The God of Obelisk => Obelisk the Tormentor

The God of Osiris => Slifer the Sky Dragon

The God of Sun Dragon, Ra => The Winged Dragon of Ra

Just had to point that out.

As I've said before, I really, really hate the way they are making Dub Kaiba for the final saga in this 5-years-long series.  Kaiba has become a COMPASSIONATE person, or at least relatively for a CEO of a global conglomerate.  Stuart's Kaiba doesn't reflect this change at all, sounding like the first episode of Duelist Kingdom!  That is why this is a stupid dialogue change, when the real version Kaiba talks about how all three gods are on the field.  Here is another example:

"Yugi can't duel his way out of a paper bag, and got his lookalike to duel for him." - Dub Kaiba

Not only are 4Kids taking any humanity out of the Kaiba character, they are also making him ignorant.  The Japanese Kaiba was well aware at this point of the Sennen Puzzle and its power, where it seems the dub version Kaiba doesn't even care.  In the real version Kaiba said that no matter the outcome, this duel (Ceremonial battle) will go down in history.

"In three thousand years, the Pharaoh's sword was so sharp that no one can stand against it.  If no one can defeat him, this battle ritual won't succeed." - Isis

Compare that to:

"Fate will decide this duel.  If Yugi is unable to defeat his alter ego, the two are not yet ready to separate from one another." - Dub Ishizu

Why, 4Kids, why?  Do you think even the mentioning of a weapon, a sword, would send parents' panties in a bunch?  It is not rocket science that this duel pretty much decides everything, so can't you keep in some of the awesome dialogue?  Please? For me?

Uhh, wha?  Yuugi hasn't even done anything yet, the three Gods are still threatening to send his life points to oblivion, and you're congratulating him?  Really, when Regular Yuugi says he'll defeat the Gods and everyone thinks he's crazy, Pharaoh says "That's the spirit", more fitting with the bond these two have shared and also the situation at hand.

A massive cut here that pretty much takes a knife and slashes Yuugi's support team away to put more attention on the Ceremonial Battle.  Do I agree with this change?  Yes and no.  Yes because the Ceremonial Battle is the most important duel in the whole series and a lot of attention should be paid to this duel, but no because the compassion of Yuugi's friends, something that 4Kids actually enhanced and highlighted in the Duelist Kingdom saga, is now being ignored through this huge cut.  What was cut individually:

About 5 seconds:  Otogi calls out, "Yuugi", when Yuugi draws his next card.

8 Seconds:  Honda begins to shout some encouraging words to Yuugi but is stopped by Malik.

10 Seconds:  Malik explains that Yuugi is concentrating on a fight within himself, as Yuugi and "The Other Me" are now fighting on opposite sides.

23 Seconds:  Jounouchi recalls the duel with Malik on Battle Ship when he was forced to face the God of Sun Dragon Ra.  Says Jounouchi, "such terror is unspeakable".

Blah, blah, blah.  More stupid dialogue taking away some great lines in favor of reinforcing twenty times over what we already know.  Really, he talks about how he is standing here, facing the three Gods.  He knows this day would come, but he is still afraid.  He's afraid to run.  He's always been running after his other self.

And who wouldn't be afraid, at least just a little bit, when facing the might of the three God Cards?  4Kids, by erasing this line, takes a shit on Yuugi's character.  Remember, he is a timid young boy who, although he has been on many adventures, is now going against the three most powerful cards in all of Duel Monsters and is facing extremely realistic holograms of them thanks to Kaiba's Duel Disk technology.  I would be thoroughly freaked out too.

Next up, Yuugi summons Valkyrion the Magna Warrior to the field, then uses Mirage Magic (Mirage Spell in the dub in keeping with Upperdeck of America's obsession with the elimination of the word "Magic" from the TCG) to negate Osiris's second mouth attack, instead adding life points to his own count to 3400 LP.  Although not a change from the Japanese version, for all intents and purposes this move is sufficiently awesome to be placed in the Side Note category.

Part of Kaiba's Japanese dialogue is cut along with a close-up of him in the dub.  He says that Yuugi uses a trap card to reduce Obelisk's attack points to 2500, lower than both of Yuugi's monsters.  Therefore, it can't attack without being destroyed.  I can't say I'm sad to see this line go, as it's stating the obvious, but this negates 4Kids' great pains to state the obvious time and time again about how Yugi has to defeat the Egyptian Gods, save the Pharaoh, and restore the Sennen Items. 

Oh boy... I truly do hate it when 4Kids does this.  I wouldn't have minded it that much if it weren't for the fact that "King of Games" is a completely made up 4Kids title!  Really, he's just best at ONE game, Duel Monsters, of course he also beat Otogi in DDM during the Filler Arc, but for the most part he hasn't really played any other games since the Sennen Puzzle Saga, which was never dubbed by 4Kids.  Plus, we have only seen Sugoroku duel once, against Jounouchi as "Rock the Mask", a pseudo-anagram of Sugoroku Motou, or as Apdnarg in the dub, against Joey Wheela. 

Cut is a shot of Mokuba turning to Kaiba, uttering "Nii-sama" (brother).  Kaiba then says the Gods have no weaknesses, turns to the playing field and asks Yuugi in his head, "What will you do?"

This must have been a time cut, because it was a pointless cut by 4Kids IMO.  Then again, since they already cut a 45 second segment of commentary by Yuugi-tachi in the "audience", did they really need to cut for time?  I really really don't get 4Kids, never have, and never will.  These are the same people who gave up the cash cow that is Pokemon and have a president that says how "hot" an 8-year-old anime character is (Al Kahn, "Tokyo Mew Mew")

Yet another instance of how 4Kids is taking the Kaiba character and has mutilated its evolution into non-existence.  They truly make him sound like he did in Japanese Ep. 28/ English Episode 1 where he barges into Sugoroku's game store asking for the BEWD.  It is pitiful.  You, 4Kids, are pitiful.  Really, Kaiba is thinking about how even he can't figure out the weaknesses of the God Cards, and if Yuugi wants to win this duel he'll have to do the unthinkable, and duel beyond even his (Kaiba's) imagination.

Cut is a piece of dialogue and Isis telling Yuugi-tachi that the Pharaoh has strength beyond their imagination.  Why was this cut?  Does 4Kids want the Pharaoh/Atemu to look weak already, even though he has the upper hand, clearly at this point, with all three Gods against Yuugi?
