The Voices of Yu-Gi-Oh! - Did You Know Voice Acting? extra (feat. LittleKuriboh)

[@DStalnaker13]

I don’t want to imagine a world where Yugi and Yami aren’t voiced by Dan Green.

[@dylanshadowstar9779]

With the exception of in Yu-Gi-Oh abridged

[@ShintaTakama]

@@dylanshadowstar9779 and the Japanese version. Shunsuke Kazama is a perfect Yugi and Yami.

[@johnnymcarr]

Dylan Shadowstar same. Greg is great as Yusie

[@ExarAnubis]

I'm not saying they're bad voice actors because I can recognize them I'm saying they're bad voice actors cuz for the most part they do their own voice they don't actually do a voice they just do their voice take Cree Summer for example she never does anything other than her own voice she may make it a little bit high pitch if she's planning younger character but every character she voices is just Cree Summer

[@ShintaTakama]

@Santiago Scarpino I wouldn't denounce Megumi Ogata as inferior to Shunsuke Kazama either. Without her as a basis for Kazama to hear what Yugi should sound like, I wonder how different would it have been for him.

[@yeetedandi]

It’s amazing to think Pegasus the creator of Duel Monsters was voiced by now the director of the dub franchise

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Excellent choice selecting Little Kuriboh for this episode.

[@afroanime4589]

Is it really him i didnt watch all of it

[@EndingAbyss165]

It’s the ONLY choice!

[@lightyearpig12]

Voicing Tristan gave Greg Abbey super strength!

[@benwasserman8223]

No matter how ridiculous Yu-Gi-OH got, Dan Green and Eric Stuart made it sound badass

[@queenemma5823]

Same with Ted Lewis, who was the voice of Bakura. He could be downright scary in the show

[@alexhaupt2134]

I was hoping it might come up, but since the video focused mainly on English releases... The Japanese actress who played Kotori in ZEXAL was known as a big fan of the card game. The Japanese staff holds monthly tournaments, and she'd said to hold the record for most career wins! In the Japanese dub of Duel Monsters, Bakura and Honda had their each of their actors replaced after the first 40 episodes. In Bakura's case, it was due to health concerns (she eventually died), but Honda's replacement has never been given a reason. There are rumors that the Japanese actress of Carly in 5D's being part of a high-profile cult resulted in her termination from the series, reducing Carly's role significantly despite her inportance up to that point. It's also runored that this link led to sudden rewrites, changing the Yliaster group from an ancient cult to time travellers.

[@Kirbopher15]

Thanks so much for the additional trivia on the Japanese cast!

[@Seafoamgaming]

And believe it or not, the new voice they chose for Bakura was none other than Rica Matsumoto, the same one who voices Ash in the Japanese version of Pokemon. It's still very strange hearing the new Bakura voice and noticing the similarities...

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

Let's also not forget how Saiou/Sartorius from GX was voiced by Takehito Koyasu in the original Japanese version.

[@jolynekujobackfromprison744]

@@ArbitraryOutcome Who is also Dio in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Coincidentally, Sartorius' ace monster represents the same arcana that Dio's Stand is a part of, The World.

[@0Juliett0]

also something random, the voice actor of Yuya in Arc-V Kensho Ono did a "muda muda muda" reference in a staged duel against Jack Atlas' voice actor and now some years later he voices Giorno in part 5, it's not really relevant I just think it's neat

[@innegativeion]

A friend of mine once pitched an idea called "No Mercer", a fighting game in which all the myriad of characters played by Matthew Mercer would battle each other to the death.

[@obvious_humor]

Jotaro would win

[@toonboy2041]

That sounds amazing.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I propose Yuri vs Bailey, with Yuri Lowenthal's roles squaring off against Laura Bailey's. ...They're both my currently-aware awards for "plays literally every male" and "literally every female" ever, that's why.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@UltimaKeyMaster Well that just wouldn't be fair. Spider-Man would beat everyone. :p

[@RoseTintedPath]

A really good idea tho

[@mdudegamer]

Oh man, Tristan's VA also did Yusei? That's neat!

[@zamaskowany12]

I was suprised that Yusei's VA DID Tristan lol

[@ShintaTakama]

I don't care what anyone says... I'm really glad Darren Dunstan is so passionate about the Yugioh series. It was all him, Pegasus, to reunite the original cast for BBT and DSOD, and he also directs the English dubs of 5D's, Arc-V, and the new VRAINS.

[@TheTexasDice]

And don't forget the actor-duels in the world championships!

[@scorpionsapprentice3248]

dunstan was probably the best dubbed voice in the anime. he was able to give Pegasus that flamboyant, childish personality.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Oh thank God. Gregs voice for Yugi sounds so generic.

[@DaveReturnsagain1]

Welcome to Greg Abbey voice acting school. Sound the same in every role you do and you are good.

