it worked.It's here on youtube.
@@hecatrice2064 Did it land on the gun in defense position?
Omission of the scene creates a technical error in the original Kaiba starter deck, as well.
"You get a god card!"
"He gets a god card!"
"She gets a god card!"
"EVERYONE GETS A GOD CARD!"
Only THREE Egyptian gods you say!?

@@YugiohEverything You forgot to mention something else about Dark Necrofear...her torso was filled in in the Dub, whereas it showed her ribcage om the Sub version
Beware The Invisible Guns!!!!!!
Enough to strike fear in the hearts of thousands
"plays dramatic music"
I put that too in a different way
+YGO NumberHunter *plays 'The Master' from Code Geass OST*
😎👉
Got to love the finger guns xD "Puts your hands into the air! We have finger guns and we know how to use them!"
When someone thinks of dubbed Yugioh they immediately think "Finger guns"
Yeah, for the longest time I didn't know about the fact that they were supposed to have real guns in the show, I only found out about the finger guns thing because I watched the abridged series. ^-^ So happy to be in on the joke in time to make it on this comment section. ^-^
bang bang...bang bang...
Grace Gramling You know whats funny? In the manga Pegasus turns Keiths hand into a gun and force him to shot himself with his finger
Plot Twist: They know how to use "Spirit Gun"
One of my biggest issues in the dub was the motive for kidnapping Mokuba in Duelist Kingdom. The dub claimed you needed a Kaiba family member to control the company, which is the dumbest thing in the world considering Dartz buys KaibaCorp later. The sub gave them an actual legitimate reason for kidnapping him, as he had the key to new technology Kaiba was working on.
4kids- Guns, Blood, the word Death, and punching/smacking someone is bad, but corporate espionage and kidnapping are just fine.
TombWraith But the technology Pegasus was after was Kaiba's Solid Vision technology, which he already had access to for his duels, as his plan in the sub was to use the technology to create a solid hologram of his wife, and he needed to defeat Yugi to get the KaibaCorp executives on his side. The dub changes it to acquiring Yugi's Millennium Item along with the others to open a gateway to the after life to acquire his wife's soul and place it into a mechanical body to restore her to life. I believe Dartz bought KaibaCorp by hacking into Kaiba's personal accounts and took all his stock, making it come off as a hostile takeover.
I don't know because in the dub they state Dartz hacked into the account of Kaiba corp and did that illegally. One thing about the dub that I didn't get though was why they seemed to leave Bakuba alone. Since they needed him to sign over control of Kaiba corp wouldn't they torture him until he gave in?
marinus18 bakuba?
Of course kidnapping is fine for them. What other excuse can they use for characters dying?
Its kind of hard to hide a kidnapping to be honest. What were they gonna do, just not mention Mokuba for 3/4 of the first season?
I finally have a video to show anyone who asks "is the dub really that different?" I have no problem with people who watch the dub, but it's practically an entirely different show in my eyes
Perry Gharty im just glad it's not the Singapore dub *dude*
but the dub has awesome music dude especially seto's theme xD dub better
Perry Gharty Why can't Funimation or Viz Media just acquire the licensing rights to Yugioh and just re-dub the anime show?
Perry Gharty
4KIDS dub: just a harmless children’s card games
Original: just a dangerous and deadly children’s card games... but they are still screwing with the rules
An entirely different show is an exaggeration
While I do agree that most changes were kinda silly and annoying, I will say besides the shadow realm, I liked the change of Pegasus' motives simply because desperately trying to bring his wife back from her untimely demise has more of the "tragic lover" thing going for it as where just trying to make a hologram would just seem kinda weird/creepy. But that's just my opinion.
thelakotanoid1 I feel the same with Pegasus motives. They were a lot more realistic and believable in the dub than the original :/
It just didn't make any sense with how the millennium items functioned. The dub changed the purpose each time they altered the plots, thus there was no consistency to them and you got things such as Bakura wanting all 7 for their power (more ambiguous in the sub until you find out exactly why), but Pegasus wants them to revive his dead wife which they can't do, but wait according to Marik the true power is inside the Puzzle alone and within the Pharaoh himself. It didn't have any consistency as to what the items represented.
