In the magical musketeer archtype they all have guns and are even shown in action using their guns on the spells and traps, but they censored calamity's thighs
I like how Konami still censors Yugioh cards in the TCG like they think Suburban Moms still buy Yugioh cards for their kids and the playerbase isn't primarily adults lol
Fun fact about Ghost Sister. Her TCG art is actually more accurate to her name since she is only a sister not a full pledged nun, she wouldn’t actually wear a habit. Only nuns wear a habit, and only adults can be nuns, therefore Ghost Sister is a sister in training and wouldn’t wear the habit.
@@holycheeseduck4729Seems reasonable. Japan isn't that good at understanding religion as we saw with the whole Dark Magician line. The church can go too far VERY OFTEN but sometimes they do have a point, children rarely run those habits.
Fun fact about Polymerization, there's actually three arts for it! But the third is only seen on the second one. Look at the card the two monsters are swooshing into.
@@john1691 I... legit cannot tell if you're a spambot or just goofing around. Like, the first half had me ready to report and then I see the 'prize' and I go 'wait a minute'... and I still don't know. Impressive.
I find really weird about all the censorship in small details in artwork representing female monsters, they're not explicit in any way and the change is usually so minor that it doesn't really impact the appearance of the monsters (like a skirt slightly larger), but you know that this means that some guy at KONAMI marketing team was inspecting every pixel of the art and deciding how much armpits or thighs the western players can have access to.
This is the funniest thing to be honest, they are horny enough to recognize that the sad fish girl’s armpits need to go, and dumb enough to be scared of rocket/sword groins as well.
Yeah thats one of the big take aways here. The funny thing though is the ego boost guy getting head, because someone had to notice that and by changing it basically admit that he deemed it problematic.
The one censorship I'm actually baffled after all this time is Legendary Fisherman's harpoon being covered with a white round tip thingy. What was the logic there? Wasn't there already several swords/knifes/axes/spears in the game until that point!? P.S: Please restore all the horny art
My best guess might be something to do with animal conservation? Like harpoons are used to hunt fish sometimes but maybe it's super painful for the fish. I'm not 100% sure
Quick shoutouts to the changes the OCG makes to TCG art. For example, on War Rock Wento and War Rock Skyler, the OCG art is changed so that more cleavage is shown compared to the original TCG art.
Fun fact, in the OCG World Premiere Pack (the pack where the OCG releases the TCG exclusives for the OCG), they have actually released the censored artwork for some cards (the last World Premiere Pack had the TCG artwork versions of XYZ Dragon Cannon for example)
One of my favorite instanced of censorship is one they missed, for when she was released Maiden of the Aqua shockingly has no censorship despite having a massive rack.
Which is really funny considering how dedicated to censoring female anatomy Konami is. They will nerf the titties and make them smaller, they will force them to cover up more, they will delete all cleavage. But Maiden of the Aqua? Sure just port it over no changes needed lmao
From what I heard, the Exosisters' censoring is that their outfits would less resemble militaristic uniform colors or something, which is really stupid imo.
Super stupid and we won’t ever get their lost arts because every single fucking card in the archetype would need one for them to match, on the Xyzs its kind of whatever, but they fucking destroyed the main deck ones imho.
@@Mat860000 Japan actively uses that imagery extremely irresponsibly imo. Attack on Titan is a great example, let's make the Nazis have a point guys what should go wrong
Some more fun ones: Book of Life/Moon/Taiyou: The ankh on each book is replaced with a bird hieroglyph. The funny thing is this change happened during specific reprints of each card (Zombie World Structure, Spellcaster's Command Structure, and Retro Pack 2 respectively). Last Day of Witch: Original artwork depicted a women getting prepared to be burned at the stake, not unlike the Salem Witch Trials. Worm Prince: Original artwork had 3 Worm Apocalypse dancing in the background. They were removed to avoid cult ritual connotations. Abyss-sphere: Linde is drowning in the original, with her hand around her neck. Arrivalrivals: Alchemic Magician is pulling Slacker Magician's cheek in the original. This is why you see her rubbing her cheek in Staring Contest. Final Flame: Original depicts a crucified dude burning. Gearbreed: Some of the labels for each node in the flowchart are removed. They originally read "Bastard Sword", "Holy Sword", and "Deathscythe". Magikey Duo/Locking: They repositioned Magikey Maftea so that his gun barrel isn't aimed at Clavkiys's head. Psychic Commander: The dude's got a full blown "SIEG HEIL" pose. Time Wizard of Tomorrow: Strange case where the edit comes from Korea, Duel Links, and Master Duel. The hand on his "hip" is the wrong hand!!! And let's not forget the one edit that made things go from bad to worse: Tragedy: A guillotine originally, now a potential rape scene.
