Hey, y'all. Sure has been a hot darn second. I won't lie -- I'm feelin' kinda like a fish outta water here without my boy Jay and all the rest of the Duel Academy crew watchin' my back. I guess I still got my Crystal Beasts to keep me company... But what's the point of a Duelist gettin' all gussied up with nowhere to go?

gx is so crazy how do you explain to someone with a surface-level understanding of what yugioh is that the series after dm features a hermaphroditic dragon-demon card spirit fusing their soul with the main character, who also has apparently been continually reincarnating for 100s of years with the card spirit's primary goal being to protect him, and when they embrace to fuse he says they shall never part again because they will forever and always from that point on be one jointed soul and body, and also he commits a borderline genocide against the card spirit race (???) and straight up kills some of his friends (they get better), and also there's a character who got his leg broken during an archeological dig and they replaced the broken bone with a dinosaur bone (???) and now he's like part dino and has fucking dino dna (?????????) and they send him to space as his dinosona to destroy a satellite that is about to destroy the earth (????????????), and also one of the teachers in the school (seto kaiba's duel school for dueling) is a homunculus and when he dies his soul (???) gets eaten by his cat and for the rest of the series he is living (?) inside of the cat's body, and also on top of all that theres a cool rival character as expected of a show targeted towards young boys who looks cool but in actuality he's lame as hell like he canonically stinks like shit cause he doesn't wash his clothes and he joins a cult and they get him out of the cult by reminding him that his real personality is being a rancid little stinky smelly bastard loser and no one likes him and he spends the entire series getting completely dunked on and also his main archetype is these things:
and then you have to concede that at the end of the day it is still an anime for a children's card game designed to sell the cards so if you ever try to explain the impact this had on your developing mind at 7 years old you'll sound sick
#i could have gone on. didn't even mention the shredded anthros the guy murdered for duel monsters the guy named The Ultimate D the#t#ygo#i would love to create a whole analysis of gx because i think (possibly by accident) it is truly a gutwrenching story#about depression and growing up and loss of innocence in adolescence#but i can't do that because i would first have to try and frame it in the context of a children's card game anime#and i'm just a little too embarrassed to#also because a lot of the most impactful parts are censored or straight removed in the 4kids dub#(which is what most people this side of the globe know it from)#so i'd be asking anyone my age familiar with the franchise to toss side their nostalgia#(a nostalgia i don't share because *i* was only familiar with gx through fansubs as it came on during a time slot i wasn't able to record)#(because i watched everything i liked on vcr because otherwise i missed it)#(and my mom's shows had priority so i could only record a couple. and i chose sonic x#anyways. all that is to say that jun manjoume (thunder if you will) would have been considered a transgender icon if gx came out today#and also every single character is autistic#every single one of them. because yugioh is magic for autistic gay people

I wouldn't have nearly as much beef with 4Kids/4K Media dubs of Yugioh if they didn't prioritise jokes over staying true to the spirit of the shows. Especially Zexal onwards. DM/GX/5Ds had their own issues, like the unfinished dubs and hacking the themes and characters in GX S3, but the way Zexal/Arc V/VRAINS become quip shows really bothers me.
Characters are watered down and lose their nuance, themes are simplified for a younger audience, and you get the feeling sometimes the localisation team aren't confident the shows can keep people's attention as they are if the characters aren't cracking jokes. The dubs aren't awful 100% of the time but they're just bad enough in a way that makes me mad.
It's not even like I wish the dubs didn't exist, for the sake of accesability they're a priceless resource and a lot of people wouldn't have given Yugioh a shot without it. I just wish they were different. I want people who don't want to or for any reason can't watch Yugioh subtitled to be able to enjoy the same stories I love so much.
#if you want to say but the dubs are funny then good for you#not what the post is about#if you want to say but the dubs are better#then this post is not for you and you can bugger off#and also not what the post is about!#*i* laugh at some dub lines but i still dislike the dubs#comedy does not make up for butchering my children's writing#yugioh#yugioh dm#yugioh gx#yugioh 5ds#yugioh zexal#yugioh arc v#yugioh vrains