Granted, you have the "mind crush" scene in the pilot which really makes no sense in either version because Atem didn't really use it again. But these inconsistencies are rarer in the sub then in the dub.
That wasn't really a dub change. It was there in the original and the manga.
thelakotanoid1 I just hate that he has a wife, I liked thinking he was gay lol
I think that people not knwing exactly what ancient egyptian artifacts do makes sense. Legends get twisted. Marik was part of a line of people who had lived in a tomb for millenia, and Pegasus was limited by archaeology. It makes sense that only Bakura would understand because he had an ancient spirit inside him.
I stick with the manga. I've got no idea why they changed the names. Manga Yugi was savage af. Blew people up with gunpowder, sealed kids in spirit worlds, killed several people or left them with disabilities etc, etc. Hell, there were thugs who were going to kill people using yoyos ffs
Oh wow. They seriously ruined Yugi.
@@crazywarlock6278 if you wanna see something like this, watch yu gi oh season zero, it follows the early manga stories.
Wasn't this explained as initially having a piece of Zorc influencing him, and then steadily mellowing out the more time he spent with his friends?
The Kaiba believing in the magic stuff in the Japanese ver makes the Dark Side of Dimensions dub make a lot more sense. Also sad all the awesome Kaiba moments were edited out since he's my fav character.
Crystal Dennis Music What do yo mean all the awesome Kaiba moments? Besides the deflecting bullets and jamming the gun
@@hiddejager Look it up.
@Frieza1500 Do you mean Kaiba wasn't at the Yugi vs Atem duel in the sub and he was in the dub?
@Frieza1500 Ahh i understand, thank you
@@hiddejager Kaiba was not present for that duel in manga, which DSOD is a continuation of. Lets be honest though, even in the context of the original anime, I feel that Kaiba will end up doing the same thing at some point.
Pointless Censorship.
I understand the gun thing because it's a channel for kids but the other stuff lol
@@omarsabir1210 Like Tristan punching Joey
@@omarsabir1210 I mean, children know what guns are. They plays video games with guns all the time. They pretend they're using guns all the time. Hell, TOY guns are a popular thing for children (or... they were, I dunno maybe times have changed and it's all about toy battleaxes now). Point is, kids know what guns are and what they do. It'd be like arguing that the card Shield and Sword needs to be censored because a sword is a weapon that kills people.
The changes that bother me most are the alterations of villain motivation. When I watched the subbed version, I was really confused when Pegasus never even mentioned Yugi's puzzle, and that the island eliminators have nothing to do with Pegasus at all. But I did think the story was much better with Pegasus wanting to head Kaiba Corp.
Same with Marik. I think it's a lot more in character for him to want to kill Atem rather than take his Millenium item, and it also, for me, made his alliance with Bakura make more sense.
I completely agree, the motivation changes literally change the entire story lol
It really does. The dubbed and subbed versions, to me, can sometimes feel like different shows. I think it's a series that's good to watch both versions for that reason.
not really, Pegasus motivation in the sub makes zero sense considering that unlike in the Manga he already has access to advanced holographic technology, so what the heck does he need Kaibacorp for?
@@YugiohEverything but the dub's motivation makes WAY more sense, why the hell would Pegasus need Kaibacorp when he already has access to holographic technology? That only made sense in the Manga where he didn't have the technology, in the dub him wanting the items to bring her back to life works because later on it's shown those items do open a portal to the afterlife.
I fail to see how Marik wanting to kill Atem makes sense considering the puzzle will be useless to him if he does.
fun fact the part when Panic kidnapped Mai Valentine it was not cut from the English dub it was just in a different episode I think it was in the ending of the episode where Joey duels Rex.
For real!? Maybe thats why when I went back and looked I thought it was cut, I didnt remember that scene being in the dub either, but then again so many scenes, its hard to keep track lol
Yeah I wouldn't put it past 4kids switching scenes up and putting them in different episodes you never know what them.
