@AfricanAmericanWarGreymon it was toned down, like Aster Phoenix's dad being "kidnapped". Don't really think I'm off even if Noah is an anime only character. A lot of characters get forgotten, like Mako, Odion, or Rafael
Bonus fact in the Yu-Gi-Oh movie Dark Side of Dimensions Duke's dad the clown is shown in it since the movie is supposed to be a direct continuation of the manga:)
I find it funny how even the sub version of the anime is tame. When compared to the darkness in the manga. Hell 4kids didn't have to censor as much as they did. The anime already censored a lot from the manga.
I remember watching the Dub as a kid and I have to say, the Shadow Realm along with Yami Bakura and Yami Marik were the things that scared the shit out of me.
@@logicseeker3770 agree..lol shadow realm is just mild version of that darkest shit of original yugioh story. Actual death, hell and eternity torture are fucking insane to imagine still.
@@YugiohEverything Most Players: These cards are useless in the TCG! I wish they were more like the Anime! Me: I know, right? I played the Seal of Orichalcos and I didn't even get to take the loser's soul.
My first experience with Yugioh is Forbidden Memories PS1 Game. I knew Millennium Items are fucked up. If you lose in Story Mode, it is Game Over. If you win, the opponent "suddenly vanish" and "there is nobody in this castle". Because the losers die.
Well actually the original yugioh manga was targeted to teens and older. But Japanese executives was like let's make an anime and tone down the violence and dark themes target to 7 to 11 year olds
@@xblade149 that's just the 4kids version. JP one kills people all the time, It was toned down a little over the seasons, of course the new stuff only has hints of darkest.
Me too. Except for number 6 and 8. Suicidal thoughts is not cool and suicidal pills makes me sick to my stomach and just plain wrong to be part of entertainment. But that’s just me 😣 and is bothersome to me. I love Yugioh. 3 is hmmm ok. So ya.
I love when YuGiOh gets a little dark - always shocks more casual (especially western) fans when you explain these sort of things happen in Original/manga versions of the show (Also because it validates me liking a 'childrens card game' as an adult a little bit more xD)
It's so dumb how we feel like as an adult we need to be watching stuff with very dark themes in order to not be looked down upon. Just do what you like, don't let other peoples' shame get to you. :)
I really wanna say something appropriate and educated, so..... DANK ENERGY DISCS! xD Great video, as a guy who got into the series from the manga side I can agree with these picks.
Thank you Jode! LOL it's funny cause in the video I say the stipulation of chainsaws between the Pandora/Yugi duel is the same in both versions.. But it's not, I let that one slip past me xD
Another moment is during Yugi's first duel vs Weevil, in the manga, Yugi doesn't bet his deck, but instead bets is own life for weevil to accept the duel.
Yami Bakura: “DC *wishes* they were as dark as we are! Hahaha! 😈” Marik: “With our combined *evil* - no one in the world will be as edgy as us! Hahaha!”
Awesome video! Finally I can send a well made video to my friends to prove them, that the YGO Manga was pretty brutal. And for more parts where the Manga is different than the Anime, there is this scene where Marik pretends to rescue Bakura, in Battle City, after Bakura got hurt. But you never see Bakura actually get hurt. In the Manga, you can see Yami Bakura stabbing himself with a knife, before he lets his host take over, so Marik can pretend to be the good guy.
I love the Bandit Keith one. It's my favorite of all of the penalty games. Combining the fantasy of body horror with the real horror of gun violence is a truly inspired move...one of Kazuki Takahashi's finest.
2 of these are given happy endings in duel links, which loosely follows the manga continuity, mainly to give characters who died in the manga a reason to be there. After you unlock Pandora/Arkana, he wakes up bombarded by painful memories (thanks to Marik), but is able to talk himself out of doing anything drastic and decides to bottle up his negative emotions. It's not healthy, but it's better than suicide. It's also revealed that Bonz was not killed in his duel with Bakura, although the incident left him very frightened. If Bonz manages to beat Bakura, you'll get some dialogue of Bonz getting over his fear and Bakura showing him some respect. If Bonz loses, Bonz begs for mercy.
