- The biggest change by far for us in 2019 was finding a franchise outside of Nintendo to talk about on my channel. Let's open the New Year right by talking about some messed up censors, bans, and hilarious localizations from Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Check THIS out!"
okay, so how bad- oh. That WAS the flavor text.
As someone who plays Mekk-knights. I am kinda pissed that they left out an piece of Lore of the World legacy cards. Which is huge and expansive, basically an RPG plotline.
there are other inter-archetype stories told through yugioh cards but the world chalice story is my favorite cause I've literally been there to watch it since the world chalice cards came out in 2017-then krawlers, and mekk-knights, and the various extra deck evolutions of those cards which were all normal monsters, to orcusts which are basically the final battle of the story. Would be cool of there was one more piece to the story with another archetype, but I think it's pretty complete. I've read on the yugioh wiki the only explanation I could think of for this change. Since konami likes to reference their own properties in yugioh cards, Avram might be saying this because he bears a passing resemblance to Pit of kid icarus fame, who allegedly uses that as a catchphrase. But it's such a tangential connection, and such an awful change considering how important that bit if flavor text is to cluing people in on Avram's role.
Reminds me of when they changed the card names too "That Wacky Magic" and "Magical Something"
@@SakuraAvalon or how any and all cards with "-roid" at the end of the name is considered a Vehicroid monster.
This includes a monster named Dark Jeroid. Which isn't supposed to be a Vehicroid but is considered one because of the "-roid" suffix.
Best one is this old card that searches out one of the Guardian Monster's(Elma, Eatos, etc), but had an 'except Celtic Guardian, Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress' and others. Eventually they had to change how they cut them out.
"Japan saw a flat chest and said "no""
Bruh 😂
flat is justice
Hentai in a *NUT* shell
That's a religion I can get behind.
Ya know what? Based.
It's obvious that the localizers were just having fun with Joey's World's cards, lol.
Brooklyn RAGE!
The cards were insanely out of date. Besides Alligator Sword, they were only added to finally put them in the TCG. I imagine the Joey dialogue was to make them fit, and to give people a reason to be happy pulling them.
@@SakuraAvalon That is true, but I still can't imagine the localizers not having fun putting in Joey's commentary, lol. Why else would someone think of doing something that silly?
Daniel Coffman True. I would love it if they did more cards in that Joey text.
Yeah some of them were odd.
“In the ENGLISH show for BABIES”
This line delivery killed me
After all these years, it's still amazes me on how much censorship is in the Yugioh franchise.
And in most cases, I laugh.
"If you don't surrender, we'll POINT at you!"
@@TheDanishGuyReviews No no no, you got it wrong! They were about to use Yusuke's Spirit Gun.
To be fair though, Yugioh was for pretty young kids... and Japan is willing to show different things to kids than in the West... btw, some Japanese people thought that Detective Pikachu might be a Pokemon movie for adults.... so culture values are different.
But, I like the fact that even when they censored it, they did a good job and still made the cards great art pieces. It's still worth keeping.
Yeah, I stopped watching the franchise after 5D's after how badly that series in particular was butchered.
@TheDeathmail
Not really "pretty young kids", the target demographic is 12+. Pokemon is aimed at a slightly younger one, 6-7+ I believe so it makes a bit more sense there.
The big thing is that a lot of the localization was handled by 4Kids, which was known for making bizarre changes, to the point they obviously were going above and beyond what was necessary.
If you think YuGiOh's is weird, you should see their work in One Piece.
Can't have a guillotine.
However, a woman cornered by a murderer OR WORSE? That's fine.
or worse, its worse
A beautiful poem? "Check This OUT!"
It's "Check THIS out!" with the emphasis on the "THIS".
Getting the point across with as few words as necessary is a great writing skill.
In this case it's about how Avram has really cool weapons now. You can leave the rest to your imagination.