I just checked and it is in episode 12 towards the end.
Ok thanks! I'll watch that right now! I apologize for the error :)
oh no problem it's probably 4kids fault anyways hahaha XD
YGOTAS is so informative 😂
Little Kuriboh is the absolute man
Daisuke TV I love the abridged series
Did LK make a video on all of the changes?
@@SirBlackReeds no but he did Refrence it a lot so yea
@@YugiohEverything 🍪
Oh yeah, I forgot 4Kids had the fetish of changing a character's background Cards in the deck.
Also, I can honestly say I like the Shadow Realm concept a bit more than the just death concept. I like the actually darker "You will be sent to a realm to be tortured for eternity"
Petition to have YuGiOh redubbed with the original cast but with an updated script and no censorship
nah
I like the censorship.
@@domenikschmitz334 same
I thought for sure you would've included the scene where Dark Bakura coughs up blood after Yuugi defeats him in the final season.
AHH dammit, forgot to include that, there's just so many man xD
Right
i remember when i was at the cinema and watched the dark side of dimensions and saw the guard pull the gun on aigami i literally said out loud "oh man they didn't censored the gun" and got some laughs from some people XD
Cammister 17 I’ll put this in the “that never happened” pile
It was because 4kids wasn't during the dub for dark side of dimensions
Wish I was there to heard you said lmao
wow, i knew that the English Dub and Japanese Sub were different, but these edits and censorings make it a lot more badass. i've never watched the Original version of the series before but now i want to. The Battle Series saga seems extremely dark and gore like with Yami Marik killing people, torturing Mia and Bakura banishing his victims to Hell.
CENSORING makes things MORE badass?
Do you even listen to yourself sometimes?
@@NostalgiaCriticAnim1 I think he meant it the other way around
To 4Kids credit the "Shadow Realm" makes more sense in some scenes than others.
Mudkip971 It at least creates a coherrent cosmology for the universe.
Yeah, but like how many different ways are there to get sent to the Shadow Realm? It's almost like there's another portal to it under every pebble.
That I agree and it felt weird even when I was a kid
Mudkip971 dude I seen cartoons darker than the uncut version
hedgehog3180 I mean, maybe, but if Zorc created the Shadow Realm then how was Yami Marik more powerful than Yami Bakura if the latter is Zorc himself?
It makes more sense in the sub, in which their powers aren’t directly connected.
You know, I was grew up reading the manga, and I was surprised to learn people *didn't* know the Shadow Realm was made up by 4Kids! I saw a viral post online about it back around 2014, and I didn't get. It didn't really occur to me that people couldn't see through it.
I mean, most people only watched the show on TV and not many were interested enough to go watch the original version or read the manga
Here's what I think Kazuki Takahashi needs to do, they need funimation to DUB not only duel monsters but also SEASON 0 as well!!! Yugioh needs to be re dub again but with no filler, no censorship, keep the original Japanese script, keep the original all 5 openings and endings, keep the same music score as the Japanese dub, and last but not least make it more HD and possibly Blu-ray. Yugioh really does need a reboot like dragonball z, when akira toriyama decided to remake the series better well same thing here is needed!!! and it's not to late for newcomers and teens of this new generation to love the original yugioh
YGO:Duel Monsters is already basically a reboot of season 0. The franchise is about card games now, the concept of "King of Games" being king of all games died when they created the Duel Monsters season.
Awkward Squirtle And yet 4Kids kept the "King of Games" title while promoting the card game even harder than the original.
Hilariously enough, FUNimation did distribute Yu-Gi-Oh Uncut. Sadly, this version is largely incomplete. Furthermore, you forgot to mention keeping the same voice actors from the 4Kids run, where appropriate at least. After all, could you really imagine anyone other than Dan Green as Yugi and Atem? He nailed those two. Remake? You mean DBZ Kai? Because that wasn't a remake or a reboot. It's a REMASTERED RECUT, and even then it's not entirely superior to the original because it indiscriminately removes filler, and there were some really good filler episodes of DBZ (ex. Plight of the Children), and I don't think Akira Toriyama was involved.
