- In this series, I list every localization change I can find in the English dub of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime, which features way more drastic changes than just the censorship commonly cited. Today's episode: the ocean Duel between Yugi Muto and Ryota Kajiki / Mako Tsunami.

I love Joey’s character arc in this one. Truly moving when he decides to let Tristen eat the book.
Homestuck Profile Picture, Capriborn.
I like the english motivation because it creates a parallel between Yugi and Mako both being in the tournament to save a father figure, and adds a surprising layer of tragedy to only one being able to win
I just love the little detail where at 11:59 you can hear Yugi say "Nani?!" but the subtitle says "Attack!" It made me giggle so much.
WHATTACK!
reminds me of DO NOT WANT
It’s funny because of 8:16
7:58 for context of the joke
18:15
Worth pointing out that if our moon did instantly magically vanish like in Yugioh!, there would indeed be dramatic tidal upheaval.
(Then ocean stagnation-very sad. Please keep the Moon spell equipped to the Earth monster at all times)
There’s a funny thing about the change to Ryota’s motivation. Later on, in his Battle City duel, he actually does express the belief that his father is still alive, somewhere out there. It actually informs the reason one of his moves in the duel, where he resurrects The Legendary Fisherman instead of Fortress Whale. Because leaving the fisherman in the graveyard feels like admitting to himself that his father is likely dead.
So while 4kids almost certainly had a ratings-based reason for adding the line about the lifeboats, it accidentally fits with later information about Ryota’s character.
Wait yeah, I just kinda figured that it was always meant to be like that when I watched the show for the first time recently because it just made that play make so much sense and fitted quite well but obviously that can't be the case, its a dub.
I don't believe it, smart 4Kids writing, the end of the world is truly upon us
Stuff like this makes me really question the true complexity of remaking this anime, because just sticking to the original japanese exclusively definitly misses out on a lot.
And a GX remake should just go with the dub-ending anyhow, but that's another story.
@@lpfan4491 Wait, GX has 2 different endings? What are they?!
@@Hadeks_Marow I believe they're referring to the fact that the final season of GX was never dubbed in English as 4Kids had to get started on 5Ds right away, which also didn't have its final season dubbed in English. In GXs case it ends on a cliffhanger, while in 5Ds case the ending is changed entirely.
@@Hadeks_Marow The English Dub ends when Jaden fuses himself with Yubel. Once things are done it just.....Ends and we're thrust into the 5D's anime.
In the Japanese release, GX gets one more season with a new villain. When that's done, the series ends with Jaden being transported to the past to be able to duel (Yami) Yugi at his prime, meaning post-Battle City. Ath the "Peak" of the duel, it's Elemental Hero Neos vs. Slifer The Sky Dragon. The duel doesn't show the conclusion, however.
I like that Mako's honorable personality was made much more explicit in Japanese because he basically warned, asked, or told Yugi a bunch of information from asking if he was ok with the terrain split to giving him monster stats/info of things he plays. It's still kinda underhanded because he doesn't divulge that his monsters will be hidden while playing, but it's far less scummy than how he's portrayed in English.
Hey to be fair, being honourable is no excuse to not be pragmatic.
If you just go spewing all your secrets and methods to your opponents, well then you're just asking for trouble in the end.
So I wouldn't call it scummy, but merely common sense.
That also kinda aligns with the intrinsic to extrinsic motivation change, the japanese version caring more about a fair duel wanting to better themselves, and the english version caring more about straight up winning to go find their father
I think you accidentally mixed up the languages
9:21 That's actually a good catch on 4Kids part. It was changed to actual 50/50 on the duel field, like it was supposed to be. It looks more like two-thirds water on the left.
Isn't it not even in the Japanese version bc of the full moon card???? I might be wrong, but that could also just be why they changed it in the dub :0
@@tortamons the moon did change it, but this shot is before that card was played. The duel starts 50/50.
@@RiukuCresent Wow are you telling us that 4kids saw a mistake in the original program and actually improved the show by fixing said mistake……you realize no one will ever believe you.
@@yaebizombie4671 Happened more times than one would imagine. Heck, they actually fixed plain shaky writing at one point.
@@lpfan4491 In fact, it happened a couple times in GX. The Japanese broadcast had the wrong card artwork on a couple of the played cards during an episode or two, and 4Kids managed to catch it and replace it with the correct monster.
Storm approaching "mirror" edit is to reflect a metaphorical sense of "forward". In japanese, you read from right to left, where as in english, you read from left to right. Your eye is naturally trained on the starting position. So in japan, that's the right side. In places like america, it's the left. The idea is that the storm washes over you, rather than your eye starting at the storm as it covers your screen.
