Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS: 25 THINGS the English Dub CHANGED/CENSORED

[@QuantumB00]

That #20 got me lol Sub Ai: What happen to Windy’s partner? Revolver: After the incident, we do not know if Windy’s partner have survive or not. Dub Ai: What happen to Windy’s partner? Varis: Muthafakka straight kill his partner. Me: Wait Am I hearing correctly?!?!😦

[@yutatata]

i still remember in the dubbed version when revolver asking kusanagi if there's marshmallow included in the hotdog, and that one scene where zaizen asked for help, revolver responded "well that is your problem, not mine" i can't help but laugh hearing him say that line.

[@vgmaster02]

What is this, the Kermit sipping tea meme? Revolver: "But that's none of my concern." *sips tea*

[@kataphrut7740]

The line changes for Ai’s death scene may be controversial, but Mike Liscio deserves more credit for the way he sort of bridged Ai’s human and Ignis voice as he was delivering it. Really good acting.

Ai: How could you dump me? Yusaku: You’re wrong, I haven’t dumped you Ai. Me: You guys didn’t even confirmed that you were engaged to begin with.

Windy's partners death being confirmed in the dub was the most shocking one

[@thundermarisol]

Oh boy, the ending in the dub… I know most people were upset (I don't blame anyone, I can see why it is dumb). But to me, it actually feels like Ai was trying to cheer up Yusaku one last time in his own way, aka doing a joke. Yes, it does cut the tension from the scene, but it just feels in character for Ai to do that. He makes jokes all the time, and when you form a close bond with someone, you learn how to joke or make pranks with them. At least, that is how I view this scene in the dub. It did felt a bit weird at first, but it eventually faded away from me.

[@YugiohEverything]

[@thundermarisol]

@@YugiohEverything Oh hey! Didn't expect a response ^^” I am glad my interpretation makes sense! Hope you have a good day Dylan!

[@Signerdragon123]

Personally, I thought the complaints of the dub ending were down to horny fujos. I can defo see why it'd earn some ire, but it isn't out of character for Ai either.

[@mikai4738]

​​​​@@Signerdragon123I don't think it just pissed off fujos. I don't ship Yusaku and Ai together at all and yet, I found it stupid to take out the "Ai means to love people. I loved you." How come the dub has such an issue with love especially when the word is thrown around between guys? Do they think love is always romantic? So Ai saying he loved Yusaku is too gay? Come on, they should've just kept it. The ones who ship them can see it romantic while everyone else can just think Ai loved Yusaku as a friend, brother, whatever. Like telling family or friends that you love them isn't that surprising? Or if not keeping the love line then let Ai tell Yusaku he was his best friend or so? The dub just makes a joke out of this last scene when it wasn't funny at all. Ai made his jokes before but in this last moment with Yusaku, he wouldn't joke at all but be honest with him. Which is why the jpn version hadn't had him crack a joke.

[@bluebaron6858]

Also in the dub, do they say meatbag often as a nickname?

[@obsessivefanboy7]

I really wanted Ai to say "Let's take this outside.....I always wanted to say that" to Pandora in the dub like he did in the sub.

[@Lucario1121]

Also don't forget the constant "is a hotdog a sandwich" questioning that I'm assuming aren't in the subbed. Also the sign about Kotor saying how Varis dead is "retired" I think he also says "like, retired retired" which heavely is applying that he's probably dead.

[@Stinkfly3]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the second recap episode having drastic dialoge change to have Ghost Gal fall for Ai's acting with Playmaker complimenting the egomaniac in an out-of-character manner.

[@jorgecarrillo1044]

Another major change I found in the dub involves Homura. Or rather Theodore, or should I say ‘Teddy’ as said by Kiku. Is that he is made out to be some of genius in school, hence why he rarely goes to school. As opposed to the original where Soulburner is an individual that is still at a lost in his life. And kind of just gave up on life in a sense, thus ditching school a la a dilqunent. If anything he is of average intelligence and had Flame hack his way into enrolling him to the high school that Yusaku was at.

[@oresti9271]

I just literally checked #23 on the list. That choice of the Arc-V theme was worth it.

[@mikai4738]

I think the only thing I liked better in the dub is Revolver more caring when it comes to Spectre, Faust, Vyra and Genome basically losing their lives for him in season 1. The subs had him just talk about how his obsession with Playmaker lead to this fate while in the dub, he even mentions his fallen comrades during a duel and is more openly angry about what happened with them.