What irks me the most is that Mekk-Knight Avram depicts such a heartfelt moment in the World Chalice storyline. It's a nice, Xenoblade-esque story of a boy and his companions trying to save the world, with awesome artwork to back it up. The original text alludes to the symbolic origins of Avram weapon and foreshadows the trials he will face in the future, and it shamefully got left out of one of the ONLY flavor texts released in 2018.
I think that's the entire effect for Chosen by the World Chalice, Auram The World Chalice Blade Master, Mekk-Knight Avram, Crusdaia Maximus and Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avram.
I know I annoyingly spew out that phrase anytime I summon out any Avram or Auram duel monster.
@@mageside That's fair. I suppose it's especially fitting if you bust out the last two for high attack pushes.
3:53 so they
Reverse censored the card
Outstanding move
Based Elevens.
Konami Japan: You activated my trap card!
*_*Plays Uno Reverse card*_*
I mean, flat-chested women exist, too...
I’m going to take a stab and say that the boobed version was the original, but the flat chest version was used for the international. While the boobed version was kept for the Japan release the year later. That’s the only way it makes sense to me.
So we going to forget that Jwittz was rapping in a Smash Bros Cypher last year
And Pokemon Cypher 2019
you wot
Hes been the Cypher's Eminem for a while now
They always sleeping on me
*BUT THEY'RE THE ONES GETTING RESTED*
Lol, that's nothing, 10 years ago he did a parody of Eminem's "We Made You" (back in the Profit days). Not sure if it's still up in his channel though.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not a YuGiOh guy. I never grew up watching it or playing the card game, I was too busy doing the same with Pokemon. That said, every video from this year has been pretty great. I've been here for a while now, and this is by far the best year I've seen on this channel. Thanks for a great 2019 Jwittz, and here's to a great 2020
Come again?
What a great 2020
Not gonna lie, seeing some Digimon content would be pretty hype
Especially the v-pets.
Same, but I'd rather not if it isn't his thing or he isn't passionate to make it.
@MagamisZon T-that's not how the word meme works...
@MagamisZon
How's it dead if they're still making games and anime for it?
The only place its remotely close to being "dead" is in the west, its still fairly popular in Japan.
@@ZombieBarioth And then there was Cyber Sleuth that was popular enough in the west to get the switch remastered port
The OG art design for parasite paracide was something I could have gone my entire life without ever needing to see. Thanks Jwitz. Thanks so much
*a lot
I read the yugioh manga first so i was kinda jumpscared thanks to it not being censored there.
I’m so hyped for digimon, the anime was slept on, you can talk about that. The third series was the best
That one was my favorite too
No
I find it horrifying that the ocg art of wattcanel implies that ojama yellow has normal eye holes despite them being on his stalks. HOW DID THEY GET THERE
Upwards
9:20 Fun fact: in the Italian dub, Marik and Weevil have the same voice actor. Yes.
Cant wait for the next episode of 'To catch a predator' where Chris Hansen asks Bastion to 'take a seat'
I saw a fan comic with Aang and Katara meeting Chris Hansen. It's pretty funny.
The international version of the Cure Master actually saved us from that nightmare illustration.
Definitely that would have been unpleasant they really made the right move with that one
I always thought the Cure Master was a guy.
Oh well.
@@Powoga SAAAAAME
@@Powoga I as well.
Dude! Her hand's on backwards too! Look at Tragedy's artwork closer, the knob on the wrist, is usually seen at the top, when you're looking at the back of your hand. The camera shouldn't be able to see that knob and the palm of her had at the same time.
5:10 “No you don’t understand she’s actually like 150 she just looks like an 8 year old I swear!”
Breath of the wild huh
"That's what they all say pal"
Hopefully we can see some more Yugioh Anime stuff outside the Original series. And more Yugioh content in general.
Also Beast King Barbaros is getting a retrain.
Sean Bird Is it really? 😮
Nimesh Chokshi Yup! I think it’s called Beast Lord Barbaros. Look it up on the Yugioh SubReddit, It should be there.
@@nimeshchokshi1921 ygorganization is a pretty reliable source for yugioh news as well, they translate and post whenever a new card(s) or product(s) is announced.