The reason why this is important is "stormclouds" are like, symbology 101, so you gotta get the symbology right otherwise you miss the entire point of the scene.
That idea is becoming more outdated. While it's still common enough, the information age has saw more things in Japan adopting the left-to-right style
@@velvetbutterfly you are time-framing wrong. You are basing it on the present, rather than when the Japanese anime came out in 1998 or even sooner if we are basing it off the manga art.
@@Hadeks_Marow Japanese is only read from right to left when written vertically. When written horizontally it is read from left to right. During the 1950s there was a fad of writing horizontally from right to left, but other than that it's been that way since as early as the 1920s. After the end of WWII in 1942, many official documents were written horizontally from left to right as a result of western influence. Most novels, manga, and newspapers that are printed only in Japanese still have page orders from right to left where the text itself is read from left to right, but anything that has alternative language translations has a page order from left to right and is read from left to right. Just thought I would clear that up
@@evsanger I think you only made it more confusing. Cause the anime is based off the manga, so that panel in the manga would probably have been vertical. And what that means is. . . well, too complicated for me to understand.
Lefts and rights in general are hard for me.
"In the Japanese version the crew go on to slaughter a whole family, in the English version is this replaced in favour of an unexplained BBQ"
Your...joking right?
@@buccaneerguy8197 I'm making satire on some things:
- Insane things are seemingly completely fine to be in the Japanese versions of shows.
- How the censored version tries to cover up things, usually in a way that doesn't make sense or makes no attempt to conserve plot or details.
- Censoring sometimes makes things more disturbing than original (i.e. making Sailor Uranus and Neptune incest)
@@yellowroo ok, i thought that was genuine XD
@@yellowroo while you do have a good point, I have a nitpick.
you mention how censoring things makes things more disturbing, yet fail to explain that in the quote.
please let me know how this small nitpick is invalid.
Is it because it's cannibalism?
Completely unrelated but that made me remember how people refer to a major plot point in FE4 as a BBQ
When English version has the better explanation, you know this scene is madness.
No. THIS IS SPARTA!
@@darkknight5541 NO! THIS IS PATRIIIICK!!
Wait... Am I missing something? How does the English version of the moon attack scene make more sense?
@@Zulk_RS it works on dnd style rules. Attacking things tangentially to the monster, like the flotation ring, we’re shown as options before, so attacking the moon that controls the tide makes sense in the same sitting
@@misterghoul9457 No that part is not that out there but the parts that make no sense to me are:
1. Attacking a monster with higher DEF than your ATK and getting damaged
2. Interrupting said attack to jump up and avoid opponent doing damage to themselves
3. How are you attacking the moon on the opponent's turn? Why not just let the opponent do damage to themselves by attacking a high DEF monster and THEN you attack the moon.
I never watched yu-gi-oh so I'd like to think this as my watch of the definitive edition of it. Probably the slowest watch in existence but a watch nonetheless
"It's been four years but I've finally finished episode 7 of Yugioh!"
I like the dub more than the sub, you should definitely watch it instead of this long drawn out comparison version because it's very well done, despite the censorship
12:30 How to read kanji can change based on what word they appear in. Since that group of kanji are appearing in the name of a thing, there are almost no hard rules on what they can be read as and we can all just be glad furigana exists.
In this case the furigana is written in Katakana, which usually means the reading is not based on the Kanji but rather is pulled from another language. The kanji mainly exists to show the meaning of the word since Japanese wouldn't know what "Leviathan" means
I know these videos do terrible for you but I honestly love them so much. I learn a great deal about the original Japanese, get to relive the utter lunacy of YuGiOh!, and your commentary adds a whole new layer of entertainment.
I love how this is almost as long as an episode of yugioh
The ground photoshop made sense. It was to fix it so the divide between land and sea was more even. This way, each player got 50% of the field, making it feel more even and fair, like if they are to sell placemats.
The Japanese one is like 70% water, which creates a completely different metaphorical tone suggesting an unfair battle in favor of the side represented by water from the very start of the dual. . . which isn't how a card game you're trying to sell should be portrayed. You want it to feel competitive, which means you want it to feel equal. It creates a false sense of "yeah, I can do that to" in younger audiences. Making a game come-off as unfair makes it feel less welcoming and that you don't have what it takes as someone new to keep up.
The card game didn't exist at first
@@saiyanfang1047 Can you site that source?
