The Shocking Truth About Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist Kingdom!

This video explores how the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Kingdom arc was much darker in the original manga and Japanese anime than the 4Kids dub.

We look at the significant differences that happened because of censorship, violence, and dark themes that were changed or removed for the Western release.

This video covers several key moments that were altered, including:

1. How Yugi's grandpa was trapped in a VHS tape in the manga.
2. The manga scene where Yugi puts Kaiba in a coma after their first duel.
3. How Mai Valentine's design and actions were made less suggestive.
4. Examples of card art censorship like Harpie Lady and Toon Mermaid.
5. The violent details surrounding Bandit Keith's backstory and death in the manga.
