The Lost Yu-Gi-Oh! Dub (Yu-Gi-Oh! Uncut)

No more 4Kids videos for awhile. What would you like to see next?

I had no idea about that but very interesting at the same time

[@mustafajovindah7765]

Could you do either bakugan battle brawlers, buddyfight,cardfight vanguard(you've talked about it a bit but I think a few parts of the series are worth talking about wether that be praise or critisicm). A video on cardcapter sakura and some really old kid shows of the time could be pretty interesting. But if you want to focus on something that's not card game related maybe a series comparing every iteration of Beyblade or inazuma eleven. That's all that comes to mind for now 😁😅, keep making content at your own pace.👍🏻

Ever since Sailor Moon was able to get completely re-dubbed I always wished that Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters could also get that treatment. But I definitely want most of the voice actors back if they are willing to do it like how they returned for the Dark Side of Dimensions movie!

[@dwainsimmons3447]

Sailor Moon earned a redub from Viz because dic/Cloverway almost ruined Naoko Takeuchi’s intentions for the franchise.

[@godofwind200]

My personal opinion is that if their going to redub it they should leave the old dub out for people to buy still and like you said get the same voice actors to do the redub again

Reasons which may and not be true. Licensing issues. The uncut dub flopped in terms of sales 4kids was not going to waste money (even if it was successful.) 4kids would be exposed of their terrible practices if they continued. These are just speculations

[@dundy7845]

@@soukenmarufwt5224 The releases didn’t flop at all, it was stated by the ceo of 4kids that the releases were successful. I feel the main reason it failed was because 4Kids was making secret deals behind the original Japanese companies back; which means that this release may have been canceled due to copyright issues. Meaning that this release wasn’t even legal to begin with.

[@alysssabear]

They should've at the very least finish season 1

[@mattwo7]

4kids absolutely had a history of not getting the licensing rights before doing stuff as evidenced by the GBA Video lawsuit.

[@DJKCP]

One of my favorite changes with the uncut version is the first summoning of Exodia, the overall feel and music is more epic, and hellfire's rage exodo flame is an awesome line

[@oqulis]

What a blast from the past! I had these growing up! I didn’t know what they were (or rather, what it meant by “original and uncut” - I had kinda assumed it meant that it didn’t have commercial cuts or something?) but I thought it was weirdly redundant that we had these three discs and then the full-season CD collections for seasons 1-3. I’ll have to go and dig through the CD collection at my mom’s when I visit her next year. Would be a fun rewatch. Very neat, thanks for the informative video! :]

[@sslocke]

An uncut version of Yugioh would do very well now with audiences who watched as kids are now older want to see it as it was in jp. There's definitely a market for it. Course still have a soft spot for the old dub. I don't think accurate translated Kaiba will be as absolutely savage as 4kids Kaiba. Which is saying something

[@Rikarikun]

there is definitely a demand for a faithful dub. But honestly there's enough wiggle room that they could probably keep some of the sheer savagery in the script.

[@InfinitySevens]

@@Rikarikun Potentially, though admittedly I'm someone who wants a more faithful dub where the only significant changes are using the dub names and just ensuring lines make sense. Keeping the original Japanese soundtrack would be a plus as well, but I think that's going to be tough knowing how much of a pain music licensing is.

[@Rikarikun]

@@InfinitySevens I feel you

[@oriongear2499]

@@Rikarikun I tend to enjoy anime with EN subs more than I did back then, but I'll admit that there is a significant amount of demand for a potential and faithful redub.

[@MidnightSonnet]

Subbed Yu-Gi-Oh is easy to find now. It wasn't back then, but we sure as hell tried. I used to rent poorly dubbed Chinese/Korean bootleg DVDs from my local anime stores in order to watch anime in their original Japanese format. It was a lot of fun. Nowadays, finding subbed anime is the easiest thing. As for a redub of the English cast, I highly doubt they could get everyone back. It's been over 20 years, after all. They could definitely hire a new cast, but that'd obviously backfire. The Japanese version is pretty great (though definitely 90s/early 00s cheesey), so I recommend it.

[@Violetstar42]

I'm so glad someone actually talked about Yugioh uncut! It was so hard to come by and only lasted such a small amount of time I almost thought I dreamed the whole thing lol

[@bjaxstriker5245]

Regarding only subbing the Japanese and releasing that, some people (myself included) physically can’t read subtitles because of visual impairments, so we’ll always care about getting a dub. Without one you either don’t get to experience the show at all or you go learn an entire language lol.

