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

[@oz88og40]

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

[@minicle426]

​​​​@@dwainsimmons3447Which is funny. Given the half-baked trainwreck of a cashgrab that was Crystermos came along and drove the franchise into the ground instead.

[@Blad3sofWaR]

Same, I’m hoping since Sailor Moon got S5 just released and One Piece was safe so there’s still hope

[@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.

[@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.

[@Wittyx]

I have these DVDs. It's been 20 years. We more than deserve a proper uncut dub as adults who are still loving fans.

[@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

[@Sarnarath]

Excited for the manga dub!!

[@FalconsEye58094]

They redid the dubs of Cardcaptors also, and Dragon Ball multiple times, who’s to say Yu-Gi-Oh couldn’t do the same? The voice actors are some of the most perfectly cast which I don’t know if you can say often for other dubs

[@deathmetal271]

Except it wasn’t redone, they just took the Animax dub and synched it to the Japanese footage

[@MsShadowrealm]

It's sad that the creator of the series died.😭😭

[@cohenmarioman]

I believe the issue was with Yugis original Japanese voice actor rights. Wasn’t an issue for DSOD and I believe it has been resolved

[@chaocobojun2098]

Yeah there was a huge deal with him. I remember when the Bonds Beyond Time movie was coming out there were restrictions on even using his voice in JAPANESE trailers on TV! Insane and I still don’t know why? Is it because he’s mostly a live action actor whose only voice acting role is Yuugi?

[@retrogamer6403]

Yeah, I heard it had something to do with Yugi's Japanese voice actor who also sung the opening song for Duelist Kingdom all the way to the beginning of the Battle City arc and this fuck with A LOT of Yugioh Duel Monsters related things, not just the Uncut Dub or 4kids releasing the Japanese sub in the West.

[@lpfan4491]

@@retrogamer6403 No, KENN, that's why I specified the japanese name. The dub couldn't have had any relation to why the japanese series ended early(In the style of "we won't continue if we can't bring it to the west"), because it never even touched Season 4.

[@aznpikachu215]

Simply put, the uncut wasn't done after 9 mainly because of their greediness of the US companies that were behind the scenes. I don't see any chance of a recast of the undub anymore.

[@lunalefae9455]

[@DennisTamayo]

There was another uncut English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh, which was licensed by Odex in Singapore.

[@EnigmaAnime]

I've been searching for it.

[@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

[@gabrielmoreth4482]

While in Brazil, our dub is absolutely PERFECT.

[@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.

[@sorcerersapprentice]

I remember watching those on KZbin and back in the day. To be honest, while I like the uncut dub since it allows me to get a better idea of the story (since I prefer dubs more since I don't have to have my 100% undivided attention when I'm watching it and can just enjoy the story), but it had a lot of issues. The dialogue felt really stiff and awkward, but I think a lot of that has to do with translating the script too literally. It really goes to show why dubs should never be a 1:1 translation. As a long time fan, I recommend people to skip the anime and go read the manga instead, since it's darker, has a better translation than any of the English versions and stays true to Takahashi's vision more. I think we can all agree that the uncut dub's a lot better than the Singapore one.

Honestly I think if they had just kept the Japanese music in the 4kids dub, it would have been better. To me, as a Japanese version enthusiast, they have 6 entire albums of baller music, the best anime soundtrack I’ve heard in my life, and they took it away. But they put it back in the uncut. That’s a reason right there to watch it.

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

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.

[@janeenschultz8502]

I started watching the original Season 0 with one of my friends while in college and I couldn't take it anymore after maybe 3 episodes. I had read the manga and the changes to story and the addition of that one weird chick made it unwatchable to me.

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

[@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

[@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.

[@OneTrueNobody]

@@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.

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! :]

[@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

[@KichiMiangra]

I actually knew about the uncut dubs. Back in the day My sister and I each got a copy from... it was either my uncle or my grandma? My sister got the volume of Yugioh with Weevil on the cover, and I got the first volume of Shaman King uncut! I don't know if I still own either of them anymore... My sister had gotten rid of a lot of her anime stuff in highschool, and I think I lost Shaman King to a "Friend" who "Borrowed it for the weekend" without telling me that they were literally moving out of state that very weekend so technically stole a bunch of my dvds...

[@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.

[@InfinitySevens]

Even though future YGO anime post-Go Rush seems more focused on adapting card lore, I'd love to see a directly faithful adaptation of the Duel Monsters manga (and maybe Yu-Gi-Oh! R) if possible thanks to differences between it and the original DM anime (also because DSOD exists as a manga follow-up, as opposed to GX and 5Ds being direct follow-ups to the anime).

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

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.

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

[@dankwaifu2093]

Your opening line is a little off. The majority of anime that came to the west made it without heavy alteration, especially during the '90s and early 2000s. In the '90s, the home video market for anime was booming, and lots of studios went out of their way to find the most violent, gratuitously sexual movies and OVAs to ship over. Shows that could be marketed to children on television were censored for broadcast, but movies, OVAs, and tons of other series made it here perfectly fine, in most cases.

False advertising

They should have done his continued it with the uncut and uncensored the whole entire episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, GX and 5ds. Who agrees with me on that topic?

[@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?

[@bewearstar9462]

The only problems i have with this short lived dub are 1 the character names are a weird mix of the english and japanese name (i.e. Joey Katsuya and not Jounichi katsuya) and 2 that the opening and ending arent translated

A fascinating note in one of my favorite series. Also, your use of Asuras Wrath really lit my fire today. Asuras Wrath is one of my favorite games of all time.

Or possibly parents complaining that the Uncut was too violent and too demonic for children.

[@CyberSoulgem]

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

[@danielbarrios4379]

where i may download japansese version ?

[@rocketmanart7964]

I am glad that english dubs now a days are uncut and uncensored.

[@JulianTruant]

Honestly, they should've done atleast 6 episodes a DVD. Majority of uncut Anime back in that time was atleast 6 episodes a disc. There was a bigger uncut anime market back then than you give credit. I had Chobits,Gate Keepers, Kurumi, Bubblegum Crisis 2024, Evangelion, multiple series from ADVfilms, all before 2005 having a lot more than just 3eps a disc. That turned me away from buyinh Yugioh uncut. I was going to wait until they got to the 2nd season. Oh well. I didn't mind the name mixing. It reminded me what they did in the English versions of Digimon.