Wait....so if the shadow realm doesn't exist, in the original are they being brought back to life???? Trippy shit
SuperStuffliker It's more that they didn't exactly die immediately. They went through what was called a Penalty Game. Basically they are tortured till they die (usually after 24 hours or so). If they aren't dead by the time the person they lost to is defeated, they are freed.
In the manga, those who go through a Penalty Game instantly die, but somehow, both the Toei and NAS versions of the anime reduce it to a mere coma.
In the manga version when Mai is in the hourglass it was filled with flesh eating bugs instead of sand so that she had to be saved in 24 hours or she would die. Pretty brutal.
Y'know, it's kind of interesting that Arcana has The Winged Dragon Of Ra in his hand, because Marik later mentions that he tried duplicating that card and placing it in the decks of some of his 'weaker servants', but that the copies were apparently defective.
well according to the dub the copies work just fine as long as you're strong enough to handle them
it was just the real winged dragon of ra got petty about odion using a fake right in front of it i guess 🤷♂️
You forgot the "Heart of the cards". This is a recurring thing in the dub, but in the original it was only mentioned ONCE in the first episode and then never again.
When it came to the voice acting, music, and even some comedic one-liners, 4Kids did a damn good job. Honestly, I'd prefer watching the dub over the sub if 4Kids didn't change almost everything from the original. I still enjoy watching the dub, but I think everyone can agree that these censorships almost ruined it.
Yeah I whole heartedly agree with that, I still would probably prefer the sub, but honestly if no changes were made, I'm not so sure which I'd prefer
I agree about what they did to Jack. I don't mind giving him a British accent as long as they can make him sound badass, but instead we get Jack Atlas with the voice of Bakura, instead. You know what's funny? 4Kids utilized many New York voice actors like: Mike Pollock; Jason Griffith; Veronica Taylor; etc. One of the voice actors was Mike Diraison, the voice of Guts. Wouldn't it have been more awesome if Jack Atlas had the voice of Guts from Berserk? But, that didn't happen.
I disagree with the Seto one. I like Seto better in the dub because they made him into a snarky asshole who's not impressed with anything. I especially love all the quotable lines they gave him. This one is one of my favorites:
"So thanks to me Wheeler's monster just lost half it's strength. Now his creature is as puny as his mind!"
kristof gergely I'm totally with u on that! The music and voices r phenomenal, but the censorship is sooooo unnecessary.
kristof gergely "You really hate dragons, don't you?"
kristof gergely I did like some of the points from the marik vs joey duel dub version:
Joey: do you think I'm that stupid??
Marik: Yes!!
I understand why they changed some things to make the show kid friendly, but why cut out the extra scenes from the final episode. I don't know if you noticed that they actually forgot to censor the whipping scene from one of the Crash town episodes in 5ds. That scene disturbed me and I was 16 at the time, imagine how a younger kid would've felt. I can't believe that somebody messed up so much that Vivian and Arcana got God cards XD.
It's not a censorship but it is a frequently repeated edit that I find interesting/potentially unnecessary. 4Kids frequently filled silence with dialogue in the dub just cause. One example is that when Shadi is in Bakura's room during Battle City there's no dialogue but in the dub he internally monologues about things being off with the Millenium Items and the world being in peril until that's sorted out before simply leaving the dude who took Pegasus's eye. It made it seem like Shadi failed at his one job even though it was probably more of a Shadi just being like "ugh this a-hole" (due to their previous encounter in DSOD)
Addin dialogue in silent moments is why Tea was an annoying info dump in the dub.
Honestly, all dubs used to do that, apparently they thought
Kids would change the channel if there was more than a few seconds of silence. I know they filled the silences in Digimon, and DBZ had a few of those too. In the Japanese version of DBZ, Goku and Freeza have a long, wide-angle staredown, like in a western or Samurai movie; but in the dub they ruin it with a joke about Goku's shoes being untied. Another example is Gohan's SSJ2 transformation, in the sub there's no dialogue, just music. They let the imagery speak for itself, but in the dub they gave Gohan an internal monologue explaining it and talking about what a great guy 16 is, keeping in mind that Gohan doesn't even know 16. I think Team Four Star like to riff on that part.
to be fair 4Kids isn't the only one that did that, it's common practice for dubs to do this as they aren't used to silent moments without music or dialogue, that was notably done for Kiki's Delivery Service where music was added where there was none originally.