[@lpfan4491]

That is really just how Yu-gi-oh is for real. If anyone wants to watch the version not available in their language(Yes, I did hear that some japanese people watch the 4kids version subbed for some reason) and can't deal with reading the subs for some reason, then they either have to learn another language or get screwed.

[@KopperNeoman]

@lpfan4491 "for some reason" For the same reason English viewers watch the Japanese dub with English subtitles. 4Kids were earnest and good-hearted in their misguided censorship efforts, which led to them creating something new and original.

[@Krbrx_DCD]

Dude I’m still debating whether or not I should watch the entire franchise dub or sub or fuck it both lmao

[@InfinitySevens]

@@KopperNeoman Yeah, and looking back I give them the benefit of the doubt because they were still trying to write around stricter (and probably xenophobic) content regulation boards. At the same time, I'm still someone who says DM and GX are the only two series where I'd bother with the dub (and would still recommend watching the original Japanese episodes subbed if possible).

[@InfinitySevens]

@@Krbrx_DCD Personal take: Everything from 5Ds onward is just flat out better watching subbed, unless you're someone who wants to note down all the differences across releases. Duel Monsters and GX are worth watching both subbed and dubbed (though GX S4 never got dubbed). Arc-V might be worth skipping entirely since it's probably the worst overall series regardless of language.

[@maytalacedo2942]

I'm interested if they did the uncut or better redubbed of duel monsters that wldve been amazing and fitting for those who grew up watching the series.

[@ellietv.]

Season 0 Dub!? That's something I've wanted for years! It's also really sad that the uncut version was cancelled because the original 4kids dub really took a lot out. I would have loved to see the full story and details while not having to read subtitles.

[@lssjgaming1599]

I recently started collecting these uncut dvds. As a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh in both English and Japanese it really felt like an excellent combination of the two to me. Sure some of the dialogue was clunky and I would have preferred them to stick to the Japanese names (although I think them calling Jonouchi Joey would have been fine since they call him that in the manga once during the Tabletop RPG fight against Bakura before Death), but they really were able to do the Japanese script justice. Hearing Dan Green's voice while Passionate Duelists was playing was like such a treat for the ears. I also feel very similarly for the Shaman King uncut dubbed episodes but at least Shaman King kind of got a second chance with the remake keeping a majority of the 4kids cast. It really pains me too see Yu-Gi-Oh uncut not be completed. We missed so many potentially great dubbed moments like Kaiba's "I'll sacrifice God", The infamous Berserker Soul scene with the original music, and many more. I would of also loved to see it continue for series like GX and 5ds to have at least some sort of completed dubbed version and for 5ds it would probably get across the darker aspects of the story better

[@OneTrueNobody]

Agh, personally, I hate this dub. I say it as someone who bought all three existing DVDs on release. It's the most stilted anime dub I've ever watched. No effort went into directing it to sound natural at all. If you want an idea of what "good" uncensored Yu-Gi-Oh would sound like, you need look no further than the Dark Side of Dimensions movie. It both looks and *sounds* amazing. This? Bluh. Calling it mediocre would be giving it too much credit.

[@lpfan4491]

@@OneTrueNobody Pretty much. The uncut dub is so poorly made that people legitimately think that the japanese script just sucked, when...no, not really, they just translated it poorly and the voice actors sound tired as heck.

@@lpfan4491 It reads and sounds like somone just cleaned up a Google Translate doc and then tried to fit the syllables to the lip-syncing. I'd really like to see a "Viz Dub" situation happen with this anime; a re-do of the dub to fit the unchanged script, like what happened with Sailor Moon.

4kids deserves a little respect considering they pioneered bringing anime to US TVs in a big way. There was a bit of that in the 80s and 90s, but not to the point where it caused an anime explosion domestically. They did a good job with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. After that, not so much. Other companies took the reigns. Funimation is great, but I'll always prefer ADV. I still miss them.

Season 0 is actually my favorite i got all the manga up until it became duel monsters centric i love that each chapter centers around a Japanese 80s/90s toy fad

[@anotherjason]

So, these 9 episodes were on youtube for a time, and i got to see it. And i'll be honest, it felt really awkward. I dunno who directed it, but the acting, despite being done by the more experienced actors... Feels... Stiff, the somewhat "too literal" translations didn't help. It's a perfect example why good dubs aren't 1:1. On the dubbed manga, i also don't know if they're also being directed by someone for those or simply dubbing them with their own interpertations, but man they sound GREAT. That's the difference between a few years and literally 2 DECADES worth of experience does.

[@sameash3153]

Based! FUCK ACCURACY. I'm tired of people pretending that Japanese people can write well.