[@donthousand3296]

in episode 37 when playmaker defeats spector on the bridge they cut the part of him talking to the tree and instead he's just laughing and walking like a crazy man and then playmaker and AI run past him and AI goes "really.. walking!" and then spector Explodes off screen, that's my favorite DUB moment

[@mikai4738]

Vrains dub: Ai saying he loved Yusaku is too gay or whatever (despite platonic love exists) so we censor this by Ai calling him a meatbag instead. Also Vrains dub: > lets Aoi make a freaking Tinder reference > has Ghost Girl actually say she's shipping Playmaker and Blue Angel

[@LeoWell303]

As another commenter mentioned: Ai: How could you dump me? Yusaku: You’re wrong, I haven’t dumped you, Ai. This is actual dialogue from the dub. I really doubt they changed that line because it was "too gay". The most likely reason was simply because the pun on Ai's name didn't translate.

[@zexalbarian9819]

I was waiting for it. I am glad

[@randomedgygamer2191]

Vrains was the first series I saw entirely subbed and the last I'd seen in full. Might just be the only time I'll instinct think of the official names and feel weird about the dub ones, though few. There were a few things I was curious about what they'd change way back while it aired, such as that kind of relationship that Ai had with Roboppy.

Yep, a great show for many!

[@unclebrian8156]

I love your videos like this & I've been wondering when this was going to be up, like you I love the easter egg of the Arc 5 opening playing from the Hot Dog truck & I'm also glad that the scene of Blue Angel's head smashing into the concrete was taken out of the dub. Also Whenever I see Specter on screen, & this might just be me, but his, face, hair, & facial expressions remind me so much of Valmont from Jackie Chan Adventures.

14:07: Sub: Windy sends his partner to the shadow realm.

[@MrChillaxin2010]

During the final turn of Playmaker and A.I.'s duel, A.I. ask Playmaker if he was a good partner, while reminiscing about their time together. In the original version, Playmaker says that Yes, A.I. was the best partner he could have asked for. But in the dub, like with the Meatbag line, they make it a cheap laugh and have him say No, and that A.I. is the worst strategist Playmaker ever met.

[@christopherb501]

Well the next series Sevens surprised me with what they didn't censor. They kept Mimi as an adult, I thought for sure they were going to change that was a kid and Yoshio was her little brother, but that is all unchanged.

[@victort.2583]

All in all, I really liked VRAINS, and I think dub was pretty solid. The localized names were pretty faithful ("Skye" fits with the blue theme of "Aoi," "Ghost Gal" means the same thing as "Ghost Girl" and conveniently avoids overlapping with the series of hand traps, etc.), the quips were funny, and even Ai's "final" moments were surprisingly good (the dub adding a bit of banter kind of fits the dynamic between Playmaker and Ai, and they still had dialogue reflecting on their friendship). That said, I'd be flattered if I made fanart that was used in the dub... but it wasn't my art. Can't really defend them taking the artist's work without permission/credit.

[@victort.2583]

@J.B. Yeah, I think the hand traps are unofficially called the "Ghost Girls." I'd rather Emma's name not be the same as that fan nickname, though, just because it avoids a bit of confusion (I looked up "ghost girl yugioh" once before watching VRAINS to find the wiki page for the hand traps and was a bit surprised that the first result was the VRAINS character haha)

7) Honestly, this one kinda works. Back in the sub, Lightning’s stated goal, before outright revealing himself as evil, was to shadow puppet the path humanity goes down from outside of Link VRAINS. It’s not as humanizing as realizing via simulation that he’s the ultimate cause of a seemingly inevitable breakdown of human-Ignis relations and fearing culpability or punishment if it ever came to light but his actions would fall in line with the mission statement dub-wise… he’d just be taking the shadiest and most underhanded methods imaginable to get it all done. Just as Kogami intended. 8) I’m gonna have to side with the Dub on this one. While cutting Miyu and her shared backstory with Aoi in its entirety was rough, there’s also the matter that Aoi straight up spilled Miyu’s full name and alluded to her being a Lost Incident victim. While fully aware that Frog and Pidgeon were in the room with her and Bohman. And almost certainly broadcasting the duel for prime time, which she should expect as a seasoned Charisma Duelist. In other words, Aoi doxxed Miyu on live TV like an idiot and it’s not called out or used as a later plot point.

[@unclebrian8156]

When I first saw Vrains it reminded me of the show Reboot so I couldn’t help comparing the characters in vrains to the characters in reboot some examples were Playmaker to Bob, Akira Zaizen & Skye Zaizen to Dot & young Enzo Matrix plus AndrAIa, Kolter to Phong, the knights of Hanoi to Megabyte, Hexadecimal, Hack, & Slash, Blue Gal & Blue Maiden the grown up version of AndrAIa, The Gore to Matrix, when they “link into the vrains” when a game cube drops & everyone “reboot”s, their duel boards look like zip boards, & the duel discs look like the keytool the guardians use.