Maiden of the Aqua is always funny to me because she's built like a One Piece character, but wasn't edited at all despite being a pretty old card. Yet much more modest busts got nerfed. Who makes the decisions over there???
I really like Gun Zaloog and the grenade collar so the real buff for me was Ego Boost. I swear that after you see the guy giving head that version is ruined forever lmao
While the cards were never ported from the anime. I’d still like to know your opinion on the cards Chum lee’s dad used and how they turned from a sake business to a hot sauce business.
One I’ll always remember, because my first deck I played a lot of was Metaphys, is Soul Release. In japan the mermaid was totally nude but stateside they gave her a dress. Probably for the best but it was the first time I saw that exist
I honestly don't get why some of these cards are censored while others aren't. Like, Dinomorphia Kentregina got her chest recolored and made smaller. But Zoodiac Drident is just like...untouched. I just feel like they should a t least be consistent, and they aren't.
another couple of art change upgrade would be Monster Reborn and Spellbinding Circle also, i don't know which Mystic Tomato i prefer, the simple boring one, or the disturbing detailed one
this video's been out for a little over 2 months and it just hit me that coolia was censored not because of the pits, but because there was a peek of sideboob in the uncensored art
Some censorships are dumb af like Ring Of Destruction and Full Salvo but I prefer the TCG artwork, Ring just looks like a ghetto Christmas ornament in the OCG. I know a lot of these censorships because I'm a huge RANK10YGO fan, it's always fun hearing him poking fun at these censors. Also shoutout to Cvit who called TCG Barrel Dragon Nerf Gun Dragon.
The fluffal censoring honestly makes the cards look like the shittiest art every printed. Like, so hard to look at that I wouldn’t want to play them in paper. Looking at you Leo
So the change in pendulum zone is not a change in the chain links but the lettering behind the chain link. This is because the building is supposed to be the Leo Duel School (LDS) from the Arc-V anime. However, in America it is called the Leo Institute of Dueling (LID) so the art was changed to reflect that.
Confused with Shadow feeler, it had its full debue in the anime, same amount as time between dub and original so it wasn't censored in the anime, still played and everything
Oh, that monster was definitely censored. Every time it appeared onscreen, the shot cut to another scene and the combo was done without showing shadow feeler, or it was covered by a flash of light. It made the scenes super confusing if you didn’t know what was happening. Any time loss for summoning animations was made up for by extending the recap portion of the episodes
@@Sweepatoo at that point Shadowfeeler wasn't censored just cut down a bit, still had the duel the exact same and even then it got his less by censors in the anime way less than Dreary Doll, Egg Head, Giant Grinder, Junk Puppet, Puppet of Strings, Des Troy, even XYZ Colossieum was censored more than Shadowfeeler
@@drcrowlergaming2059 Being completely removed from the anime is censorship, no? Because the monster was only ever mentioned, never shown, except for the few frames that the editors missed. Even Des Troy got the same treatment where the monster played its effect like normal but was deliberately kept it out of sight. Most of the puppets ended up being censored, some more drastically than others, but saying that shadowfeeler was not a censorship attempt is blatantly wrong
@@Sweepatoo No? Shadowfeeler and Des Troy are both visable in both card form and on field form in the anime so they're still there, the duel plays out the same and again, Grinder, Egg Head, Dreary Doll and Junk Puppet were censored a lot more than just having a few less seconds of screentime
@@drcrowlergaming2059 We’re talking about the 4K media dub, right? If you watch the scenes side-by-side, those monsters did not show up as they did in the original unless you’re talking about a different dub. They may have a few seconds shown in parts where the editors couldn’t clip them out, but they are very much not visible on purpose. It was a product of lazy censorship because instead of giving them the yubel-treatment, they were simply chose to not show the monsters. And yes, I did not say that the others weren’t censored. I’d argue that grinder was less censored from des troy or shadow feeler since the only scene cut with it was whenever it grinded up some monsters, but other than that, the entire monster was shown. The person who originally posted on the twitter thread was wrong about the duel being played differently however. None of the duel scripts were changed for the sake of censorship
The one I really wish was there (I would've submitted it myself if I was online at the time) was Last Day of Witch. In the TCG it's that cartoony Ghostbusters-esque witch with the cross. In the Japanese version IT'S LITERALLY A CRUCIFIXION.
Fair enough, but it's still INSANE and worth commenting on. It's the only censored art that I looked at and went 'whoa, okay YEAH probably best not to'.