[@Chaosic]

Yeah I agree the person who directed the uncut either inexperience director or a robot xD

[@DeluxBass]

As a hobbyist translator myself, there's a lot of discussion in the translation community (at least in the Classical Languages field) about that. Some claim that translations *should* be 1:1, others that you need to keep the gist of the original text but you can make a few minor changes so that it flows better in your target language. Personally, I follow the second view, but a number of people prefer the first view. My guess is that they wanted a literal dub so that it could satisfy those who claimed that 'the dub made too many changes' or something. Who knows, some people may have preferred it that way. The acting issues...no clue why that happened.

[@bongchoof]

@@DeluxBass I will always say this, if you want 1:1, learn Japanese and let US get a better product. Thank you. It is VERY rare that a localized/translated work is turned into something completely different. There have been a number of times however where strict adherence has led to dull and wooden products or dialogue that just flows unnaturally (this one is everywhere).

[@DeluxBass]

@@bongchoof Yeah I do not like 1:1 either so I completely agree. I tried it in the very early days (when I was learning Greek/Latin) and it just....it drove me crazy, it drove people I showed it too crazy... finally I made the switch to flexible translating while staying true to the essence of it and that was when I actually started enjoying myself

I could be mistaken, but I’ve heard that anime (and potentially foreign films in general) is only able to receive a physical home video release in America if there’s a dub, that means that without the uncut dub there wouldn’t be a way to release the Subbed version of the show, as many of the changes 4Kids made changed the length of the show (such as adding more commercial breaks) meaning it would not be possible to sync up with the Japanese footage without a lot of changes

[@StrawhatDawn]

Yeah I got over “exodia obliterate” really fast after watching the sub and uncut

[@Shadowrulzalways]

The thing is, they only censored the anime in America because American companies wanted to market them to children. Because back then the mentality of American production studios is “Animation is for kids”. Which if anyone has done their research knows is totally bullshit. 🤣🤣 But if anyone actually researches these anime, they would learn they are NOT for “children” in Japan. For example, One Piece and Yugioh are both Shonen franchises. Shonen is a demographic term for both manga and anime that mainly target early to late teen boys between ages 12 and 18. Yes, this is for all Shonen manga and anime in general. Also Weekly Shonen Jump (the magazine One Piece and Yugioh are published in), is confirmed by it’s current chief-editor Hiroyuki Nakano to be for teen boys and that all their works we’re intended for 12 to 18 year old male readers and has been since the beginning of it’s first publication (which was 1968). And other Shonen magazine chief-editors have made the same statements as well. Also the Yugioh OCG (Official Card Game aka Japanese version) is actually for early to late teen players as every OCG pack or set all say on the back; “対象年齢12才以上” (Translation: “Target age 12 years and older”) Keep in mind, most countries (including Japan) use “12 and up” as the standard teen rating. And “15 and up” is considered a “soft-mature” rating in their country. Bur you’ll get the idea. And give the OCG’s complexity, it makes sense.

[@captaincz5763]

I have to disagree on the editing part. The text/cards should remain unchanged, because if they have to localize the cards as well then you might as well use the TCG versions of them, but then it would just retain the censorship (ex. Exodia). The whole goal of the uncut version was to be as close to the original Japanese. They definitely should have worked on the dub a little more before release tho. The voice direction is amazing, it really shows how much experience each VA has gained over the years but some dialogue comes out to be very awkward. You can tell it was a very direct translation of the Japanese version.

[@BladeEdge86]

I remember this dub, and bought all 3 of the released Yu-Gi-Oh volumes. It is a shame that this dub was never completed, it had so much potential. I didn't know about the uncut Shaman King dub, but would have probably bought that as well had I known about it at the time.

I have a theory that the whole show has been re-dubbed and they’re all stored in some floppy discs somewhere. I think 4Kids should have released uncut DVDs when the show was on air.

I honestly think it's possible that they dubbed a few seasons worth of episodes. Hell, the Ocean crew dubbed all of the original Dragon Ball Kai (not including buu saga), and it has yet to see the light of day.

I hope the ‘98 series and Duel Monsters at least get updated English subbed releases in the future.

I think my distaste for the 4Kids dub of Yu-Gi-Oh comes from my watching of an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh uncut on KZbin a while back. For a while I HATED the 4Kids dub for all the censorship, changing of the names, and especially the formatting of the cards which has always been a sore spot for me. Nowadays that hatred is no more than a little irk in the back of my head but that mostly comes from the fact that I'll never not hate how the cards look on screen.

[@vanesslifeygo]

dude where the hell can I watch the mangaverse thing mentioned at the end? im gonna assume they didn't make the whole thing, but they made a few pages, didn't they?

