That doesn't mean censored, it just means they omitted Japanese voice actors. Censorship is when they change or remove certain aspects of the games due to local obscenity laws.

i thought really, that america is most liberal country around the world, guess i was wrong. croses removed for some reason, are muricans anti-christian? boobs removed, are muricans anti-fertility? ankhs removed, uh again anti-religious sentiment.

electric guns compared to real revolvers are lame and dont really know why censored since there are plastic revolver toys for 5 y olds available all around the world.

though "Seal of orichalcos" is not censored in tcg for some reason while all pentagrams ankhs and croses are, i guess konami is ok with real satanists since this symbol is of Aleister Crowley - Thelema:

i guess they were clueless how to censor it since its just one symbol, or were clueless of meaning of it or maybe left it intentionally lol.

also the star on dark magician girl is as well religious since its jewish star of david, though it was used as well in witchcraft as star of remphan.

other censors:

just wtf all worms have their toothed mouths but Worm King not? wtf, oh maybe it looked too much like "va gina" for censors, because i dont believe any kid will realise these comparisons its just adluts. but still, the censor completely ruined his look imo and it only shows how sick they are since i had problem to find any correlation...

Fun fact: Konami is actually going to be running a promo in March through to August where if you spend $30 on YGO stuff at any official Konami OTS store, you can get a promo copy of Monster Reborn or one of Exodia's pieces (a different card every month) with the Japan artwork.

Also a fun fact: the Invoked archetype from the actual card game is based off of Aleister Crowley too as well: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Invoked

[Taweret]

so the Aleister is an actual card, the F... :D

also Solemn cards looks pretty much like biblical Moses

anyway i found any other references to anime if anyone is interested:

https://www.yugiohcardguide.com/sets/geargia-rampage.html
cards from this archetype/deck are based on mecha anime: The King of Braves GaoGaiGar
thats pretty cool

others:

floodgate traphole reminds me a lot of classical mtg artworks with goblins, such as this one:
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=10464&type=card

jovls of dark demise reminds me of mtg card recurring nightmare:

though yugioh card looks even more dark

d&d Icingdeath figure, i think design of this figure could be actually inspired by yugioh:

also i found some inconsistency in censoring, for example in ♥♥♥ version bandit keith has cross necklace, you know that all ankhs (egyptian crosses) are censored in cards but odion still wear them as earrings.
so according to konami censor laws americans are not allowed to be christians, while other nations can be religious. ofc im not asking to censor odion! he would look quite lame without these.

[NIKFS]

never come to germany then, we get alot of censorship all the time, even stuff like "lets take 3 episodes from this series and cut it into one since we wanna cut so much stuff....

[Taweret]

uh yeah i heard germans have oil instead of blood in video games.

[NIKFS]

we dont even get some games if theyre considered "too brutal" like dying light... you cant buy it on steam here

Im from japan, and i do have the jp voices, you cant use them in there?

[heart of the card]

konami isn't really a great company and they have a history of being very stupid.
just look at the metal gear survive, the canceled silent hills game...

i don't think they really know what they are doing. even if people from the whole world asked them to add the option to use the original art of the cards, they just wouldn't budge.