It still baffles me that Soul of Purity and Light, a card with some of the most sensual artwork in the entire franchise, actually was censored NOT for the full-on nudity, but just for the angel's halo. Really makes you wonder how that was able to slide given how much all the other waifu cards get micromanaged to hell.
I honestly don't know what you mean. SoPaL is just a guardian angel hugging from the back the person she is protecting. What is so sexual about it. I genuinely don't see anything wrong with it.
I hate the "paint the abdomen" solution to mermaid-esque monsters. It looks so weird and they are not even consistant with it being their skin or some sort of...mermaid latex.
The censorsing that I find the most upsetting are the ones that discard the extra effort the artists put into creating meaning just from the Card Art. Bagooska, for example, completely destroys the Yokai folklore reference (which is why he is a fiend, not a beast). Alcoholism is curiously common among yokais lol Fiend Comedian is clearly a reference to Manzai comedy duos. There was real work put into thinking these artworks, regardless of immediate aesthetical "coolness".
Wouldn't be the first time artists that are involved with Yugioh (mangakas too) got mistreated. IIRC, Konami doesn't even let them take credit for their own art. Idk if this has changed, but it was like that for a long time.
Yeah also his original name was so much cooler. His OG name its not ""Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir"" his OG japanese name is Number 41: Mud-Sleeping Demon Beast - Baguska.
My favorite card censorship is super dreadnought rail cannon (gustaf max) konami chose to put a round of ammunition just out of the barrel that’s just so funny
Did nobody mention the card Tragedy? Not only does it fit into the category of "Censored Artwork that is more iconic than the Original" but it is also notable for the fact that the Censored artwork is INFINITELY more intimidating and menacing than the original. Also: A minor shout out to Battery Man Fuel Cell's "HO".
swear to god your cadence and delivery at 6:12 on the line "they glued his ass crack shut" sounds EXACTLY like the Angry Videogame Nerd. like it perfectly matches his style of over the top disbelief. I laughed so hard my family had to check on me
After a tournament they handed out some lost art promo cards to those who topped. I never realized how different cyber angel Idaten’s original art was until then 😂
So the part of pendulum area being changed isn’t actually the chain link, but rather the name of the school in the background which is LDS(the one from arc-v) in the Tcg version it’s changed to the dub version LID
I was not aware that Shadow Feeler was basically removed from the dub, apart from a 1 second glimpse of it when IV explained how he survived C101's attack.
The two arts of Polymerization you showed isn't actually censorship, it's an alternate art. The first one is a weirdly meta version of the more common art, and the Spell Card in the middle of it is supposed to BE the the more common one... but it was actually censored, because that ornate seal in the English version is a hexagram in Japan.
Surprised no one mentioned the anime only censorship of changing sake to hot sauce which included changing Chumley's dad deck entirely from "Drunken" to "Dizzy" as well
I think the exosisters color change is to look less like military uniforms, which is fine cuz like, one of them is still clearly carrying munitions crates
Did anyone mention the obvious Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max? That one was very dumb to me because iirc Super Dora and Juggernaut Liebe were basically unchanged as far as I know. But for Gustav they turned the steel cannon into some blue pencil thing lol
The funniest one for me is Arrivalrivals. It looked too much like a woman going down on another woman, so they made the first one do the anime cheek pull thing so you could tell they're enemies and not gay
Twitter thread idea: The "power nine" cards of yugioh. Cards that are so powerful they will never be unbanned, just like MTGs "Power Nine". Sure theres the obvious like Pot of Greed and Delinquent Duo, but hey why not.

The censorsing that I find the most upsetting are the ones that discard the extra effort the artists put into creating meaning just from the Card Art.
Bagooska, for example, completely destroys the Yokai folklore reference (which is why he is a fiend, not a beast). Alcoholism is curiously common among yokais lol
Fiend Comedian is clearly a reference to Manzai comedy duos.
There was real work put into thinking these artworks, regardless of immediate aesthetical "coolness".
As if non japanese would get those references
Wouldn't be the first time artists that are involved with Yugioh (mangakas too) got mistreated. IIRC, Konami doesn't even let them take credit for their own art. Idk if this has changed, but it was like that for a long time.
Yeah also his original name was so much cooler. His OG name its not ""Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir"" his OG japanese name is Number 41: Mud-Sleeping Demon Beast - Baguska.
As if westerners care about japanese arts
@@crisalidx5881 Nah bro, the alliteration in the sleepy fuck is way better
lost art promo detailed armpits waiting room
I always thought it was weird to censor guns for a country you know known for THEIR guns
Konami censoring armpits is one step away from censoring ankles like it's Victorian England.
Baby Tiragon is another really funny example where they took away his little 2 cm horns.