@@nimeshchokshi1921 and it's actually a pretty solid card
iBenjamin1000 I know about that site. I just didn’t know Barbaros was getting a retrain.
This needs to be the Yugioh equivalent of your Pokédex entry series. The GX episode where they changed alcohol to hot sauce needs to be in the next one.
You also should do more digging into the manga, particularly the story of how Seto Kaiba got his three Blue-Eyes White Dragons and Death-T. I also suggest looking into Yugioh R.
I might have been razed as a way to innocent kid becuase I had never made the connection between the hot sause and alcohol until someone literally explained that's what it was 😂
lol, they even did the "joey translation" in duel link.
Joey reminds me of the one from *friends*
Honestly, whenever our TCG exclusives get imported to Japan and they change the art, I swear I can hear Kazuki Takahashi laughing at us from his prison cell in Konami HQ.
"Joey's little D"- Jwittz 2019
The weird Ness main so is red eyes his big D.
@@gabrieldevoogel6225 Would you like to try this once more but in English?
"Nothing I can add to that! It just writes itself!"
Me, someone who just binged the first 4 Alien movies: “Oh it’s like a chestburster and a facehugger mixed together”
Josh: *Makes that exact comparison*
Everyone else: "Dian Keto had more revealing artwork in the Japanese release?"
Me: "Wait, Dian Keto was FEMALE?!"
I always thought Dian Keto looked like a pious old man.
I was thinking the same.
I always assumed it was s middleage man
What kind of middle aged or elderly men did you two see to think that way there?
i always thought she was some kind of elderly man with a judge hairstyle
L33DFL4X0R same
It should be named "Diane" with an "E"..
Heads-up about Digimon: the card game rules were heavily altered from the Japanese version. There was a reason it didn't work out.
We'll be talking about that!
@@TheJWittz Awesome! If you know anything about how/why it got that botched (aside from "never trust UDE to print an actual card GAME"), hit us with that, too.
Me: Completely calm for most of the video.
Also me: Flips out and starts jumping around and shouting "YES! YES! YES!" the instant the Digimon card appears.
_Today i learned that Dian Keto was not a man._
Happy New Year JWittz, this was an incredible year. Take care of yourself!
Rai-Mei wasn't the only one. The other one that comes to mind is Alich, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss. That card was a TCG-Exclusive as well. She got her chest plate (from the international version) swapped for one that shows her underboob. My mind was blown away when I saw this, because it made me realize that Konami must already have both international and "Japanese" artworks regardless of release date.
"Hey! Mah little 'D' is my bizness! Don' go tellin' dat junk 'bout mah junk!" -Joey, probably
Jwittz is my favorite new Yugituber. Never thought I'd be able to say that, but here we are.
Waiting for the day he puts a Millennium Puzzle in his background.
Or just adds it to his avatar
He might become my fave Yugituber once Yugioh Abridged finishes
He could even keep the trainer outfit. Just add something Yu-Gi-Oh related, like the background having the Eye of Wdjat.
It's like jwittz knew I needed this content
The "hot sauce" episode of Yugioh GX is a gold mine of censorship and wacky localizing. Sure, 4kids, that tiger is stumbling about because he's dizzy.
"We be on time to get home to have dinner
WHICH WILL BE HOT SAUCE I MIGHT ADD"
Of course those two adults are just drinking cups of hot sauce, and we totally gave a cat a saucer of hot sauce. Nothing bad about that.
I really hope no kids tried to drink hot sauce like that, or feed their pets it.
(Bastian fantasizes about his card waifu in his room)
(Knock knock) FBI OPEN UP!!!
I think the card is a lolli
Georgie A Hence I suppose that’s what he defines as “posh” in his mind.
To me, I say unto him, “Why don’t you have a seat right over here?”
White Magician Pikeru to be exact.
I’m surprised Josh didn’t go for the dubbed release having had the peculiar censoring of Yugi’s mother from existing outside of a single scene.
Lol right when this popped up i was watching the second to last episode of the 5D’s signer arc.