At number 6, Yugi looks like he's holding the winged dragon of ra as well.
You forgot the most important of them all. "Changing a PG13+ anime into a kid show."
Like seriously, who green-lighted that idea?
Thats true, the real problem was 4Kids shouldnt have picked up the show, it wasnt meant for young kids
Yugioh Everything Everybody loved the idea of selling the cards.
It’s just that Japan tried to sell them to edgy teens while 4kidz tried to sell them to the parents of little kids.
@@MV96_ whoever greenlit this was really clever. Even despite all of the censorship, it was still way edgier than beyblades, digimon, or pokemon, and for those little kids that wanted to be "cool and edgy", it worked like a charm without upsetting parents, especially back in the days of cable tv, limited internet access, and the game being MUCH simpler to learn than it is today.
Also in the manga, Pegasus kills Keith by creating a gun from Keith's hand and shoots himself in the head.
Also I remembered fully well that the scene with Panic (or Player Killer) abducting Mai was still in the dub version
A very interesting video! You should do ones for the sub to dub changes for GX, 5Ds, etc.
Cool video, I learned somethings from other seasons but I reeeeeaaallly wished you would of been consistent, you jump from one season to another and back again
It's nice to see all kinds of well-made YGO content mixed with VRAINS news and reviews, a nice change of pace. Good on you, Dylan!
Thanks Joona! Glad these vids let you relax for a bit haha good luck this week!
I looked for a video of this RIGHT AFTER I saw Ep. 32 on Netflix. I thought it was really weird that a guy like Bandit Keith would just point his finger at Pegasus. I'm absolutely shocked now to find out that Yu-Gi-Oh! was originally a much darker show that the cartoon I watched as a kid. Thank you!
Honestly I always liked the shadow realm concept more than just straight up death.
You know because i'd rather die than have my soul be stuck in eternal torment.
Isn't the Shadow Realm basically Limbo or Purgatory?
The scene with Panik abducting Mai wasn't removed. I remember that scene on Kids' WB.
Me too.
Same
Yoooo!!! That Bakura eating scene has me rolling? 🤣💀 I need to rewatch this whole thing subbed now!
Sensoring the guns was the dumbest thing ever.
4Kids. Tsk tsk tsk.
Toa Arky I guess 4kids never watched Looney tunes
Well it was never 4kids’ decision to even censor any of the stuff, it was Konami that that told them to censor everything.
Toa Arky it’s literally a childrens show
@@golfie46 they turned it in to a childrens show
One choice I find interesting is that they still call Atem early on Yami Yugi or just Yami. Yami in Japanese means dark, implying that Atem, while still the good guy compared to Yami Marik and Yami Bakura, is still darker than regular Yugi, if not a more morally ambiguous character. This can be seen in the original during the duel in season 1 with the eliminator dude where in the end, Yami basically kills him.
But most scenes of Atem being this morally ambiguous character are completely removed or changed.
I find it interesting that they still call him Yami because all the other characters who are called Yami, like Yami Marik and Yami Bakura, are clearly the bad guys and I'm surprised 4kids didn't catch that possible relation.
Hopefully you do this type of vid for the other yugiohs. This was well done.
Part 2 please.
I''ll most likely be doing this for all the spinoffs in the future!
Yugioh Everything Legend.
What about when Bakura licks the eye after he steals it from Pegasus?
In the Original anime, Mako Tsunami's father actually died. In the dub he's missing
Thank you so much for making this video
There are 3 Duels through the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! Series that I still want to see
Kaiba vs Bakura ( A longer duel, not that 5 Turn match from the last season)
Joey vs Kaiba ( A longer and more serious version,Red vs Blue Eyes would have been epic)
Yugi vs Joey ( A serious, final and satisfying match, the Duelist Kingdom duel was amazing, the one from battle city was alright but this would have beeeeen so awesome)
Great Video as always Dylan!