Datatron is by far my favorite censorship for the ammount of effort put into it
as Rata once said, "Oh, so a forklift is an acceptable crotch (for a giant robot), but a rocket salvo is not"
My favorite card censorship is super dreadnought rail cannon (gustaf max) konami chose to put a round of ammunition just out of the barrel that’s just so funny
Giving clothes to the Nordic Alfar cards has always been the weirdest for me. It looks both terrible and questionable.
Did nobody mention the card Tragedy? Not only does it fit into the category of "Censored Artwork that is more iconic than the Original" but it is also notable for the fact that the Censored artwork is INFINITELY more intimidating and menacing than the original.
Also: A minor shout out to Battery Man Fuel Cell's "HO".
Tragedy was in the thread like 20 times
@@StarfieldDisarray Ah, didn't know. I don't use Twitter so I never actually check out the full thread and only watch these highlight videos.
swear to god your cadence and delivery at 6:12 on the line "they glued his ass crack shut" sounds EXACTLY like the Angry Videogame Nerd. like it perfectly matches his style of over the top disbelief. I laughed so hard my family had to check on me
I’m dying after hearing what he had to say about Soitsu
The only thing they don't censor are the poses and clothes of Lolis. See Traptrix without getting a call from Chris Hansen.
After a tournament they handed out some lost art promo cards to those who topped. I never realized how different cyber angel Idaten’s original art was until then 😂
Dian Keto more like Dian Tito
So the part of pendulum area being changed isn’t actually the chain link, but rather the name of the school in the background which is LDS(the one from arc-v) in the Tcg version it’s changed to the dub version LID
I was not aware that Shadow Feeler was basically removed from the dub, apart from a 1 second glimpse of it when IV explained how he survived C101's attack.
The two arts of Polymerization you showed isn't actually censorship, it's an alternate art. The first one is a weirdly meta version of the more common art, and the Spell Card in the middle of it is supposed to BE the the more common one... but it was actually censored, because that ornate seal in the English version is a hexagram in Japan.
A robot with ballistic cockets.
Apparently giant salvo dick is bad but crotch forklift (Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder) is totally okay.
In the early days of yugioh I get it why they saw the needed to censor stuff. But now? Srsly? Half the playerbase aren't even children anymore ._.
I remember the art designer for magi magi magician girl wouldn't even let the card be in the tcg because he didn't want it censored.
Don’t demean takahashi by referring to him simply as an art designer
Satanic Panic clearly traumatized someone at konami
Surprised no one mentioned the anime only censorship of changing sake to hot sauce which included changing Chumley's dad deck entirely from "Drunken" to "Dizzy" as well
MBT at 12:16am let's goooooooooooooooooooo
Jeez, us armpit fans can't have anything, can we? ...Uh, I mean... the armpit fans... whomever they may be...
As a gay person into bears in tight clothing, you are correct, there is something extremely hot about seeing just a peak of someone's tummy
Barrel behind the door.... Is just a more ornate gun
I think the exosisters color change is to look less like military uniforms, which is fine cuz like, one of them is still clearly carrying munitions crates
Did anyone mention the obvious Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max? That one was very dumb to me because iirc Super Dora and Juggernaut Liebe were basically unchanged as far as I know. But for Gustav they turned the steel cannon into some blue pencil thing lol
I always think of the nipple spikes they put on the armor for a lot of the older cards.
The funniest one for me is Arrivalrivals. It looked too much like a woman going down on another woman, so they made the first one do the anime cheek pull thing so you could tell they're enemies and not gay
The gravey in the second card was Mooyan Curry, a reference to a REALLY classic card.
Twitter thread idea: The "power nine" cards of yugioh. Cards that are so powerful they will never be unbanned, just like MTGs "Power Nine". Sure theres the obvious like Pot of Greed and Delinquent Duo, but hey why not.
Spy C-Spy's Gravy Boat is actually Curry. I used it enough in Forbidden Memories that I should know.
5:50 - something they'd been worried about since they first employed Kojima, it turns out.
Alternative Title: Konami has no idea if this card game is for kids or not.
I cannot believe they censored TOON Barrel Dragon. it’s still a goofy cartoon gun in the OCG art because that’s the point of it being a toon
Last day of the witch is straight up one of the darkest cards they ever censored
In witchcrafter holiday they censored the drool from madam verre when she is sleeping
Is thinking they are censoring armpits instead of sideboob more pure or less pure?
Don't censor both
I love both
Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle was also censored in the TCG, and I think that's the most recent censorship
I love the thumbnail 😂. The jar cringing from the fat bastard emperor 😂
i have no wormkussy and i must scream