I love how dark Yugioh actually is. Also, I feel like Bones death in the anime is worse. At least he immediately dies in the manga but in the anime hands come from the ground and slowly drag you to hell
That skinning one is pretty insane, never thought that yugioh was that insane xD No wonder they censored it, showing that in TV parents would have gone crazy.
7:00 I think it's worth pointing out the difference of the nature of the Mai vs Marik duel in the manga from its anime counterpart. In the anime the dark duel's rules supposedly just had Mai lose memories of her friends, while in the manga both Marik and Mai was feeling the effects of monster attacks, which is the same dark duel rules that Joey would undergo later in the series against Marik in the semi-finals. I can't say which is worse as I barely recall the episode from the anime, but the manga version definitely felt dark, with Marik's constant emphasis that Mai was to be a sacrifice and the implication that losing all life points or taking too much damage would result in death.
What about Yami Marik's final attack on Jonouchi's Gilford the Lightning during Battle City Semifinals? In the Manga; we see Gilford visibly being turnt aflame then seared from bottom to top into ash amidst the inferno However In the Anime, that was completely cut for being...I imagine far too gruesome even for Sub, so all we see is Gilford exploding after a while similar to how other monsters regularly explode after being destroyed. EDIT: For some reason though, while they censored that; the manga switched Mokuba's "Hey...Jonouchi's..Not Breathing!!!" to Honda's, and the "You Bastard!!!" while trying to punch him 'awake' to "I'm gonna kick your butt!!!" ...I dont know either.
Yeah, that small arc is a lot darker than its' anime counterpart, and the clown is downright creepy in every single appearance he makes, totally worth it.
I always felt the anime was a terrible adaptation of the original manga. I would love a more manga-accurate version of the anime, like DBZ Kai or Sailor Moon Crystal did.
Your an idiot DBZ is always better than DBZ Kai your fucking being ungrateful if we didn't get the DBZ a lot of shows wouldn't have been made and it's a fucking card game it's not suppose to be that damn dark plus u do fucking know that there are laws in JP on what to show on TV right dark and graphic stuff like what happened to Pegasus and Marik's dad is way to graphic to show on TV especially since it's suppose to be about fucking card games I'm fucking glad GX, 5Ds, and onwards aren't as dark as Yu Gi Oh Dual Monsters was at least I hope there isn't any dark graphic moments in there mangas.
@@CosmicNova1000 everything you said is stupid and wrong. Only duel monsters Anime focuse so much about card game , but if you read the manga or watch season 0 Anime you will notice that card game isn't the only thing and the manga is the original version because it came before the Anime
@@firepuppies4086 it's like the "dungeon" in the 4kids one piece dub. yea geting killed is bad, sure, but being sent to a dungeon for all eternity, not being able to die and not geting let out even after your loved ones defeat the bad guy who put you there is probably worse than just geting killed to death.
Now I see from which panel they took the image for Duel Links when Bonz is defeated... damn Konami don't mess around with the references on Duel Links but at least they could uncesor some cards and characters design there
The parts of yugioh that scared me were: 1. Panic trying to kill Yugi by fire (Like how FROLLO tried to kill ESMERALDA by fire) 2. Mai Valentine flashback of Marik trapping her in a glass 3. Yami Yugi losing to Raphael and Yugi losing his soul.
I would say the fact that Pegasus DIES in the manga and never once recurs is among the biggest differences. Also there should be a “top 10 times Bakura was written out of the anime” list
@@CosmicNova1000 That's literally exactly what I'm saying... he comes back in the anime and not the manga. The Yugioh R manga even centers around Pegasus being permanently dead.
Marik makes a man kill himself, sets up a bunch of death traps that would make John Kramer blush, and even kickstarts a card-themed terrorist organization which presumably is still around after Battle City. And yet somehow everyone STILL forgives him and he gets away with everything. Even Joey, and he was still on Kaiba's ass about Death-T several arcs later!
