There is something positively 4Kids about them removing the guns, but EXPLICITLY ADDING an assassination plot point.
A new anecdote to share about the dub for sure. No one ever noticed this before as far as I remember.
I thought it was pretty well known that the dub is actually kinda messed up at times. Despite trying to censor a lot, they often add disturbing implications or new stakes and the times when something crazy does happen stings a lot more due to the usual tone not desensitizing the audience to dark moments.(Or that one time in GX where a certain character died from his heart stopping and...er, the japanese version 4K-censored themselves by saying "that entire plotline last season? never happened, the chars just misunderstood", while the dub played it straight that far but cut out said retcon by not dubbing the season it was in.)
@@lpfan4491 GX had an entire school, with foreign exchange students, up and disappear into another dimension in the third season. In the second season, the school was taken over by a cult worshipping the Light of Ruin from deep space (if I remember the lore correctly). This is the same force that turned Yubel from vaguely yandere spirit to "let's merge all the dimensions and rule forever" whackadoodle spirit. The first season had a different cult that caused the disappearance of one student and the deaths of the rest of that dorm. And that cult was full of duel spirits, an achient pharaoh, a vampire lady, a humunculus, and said missing student who had been brainwashed.
GX was waaaaaaaaay more off the rails then "that time Zane Truesdale was doing the Yu-Gi-Oh! equivalent of cage fighting where everytime you lose LP you get shocked violently".
@@Maria.Annette Why are you specifying that to me? If anything, putting it into perspective makes it even more rediculous that the people over in japan felt the need to censor that event after it had already been shown.
Killing is fine as long as you don't use guns- looking at you, 4Kids Shaman King. Stabbing people with spears? Great. Guns that shoot angels rather than bullet? Quick, make it a funnel!
24:43: "Kaiba! We're respecting your privacy by knocking, but asserting our authority as your kidnappers by coming in anyway!"
*killers
it's pretty clear they were going to actually kill that guy in the 4kids dub
The lengths Kaiba goes to avoid admitting Yugi got a lucky draw is amazing. Dude just can't admit a game with a shuffled deck might have an element of chance.
Okay honestly, the "I hope so, you're twice his size!" line is really funny
"I could probably beat up that child yeah"
"Dude youre contemplating whether you could beat up a 2nd grader"
I like that in the dub Kaiba’s first resort when confronted by conflict was to throw himself out of a building. Without the context of him having guns trained on him he looks completely mad.
"You'll never take me alive!" Lmao.
to be fair he was broken at this point: he was literally trying to rebuild his own mind and souls. The reason the company was in trouble is because he wasn't in a fit state to do anything
@@velvetbutterfly The "He wasn't in a fit state to do anything" argument kinda falls flat when the Anime literally shows him make the reasonable decision to appoint Mokuba CEO in his absence (albeit only in JP) and also we see him LITERALLY finish up the Holographic Duel Disk Prototype when he gets confronted by Pegasus' Goons.
@@Tykiari okay, maybe the "anything" was too far but he appointed Mokuba as CEO because he wasn't able to make decisions for the good of the company and recognized that. He had a personal mission could only focus on things related to that mission
It's just so weird to me that they actively took away Yami Yugi's impressive skills with reading people and just explained it instead as "Yeah he's got soul reading powers."
I mean...why not?
And like, this wasn’t just a really shoddy translation, they ADDED a little eye on his forehead in order to signify his soul reading powers. They specifically changed that plot point.
I feel there should be something mentioned with the infamous "angry finger-pointing" scene. With the goon on the right, 4Kids actually drew in an extra finger over where the gun was so he would be pointing. But if you look closely, the goon's index finger that was on the gun's trigger is still there, meaning they made him have FIVE fingers on top of this thumb.
I count 5 fingers in both versions, but you're correct in that the index finger on the gun remains unchanged even though it contextually must be his middle finger in the English version.
They removed his pinky, so it's still five fingers, just now all the fingers move one space over essentially
You don't stand a _ghost_ of a chance against the gun edits, Gamechamp.
Interesting that in the JP version they say they were only there to lock him up, but also the dude actually fires his gun in what was presumably an attempt to kill him rather than let him flee.
