Well, what does exist in the Japanese version are the Shadow Duels (Yami no Duel) and usually, those who lose die in this wierd other dimension the duel takes place in (like in 5D's, where actual damage is involved during the duels, see Dark Signers, Infinity Trio).

Yeah. that and Marik's little Penalty games were real as well. althiugh a bit more brutal than the Dub would lead you to expect. If I remember right, Mai's Shadow Duel was she had scarabs eating her brain, taking memories as she took damage/lost monsters

I think that was only in the mango. Also, in the manga... when she lost, and when Marik locked her away in that pyramid thingamajig, there were scarabs in there, instead of sand.

Bull. [parasitic bomb].

Brooklyn Joey is all I have to say on the matter.

Well, original Yugioh is really the ONLY place where the voices seemed to somewhat fit. 5D's however, is a different story. Tristan was probably the worst VA there, and since he was a side character with rarely any action, it wored out. but when that VA is doing the voice of the main protagonist... Weve got biiig problem.

Plus, who was saying anything about voices?

America and the dubbing of Anime has ALWAYS had problems, so Voices are the LAST thing I judge. Its everything else that matters. like, do they censor anything? cut anything? etc etc. Now, with other companies, there usually is no real issue there, so it just goes on to the voices. But with 4kids...

Wasn't the one in the manga whatever happens to your monster happens to you? I remember a scan of one of Mai's monsters killing one of Marik's and his head getting cut or something.

Yeah, after searching in Google I found out it was.

Oh stop it, PB. Everybody knows you're just saying that, because you hail from New York.
Tough I admit, Brooklyn Joey wasn't that bad, in fact, he was quite good. Still, if the writing for the dub was better, I would have liked him more.

: P

As for Yusei's voice in the dub.
I say, it fits quite well. Sure it's TRISTAN, but... hell, I like it.

My favorite voice is still Carly/Commander Mars/Amy Rose tough.

It makes the quiet calm and reserved character sound like a smart talking punk. its rather out of character. or rather- it's Tristan. The VA is so bad he cant change tones with his characters. I mean, even Dan Green can go from SRS BSNSS CARD GAMES, to Morshu the ice cream man.
Might I add the Tristan/Yusei guy cant fake a scream to save his life?

LoL, that's part of the reason, but it's really just because it's such an absurd idea that it's brilliant.

Flame · **Reply #409 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:38:49 AM

So I saw 109. Yusei finally pulls through and has his moment there,
But- Am I the only one starting to get pissed off by the direction they seem to be shoving Carly and Aki?

Carly seems to now be no more than the comic relief, They all but dropped any real interaction between her and Jack- romantic or not, and Aki is being shoehorned into the default cheerleader mold. They TERRIBLY underplay her psychic dueling ability, which while she may call a curse, would actually be pretty damn useful in the situation instead of risking being swept away by the twister.

I hope they FIX this, and FAST.

Rin · **Reply #410 on:** May 15, 2010, 03:21:09 PM

Useless females in animu?
It's more likely than you think.

If you want a romantic subplot which actually goes somewhere, and useful females... go and watch Wakfu. [HINT HINT]

Still, this is an another reason why I'm not watching 5D's anymore. : /

TheOnly · **Reply #412 on:** May 17, 2010, 11:35:06 PM

Yeaaa, not following you as well. But 5ds is still running, so HEY! You may never know!

Flame · **Reply #413 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:17:24 AM

At the risk of this being old news to the rest of the world... Im just going to post it in the 5D's topic since its still Yugioh.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ProjectYGO

I guess it could be called the sister to Abridged. its a dubbing project to give us the American Yugioh we never got, (and likely will never get)

Its a full dubbing project on the Japanese version of Yugioh.

With the guest voice of Little Kuriboh as Grandpa.

You missed the part where this is an uncut dub using the ORIGINAL JAPANESE episodes, instead of the edited/cut 4kids ones.
Its not perfect, but its not too bad for a fan dub, its decent.

You're just saying that because you hate 4Kids.

The 4Kids YuGiOh dub was awesome.

Flame · **Reply #417 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:38:41 AM

the voices werent bad. they were fine. 4kids just for dubbing, has pretty good voice actors IMO, they get emotions much better than many dubs do.
Everything ELSE they did TO the show, wasnt fine.

Archer · **Reply #418 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:40:17 AM

Wow, 4Kids hate.

How original.

Rin · **Reply #420 on:** May 28, 2010, 11:53:42 AM

I also only hate the edits they do.
If they at least released uncut versions on DVD or something, then it would be a-okay.
I so want to hear my Amy Commander Carly in a uncut version of the dub. : P

Also lol fandub

Flame · **Reply #421 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:31:35 PM

Well, they did make Uncut dubbed DVD's for a while, but they stopped because of poor sales i think.
(Lol, because anyone who wants to see it uncut will just find it online)

So yeah, I almost soiled myself yesterday when I discovered that the local TV station airing Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's suddenly started airing the series from episode 65 onwards without any of the 4Kids Edits. Original Japanese opening, original Japanese soundtrack, original Japanese cards. It would appear that 4Kids really is in deep [parasitic bomb] when a German TV channel actually manages to get the original footage even though 4Kids is supposed to have the worldwide rights to the show.

There's still some minor edits though (since afterall, everybody thinks this kind of show is something only children under the age of 10 should watch), but it was quite intact I have to say. It was almost creepy to actually see this on television. The German dub is still [parasitic bomb] though.

The channel is called RTL II. They also aired the previous Yu-Gi-Oh! series (but like in the US, no fourth season of GX) and a whole lot of other anime, though they've been critized just as much because they cut a lot of stuff and use 4Kids material.

As I said, the episodes I saw so far had some mild edits, but so far nothing as excessive. For instance, during the VS screens, if a character's name was changed in the dub, that would be editted as well. As such, when there's the duel VS screen for Ushio and Ghost in episode 65, it got editted into Trudge. And you notice it was edited because the font is different.

And just to clarify, that channel aired the US edited version of 5D's until the 25th and then switched for the "new" version starting with episode 65, the beginning of "season 3".