[@EarthyRanger772]

I never understood why we never got the z-one duel in 5 d’s as Timelords are one of my favorite archetypes.

[@snakems6936]

I think since Yu-gi-oh is still relatively on the map with nostalgia and all that. Releasing a new dub for Yu-gi-oh would be a great idea. I feel like a lot of people would buy an actual acurate and well edited dub of Yu-gi-oh. Dub season 0 while there at it

[@austinsontv]

I remember them marketing it in the Shonen Jump mags at the time

[@codym5352]

Screw Yu-Gi-Oh uncut, where's a modern remasted/ dub of Season Zero

[@grizzgreen6821]

Had this bad boy

[@junkame]

Excelente video, en algún futuro hablaras de 5D’s ? … es mi anime favorito de Yugioh, saludos !

[@EnigmaAnime]

Yes!

[@4EverBanishment]

Trivia: In the opening narration og the Original Uncut Edition. The narrator says 5000 years ago rather than 3000 years ago. Did 4Kids forget that they edited/ changed the narration in their dub??? I guess these DVDs are still technically edited lool

[@BABY-VEGETTO-BLACK]

EN LOS SUBYITULOS TAMBIÉN DICE 5.000 POR LO QUE NO ES UN ERROR

[@4EverBanishment]

@@BABY-VEGETTO-BLACK " In the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, "Duel Monsters" 3,000 years ago refers to the ancient Egyptian practice of summoning spirit-like creatures to battle using magical tablets, essentially the foundation of the modern "Duel Monsters" card game as seen in the series, with the Pharaoh Atem being the central figure who wielded this power with the Millennium Puzzle, making Ancient Egypt the time period where this form of "Duel Monsters" was prevalent.

I’ve heard of this 4Kids did something to similar to Dbz as they released a remastered uncut version which is what Yugi-oh started doing it and unfortunately was cancelled after only 9 episodes which is such a shame it could have made the eng dub so good for Yugioh than it already was however it was worse and low effort as they just read the subtitles and didn’t localise anything

[@dwainsimmons3447]

That was shaman king.

[@freezasama5802]

@@dwainsimmons3447 yeah but also yugioh

[@Ahturos]

Yeah uncut do mean they don´t touch anything. They only dub it. Not edit the footage. For a movie they could do that but for this on DVD it just is´t cost effective to do that. Just like any other countrie receaving a show from the US they don´t edit the text, maybe they did it once but nowdays they don´t. But suprised they did this, to bad they did´t finish it. A bit curious to see it.

[@Devon1238]

Sid they ever dub the season zero manga? If so where can I find it?

[@raveast]

In Dan Green's Twitter. But that's just a clip.

[@ClulssCrs3310]

Holy crap! I will follow Dan NOW!!!

[@shadown5757]

Curious that the sigil being portrayed on Yu-Gi-Oh’s forehead was the symbol of the order of the Golden Dawn 🤔🤔

[@Epsilonsama]

A good English dub would have done wonders. They should have just used the Japanese names and simply translated it and only change things as long as they preserve the original meaning. I'm personally more of a fan of close to the material as possible for translations but I also like Japanese culture...

[@AndreBeaulee]

There is a big yugioh fanbase out there and i think i speak to everyone when i say a season zero remake needs to happen better animation darker story telling all the cool games ect and ofcourse DUBBING it with dan green. Wont happen but at least we all advocate for dan and eric to dub the exsisting season zero

[@1fulsniperlegend]

Have you ever found out if a sub dvd of the entire series was released

[@VEOSEEO]

Great video bro 😎

[@EnigmaAnime]

Thanks!

[@LazyPirate8]

Sucks we never got the entire dub uncut. It would've done great had they released this on cartoon network on adult swim or toonami's midnight run.

[@dimanimatedtakes]

This might be a stupid question, but where did the Japanese version become available? I want to do a rewatch but not sure where to look. I'd also love an Duel Monsters anime remaster, done under whoever dubs Yugioh stuff now since 4Kids I think is gone or something? I dont know the full details on that. I also know that with Maddie Blaustein gone we'd need another VA for Solomon, I know Wayne Grayson voiced Solomon in a movie or two, and imo he did pretty good but idk if others would agree with me. Also, Megan coming back as Mai for all seasons would be cool to see. I dont mind Erica's performance, but if DSOD can get Tara Sands back for Mokuba, why not Megan for Mai for a remaster all the way through? I just think it's high time we get a remaster and without any of the censorship that got memed for years (invisible guns, and other things like buzzsaws vs dark energy disks, and more i cant think of atm). If current Viz Media or Funimation got their hands on it i think it could be good. Anyway - great workon the video! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