Then in EN they're unarmed, but...
ngl, the "i hope so, you're twice his size" line in the dub got a chuckle out of me, the inflection was great
One trend I’ve noticed in these differences is JP trying to create a cohesive viewing atmosphere, while EN tries to hook viewers and frantically keep their attention. Very obvious when they add dialogue to shots that were otherwise silent (especially Mokuba early on here).
Also I genuinely wonder if that bit about Kaiba missing a piece of himself was from the dubbers reading the manga and choosing to add back in a plot point the anime removed, or if it's just the wildest coincidence ever. Cos seriously that's SUCH specific phrasing, if they restored a sideplot entirely by accident that's honestly impressive!
Probably coincidence
Being a fan of YGO Abridged back in the day, I definitely thought of the "Invisible guns" joke the second I saw the thumbnail.
Between Yugi thinking about sneaking into the castle to free grandpa in an earlier episode and changing them ridiculing Mokuba for theft into inviting Mokuba to take on pegasus with them there's a trend in the 4kids version for the good guys to think more pragmatically when dealing with pegasus which I think is pretty interesting.
Granted they can't actually do any of that as they're bound by the original plot, so they bring it up to our attention but never follow through which may be worse than not bringing it up at all.
Yea i like some of the changes in the eng dub
My favorite change is how they did the Yugi vs Mai duel. It makes little sense in the manga why Yugi struggles, but in the eng anime Yugi’s struggling because he’s wrestling for control with Atem because in their last duel he tried to kill Kaiba against his wishes
Yeah, they way they spoke to mokuba in english made more since for trying to get a young kid to listen along.
They definitely come off as a bit pretentious, making the good guys more holier-than-thou and the bad guys are a bit more goofy than they're supposed to be in the Japanese version.
@@tomato2517 what are you talking about? The reason why Yami Yugi was struggling against Mai was because he wasn’t taking her seriously.
A recurring theme in Duelist Kingdom was how conceited the Pharaoh was in his skills. That was his “weakness” and what caused Yugi’s grandfather to be captured in the first place.
Fun fact! It might not be stated until a couple episodes later, but Pointy Hair grunt does actually have a name in Japanese. It’s Saruwatari; it was given in the manga during the pre-Duelist Kingdom stuff.
Also, congrats on getting to the guns! Can’t wait for more!
She mentioned in this video that he only doesn't have a name "at this point"
@@demothiguillermo2059 Nah, I'm aware. Was more just a fun fact. I'm pretty sure Saruwatari's name is mentioned in a couple episodes anyway, and the fact that he used to work for Kaiba. Although in the anime, how long he was a spy for Industrial Illusions is unclear (he was always a spy in the manga, believe it or not. Still held the gang at gunpoint during Death-T though. Saruwatari don't play games, man!)
@@Just-Dan Attention Duelists my hair would like to make a littlekuriboh reference
It's funny how much early Yugi's strategy is basically "just have faith that we draw the rare instant win cards".
I mean, when you consider that the actual, canonical ability of the millennium puzzle is to manipulate probability, yeah, it makes sense that his strategy would be to wait to draw the instant win cards
@@noelleholiday61 While I never really watched the series I thought the Millennium Puzzle's true power was letting an ancient pharaoh/the-best-card-player-in-all-of-ancient-Egypt take control of a person's body whenever they are playing cards. Cuz if Yugi's lying about the heart of the cards, and the show is actually about how one kid uses a lucky charm to B.S. a bunch of "adults" into believing cards have a will of their own, then... well then I was wrong. I might have been wrong about not watching the show.
@@castonyoung7514 well it's a belief Solomon passed down, it's about treating cards with respect, not that they are truly alive. However with all of Japan's minor Kami and Yokai and other spiritual beings it's not beyond the realm of possibility for some people to believe their cards could gain a soul, or heart, over time.
The truth is cards are based off of real monsters, some are based off of real people, like Dark Magician was the Pharaoh's best friend. So in a way some have a heart or some strange connection they feel close to.
But when people day "Heart of the Cards" in terms of Yugi drawing the cards he needs at the perfect time, it's referring to the Destiny Draw as some call it. Where magic manipulates the order of the remaining cards to give him something that will help. It's not like the Shining Draw from later series that literally makes up cards, but rather Yugi's Destiny Draw works like "this is a tight spot, if I just had one of these 5 cards I could buy myself more time"
And one of those 5 cards would randomly be selected to help. Which is why he seems to get better draws in more desperate situations.