Good video, as always, Dylan! I still remember Mr. Otogi’s backstory (Duke Devlin’s father) and the “Devil's Board Game”! This whole “each player bets a number of years and the game's loser ages by the amount of years they bet” thing just scared me when I was younger!
Real surprised that you didn’t include Marik’s duel against Mai having the same “rules” as Marik’s buel against Jonouchi. Also Marik’s use of “Viser Des” in both those duels.
2 Moments I'd add: 1. Pegasus death in the Manga. (Bleeding to death after having the Eye ripped out of him) 2. Kaiba's 'first' arc in the manga is split up. Mokuba and Kaiba both lose to Yugi while trying to cheat and later try to get revenge, going as far as murder. After Mokuba failed to kill Yugi, Kaiba even tried to torture Mokuba to death as punishment.
@3:38 the manga having this flashback also makes Kaiba's staking his life in a duel to enter the Pegasus castle even more poetic if you never read the manga, it would have been totally out of the blue
Until this day..seriously i want them to make a separate shows of yugioh for children and adult fans😔 like gundam. Seeing DSOD make me believe more that.. yugioh with dark and complex, occult, strong science fict, and matured things are what make yugioh a yugioh! Not solving problem with chlidren card game😴. But i understand about the budget things..just hoping one day..
Honestly, same. While I'm not a huge fan of the series anymore, I would love to see a more mature adaption that focused on the darker aspects and less on the card game. Have a series meant for kids and another meant for older audiences. Or hell, even go the FMAB root and remake YGO so that it sticks exactly to the manga. One day, hopefully.
They need to make a remake with EVERYTHING from the manga in the anime. One of the biggest differences is Bakura's entire appearance and I think I'm not the only one who was mad asf learning that the anime rarely gave him screentime and changed his character. (Ryou and Yami Bakura to an extent)
I agree, because as a kid when ever I saw him I was like, who tf is this and why do all the characters keep acting like he's there friends, turns out its because they play off his storyline from Zero
The manga is so twisted compared to modern Yugioh. I love it. Though to be fair, a lot of anime are pretty heavily censored compared to the manga. Artists seem to be able to get away with a lot more in manga format. Like in the Dragon Ball anime Toei weren't even allowed to let Piccolo have 4 fingers like he does in the manga.
I think it's funny that Malik was such a good villain, but he wasn't really a standout duelist compared to the other characters. He was inferior to Ishizu (and probably Rishid) in the flashbacks and possibly never caught up. He cost Rishid a win against Jounouchi, and he had fluky wins against Mai and Bakura. Then, he should've straight up lost to Jounouchi. The Sun Dragon Ra was the only thing that made him win at all.
Yes, of course, and he still won most of his duels due to his opponents not knowing how to use Ra. The writers focused on Yugi, Malik, and Kaiba being chosen ones, but they didn't do a good job in developing Malik's actual dueling ability, in my opinion.
The Sun Dragon of Ra's effect/chant was in language other charectors could not understand they did not knew it's power and the abbility of so called "1 turn kill" (and other 2 abbilities)
In the manga his deck was based about torture devices which in combination with his "yami no game" skills would get the best of a duelist even before the duel was close to being finished, he even mentions how Jonouchi was able to stand it until the end since no one else had done it before.
1:47 That´s because in Japan, the death penalty is always perfromed by hunging. Thus, maybe it´s forbidden to broadcast animation with that content during the timeslot, maybe not, who knows.
It's more of it would be seinen if they fully adapted the manga to the anime. Or it wouldn't be shounen. Dark side of dimensions, Ryuji Otogi (Duke)'s father did appear he was the clown and he fired jounouchi.
Well Shonen manga are traditionally targeted towards teenage boys and it would make sense why the anime was toned down. However the manga or anime would never have been a Seinen as Seinen manga or anime are far more gruesome. True Shonen is for teenage boys and can have some level of violence and dark imagery like Yugioh has but Seinen is far far more dark and more violent.