I had just been getting back into yugioh when I heard about Takahasi's death yesterday. I grew up with the manga and dub and now, clearly, I need to see the sub. I knew stuff was changed but WOW
It always bugged me how the Arcana duel was so hmm how do I say it? Yellowish? As in everything in the dub is yellowed out and the characters look ill.
Yeah that duel was probably the most edited and changed duel in all of Yugioh in my opinion
Bozhidar Kolarov Yeah. Did they change the filter in that duel?
Besides The "Dark Energy Discs" what is actually saws that will cut the loser legs
@@evertonluiz5114 In the manga, Arcana actually lost a leg, Yugi couldn’t save him in time
@@evertonluiz5114 And even though he survived the blood loss from the saw, Malik had him kill him self
Good Video Idea! You should do it for the other series as well, in 5ds theres a scene where in Crash Town where one of the audience members in a duel goes "Is that Joey Wheeler?" but isn't in the SUB. And, I always thought it was strange they removed the guns and didn't replace them, always looked strange :D
Yes, I think I'll do it for all the shows! 5Ds will be fun especially!
You'll eventually reach 100k. Easy Dylan. KEEP UP THE GRIND BUD.
Would be incredible, I'm still thrilled I reached 10K!
sadly aster phoenix never find his kidnapped dad in gx...
I wish they had finished Yugioh uncut
Same.. They only did like 3 episodes
PooperScooper99 where can I watch this yugioh uncut 3 episodes u speak of??🙄🙄🙄
You can read the manga on the Libby downable app for free. All you need is a card from your local library. As for these issues I say blame it on the uptight parents who can't take a joke. Its not just 4kids doing this Foxkids and Disney did this as well. The last thing they need is to get sued over it because once again a bunch of uneducated people couldn't get what there kid was watching on TV. Just because your family wasn't uptight that's not the case for everyone.
I like these vids once again great vid 👍
Thank you! =)
It would be kind of fun to see you do one of these for each Yu-Gi-Oh series, 5D's specifically.
The funny thing is many of the incidents of censorship, such as the dark energy discs and building with a vortex to the shadow realm, weren’t fooling many children. The first time I saw the Arcana duel I remember looking on incredulously while thinking, “Uh, no, that thing is going to cut off the loser’s legs, but nice try.”
it did fool me.
YUGI HAS A MOM??
Nelum Lucere i dont dalme you
If I remember correctly, the Mai scene with them having dinner and Tea and the portable shower also cut out a part where Mai sees a cruise ship passing by and briefly goes into her past. And when they had the campfire dinner, there was cans of Pepsi in the original, but then I think they cut them out completely (idk, maybe 4Kids was afraid of getting sued by Pepsi?) and it just looks like Mai is raising her hand for no reason when she was actually drinking the Pepsi. At least these are changes I remember. Haven't seen the dub in a long time.
Finding out the shadow realm wasn’t real always messed me up when I found out years ago. But it surprised even more to find out that a 4Kids dub of ANY show actually added something cool.
There's even a scene that you've missed. But on the episode evil spirit of the ring. There was a scene where after joey as the flame swordsman destroyed the white magical hat, bakura grabs on to his chest like he has pain in his heart but on the 4kids version, it was cut and was replaced with bakura looking pissed
I hope we get a special edition pack with all 224 episodes English dub uncensored. A fan can have hope for these things you know.
I had no idea that were this many changes :O I always thought it was just the Invisble Gun scene.
I've started watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh! and I'm slowly realizing how much changed between the original dub and the English dub. It's pretty eye-opening.