If only a single card has a chance of helping, that single card is the only thing his magic will bring to him.
However, since Yugi doesn't even know about the Magic himself, it's possible that's why its so limited. Perhaps if he knew he could actively use it to get any card he wanted at any point
@@castonyoung7514 the spirit of the pharaoh is sealed inside the puzzle, but that's not the ability of the puzzle. Like the Ring, with it's spirit inside but it's ability being to tap into the Shadow Realm and bring the monsters to life.
@@castonyoung7514 If it was that, then how does Bakura do the same thing with his own spirit in a Millenium item?
What the puzzle does is pretty much a massive luck boost, it allows the user to pull a card that they feel they need at the moment.
Always a pleasure to see you do this passion project, knowing it's a money sink.
We made it to Invisible Guns!
Gotta love *_"THE FINGER."_*
Now when are we going to make it to the shadow realm?
Money sink? He can fight the copyright claims
This is the best content on the channel. I wish they would do more frequently
@@HistoryandReviews it's just that it's usually in place of a VG Myths video, which is *significantly* more popular.
also, Gamechamp uses she/her pronouns.
It’s interesting to me that the dub *added* a plot point about Kaiba being in a strange place mentally due to the mind crush.
Because in the manga, that really was a plot point. The duel between Yugi and Kaiba was after Kaiba had done a *lot* of evil stuff to get revenge on Yugi. The mind crush was explicitly to break the evil part of Seto’s mind, and allow him to rebuild himself as a better person. Seto was actually in a *coma* after the duel in the manga, and him still being in that state is part of why Mokuba was so angry with Yugi, and why the deal for Kaibacorp started (can’t have a guy in a coma as head of the company).
The manga even has that bit about Seto missing a piece of himself. The implication being that is his love for his brother. Mokuba being captured causes Seto to wake up from his coma a continent away, and when the two reunite at the end of the arc, we see a young Kaiba finish the puzzle of his heart that he started building when Yugi mind crushed him.
The manga even had a different context for the upcoming duel. It was against a puppeteer who claimed that Seto had died in his coma, and he was channeling his angry spirit though a puppet. . And it was only during that battle that we see Seto wake up in his hospital bed
So, kinda like the Mako’s father thing last time, the dub, seemingly accidentally, created a story that mirrored parts of the original story.
Even without the context of something vaguely similar going on in the manga, it is very easy to consider the idea the dub had here as a lot better. Of course it is a direct lead in to the duel against a literal part of Kaiba removed from him, but it also just makes more sense on a deeper level in the text. The company is not in a bind because dude lost literally once, but rather because he is completely besides himself and is legitimately not in a state of mind where he can manage anything. It also has surprisingly good synergy with the lore added in the later arcs(Specifically virtual world), to the point where I legitimately wish these details were actually in the original japanese series.
this reminds me of how in yugi vs kaiba atop the roof, when celtic guardian is about to attack ultimate dragon, the dub adds a cut-in of the two yugis splitting apart and then he yells "STOP!" which is closer to how it reads in the manga version of that moment which even has a similar panel of the yugis splitting, as opposed to the japanese version of the anime where there is no such cut-in and yugi just falls to the ground silently, and celtic guardian just sort of...gives up and stops running of his own accord
and yet it's still not the best version of the scene because they also completely reversed téa's thought process when she's running up to him to "he looks so conflicted like he's struggling to do the right thing", from the original which i find more dramatic and compelling where it's instead "he looks completely resolved, that means the other yugi has actually decided to go through with potentially killing kaiba"...which would also tie better into the mini-arc of little yugi distrusting big yugi that, again, 4kids added ??? uyuyuy
I think part of the issue there is that the manga's first 7 volumes when that happened weren't really adapted into the main anime, but rather the season 0 iteration. Episode 1 kind of truncates the Death-T arc battle and Kaiba's coma so it all feels more abrupt.
You know, for all the incomprehensible changes that the English dub made, I think that the scene where Pegasus negotiates with Kaiba Corp's board is actually an improvement. Like the Japanese dialogue makes no sense, in what world would a board of directors accept an offer from the CEO of a different company to simply *transfer all their shares to him* with nothing in it for them? Sure, Pegasus promises to restore Kaiba Corp's reputation, but they wouldn't even benefit from that because they would have just given all their shares away for free.