Oh Dan Green. Every time I hear Yami Yugi's voice I can't help but to hear Dan's more... lewd voice acting roles which he leaves off his resume lol. "Bark like a dog!" "Cluck like a chicken!"

[@Morgil27]

Lol, yeah I remember when I first found out about that a few years ago. My jaw literally dropped, and I immediately took to Google to find some videos. It took about three hours of digging, but I was eventually able to uncover a full episode of one particular series.

[@BmanTheChamp]

It was really surreal, hearing Atem say the things he said in some of those, ahem, episodes.

[@jcmarquezart]

E-excuse me?

[@chertikinamoto]

Crow's Nest yeah, Dan Green has done VA for some hentai. It’s...interesting for sure to hear my childhood hero say such dirty things.

[@ghoulchan7525]

this is late but. i found like an audio sample from one of those. but it was his Yugi voice. and it was one of the most weirdest things i have ever heard.

[@fanathan18]

...Yes, with the guy who does Yugioh: The Abridged Series, which is why he is featured here. (On the off chance you didn't already know that.)

[@WakoDoodle]

*Did you Know?* The voice actor for pegasus originally did the role for Giovanni in the pokemon Musical for American audiences which had limited tours. He was so good at his voice acting; that 4kids decided to hire him for Pegasus and has played that role ever since. *Did you Know?* In the pokemon Musical if you were lucky enough to go see it live, you were awarded with a pokemon card specific to the Musical based on the new pokemon featured in the show "Metal Mewtwo" and even had a image that was clearer to see than from what the audience could see; despite that the trading card is not made similar to the existing at the time: Pokemon Trading Card Game; so it cannot be played in it; similar to how they promoted the Pokemon movie 2000, where an Ancient Mew card featured in the film was given to those who saw it.

[@xarchanx]

Man, as someone who's been a huge fan of YGOTAS since it's early days, it's weird knowing just how complicated and real all the 4kids drama was. I mean, yah, 4kids was the butt of a lot of YGOTAS jokes but dang! Also, it's great to know the actual reason for Tristan's VA change. Great job, Chris! And to Martin too! Oh, last thing!

Did you know: (I'm warning you all, if you value your childhood with Dan Green and with Yu-Gi-Oh, then don't press the "read more''-button) Before Dan Green voiced Yugi / Yami and Knuckles, he - along side with Tiffany Vollmer and Veronica Taylor - voiced Hen***. If you don't believe me, then I welcome you to look up "cluck like a chicken" or you can just look up Dan Green ***tai The dubs are very cringy and the dialogue is "very cheesy". Just why and how Dan Green got a job at 4kids is a mystery to me.

[@TheItachiIshtar]

I remember hearing way back in the day that FUNimation tried to bid on the Yu-Gi-Oh! license, but lost out to 4Kids. In fact, apparently they had bought the yugioh.com domain, which would re-direct to the Z-Store. It would explain why FUNimation would go on to make a home video distribution deal with 4Kids, which included Yu-Gi-Oh! I do wonder what a FUNimation cast of Yu-Gi-Oh! would have been like. Kyle Hebert as Yugi would have been my 1st choice, if that had happened. Don't know why, but his voice always felt like it would have been a great fit for the character.

[@queenemma5823]

Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t not hear Kyle Herbert as anybody other than Hiei from Yu Yu Hakasho (even tho I know he’s done so many other voices)

[@HarmonicDX]

The uncut dub was the best direction they ended up taking. Wish they kept that going for a few seasons.

[@bashcleesattel2700]

Technically, the Singapore dub came before 4kids(or at least that's what Chuck Powers said on arlong park forums.), so that means 4kids used their naming conventions. It wouldn't surprise me if Studio Gallop chose to reuse the names, because it's less time consuming. Also, Brian Zimmerman, the voice of Pegasus and Tristan mentioned in an interview that they did 3 seasons of yugioh, meaning that approximately 50 episodes have yet to be found. Just saying.

Nobuyuki Hiyama and Kaneto Shiozawa also played some minor roles in this series.

You forgot one detail that at one point Vic Mignogna was planned to be the dub voice of Yuma Tsukumo in a Funimation Version.

Vic Mignogna was not planned to voice Yuma Tsukumo; he voiced "Shark" in the Bang Zoom dub episodes that went unused. There was NO FUNimation version that ever existed.

It's still kinda bullshit that 4kids somehow won that court case, the crap they were trying to pull was clearly scummy and desperate. While they were ultimately bankrupt and bought out by konami the yugioh dubs are still made by the same people so did it really change anything?

[@pichugamer5275]

I mean, Konami actually only bought out a subsidiary of 4Kids, which was their production team. So the people they actually had a problem with (aka, the people who were making the illegal dealings in the first place) were cut off, but the people producing it stayed the same. So in terms of the actual creation of the dub, nothing really changed, but at the very least this meant less shady dealings involving the show.