Until this day..seriously i want them to make a separate shows of yugioh for children and adult fans😔 like gundam.

I seriously want a remake of the anime that sticks closer to the manga that also adapts season 0 but once again closer to the manga and also adapts yugioh r
The Manga was Dark! I read all of it. Yami Yugi Torments, Marik Tortures, Yami Bakura is a Straight Savage! What Bakura did to Pegasus and Bonez is just the beginning of what he does to others.
Just as a suggestion for a future top ten, which Yugioh characters frighten you the most? IDK about anyone else, but I would put the three Yamis in there to varying degrees; can’t decide for sure whether Bakura or Marik would be highest among those three alone, but they are the first who came to mind for me. Any other characters that you think should be there?
No. There can be valid reasons, especially for localization. Any references to current events, politics, cultural history, local celebrities, or religious symbolization that isn't familiar to audiences in other countries often have to be changed to something more familiar or it'll just come off as confusing, especially for children. For a series mostly focused on reaching a demographic of 9-14 year olds in the West, I can see why they would want to change some of the darker themes of violence. Although, for adult focused art, I can see why an argument could be made that an unchanged version should be available for those who are comfortable just looking up references they don't understand instead of having the references changed for them.
I wish they could remake yugioh but then with an 18+ version. Would love to watch the entire back story of yugioh and how atem was before he meet yugi.!we only saw bits of it. But there is so much to tell yere
Other than the penalty, I remmember that the duel between Mai and MArik was different in the mangá, where she was mostly tortured. Imagine if that duel was fully adapted these days?
I always assumed Bones just got Shadow Realm'd, which of course would mean that him and his friends came back once Zorc got destroyed. If they didn't fall to the Reaper of the Cards, that is.
Another note from the Mai/Marik duel in the manga: Marik’s use of Viser Des and Viser Shock in the manga was really damn dark as Mai had two torture devices used on her. They changed it in the anime to holding arms and holding legs, but seeing what was in the manga for the first time was very disturbing.
I remember growing up reading bits of the manga _and_ watching the dub of Battle City, and I always noticed that the manga was much darker (though I didn't realize the anime was censored at the time). I didn't read much of Battle City but I did read the Possessed Joey vs. Yugi duel and always thought the cyanide capsule poisoning was so much creepier than getting a crate dropped on you.
this might not qualify as a change, but in the manga when priest mahad dies, we get very explicit, very bloody confirmation that, yes, that pendulum blade sliced him in half saw-style; the anime shows no blood whatsoever and avoids any reference to the gory reality of his demise. but, again, it still shows the blade swinging toward him before his soul enters magus of illusion, so it might not count as being changed, just majorly toned down.
Interestingly, Season 0 did have the scene where Kaiba's father dies, but even then it's toned down. If I remember right, Kaiba implies that his father should jump out the window since he's the "loser," and when the dad realizes what he means, he has a heart attack and dies. Funny what you can show in print but not on TV

yea geting killed is bad, sure, but being sent to a dungeon for all eternity, not being able to die and not geting let out even after your loved ones defeat the bad guy who put you there is probably worse than just geting killed to death.

I feel the sand makes more sense since after she is freed she is physically unharmed. Flesh eating insects do cause injuries.
Yeah, but all that happens in a penalty game is in your head in the manga so it makes sense.
@@afernandez9579 I think they're both equally bad. Downing in sand is just slower.
Now I see from which panel they took the image for Duel Links when Bonz is defeated... damn Konami don't mess around with the references on Duel Links but at least they could uncesor some cards and characters design there
I love the nods to the source material like that. And then you have Zane having a heart attack when he loses.
Gold Zero
Does Zane actually die in the manga?