The English dialogue, where the board proposes a merger while they keep their shares but instate Pegasus as the new CEO, makes actual sense. I guess leave it to the Americans to miss the point of almost everything except for when the stock market is involved lmao
As always, the truth of the perfect DM-anime lies somewhere between the original and the dub.
@@lpfan4491 so true
Localization
@@bluebaron6858 you can't just say localization
Japanese is a high context language. It would be unspoken on what Pegasus is offering the board, but it is generally agreed that he would either keep them or pay them the proper amount. To force Pegasus to state outright that he do that is considered rude as he is essentially their guest. Japanese business is big on mutual respect. If they gave Pegasus their shares and he would do something to screw them over, he would ultimately screw himself over as he would be seen as untrustworthy and disrespectful in Japan's eyes.
Of course Pegasus IS an American, so....
I didn't notice until halfway through this video that Mokuba and Naruto share the same JP voice actress.
I also find it interesting that JP Pegasus used the English "boy" instead of a Japanese honorific. I used to think the English dubbing team just came up with that to give Pegasus some unique speaking mannerism, but it's adapted directly from the original.
Oh yeah Pegasus loves calling Yugi "Yugi boy", he refuses to call him anything different
I once saw a video where someone compared JP pegasus's mannerisms to someone randomly sprinkling foreign words into their english because they think that's how you learn that language but JP pegasus's first language is presumably still english which makes him sprinkling english into his japanese despite seemingly being fluent in japanese even weirder.
@@appelofdoom8211 Nani the hell? That's hilarious! Domo arigato for sharing that with me.
@@appelofdoom8211 Yes, his whole gimmick is that his eccentrics during speech come half from his personality and half from him not being used to speaking japanese. However, because these were clearly japanese people making the show, it is very noticable that Pegasus is clearly more proficiant in japanese than english.(Remember, the god card-text that ranges from mediocre to engrish was written by him and is in english because it never received a japanese localization.) To be entire fair, this kind of stuff has also been a factor in the official mangas, but it is still very silly.
@@appelofdoom8211 I am from Serbia and many people use random english words when they talk even thought they are fluent in serbian. So no it isn't that weird for a non-english country. I know a guy from France and he told me the same thing(He brought it up first). Also I hear it from my friends and strangers that I happened to hear while walking.
For that first one about Mokuba, if you take it into greater context, you actually realize that Croquet's polite mannerisms is done in kind of a sarcastic way. Because Pegasus calls him an honored guest and pretends to act graciously and like a polite host when he's ultimately treating Mokuba exactly like any other prisoner he'd have and planning to effectively torture the kid to figure out where Mokuba is keeping the data card. So the dub line isn't really that different. It's just far less subtle. xD
Funny thing: in the Pyramid of Light movie, Pegasus directly talks about drinking wine in the dub. In contrast to the dub in this episode, where the wine was censored.
It’s one of only a few times I can think of in the franchise where alcohol isn’t censored. In fact, I expect the line was ADDED to the dub, as it’s part of a joke after a prophetic dream Pegasus has.
Movies abide by different regulations than TV. That's why Transformers the Movie has a TV cut with all the "damn"s removed.
Pyramid of Light is also one of the few western anime products to have proper card art(Though it is the TCG-cards, not the anime-cards). The reason I don't call it a dub is because despite the visual material being produced in japan as always, the movie was commissioned by 4Kids and went through the conceptstage, writingphase and final production on their end first. It was then dubbed and rewritten into japanese using the uncut original animation to still somehow make the JP-version the better one by far.
(Also, I'm fairly sure it is actually meant to be seen as a legitimate part of the lineup. It was given the proper duel monsters-branding of the animeseries upon localization and was even given a JP-only movienovel of all things to provide deck lists, fill gaps left in the movie and expand its lore through an alternate telling.)
Someone from 4Kids loves wine. Maybe Darren..
@@lpfan4491 In terms of the card art looking like the real-world counterpart, it's advertising laws in the US. Something about you're not allowed to promote real-world things in a TV show, so the card designs couldn't look exactly like the real-world cards. Of course, considering nobody actually bothers to read card effects anyway, nothing much is lost anyway.