I mostly prefer the original over the dub, but my favorite dub change is the reason Yami was holding back against Mai. In the original, he wasn't taking her seriously as a threat due to his pride and the fact she'd lost against Jonouchi earlier in the arc and against Anzu like yesterday. And that's fine for piling on about Yami's character flaws at that point to give him room to grow during the finale and going into the next arc, but I liked what the dub did way more, because in their previous Duel Yugi had just had to stop Yami from pushing Kaiba to kill himself, and it makes complete sense that he'd lose trust in Yami and start holding him back out of fear that he'd be willing to kill Mai or anyone else for the sake of winning and saving Yugi's grandpa. It's a surprisingly dark and delightful twist for the dub to make, and although the anime missed out on this entirely, I think it really helps build up to Yami's decision at the end of the arc in the manga to stop doing Penalty Games.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD, also if you could, Zexal would be other great entry if you continued this series because fun fact, the dub changed it so KITEO did not die on the moon for one. Also I think everyone loves how hard you work Dylan.
Thanks Akame! Much appreciated! A zexal one could be on the cards
Yugioh Everything your very welcome Dylan, ITs truly inspiring how hard you work on your channels.
No he still did. The dub added lines to make it seem like he was going to get saved but then left his fate a little bit more unclear. But 3 duels later when he is a ghost I am pretty sure it is clear even in the dub that 'Kite" is dead! Honestly I think 4K Media did a pretty good job censoring that scene while keeping it as intact as they could get away with it. And honestly I think it can sound even sadder that Faker was trying to save his son but knew it was already too late.
yay...dub changes vs original...love this kind of videos XD
14:19 thumbs up for the german episode picture^^
hope this is not the only video of this topic... (want to see the Pendulum Scale Setting Change from ARC-V ;-)
:D I might do something like this for all the spinoffs
Yugioh Everything looking forward to it :-)
Tbh, if DM, and 5ds didn't have that much censorship, I would have a very hard time choosing between dub and sub. Hope u make this video for the other ygh shows. Good video Dylan! Also happy ur last video had Arc-V, even tho I absolutely love Vrians rn, I still rlly miss it, and I get sad that when people do talk about it, they r either bassing it, or just using it as a meme.
I wished Netflix had instead, the uncensored version of the dub.
Me too
The uncensored dub version does not exist. dubbed Yugioh is like a completely different show then its original
@@GrandeBigdor theres a uncut dub that keep the op, ed, ost from japanese, original card design but keep the english names, but dubbed just 3 volumes, 4kids and funimation stopped the dub possibly by copyright issues
All I can say is, thank god for LittleKuriboh.
One of the funniest changes for me personally is in the dub when Yugi is fighting Seeker or whatever the Exodia guy's name is and "Seeker" starts monologuing in his head about how ''I will soon gather all 5 exodia pieces and win!" while looking at his hand and you can actually see all 5 pieces already there in his hand!
Haha, I was literally planning to comment a question like this on your next video. :)
I guess I read your mind! Hope it was enjoyable! :)
the one i hate the most is the chant to unlock winged dragon of ra
in the sub the chant is more epic
In my opinion I like the concept of the shadow realm. It adds something to the show instead of just dying. I hope 4Kids doesn't dub the new yugioh. The new one sounds so cool without all the censorship
Yeah I hope they ease back on the censors for the new series. Honestly I didnt have too much of an issue with the shadow realm concept either, I felt like it kind of worked haha
Hey thanks for the reply. What's your opinion on having the show geared towards the kids that watched the first series of yugioh like the 90's kids instead of the younger kids now a days. This would mean that there could be less censorship, right and possibly a better show where it doesn't feel like the show is just for kids.
Greetings from the future. Konami owns 4Kids, basically, so it's up in the air how many changes there will be.
@@YugiohEverything What was stupid was how they used it and didn’t use it. In Yugi’s duel with Joey while he was under mind control the chains weren’t going to drag them into the shadow realm. They were going to drown. While when Yugi and Kaiba dueled the duo of rare hunters on the tower in the sub they would just fall to their deaths while in the dub the hunters claimed the glass was a divider between earth and the shadow realm.