The parts of yugioh that scared me were:
1. Panic trying to kill Yugi by fire (Like how FROLLO tried to kill ESMERALDA by fire)
2. Mai Valentine flashback of Marik trapping her in a glass
3. Yami Yugi losing to Raphael and Yugi losing his soul.
I would say the fact that Pegasus DIES in the manga and never once recurs is among the biggest differences.
Also there should be a “top 10 times Bakura was written out of the anime” list
He does show up again in the filler arcs in the anime and he shows up in the movies
@@CosmicNova1000 That's literally exactly what I'm saying... he comes back in the anime and not the manga. The Yugioh R manga even centers around Pegasus being permanently dead.
@@actionturnip395 he at least got to die naturally of old age by the time of 5DS as they talk about a memorial.
Holy shit Marik was an actually intimidating and terrible (in a evil way) villain
Also Melvin is a psychopath
you know something i realized with every anime that the manga is ALWAYS hella darker than the anime it self
Marik makes a man kill himself, sets up a bunch of death traps that would make John Kramer blush, and even kickstarts a card-themed terrorist organization which presumably is still around after Battle City. And yet somehow everyone STILL forgives him and he gets away with everything. Even Joey, and he was still on Kaiba's ass about Death-T several arcs later!
What about Joey/Jonouchi being burned by the Winged Dragon of Ra, especially in the Japanese manga?
Good video, as always, Dylan!
I still remember Mr. Otogi’s backstory (Duke Devlin’s father) and the “Devil's Board Game”! This whole “each player bets a number of years and the game's loser ages by the amount of years they bet” thing just scared me when I was younger!
xD That game was messed up, would have been cool to see that entire sequence animated!
Real surprised that you didn’t include Marik’s duel against Mai having the same “rules” as Marik’s buel against Jonouchi. Also Marik’s use of “Viser Des” in both those duels.
Bandit Keith's own hand turning into a gun really got to me, it would've looked scary if it was Animated
defently the yugioh manga has the most dark moments for sure. hands down.
great vid & i agree with those picks
Thank you nick!
2 Moments I'd add:
1. Pegasus death in the Manga. (Bleeding to death after having the Eye ripped out of him)
2. Kaiba's 'first' arc in the manga is split up. Mokuba and Kaiba both lose to Yugi while trying to cheat and later try to get revenge, going as far as murder. After Mokuba failed to kill Yugi, Kaiba even tried to torture Mokuba to death as punishment.
@3:38 the manga having this flashback also makes Kaiba's staking his life in a duel to enter the Pegasus castle even more poetic
if you never read the manga, it would have been totally out of the blue
this really adds a new side to yugioh that i never noticed as a kid. thank you!
You should have included the part where Yami Marik gets beheaded or where Mai gets cut open through the torso.
4:08 Puuuuh! I wanted to binge your channel right now, and that was such a tease. Please make that video for Halloween. 🎃😍
Wow, now I'm going to get the manga. Great video bro!
Until this day..seriously i want them to make a separate shows of yugioh for children and adult fans😔 like gundam. Seeing DSOD make me believe more that.. yugioh with dark and complex, occult, strong science fict, and matured things are what make yugioh a yugioh! Not solving problem with chlidren card game😴. But i understand about the budget things..just hoping one day..
Honestly, same. While I'm not a huge fan of the series anymore, I would love to see a more mature adaption that focused on the darker aspects and less on the card game. Have a series meant for kids and another meant for older audiences. Or hell, even go the FMAB root and remake YGO so that it sticks exactly to the manga. One day, hopefully.
Joey: that yugi is a good guy
Yugi: hey pharaoh remember when you set that guy on fire
Atem: what about it?
They need to make a remake with EVERYTHING from the manga in the anime. One of the biggest differences is Bakura's entire appearance and I think I'm not the only one who was mad asf learning that the anime rarely gave him screentime and changed his character. (Ryou and Yami Bakura to an extent)
Same.