@@Xudmud I know. It is just noteworthy enough to me.
FUCK YES! As much as I love VG Myths, the 4Kids changes videos are secretly my favourite GameChamp series.
11:43 Funfact: In the Polish version, there's a funny mistranslation here. During the translation, a hyphen was skipped, resulting in "Człowiek jedzący rośliny", which translates into "Man Eating Plants".
The wait is always worth it! Thank you Gamechamp3000
These "finger guns" are gold. I almost couldn't believe when I rewatched the series. When I showed my younger brother who saw this series with me years ago, he bursted laughing 😂
10:47 he wasn't joking when he said he's "not fit to be dueling anyone" 😂
So cool of Pegasus to reed the manuscript of red line before the movie was released, sad to see that yellow line was unsalvageable thought
I just love how random the EN versions are and I live for the chaos
I remember very little of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged now, but the 'Don't move a muscle or we'll shoot you with our invisible guns!' and 'You don't stand a ghost of a chance!' scenes are stuck in my brain.
I never finished this series as a kid so I can't wait for episode 232 for me to finally see the next episode
😆🤣You really think you'll live that long?!
But in all seriousness, the last episode came out 10 months ago, which in itself came about a year after the one before. At this rate episode, 232 is well over a hundred years away.
The original Yu-Gi-Oh only has 224 episodes, though.
@@darkknight5541 hopefully they will say comments on the movie,capsule monsters, bonds beyond time, and darkside dimensions
@@darkknight5541 I just said I random number because I do not remember what episode I left off on. Something about that riddle where one person only speaks truth and the other lies.
Correction at 6:01, it is stated that yugi is wagering all his star chips in english but its said by mokuba to quote "to wipe you out five".
This passion project is still amazing and I love every second of it.
I wish there was more 😭
Caprisun: *The World’s Finest Fruit Juice*
Fruit wine?
I'm convinced that the editors at 4Kids were paid on comission, receiving more money for each and every edit they made regardless of the size or necessity.
Kaiba's bossness takes the worst hits from the censorship in Duelist Kingdom, between deflecting a bullet with his briefcase and later jamming a gun with a sick trick-shot with a card that slots it neatly in place to stop the hammer from striking the barrel, and I think just in time to be stopped in place by the pulled trigger's movement of the hammer, so it wasn't just the maneuver itself but the timing of it as well I think. Also I think he throws another card at the thug's hand to make him drop the gun? Oh, and he full-on swings his briefcase at a thug. Is that whole scene of him being jumped on the way to Pegasus' castle cut out? Or is it made into another 'I point at you' scene?
I believe the card throwing is a completely different scene in Battle City. Funnily enough, I believe he hopes in his head not to draw anything good when he throws it, and it’s revealed he threw one of his Blue-Eyes before he could look at the card
Funny enough someone tested if a card could actually block a gun like that. And the answer was yes. Tho the card gets wrecked
What happened in the dub was the goon shouts something along the lines of "you're coming with me" and tries to punch kaiba only for kaiba to dodge by elbowing him in the stomach (with a tom and Jerry sound effect) and then judo throws the goon before grabbing his color and saying something like "no, you're the one who's coming with me"
I was afraid you abandoned this series, but it was well worth the wait. No one else goes this in-depth about episode changes in video form, only on blogs, and even then there are a lot of new observations here.
Probably cause they don't want their YT channel sent to the shadow realm...
23:53
"You think you can fool me by standing up. I still know you're right there where I'm pointing!"
I love that you always call it a "magical girl transformation"
Thank you for continuing this series, it's one of my favs and why I am personally subscribed to you. Also 34 seconds ago lez gooooooooo
Ah yes. The most frightening thing: Pointing menacingly.
Better yet knowing they were actually going to kill him with their pointy fingers.
@@genyakozlov1316 It worked for jotaro. I don't see a reason for it not to work.