It's not bad though.
Even as a kid, I knew that Roman took off his own arm and and and it was in that container. For Rex to attach.
I think everyone gives the censorship to much backlash.
I mean what really changes with or without the censor.
@@darryljack6612 even eye when 12 conened the dots mind atlest roman did off sence in both atlest it not revolver lost his arm twice on scene
That feeling when Japan literally anti-censores original card so that the previous art seems like it was censored...
great editing and content as usual bro, so glad i found your channel and cant wait to see what you bring to us in 2020!
I'm a simple guy. I see a Jwitz Yugioh video and I click.
Also freaking Harpie Girl was initially uncensored in TCG. But it was very quickly censored.
I think I have both versions of that one.
I have a feeling that the Japanese Raimei art was the original, but a weird scheduling thing occurred, causing the altered art to be released first.
man I really love those videos, it's really interesting and funny to look at localization and censorship. sometimes it's dumb like watt-cancel and sometimes we have pearls like tragedy, bravo
My best guess about Watt Cancel is that they didn’t want people to be confused. It’s a card that goes with a Watt deck, yet it shows an Ojama on the artwork
"Check THIS out!"
"Ah like yer attitude!"
same energy
Start of the Jwitz decade: "Profit Episode 1 Part 1: The Structure Deck"
End of the Jwitz decade: "10 MORE Crazy Yu-Gi-Oh! Censors & Localizations"
Here's to the next 10 years of card game trivia!
The case with the "reverse censorship" more likely seems like the original design was the Japanese artwork but the Japanese print release would've been after the international due to something like behind-closed-doors deals between the TCG and OCG regarding exclusive release timings.
Literally my favorite series on your channel! What a way to start 2020 :D
Happy New year to everybody reading this
Red Archery Girl was censored while her toon counterpart stayed the same
Also why at watt cancel's artwork Ojama Yellow has eye holes in his skull?
that's how the eyeball cords go to his brain
I would love to see more of these from the 4kids era. As someone who is reading though ultimate muscle and seeing ALL the differences it would be cool to see you do more of these differences be it just for Yu-Gi-Oh or Digimon or anything.
I would love to see Digimon content on here
Thanks for another year of excellent content!
Love you jwittz, your videos have helped me through a lot. Have a happy new years
2:18 Somebody's gonna need to tell Little Kuriboh about this...
I'm gonna need more of this, like a lot more of this
Bowen Orcutt We all should tell LK about this.
Konami Localizing mystic Tomato: let's make it go from a Jack o Lantern Tomato to an Ahegao Tomato
Happy early New Year, JWittz! You picked a good time to cover the Yugioh TCG again. We just got a new Master Rule announced that makes a lot of older strategies playable, and the 7th Yugioh anime is starting next year.
Aaaaaaand the digimon theme is now in my head for the next month. THANKS JWITTZ
1:43 I thought he was bringing emphasis to the card text, *not actually reading it!*
If there really will be Digimon content
we will watch it and we will like it.
*sees Digimon card at the end* OMG i’m soooo ready for that as a digimon fan, 2020 content cannot come fast enough for me now that i know he plans to cover digimon content.
As a longtime Digimon fan who never had a chance to try the card game(s), I would *love* to see a video series about them.
Yoooo I'm so hyped for digimon content next year. I hope it does well especially the OG stuff. I still binge watch season 1 and 2 from time to time cuz it's so good lol
Did you binge the Japanese version? The music is SO GOOD.
@@darkglass3011 I still prefer the english dubs and the music just for the sake of nostalgia; buy I won't lie that I blast Butter-fly and Brave Heart in the car as I head down the highway.
Kaiba: You killed me D:
Yugi: Good :D
is this zelda cdi reference?
@@drpramudeka111 eyup :)
Ending the year off with a Yugioh video is great. My favorite franchise besides Pokemon and I'll gladly welcome more in 2020!
Joey's little d had me rolling. Happy new year, and I'm enjoying the ygo content!