Cause the anime (not the manga, but that part doesn't matter to this topic as there were no companies trying to make merch off of it back then, instead at that point, it was just some dude) came out in 1998 where as the card game came out in 1999, roughly the same time. Now how long do you think it took for 4Kids to get ahold of the american release of the anime. That much was after the card game came out and had merchandise to sell.
@Hadeks Marow 4kids got it in 2006 so they had the game but the source did not
@@saiyanfang1047 If you look at my edit, the timing suggests that the merch was in production phase as the original 1998 show started airing. There is naturally going to be a time gap between production and release. That doesn't mean they weren't both being worked on at the same time or that the planning phase wasn't there/not the intention.
"Not released" is not the same as "not existing".
@@Hadeks_Marow The placemats also don't actually provide the effects of the anime since the rules weren't set. You need field spells to mimic the effect that terrain had.
Instant click. Girl's got some stellar presentation and you gotta support creators when they're doing something that's clearly passion fueled.
Not to be rude, but does she identify as a girl? Legitimately asking. I don’t want to be rude.
@UC08o9sGwLbXCGHBXhRp1YCQ Oh. Thank you! Her about page says use her/them. Didn’t know that before.
@@Legomaster-jv8ll shes nonbinary and uses she/they, it says in the channel info
@@Legomaster-jv8ll If I misunderstood then that's on me, but yeah it's been explicitly said for the pronouns. In the 2nd Clip Show with the favorite episode list, during the Pokemon segment it's also said "No Pikasprey didn't misgender me, I wasn't out yet."
As for any other specific mentions I do not recall other than Stubbs the Zombie
@@recitationtohear you’re disgusting, trans people have rights too
To be fair, I can see why they'd edit the ground. The dialogue said that there was 50% wasteland field and 50% ocean field. But...that's definitely not what it looked like in the original. xD
So true.
Just saying, I love that Attack the Moon is an actual card.
Too bad you can't use it to destroy your own Mystical Moon.
@@_Vengeance_ 0/10
Your comedy is gold as always. I almost died at the moon part, with Jonouchi's confused face slowly covering the screen.
Now I understand why this one took so long to come out. The fucking credits list to your Patrons is massive. Good on you for getting it done though.
She's back! Love this show. Praying copyright monsters leave the video alone.
One of my favorite things about Kairyu-Shin/Leviathan is that we didn't get it in America until 2019 in a random speed duel box. For reference, this was 20 years after the Japanese release date of 1999
I know, I loved that card in Forbidden Memories and was so disappointed that it was only ever released as a Speed Duel version. I hate speed duel cards.
I like how Mako’s motivation is done better. While it’s clearly 4Kids removing death, it could equally be seen as Mako being in denial and chasing on the fact that his father could still be alive. Due to Mako being a child, it’s ambiguous if his father actually took the life boat or if it was also torn away naturally in the storm as well and he’s convinced it’s the former.
Change 49 is actually the most hilarious thing ever lmao
Gamechamp videos will soon become an hour long because of her patron reward tier of reading names and I am here for it.
I do love the yugi videos too so hopefully others will realize how great they are
From what I know, Leviathan is how the word is supposed to be read, with Kairyushin just being the kanji used to spell its name. An example off the top of my head are the sins from Nanatsu no Taizai. 傲慢の罪 (Gōman no Batsu) is read as “The Lion’s Sin” due to the Furigana being ライオンのシン (Raion no Shin), in spite of its literal reading of simply “The Sin of Pride”. Though furigana can be a literal guide for the kanji’s reading, like the Rasengan (螺旋丸).
Yeah it seems to be a common thing in Japanese media to have anything with an English name have the floating above characters showing how it's meant to be pronounced in English, but also have kanji below basically giving an explanation of what the name actually means. So it's just like "hey viewers, leviathan means big sea dragon!"
I guess it would be like if Komori Dragon really did have "translators note: Japanese for bat dragon" floating above it, haha!
Whenever I’m down I like coming back to this video. Change 49 is impossible not to laugh at.
@15:00 What a weird timeline we live in where some 4kids changes were actually kind of improvements.
Fun fact: the kairyushin retrain, kairyushin - leviathan, has an effect that mimics the kairyushin in duelist kingdom
Glad this series is making a comeback!
9:30 Lol for no real reason on the ground.
they made the ground look less japanese. this was done to appeal to western audiences
It's because they said the ground was a 50/50 split, however the Japanese animation has more water than land, so 4Kids made it match the dialog even if their dub didn't explicitly say 50/50
@@velvetbutterfly I like how people are mad about an correction. I get the feeling people would go absolutely nuts if a redub fixed the horrible engrish on the god cards, even tho them being engrish is passively lorebreaking.(Pegasus is American and the cards are exclusively available in english because they were never translated to japanese. The english on them should be flawless.)