I agree, because as a kid when ever I saw him I was like, who tf is this and why do all the characters keep acting like he's there friends, turns out its because they play off his storyline from Zero
Gozaburo got heart attack in Toei anime after Seto's "betray"
The manga is so twisted compared to modern Yugioh. I love it. Though to be fair, a lot of anime are pretty heavily censored compared to the manga. Artists seem to be able to get away with a lot more in manga format. Like in the Dragon Ball anime Toei weren't even allowed to let Piccolo have 4 fingers like he does in the manga.
It really is, and I def agree that there is a lot more you can do in terms of twisted stuff in mangas as compared to animes
I think it's funny that Malik was such a good villain, but he wasn't really a standout duelist compared to the other characters. He was inferior to Ishizu (and probably Rishid) in the flashbacks and possibly never caught up. He cost Rishid a win against Jounouchi, and he had fluky wins against Mai and Bakura. Then, he should've straight up lost to Jounouchi. The Sun Dragon Ra was the only thing that made him win at all.
His deck was build around The Sun Dragon Ra (and SOME effect damage cards)
Yes, of course, and he still won most of his duels due to his opponents not knowing how to use Ra. The writers focused on Yugi, Malik, and Kaiba being chosen ones, but they didn't do a good job in developing Malik's actual dueling ability, in my opinion.
The Sun Dragon of Ra's effect/chant was in language other charectors could not understand they did not knew it's power and the abbility of so called "1 turn kill" (and other 2 abbilities)
In the manga his deck was based about torture devices which in combination with his "yami no game" skills would get the best of a duelist even before the duel was close to being finished, he even mentions how Jonouchi was able to stand it until the end since no one else had done it before.
It's funny that Rishid nearly destroys Jonouchi but Marik nearly loses to him.
I always thought Marik destroyed Pandora's mind after delivering his message in the anime.
1:47 That´s because in Japan, the death penalty is always perfromed by hunging. Thus, maybe it´s forbidden to broadcast animation with that content during the timeslot, maybe not, who knows.
Yeah the anime had to tone down we have to tone down some of the scene
It's more of it would be seinen if they fully adapted the manga to the anime. Or it wouldn't be shounen. Dark side of dimensions, Ryuji Otogi (Duke)'s father did appear he was the clown and he fired jounouchi.
Yeah that's a fair point (had to look up what seinen was) xD
Is it confirmed that was his dad or are u just assuming?
it's confirmed well I watched the sub and Jounouchi mentions him. And it's very obvious for manga readers it's him.
Well Shonen manga are traditionally targeted towards teenage boys and it would make sense why the anime was toned down. However the manga or anime would never have been a Seinen as Seinen manga or anime are far more gruesome. True Shonen is for teenage boys and can have some level of violence and dark imagery like Yugioh has but Seinen is far far more dark and more violent.
Until this day..seriously i want them to make a separate shows of yugioh for children and adult fans😔 like gundam.

The Mai vs Marik fight was censored in the anime
I seriously want a remake of the anime that sticks closer to the manga that also adapts season 0 but once again closer to the manga and also adapts yugioh r
you forgot to mention that bandit keith lived because of marik but was revived by the antagonist of yugioh r inthe manga
The Manga was Dark! I read all of it. Yami Yugi Torments, Marik Tortures, Yami Bakura is a Straight Savage! What Bakura did to Pegasus and Bonez is just the beginning of what he does to others.
how deep did the saw cut through Pandora’s leg? the world may never know!
xD Some things are probably better left unsaid!
I actually don't think they removed it because it was too dark. Rather because blood means fluid physics which are a pain to animate.
#8 Plus side for the anime change, it gave us one of Kaiba's best badass moments.
What’s funny the 4kids version isn’t manga accurate, however season 0 is manga accurate
Just as a suggestion for a future top ten, which Yugioh characters frighten you the most? IDK about anyone else, but I would put the three Yamis in there to varying degrees; can’t decide for sure whether Bakura or Marik would be highest among those three alone, but they are the first who came to mind for me. Any other characters that you think should be there?
I remember Mr. Clown and the fire. I loved that manga.