I can't wait for the day when you get to 4Kids censoring the existence of Yugi's mom for some bizarre reason. I'm also hyped for Digimon!
"Commenters don't understand Yugioh's Cencorship"
Even Dzeef doesn't understand it.
Jockingly stalled for time
Happy New Year and amazing vid, amigo
Jwittz yugioh content is always a blast to watch!
I’ll probably be the only one to request this, but would love to see a Billiam cameo if you do make some digimon videos
in my entire life of playing TCGs as a kid, i never saw Digimon cards. lol
The only cards that I ever got were promotional character cards that came with the vhs.
I owned a bunch. Never used them.
I still have my digimon cards lol cant wait for his video
Happy new year Jwittz. Please keep up the videos
I'd love to learn about Digimon cards. Never knew they existed. I'd love to see Magic/Key Forge done too. Thank you Jwittz for a great 2019
I for one welcome our immortal digital overlords
Digimon will rule the universe
For a second there I thought he was going to reveal Magic
I knooooow. :c I wanted it. I wanted it so bad.
😭
Happy new year!
See you next decade!!
It’s been fun watching you!!!
The part with marik really shows how og yugioh was inspired by JOJO'S. the various games in the manga really capture what great about the mind game that can happen in jojo but makes u feel more invested because it's like a puzzle you are given the pieces to solve so when see you were right it feels great
In the English version chumly says it reminds him of his girlfriend.
10:03
I feel like maybe it has something to do with the eye sockets in the skull, since Ojama Yellow doesn't actually have eyes there.
They might've changed it just because it didn't make sense or because they didn't want people making conspiracy theories or creepypasta about it.
Still doesn't make much sense to me, but that's the best I can think of.
This was fun!
Also love the Kid Pix joke. Been awhile since I have last heard of it.
Okay now that was great. It was really freaking funny. Well with that Happy New Year.
*I wear an police office outfit and see Tea photos collect it and walk away*
I’m collecting evidence...
That's why I saw every yugioh seasons in Japanese version without even touch the English one xD
I’m so ready for more Digimon related content! 🙌🏼
Digimon was my entire childhood, and continues into my adulthood. Please, Mr. Wittz. Please
Yes. Fall into the hole that is Digimon. I've been here for over a DECADE
When are we gonna tackle the grandaddy of card games. Mtg?
Yes! Please do at least one video on Digimon cards. Great video as always, keep up the great work :)
First video I watch in 2020. Having spent the last 4 weeks rewatching all of Digimon season 1 and (currently) 2/3 of season 2, looking forward to rewatch Adventure Tri to Hype up for Last Evolution Kizuna, I for one will definatly stick around for any Digimon related content you might put out.
JWittz you mean you’re going to add Magic the Gathering next
Syrus likes cat girls - I figured as much for someone like him
Chumley like Dian Keto cause it reminds him of his mom - well I guess we know his fetish
Bastion bashes the two for their waifu cards while admitting his own - yeah Bastion....why don’t you take a seat right there ...
Happy New Year, JWittz!
I really want Joey’s voice actor to read the flavor texts on those cards 😂
FTC: You’ve been fined
Oh I'm all for some Digimon videos. xD I've been loving the Yu-Gi-Oh! stuff already too.
Happy New year Josh!
I'm actually really glad you dipped your toe into yugioh! My parents got me a dvd box set for Christmas and I'm a pokemon fan lol but now I'm glad to try getting more into the series more than I did as a kid. Keep rapping and keep making great content! 🙏🏿
ALSO PLEASE TALK ABOUT DIGIMON I GREW UP WITH THAT SERIES TOO 😭
I will be so happy if you did a video on Digimon. Still one of my favorite things from my childhood.
Beyond excited for some potential Digimon content. Digimon was a staple for me growing up, and I have memories of willingly waking up at 6 am on Saturdays to watch the new episodes of 02.
Man, I can’t wait for The JWittz to educate me on the Digimon Trading Card Game!
Have fun learning the Digimon card game.
And thanks for all the fun vids JWittz