Hi, here's a fun fact about Japanese in response to 12:34.
It's common in Japanese to use words that are in English with Kanji in certain contexts. For example in Seven Deadly Sins' Japanese version of the Manga, the opening chapter has customers call Meliodus "Master" with the proper english outloud (represented by katakana in furigana) but with the Kanji of the Japanese word. It's just so that people can identify English words they don't know the meaning of. So they know they're saying a different word, but the meaning doesn't go over their heads. So technically the Japanese name of Kairyu-shin is Leviathan but it means 海竜神.
It's weird but it's like how if I said "Sayounara" but I wrote it as Goodbye. Technically both are correct and true but I spelled it a different way.
Im so glad this came back Gamechamp, Even though its not your most viewed content i still believe its great. Keep up the Good work
OH I forgot you did these, I remember these from so long ago, great to see more of these "4Kids changes to Yu-Gi-Oh videos" again, I enjoy your challenge runs too.
I think yelling "Attack!" was meant to be interpreted as "Oh no, an attack!" rather than a battle command to his own monster
At least English Yugi understands what an attack is.
These Yugioh videos really are great as you can watch the episode while learning about it at the same time.
I love the joke where yugi says “Nani?!” but it’s captioned as “Attack!”
9:23 as the show presents it in the moment, the submerge ability feels super unfair, and thus making yugi have less land than mako has water highlights this feeling. its a good change
So, the reason for the mirrored ocean shots is actually quite interesting, it took some deep diving to find out:
It's to drive you, you specifically, insane with confusion.
I'm so happy you're continuing this serries ^^ it's really fun and interesting to see what's changed and honestly I think I'd watch whatever you do, it's a lot of fun!
So for a slight understanding of why S1 of YuGiOh tends to have a bunch of crazy stuff, it's actually kind of related to a Real World reason.
The manga was meant to be a mix of "Villain/Game of the Week", and the author wanted a game to be a Magic: The Gathering expy for that week. Initially, the rules were pretty much simplified in order to get the game across. However, a large number of readers actually sent in letters requesting a more in-depth look of this game. And from there, Duel Monsters, and subsequently, Yu-Gi-Oh became a proper Card Game.
Of course, by the time this anime was in the works, the Card Game was still in development so there wasn't exactly a "Defined" set of rules to go off of for both the Manga/Anime. But the Author is also a major fan of Dungeons & Dragons as well. So a lot of the random stuff you see here, the Field Boosts, rarity of Effect Monsters, Traps, and Spells, and crazy "Attack The Moon!" silliness is more attributed to a mixing of TCG/D&D elements while the actual TCG/OCG could actually develop.
It's around Battle City when the Card Game formally got the rules, although the Anime still uses a custom set of rules referred to as "Super Expert" alongside its own Banlist (primarily free Burn and Field Wipe cards like Hinotama and Raigeki). While the rules weren't really *Explained* (in either the manga or Anime as a whole), rules are referenced here and there. As an example, one of the rules is only being allowed to set 1 Spell and 1 Trap each turn, which answers the "Why don't the player(s) load their entire back row with Spell/Trap cards?" question. Plus, it does add tension.
Can't watch until tomorrow, but I'm doing my part for the algorithm now. I know these videos severely underperform, but I love them and am always happy to see the series get continued.
Love to see this series again! Excited to see more, and I hope you start using this as a "bread and butter" series in-between challenges! Always enjoy the videos!
Awesome! Always glad to see another episode in this series! :D
thank you so much bringing this series back!
you make media i never would consume otherwise into something that is so, so fascinating. keep it up.
I've rewatched these videos more times than I would care to admit haha. Very rewatchable. Nice presentation.
YES! I have never watched Yu-Gi-Oh before, but I absolutely love this series. So happy to see another episode!!
Honestly I believe this series is amazing! I can't wait for ep 8!
good to see ol' Yoog back on the channel, i enjoy a good bit of yugiposting every now and then :)
ngl this is still my favourite series from you
Keep up the excellent work!
Congrats Champ. You got me to watch this show, and now I can think of nothing else. I hope you're happy!
Always excited to see when you make these!
Love that you still make these
Unironically some of my favorite content. This is great.
Welcome back! This series was missed.
Love this series, glad to see more of it!
Oh I’ve been waiting for this, time to binge the series again
Eyy! I was just wondering if you were gonna do more of these. Yu-Gi-Oh! is one of those series that I routinely hyper-fixate on every few years, so these are always a treat.
