   Goin Against 4Kids...
I have found great respect for an author at fanfiction.net. Pulled out alot of dubbing things that 4kids has done that has XXXXed us viewers off.

Qoutable Qoutes:
(yugi's deck. American Name-jap. Name; A. Attack-J. Attack)
19. Mystical Elf - Holy Elf
N/A-N/A
ASM: That word, there's that word again. Funny how Yugi's deck can be
neither from heaven or hell.

45. Valkrion, the Magnet Warrior - Magnet Warrior, Magnet Bakilio
N/A - Magnet Saber
ASM: Yeah big change here, don't know where they pulled out Valkrion,
sounds like something from transformers.

(bakura's deck)
16. The Portrait's Secret - Possessed Painting
N/A - N/A
Yet again we're sugarcoating the whole spiritual thing.

17. The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams - Demon Dream Ghost
N/A - N/A
Where in da hell did they come up with that one, maybe we add some more to
that name like The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams that Feeds on the Unforgiving
Souls of the Pure or something like that. Otherwise just stick with the
first name, it's much better

21. The Dark Door - Dark Corridor
MAGIC CARD
I see not only is exposing kids to other cultures or views of thought
wrong, but so is trying to expand their vocabulary.

24. Sangan - Critter
N/A - N/A
Yep the whole let's pull a name out from nowhere is back, and for those of
you who think sangan is the spelling of critter in Japanese, your dead
wrong. Bakura clearly says "critter" in the Japanese version in English.

(Joey's deck)
26. Alligator Sword - Wyvern Warrior
N/A - N/A
ASM: Now we're back in business with this most annoying change. What's so
friggin hard to understand about a Wyvern. It's a mythological creature
and...oh guess I answered my own question.
EAA: Yes mythology is the tool of the devil..so is religion.

28. Panther Warrior - Panther Warrior
N/A - N/A
ASM: Gee, Jounouchi's deck would be good for learning about animals.
EAA: Maybe that's why they changed Wyvern to Alligator Sword.
ASM: Interesting theory.

46. Hayabusa Knight - Falcon Knight
N/A - N/A
ASM: 4kids what have you done, you've ruined that animal learning theme of
Jounouchi's deck and why...well we've been asking that question a lot right
now.

(Kaiba's deck)
8. Rabid Horseman - Minocentaur
N/A - N/A
ASM: Oh those 4kids, are they implying that if oxen and horses come
together they carry rabies, they are misinforming our youth.

15. Crush Card - Deck-Destruction Virus of Death
TRAP CARD
ASM: Such is the fate of a beautifully named card.

23. The Flute of Dragon Summoning - Dragon Calling Horn
MAGIC CARD
ASM: Flute??? A flute, that thing, oh poor misguided 4kids.

26. Vorse Raider - Blood Vors
N/A - N/A
EAA: Oh, there's something new!
ASM: Yes blood, we can't possibly acknowledge the existence of that, can
we?
EAA: It really "crushes" your spirits doesn't it?
ASM: ...


27. Bell of Destruction - Destruction Ring
TRAP CARD
ASM: Kay!
EAA: (singing to the melody of The Nation Anthem Tune) 4 Kids can you see?
By these evil puns! Oh so proudly we flamed your every stupid change? Whose
Occult & Religious words never stood a chance! O're the duels we watched
where so poorly chopped up!
And the Dragons "Flash Flare"! Slifer high in the air gave proof through
Yugioh that you are still here! O say does that sound like a monotone
dubbed voice! For your strive to be evil free, let Destruction Ring!

Well, this is Bandit, saying g'night!