Hey number 3 is shown at season 0! Great video btw
There’s never a reason to alter the original creators work.
No. There can be valid reasons, especially for localization. Any references to current events, politics, cultural history, local celebrities, or religious symbolization that isn't familiar to audiences in other countries often have to be changed to something more familiar or it'll just come off as confusing, especially for children. For a series mostly focused on reaching a demographic of 9-14 year olds in the West, I can see why they would want to change some of the darker themes of violence.
Although, for adult focused art, I can see why an argument could be made that an unchanged version should be available for those who are comfortable just looking up references they don't understand instead of having the references changed for them.
I wish they could remake yugioh but then with an 18+ version. Would love to watch the entire back story of yugioh and how atem was before he meet yugi.!we only saw bits of it. But there is so much to tell yere
Other than the penalty, I remmember that the duel between Mai and MArik was different in the mangá, where she was mostly tortured. Imagine if that duel was fully adapted these days?
Fun fact, Bandit Keith was resurrected in the Yu-Gi-Oh R manga
I’m glad Pegasus is still alive in the anime.
In the number 1, it sounds pretty dark with burning someone to death too
I knew the manga was darker... but dang, that is just f**ked up. Like Season 0 level messed up. When yugio thinks its Beserk.
So that explains the Duke event in Duel Links.
a another thing about mindcontrolled Joey vs yugi: If kaiba try to stop their duel i think the rarehunter try to kill Mokuba
Wow this list was pretty gruesome. You should do a list on Yu-Gi-Oh! 'S top 10 best or worst Fathers as there are quite a lot. XD
Thanks for the suggestion! Top 10 worst fathers would actually be a pretty funny list, maybe a Fathers Day Special?? xD
@@YugiohEverything Yeah. It would be a hilarious one to see. But yeah it could be a fathers day special.
I always assumed Bones just got Shadow Realm'd, which of course would mean that him and his friends came back once Zorc got destroyed. If they didn't fall to the Reaper of the Cards, that is.
I was about to sleep
Then I saw Dylan just uploaded a video
Thanks Teody! But you can always sleep first, my videos aren't going anywhere! :)
Thanks Dylan for another great video
So that's how you stopped showing your face you went bald. Dammit I wasn't even close
Im surprised this video was not made sooner.
There are SO many good topics to cover, I'm finally glad I got around to this one!
I do hope you decide to do that in-depth video on Duke Devlin, would be quite interesting to see that character given more dimension.
Yeah I think I am going to tackle that soon! I do a series called manga vs anime analysis, would love to do his character for that soon!
Another note from the Mai/Marik duel in the manga: Marik’s use of Viser Des and Viser Shock in the manga was really damn dark as Mai had two torture devices used on her. They changed it in the anime to holding arms and holding legs, but seeing what was in the manga for the first time was very disturbing.
I remember growing up reading bits of the manga _and_ watching the dub of Battle City, and I always noticed that the manga was much darker (though I didn't realize the anime was censored at the time). I didn't read much of Battle City but I did read the Possessed Joey vs. Yugi duel and always thought the cyanide capsule poisoning was so much creepier than getting a crate dropped on you.
this might not qualify as a change, but in the manga when priest mahad dies, we get very explicit, very bloody confirmation that, yes, that pendulum blade sliced him in half saw-style; the anime shows no blood whatsoever and avoids any reference to the gory reality of his demise. but, again, it still shows the blade swinging toward him before his soul enters magus of illusion, so it might not count as being changed, just majorly toned down.
"It's Dylan from Yugioh Everything, and welcome to another Yugioh video--"
I will stop you right there.
Interestingly, Season 0 did have the scene where Kaiba's father dies, but even then it's toned down. If I remember right, Kaiba implies that his father should jump out the window since he's the "loser," and when the dad realizes what he means, he has a heart attack and dies. Funny what you can show in print but not on TV
LOVED THIS, please do the duke devlin video
O wow this just made me want to get the manga
You deserve from me a subscribe man I love this