Jaden, how are you holding that
#GX#yugioh#yugioh gx#ygo gx#ygo#Judai Yuki#oh 4Kids#this slip-up always makes me lol#going through dub episode 1 for reasons [to be posted tomorrow or wed] and it's funny how many errors there are#for example [which i'll note in said post] Big Shield Guardna and Gear Golem have an identity crisis about being Normal or Effect Mons#the crunch for airtime is understandable but for the first ep/even for later DVD releases they could've thought to look these over lol#at least by sometime into ZEXAL they're given access to the raw card-layer files so they can just image-replace probably but amusing

when you said “most egregious death cut goes to 5ds” are you talking about Pearson? Or one of the Dark Signer censorships? Like there a couple of options
#mistys kid sibling #or boomers hanging getting cut/village genocide
Oh yeah when I say that I'm talking about Pearson 100%
It has been a little while but from what I remember, up through the Dark Signer arc they do a pretty decent job of leaving a lot of the deaths as heavily implied as possible so that you can still understand and put together that that's what's happening if you're actually paying attention. Like for example, they edit Carly falling into like the shadow realm mist and all,
but they still pretty strongly imply through her conversation with Misty after that whole situation that she died and even that Misty has died as well. They say it without specifically saying it, kinda thing.
And obviously they can't show Greiger being hanged on a saturday morning show the kids watch in America, but they literally show everything except the Spider shooting the web and it wrapping around his neck. Like you see him fall, you see the spider on the ceiling, and you see the little figure of him like bob up and down in the wide shot, like they show almost everything there. And them saying that Misty's brother "went missing" instead of that he died is nothing new, clearly because they did it with Aster's dad and even backpeddled on actually saying Seto and Mokuba's parents died in season 1 to saying they disappeared in season 3.
But the thing with Pearson that makes it the most egregious death censor to me is just how bad the quality of the censoring attempt is. Literally all they did was recolor the garage fire purple and have them claim that he "disappeared in a purple glow" like what the fuck is that? Like y'all ain't fooling anybody for a second with that. 🤦♀️
Like it's horrendously bad.
Also shoutout to when the dad falls into the like abyss and dies in the minecart section in Crash Town and when Jack and Crow show up with the authorities at the end they just throw in Jack being like "oh btw kids, they found your dad, he's gonna be a-okay! 😀👍" like no he ain't he died 😭
#listen I always say you’ve gotta pry the dubs out of my cold dead hands but sometimes even I gotta call out some nonsense when it happens✋#but yeah pearson is my number 1 thought when I say egregious death censors because it's laughable. it's just laughable how bad that is.#aberooski asks#yugioh#yugioh gx#yugioh 5ds#carly carmine#carly nagisa#misty tredwell#misty lola#crow hogan#jack atlas#greiger#bommer#seto kaiba#mokuba kaiba#aster phoenix#edo phoenix

every time a hermit or a hermit fan makes a shadow realm joke incidentally I need you to remember that’s only in the english dub, a thing 4kids invented so they wouldn’t have to admit how many times people straight-up get murdered in the original. so every time there’s a shadow realm joke about the tcg, know that in the original japanese, they’re just threatening murder,
#THE FACT THAT 4KIDS JUST FUCKING MADE UP THE SHADOW REALM#IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE YGO DUB FACTS#along with ‘its ygo’s fault 4kids went bankrupt’ and ‘that time they got bored of dubbing GX and implied Jaden died’

This episode of GX is about the teen son of a warlord who brings guerilla warfare tactics into use while playing children's card games.
Putting tracking devices on school kids is about as above-board as the rest of the plot devices in this show.
Crowler and Bonapart suddenly look like the most responsible adults. (Don't think about that too hard.)
I keep expecting Viper to announce, "My HAIR is extracting bio energy!" etc. dat fro do
Here we see even Jesse struggling to witness Jaden's half a brain cell "at work" (maybe they can share?)
Once again Cyrus is the only one who can read the meta and see the GX world for the fucked up nightmare land it really is, being the most sane of them all while still namedropping Jaden and Zane like woah.
Chazz Princeton redefining the term "sass." "Know what's wrong [Cyrus]? YOU IN THAT COAT." Burn.
Every time I watch this show Jaden's dialogue gets more ridiculous. I still can't believe this isn't an Abridged.

Something that really bothers me is people being mostly sub watchers and then seeing a dub episode and complaining that the characters are "totally butchered". That's because there's a whole show of building that character in a slightly different flavor, y'all.
Actually, correction, something that really bothers me is people complaining about the yugioh dubs.
#dub watchers I am protecting all of you underneath my wide wingspan#sub watchers I am kissing you gently on the forehead#people who hate on subs or dubs I am breaking into your house and taking a bite out of every food you own#the amount of times I've seen people complaining about lines in the dub that I thought REALLY HIT#bums me out#I usually never comment on this because I consider it too negative#but y'all. y'all.#be nice#yugioh#yu gi oh#yugioh dm#yugioh gx#yugioh 5ds#yugioh zexal#yugioh arc v#yugioh vrains

my favorite part of yugioh gx is when THE chazz shouts "it's chazzering time!" and chazzes all over the place
#hnak vs ygo#yugioh gx#i'm watching the sub but i keep learning new information about the dub against my will#and by against my will i mean i keep asking my friend to look up information for me
