Kevin's Two Cents

Pfft. Crappy 4Kids ep as usual, just read on...




The Polymerization card in the middle of this combo set is altered once again.
Fierce Knight is now Giltia the Dark Knight (or Giltia the D. Knight in the TCG).  Pointless change.

The stone slab that Kaiba has been held prisoner on as well as the empty slab have both been edited to look less cross-like.

"I didn't know who else to turn to."- Mokuba
"Anyone else."- Kaiba

Kaiba was disappointed that Mokuba had asked Yuugi-tachi for help, but he didn't say anyone else in the real version. Instead he said "you needn't have".


Multiply is once again lightened up from black to yellow in the dub.

Little dialogue change: Originally, the Big 5 said they didn't Yuugi was capable of that (taking the game to the last level), and in the dub, it's changed to: "It's time to stop this rescue attempt. Take the game to the final level!"

Originally, that "unknown" seal under Yuugi-tachi's feet was recognized as Lord of D.

Name changes: Chaos Soldier ----> Black Luster Soldier and Dark Knight Gaia ----> Gaia the Dragon Champion. More pointless changes.


More changes in dialogue: Yuugi says in the dub that their monsters can't stand alone, but there's one that can. In the Japanese version, it's sort of like that, plus the word 'kill'. Once again, it's all about that seven year old demographic. We don't want little Jimmy down the street hearing a bad word, now do we?

"This might be our only chance! We have to work as a team. Trust me!"- Dub Yugi

We know this is fake. He was actually kind of forcefully demanding Kaiba to play Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which prompted Kaiba to ask if that was an order. This is one time where Japanese Kaiba is actually dumber *gasp* than Dub Kaiba.


Master of Dragon Knight ----> Dragon Master Knight

This is one instance where the dub dialogue is better than the Japanese's. The dub dialogue is talking about Yuugi and Kaiba maybe becoming friends, but of course Kaiba rejects that offer. In the Japanese, it's talking about believing in the cards. Flip-flop from how it usually is, eh?

"Where's the john? I had seven sodas before goin' in da pod!"- Dub Joey, in New Yorka Accent

We couldn't go one whole episode without SDA, so here we are. He originally was hungry, and wanted ramen noodles. Of course, the Evil Asian Food is banned from all usage in any 4Kids TV show. Seriously, though, I doubt many kids know about ramen. I know I didn't until recently.