After watching Critical Role for years, It's always a treat to hear Sam Riegel in these videos as random Pegasus goons. XD
I'm disappointed they removed him as Tristan
Glad to see this stuff back, been missing your content so much and got real invested in this Yu-Gi-Oh series
Time to rewatch all the earlier episodes of this series as must be done according to the laws laid out by our ancestors at the time of the first episode
Funnily enough that’s why I watched the earlier episodes of this series for the first time
@@ultimapower6950 same here when episode 6 came out
Gamechamp, Ive said it before but ill say it again. I know this isnt your most Popular series, but it is always a highlight when i see it and im eternally glad you continue it
Oh Gamechamp, why must you shower us with so many good videos? Every series of yours is gold and every video well worth the wait. Keep it up, girl!
Such an amazing series wish next episode was in 10 years and not 15
Frankly, I think Pegasus drinking fruit juice out of a fancy wine glass in the dub is actually extremely in-character for him. The man runs a company that makes children's card games for a living and still reads cartoon books at age... whatever age he is.
All in all, a lot of changes 4Kids made are terrible, yes, but more than you'd expect actually change the context for the better.
Some changes from the equivalent manga chapters for this episode I found interesting:
The reason for Kaiba missing Duelist Kingdom is the fact that he was knocked into a coma after the duel with Yami. Yami's Mind Crush metaphorically shattered Kaiba's heart to remove the evil inside of it, and Kaiba was tasked with reassembling his heart before he could awaken. This better explains how Pegasus was able to enact his plans to take over Kaibacorp, since Kaiba was completely out of the picture and unable to do anything to stop him.
While the scene with the kid getting his star-chips stolen plays out mostly the same, it becomes immediately obvious that Sawutari never intended to give them a chance to reclaim the missing star-chips. As soon as they leave to go find them, he gets the boat to depart without hesitation. The group see the boat leaving, but are confronted by Mokuba at the same time. Despite no longer been able to return the star-chips to the kid, Yami accepts Mokuba's challenge of a duel to try and understand what Mokuba is planning.
Instead of a data card Kaiba gives him (or his favourite card in the dub), Mokuba took the key to Kaiba's safe after realizing the Big Five needed documents contained inside and swallowed it. This explains why a bunch of grown adults couldn't just take it from a small child, and does lead to the rather amusing gag when Mokuba delights in explaining that they'd come running every time he went to the toilet to see if he had pooped out the key.
The duel itself plays out pretty much the same with Mokuba stealing some of Yami's star-chips to try and knock him out of the tournament. When Mokuba decides to trust Yami and return his star-chips, Sawutari shows up and declares that duelists exchanging star-chips outside of a duel is against the rules and confiscates them. Yami challenges Sawutari to a duel to win back the star-chips, which leads into the duel between Yami and the fake Kaiba. However, in the manga, it is a ventriloquist with a Kaiba puppet they claim contains the soul of the real Kaiba.
The reason for the first change is mostly the diffrence in context. Unlike in the manga or Toei anime, Kaiba has not done anywhere near enough in the DM-anime to need or deserve a trial and full reset, so Yami just removed the darkness clouding his mind instead of shattering his heart completely. Diffrences like these really put into perspective that these are just not the same entity. In most other cases, the DM anime would have just been considered a poor adaptation and discarded(Which is what some people are actually still advocating for), but its legacy is so deeply integrated into the IP at this point that that's not exactly an option anymore.
The manga should just get a seperate adaptation that stands on its own at that point, though that would require the people responsible for stuff like that to actually care.
@@lpfan4491 Oh for sure. I'd also assume there would be an issue of timing. In the manga, you have the Monster Fight, Evil Dragon Cards, Jounouchi's final confrontation with Hirutani (among other smaller adventures), and most importantly the entire Monster World Arc with Yami Bakura between Death - T and the start of Duelist Kingdom. Kaiba was in that coma for quite a bit of time in the manga.
However in the anime, it would have felt quite rushed for Kaiba to be put into a coma only to come out of it 10 or so episodes later. It just wouldn't have had the same impact, in my opinion.
It could also be that they knew at that point Kaiba was going to be a popular character, and wanted the opportunity to include him in the series more. The anime does keep him in the series until the very end, despite him completely exiting the series after Battle City in the manga.
I was literally just watching ep7 a few minutes ago, unbelievable timing! Love ya ♡
Wait so in the Japanese version where there not killing him they have guns but in the English version where they don't have guns they are going to kill him that's kind of funny.
Thank you so much for continuing this series.