Man, it feels like I've been waiting a millennium for the next part... or was it close to a year and a half X3 These comparison videos are why I subbed to begin with, it's nice to see one pop up out of the blue!
I'm always so excited when this series comes up in my subscription feed.
Eyyy its back!!!!! And i absolutely adore the jokes that were either added this episode or i just started to notice
As a patron, I was eagerly waiting for the video to come to RUclips so that I could interact with it to boost the visibility. This was 100% a video worth the wait!
I was wondering when you’d come out with the next one! Missed this series!
I missed your content, appreciate the video 🙏
Yes! I absolutely love these Yugioh videos with all my heart and it’s great to see another one.
this series makes me so happy it’s unreasonable really. this anime holds such a special place in my heart, as does Yugioh as a whole. seein the lil stuff just makes me so happy, and I’m so glad ur passionate about this. absolutely blessin the yugioh fans like myself
Looking forward to future episodes. I am sure my grandchildren will enjoy this series
I need the rest of this series, please and thank you
Not gonna lie, I look forward to these more than your other videos. They are all great, but this is clearly a giant passion project. The video being almost as long as the episode it is talking about really shows.
Happy to see you continuing the series at least.
The series that disappeared for like 4 years has returned for a second somewhat season turned arbitrary episode.
Yu-Gi-Oh! will always have a place in my heart (and my sub feed) because of things like this. I think GX will probably be my favorite series for nostalgia reasons, but the OG DM series is fantastic too. In general, where can you find such crazy hairstyles, ludicrous character quirks, and crazy bonkers plots? So thank you, Ms. Champ, for blessing us with some top tier Yu-Gi-Oh! content!!!
Side note: my current favorite card name is Interplanetarypurplythorny Beast. For... obvious reasons.
Hey it's been a while! Keep of the good work i really enjoy this series
glad this series is back but i'll be dead by the time this series is over
I absolutely love watching your videos over my lunch break
My theory about why they change the land on the duel is the following
And editor in chief combed through every changed that needed to be made and wanted to get rid of the "Illusion light and magic" markings on the duel field. He then made a lackluster note "change ILM"
And editor doesn't understand what ILM means and interprets it as change "island land mass" which is why the illusion light and magic logo is there, but the land mass has been changed
Am glad to see another entry in this series. Amusing as always
yay it is back! Have been missing the series
A few things: if I were the type to edit my Patreon name for episodes, I could have done "Getsugaru was stabbed by the Giant Soldier of Stone in this episode and could use a hug." Second, anyone else notice the clips behind the credits this episode? I think those were Rockman 3 clips from the boss rush at the end of the game, but they may have been Rockman 4. Third, I actually like these Yu-Gi-Oh videos a lot, as they are quite entertaining and informative. And finally, here you go person from the Patreon listings: "Hamm Mann is cool then my anime redemption arc of self satisfaction will be complete."
It actually kinda amazes me how years later they actually made cards that reflect Mako's no-rules card effects.
Sea Stealth attack is an actual card that lets you hide a monster for a turn, that is, banished and returned
And Fury of 'Kay ru Shan', as the Anime would put it, which destroys a bunch of enemy monsters and makes it impossible to use those monster zones for a turn.
Oh, and of course, destroying the moon is a card now too, I suppose
Good presentation, and i love these vids!
Good to see this series back!
Feels like it's been forever! Glad to see the series isn't actually dead!
Always glad to see more episodes of this.
I'm so glad to see this series return. :]
I stayed away from this series for a long time because I wasn't really interested. But now, knowing you a bit better, I gave it a chance - and you actually managed to make this entertaining! Great job 🙂
i really love these videos, such a cool series
Didn't know this series existed, neat, looking forward to the next one.
I forget if I knew about this series or not but I like it, I'm praying to the algorithm gods for you! It's fun!
i'm back a month later and i think you made me start watcing yu-gi-oh. damn you.
:>
I wish you would make more. These are genius!
I really love your Yu-Gi-Oh series
I hope these start coming back out again at a semi regular pace! I agree with a few others that this is about the only way I would want to rewatch this
Woo! More GameChamp hype!
Love this guy's videos!
Super looking forward to the next one (we haven't even gotten to the invisible guns yet).
I'm enjoying sharing this with my wife as she sees the dubbed series for the first time.
It's been a while but thank you!
Glad to see these videos again
i love these videos, i hope this one and all the others get tons of views
I'm just commenting to tell you that I love this series and will always check them out. I know YT is cruel to creators who try to expand into other stuff so I'm leaving my comment and likes to help you out!