A cool quick fire list would be 25 or 50 moments you rewinded and watched again for whatever reason. My most recent one was Shun beating up the guards in the recycling facility because it was funny and epic. Seriously one guy beats up a dozen guys XD Shun should open a karate school with Gongenzaka and Tsukikage XD
can you do more? i wanna see more of this
I’ve known the shadow realm is a 4kids creation for years. But it still blows my mind because essentially they created something worse than death. I also love how in season 4 Joey punched Atem but it was censored in the English dub but Atem still ends up on the ground and as a kid I couldn’t understand how. Now I know tho!
I know I’m late but when 4kids edits out most text, even the English words, it’s because they were making a global version that would be released not just in English. A lot of other language dubs use the 4K edits as a base, since it is cheaper to just 4k’s removed text instead of keep translating the original text for each dub.
This was awesome i hope you do one for each season of yugioh.
I'm going to try to do one for each show! :D
Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait to see how the dub changed GX or 5D's.Can't wait tell your next video :D
The censoring wasn't necessary, but this is 4Kids so...why not? Overall, an amazing job on this long list Dylan! Hope to see more in the future! ;)
And some people still don't understand why 4-kids sucks...
Darkkefka Ikr!!! Like 90% of the comments in this video are all just fanboys of the English dub and I can't handle the criticism
Aigami9000 im sure they are attached to nostalgia, but to each their own?
they don't. 4kids is the reason yugioh is as successful as it is today so you should be on your knees thanking them. they made the most epic and dramatic dub ever conceived.
did they also censored Dinosaur king?
Alex Tomlinson Yeah, I don't think so. Just because the English dub was a success back then, doesn't mean that it's as successful as it is nowadays. Plus, people are still talking about Pokemon than they do about Yugioh. So, yeah that is just telling you that little pocket animals that you can collect are more marketable than a children's card game.
Dude, yugioh was censored in Japan before it got to America as well. After reading the manga I can't go back to the anime, those that have read the manga in its entirety will know what I mean.
Oli Murray but the sub is still watchable tho 😏
Aigami9000 Have you read the manga?
Let me guess, many of the plot-related characters die.
Enigminator nope
If anyone is interested, I stumbled upon a slip up by 4Kids while rewatching the series recently. During the Battle City finals, right before they draw the numbers for the first two duelists, there’s a shot of everyone (except for Marik, Odion, and Kaiba) looking at the lottery machine. If you look at Bakura’s arm (he’s in the upper right side of the shot), you can see the blood stain on the bandage from the stab wound. Any other time during the finals the bandage is completely white (where they edited out the blood).
WOW i didn't expect to see so much censored scenes from the yugioh and even thee missing parts from some episodes, that was a huge surprise
I know.. It's alot to take in at once haha
Can you please talk more about Season Zero? And its take on the manga series while comparing it to Duel Monsters?
I actually think I'll be making a top 10 darkest moments from the manga/Season 0 video very soon! =)
Well I thought that the German dub was made from 4 kids but the most scenes you described were in the German dub
One of the silliest changes was in the Yugi vs Kaiba duel at the Duelist Kingdom tournament. In the original Kaiba said he'd take a step backward for ever 100 points of damage he'd receive (basically implying he'd commit suicide if his LP reached 0). In the dub he claimed the shockwave from the attack would throw him off the building. A shockwave? from a hologram?
9:26 I wondered why his sprite in Duel Links was sticking his tongue out, didn't remember that from the Anime....now I know why!
I'm sad that the *"Shadow Realm"* wasn't a real thing. 😖😖😖😩😩😩😭😭😭
I was stunned when I found out too.. Definitely upsetting lol
I gotta admit though, the field spell irl is seriously op
It's was a word so vial, so foul it had to be censored twice just to get through standards and practices. Now it just says FINAL.What did it say before?DISNEY.
Thnx for that info u shared us for the fan of Yugioh
Great video. The only thing that I didn’t mind had to be the outfit change on the harpy ladies. Either outfit was nice.
Even in other yugioh series punching is still censored
Can you di an episode on why 5ds got cut down
3:32 and the winged dragon of ra is also there if you haven't noticed
are you ever gonna do another fantasy duel video?
17:02 Punctuality. My Achilles heel.