I get way too excited every time i see a new one of these 😁 so glad youre sticking with the series!
Oh my god I've been watching all of Your Yu-Gi-Oh videos recently hoping you would still continue the series and here you are
You know, making a series that releases chapters only every two years is crazy
But I guess I'm crazier for not having missed an episode since the first one
Gamechamp, I love that you keep this series going.
“Thankfully, the Gorgonzola was not censored”
That made me laugh quite a bit.
My sense of humor has been destroyed.
Gotta say, This series is easily some of my favorite content of yours, and I look forward to every episode! I know you've said its not your most popular series, but I look forward to every episode! Hopefully your hands stop exploding soon!
I appreciate you continuing with this project. Many thanks for the entertainment.
I love these videos so much. I really hope you keep making them. Every time you upload one, I rewatch the whole series
in japanese, the henchmen burst through the door and point guns at kaiba in an attempt to kidnap him
In english, they knock first and do not bring guns in an attempt to assassinate him.
God bless 4Kids
I’ve been looking forward to this one for SO long!
I am so glad you are doing these again.
I've been watching the sub and my god you weren't kidding on the number of changes in this! Damn finger guns!
I am _always_ thrilled to bits to see a new episode of this series.
I was honestly excited for this one. This is the episode where the 4Kids meme got started.
I took number 10 to mean Mokuba stole them without duelling, which makes sense since he wouldn't have had any to wager and thus couldn't officially duel
I love listening to your voice and this series as well. Perfect.
Kemo and Tristan come from the same hair stylist, but sadly not the same martial arts teacher.
I love this series so much! Glad we finally made it to the finger pointing!!
honestly, i'm fine with "the worlds finest fruit juice". there are likely some REALLY boujie fruit juices out there that he could be enjoying and not every adult is going to be drinking alchohol, even casually.
I've gone over it in my head a dozen times, but I still can't figure it out. I've run simulations, probability calculations, and even quantum analysis, but I still can't figure out why game champ doesn't upload more of these
I love this series so much! It’s my favorite from you because I am a huge yugioh fan
Yes! Early Birthday gift! I always love these videos please never stop making them
Plz keep these yugioh vids up PLZ!!! They always brighten my day.
somehow I like the idea of Kaiba having a completely useless card in his deck for no other reason than as an intimidation tactic (in a "I'm so good at Duel Monsters that I'm setting down this useless card because I have that much confidence in my abilities to come back from it" kind of way)
needed this today thank you
I really love these videos always worth the wait!
I wish these got more views. These are my favourite of yours.
Do you think we stand a...ghost of a chance...of episode 9 this year?
YES! I just finished rewatching the first seven episodes of this series
was out of the house when you posted this! DX Just over the two hour mark I sorry champ~ these are great.
wooo yeah baby that’s what i’ve been waiting for thats what it’s all about woohoo
Thank you so much Gamechamp!
Please make more eof these! These are the best!!
If there is anything I will never fault 4Kids for, it's the voices of the Yu-Gi-Oh dub. Maybe it's just because I grew up with it, but I love 'em.
"Mr. Kaiba! We have you cornered! Do not move or we will aggressively point at you!"
Yes! I always am pleasantly pleased to see a new episode!
I honestly thought this series was dead, but it LIVES! so happy gamechamp is keeping it going
I absolutely adore this series, and I'm so glad there's another
I almost like these more than the challenge videos. I'm always glad when it comes back
I love this video series a lot its facinating, it kinda makes me want to try watching yu-gi-oh
this is insane, i was just binging the series the other day
I can't remember if this was a change listed in an earlier episode that would not be mentioned if it came up again, but I noticed that when Kaiba is shuffling his deck in the first flashback, the english version removed a bunch of the borders from the cards
I don't think Tea was cheering Tristan on to beat up Mokuba. That sounded more like a sarcastic remark to point out their size difference.
This is honestly my favorite thing you do. Thank you GameChamp! Love you!
Finally new episode, missed the series
The queen is back on her 4kids grind
The subtitles at 17:53 say kaiba will learn the "Card of the Cards" which is just silly.
It's because Kaiba worships his credit card more than hearts.
This was really entertaining and I hadn't been that into the yugioh anime. Also I saw that little Silver the hedgehog at 20:45 😂
Please do more of these they are wonderful
