Wait 4Kids still dubs this?

[Queen HawlSera]

I didn't think 4Kids still existed

[C4RNIVOR3]

4Kids' license for Yu-Gi-Oh was terminated back in 2011. 4Kids itself is actually dead, it hasn't existed since 2012. The company is now called "4Licensing Corporation" and is still dealing with bankruptcy troubles iirc lol

Konami currently holds all rights to Yugioh. They bought up parts of 4Kids as well, and renamed them 4K Media.

Then why do we still have censored dubs and cards?

are you refering to the card game or the show?

Both...

FINAL instead of DEATH....
Dark Magician instead of Black Magician?

4kids didn't censor the TCG smartass. It's censored everywhere outside Japan, and in Japan itself.

At this point, they have looked/sounded this way for almost 20 years in the States. I look at that more as a bit of "You made this, now own it".

because why should they bother spending time and money to remove all the censorship when they can just keep using the current versions for nothing.

your logic is backwards. you think thay have to go back to every card and redraw them? while in reality it takes time and money to censor the cards. the artwork for the cards already exist on the japanes version of the game.

You want to maybe think about what you just said again there.

As things stand the censored versions exist and on the off chance they want to reuse them all they have to do is open up the file and press print or copy/paste. To do what you want even if the artwork exists requires editing to combine that artwork with english text.

Tell me, seeing that you are a game developer and all how can they"copy/past" as you put it, the censored art but not do the same with the unaltered art?

Because they don't have the art, text box, title and card framing saved as seperate items they have them saved as an entire card.

Do you have a source for that accusation? or do you just "know"?

as someone who watch only anime in ♥♥♥ i was disgusted by no ♥♥♥ voice options, but i got used quickly to english dub, its hilarious and not at all bad voice acting like in some animes i seen. Joey or Bandit Keith voice acting is so damn funny. and Yugi, Kaiba voice is so damn badass.

btw if you really want jp voices, try the mobile version. can even use the same account and everything. They have both jp voices/text if u want.

4kids have definitely made some very questionable decisions when it comes to anime localization (the really bad One Piece dub comes to mind), but the Yu-Gi-Oh dub is arguably probably their best work in the field to date.

A majority of the voice acting choices they made for YGO were pretty solid, and I definitely prefer the dub over the sub because of how much more enjoyable it becomes when the show is less focused on being dramatic and fully acknowledges its campiness.
