    So this is from Magic: the Gathering, not yugioh, but one of my favourite mistranslations is the card Descend Upon the Sinful, which when translated into french mistakenly used the word "'pêcheurs" for sinful instead of "pécheurs".
    So the cards name in French instead reads as "Descend Upon the Fishermen"

      This just screams for a UN-Set card.
      (For those unaware: The UN-Sets are joke cards with sometimes experimental often times absurd effects, like Chaos Confetti which requires you to tear the card into pieces.)
      Some favourites of mine are:
      1) Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental
      That is the name of the card. It loops all around the entire border.
      2) Animate Library
      This card lets you play your deck ... as a monster. The Attack (Power) and health become the amount of cards in your deck.
      3) THE ENTIRE AUGMENT MECHANIC
      These are a set of cards, which are host and augment monsters, created in such a way that if you overlap the cards, they form a compound monster, combining the trigger, effect, creature type and even the artwork. And you can mix and match various monsters.
      Such as:
      [Zombified] + (eager) [Beaver] = Zombified Beaver
      [Multi-Headed] + (common) [Iguana] = Multi-Headed Iguana
      And ofcourse the unstoppable: [Half Kitten Half-] (adorable) [Kitten] = Half Kitten Half-Kitten [Sidenote: YES. The creature type of this card is: "Cat Cat"]

    man disappointed that no one brought out that bls in french got translated as "knight of the black candleholder" because SOMEHOW the translater thought that it was that kind of "luster" the card name was referring to
    another fun one is that Treeborn frog in french for a long time didn't had "frog" in it's name (was called rainette, which is a great pun tbh) which meant that on top of having "excluding frog the jam" every frog card ALSO had "but including treeborn frog" adding like an entire line to almost every frog's effect

German decided to translate the Latin into "Die Schildkröte war göttlich"/"Göttlich war die Schildkröte" ("The turtle was divine"/"Divine was the turtle") Everyone else has to learn Latin to understand the lore of this turtle, but the german translation team found it very important to give it to us straight that this turtle used to be divine.
    also, "Reverse Buster", random packfiller that busts reverse (=face-down) monsters, was translated into german with "buster" not as in "destroyer" but as in "what an old person calls a young troublemaker" to "Umkehrbursche" ("reverse lad") Through a couple layers of abstraction he's basically gone from "face-down destroyer" to "buddy who turns things around"

    I have to spit out a bunch of Italian translation issues here right now. Excluding stuff already mentioned by other commenters:
    -The original translation of V-Jet Tiger's flavor text that interpreted the reference to dogfighting as in actual dogs fighting
    -Naturia Eggplant that interpreted the "Eggplant" part as an egg that is also a plant
    -Dragonmaid Sheou keeping the English name while all the other ones had their anagram names properly redone (I think it's because the word they chose to translate House Dragonmaid could potentially include the N-word when you shuffle the letters around)
    -In fact, Dragonmaids were all mistranslated as Dragondamsels ("Dragonzella")
    -Miracle Kids being translated as "Miraculous boy" despite not only the English name was plural but Hero Kid was made into a girl
    -And also all those card names that in Italy somehow dodged censorship, such as Des Kangaroo and Barrel Dragon being reverted to their original Japanese names of Death Kangaroo and Revolver Dragon or TY-PHON being called a "Super Starmurderer"
    -Also, remember Ill Blud? Well, for some reason they decided to call him Galeogrugno, which basically means "Pug-faced convict".

    While we can (and should) laught at bad translations, we need to keep in mind that in many cases, especially before the brand was established, translators would only be given the text itself with little to no context, and strict daily quotas to meet. This could explain mistranslations such as "light" becoming "not heavy", and "donkey" being misread as "monkey". Italy seems especially prone to this, as the demand for translation is very high and English literacy is relatively low.
