YGO Anime FAQs

[Oracle of Dreams]

Alright, I've been a memeber of this forum long enough to have seen way to many familiar topics come and go or end in flame wars. So I've created a list of YGO Anime/Manga FAQs that I think are valuable to newcomers (or regulars) of this board. Thanks to all pojo members for helping me devise this list of Questions and Answers.

YGO Anime FAQ

Q: Did Joey Beat Yugi in Battle City?
A: We don’t know. Joey said he would get Red Eyes back when he was a true duelist. He could have given Yugi a run for his money but lost and Yugi gave it back to him or he could have beaten him.

Q: What is the original Winged Dragon of Ra Chant?
A: The JPN version was in Hieratic:
He'i ha'e rayh sureh,
Re'i re'a-re'a re'i areh.

Jhitu nu khetti no ahu reh'eh,
Su tu'aku re'i rayh kureh.

He'i fa eda re'i jhu tu'yu rah!

The ENG version was in…English:
Great beast of the sky,
please hear my cry,
Transform thyself from orb of light
and bring be victory in this fight.
Envelope the desert with your glow
and cast your rage upon my foe,
Unlock your powers deep within
so that together we may win.
Appear in this Shadow Game
as I call your name....
The Winged Dragon of Ra!"

Q: Who do you think would win between [two characters that never actually dueled or finished their duel in the series]?
A: Nobody knows. These topics usually turn into flame wars and never resolve. Chances are that if the creator of the show wanted there to be a conclusion between the two questioned characters’ dueling skills then he would have made them duel. Simple.

Q: In your opinion, what is the worst arc/character/duel/anime card/etc.?
A: Again, anything that has ‘what do you think the worst…” in the title usually turns into a flame war. Just avoid making topics like these. Knowing what other people believe to be the worst arc/character/duel/anime card/etc. is wont’ change your opinion on it and everyone will avoid pointless flame wars.

Q: What is the most powerful Millennium/Sennen Item?
A: It’s debatable. Again, I’ve seen tons of these topics and 99% of them turn into flame wars.

Q: When is the new season of GX going to start in America?
A: The rumors are that it will be aired in 2005. Now that leaves a year (give or take a few months) to air the rest of Doma, KC Grand Prix, and the Memory arc. Do I think they will get it done? Possibly. The point is that GX won’t be coming anytime soon.

Q: How does [insert future plot only available in JPN version here]?
A: Check Janime.net. That site had all you will probably need to answer your question.

Q: Where can I find pictures of [insert character here]?
A: Again, Janime.net or Kokoro No Naka has good pics of characters.

Q: [Insert character here] should have lost against [insert character here].
A: He/She didn’t lose, so it doesn’t matter what you think. If the creator wanted the Character in question to lose he would have made him/her lose. Simple.

Q: Who thinks [insert character here] is the BEST CHARACTER EVER!?!?!?!
A: Probably some people, but I’ll bet there are more who disagree and this will turn into a flame war, trust me.

Q: Does anyone know how 4kids will explain [insert random violent scene here]?
A: They will either butcher it to death or skip it entirely. It’s 4Kids, what do you expect?

Q: Which character has the best deck?
A: Yes, another topic that will lead to a flame war. Whichever one you think has the best deck, does. There, is everyone happy now?

Q: What is YGO ‘R’?
A: YGO ‘R’ is the latest Manga being released in Japan. It takes place after Battle City and before the memory arc. Janime.net covers this in detail.

Q: I hate [random whining here]!!!!!
A: Nobody cares.

Q: [Insert character name] cheats because he/she don't use the cards right.
A:wrong the manga and anime came before the TCG/OCG so they are using the cards correctly.

Q: What happens in the first season?
A:Its the first series and its about Yami doing pentaly games with people.

Q: The pharoah's name is not Atem its Yami!
A:Actually in the orginal (japanese version) and manga the name of the pharoah was Atem.

Q: Do you think [Character A] and [Character B] are a good couple?
A: There are no couplings in the series.

Q: What happened on today's episode?!
A: Janime.net will tell you

Q: Did you like today's episode. How bout the new characters?

# Watch the dub
# Move to japan
* Buy the DVDs uncut
*Stop watching the show

Q: What happened to (insert scene here)

Q:Where can I find a download for episodes

A:You can't ask for illegal downloads on pojo

That question comes up way to much.

[Oracle of Dreams]

Thanks for the list of character names. I'll add that and the where to download question.

[slingblade]

OC. Do you know that new comers NEVER read stickies? Look on the anime forum. They go making ne threads on topics that already have "official" threads for the anime. And at the top it says READ THIS FIRST. But do they listen? NO. The thread becomes too long and that's why FAQs will never work. It's faster to just answer their questions and lock or delete the topic or let it fade into the darkness.

As long as morons don't revive dead topics, then it's fine. The problem is that once a question has been answered, no one else should post the EXACT same answer. Once it's answered, that topics done. Unless, you can somehow elaborate in more depth then do so. If not leave it alone instead of incresasing your post count.

[That was for those morons]

[Oracle of Dreams]

Well there should be tougher disclipline for those who break rules then, imo. Regardless of whether or not the sticky is being used, it still exists. If it exists and topics are started using questions from the FAQ list then the user who started it can be disciplined accordingly. With no point of reference or discipline, expect the same dumb questions to appear.

[Nobleman_of_Crossout]

Excuse me for being somewhat cynical, but I'm about to be. I can see some of those, but it seems like you've covered just about everything discussed here, except "What/Who's your favorite [blank]?" topics. So, in your mind, what are people supposed to discuss here?

I mean no offense, I'm merely trying to understand.

[Oracle of Dreams]

Well there is discussion about the series and about the plot itself without flaming. I've visited many different boards and there is a way, believe it or not, of discussing anime without getting into flame wars about it. The GX discussion topics are going well from what I can tell, and there can be DM topicas that go just as well if they are presented in the correct way.

[Nobleman_of_Crossout]

I can see where you're coming from, but I don't know if this will help. 8 times out of 10, it's not really the topic of a thread that causes a flame war, it's the people posting in it. Any topic can become a flame war, and around here, most do. There's no real way to prevent it. No matter how many people you reprimand for flaming and arguing, there will always be more.

I suspect the reason it happens more in the DM topics than the GX ones is because there's more of a history there, and more diehard fans, which are likely to become more argumentative.

This FAQ may reduce the number of pointless threads, but as long as there are ignorant people and people who take opinions way too seriously, flame wars will still happen. I hate to be a pessimist (a lot really), but that's just how I perceive things.

[Oracle of Dreams]

Well I never said it would stop ignorant people, but it will cut down the number of threads that didn't need to exist anyway. Any thread can becomea flame war, but preventing as many as we can, sure helps.

[Nobleman_of_Crossout]

Okay, that makes sense to me. And I seem to have lost track of whatever point I was originally trying to make (I hate it when that happens). So I will sincerely apologize for intruding upon your thread, and be on my way.

[KuroKarasu]

Hmm...OK, it isn't a common THREAD, but it might help nonetheless.

Q: When will [insert card name here] be made into a real card?

A: Well, we aren't Konami, so we don't know.

[Secret Squirrel]

What? I helpful thread?

*Sticks*

[MetallicPyreal]

"Odion's" japanese name is Rishid, not Rashid.

[Horoko]

Also, that Ra Chant may or may not be correct. I did it, and it's sorta incomplete (As in, after that it cut off, and I couldn't hear anymore or make anything out for that matter.) Plus, there is several other versions of the chant....so you are better off just putting "A Hieratic chant" or something of the such. Since there REALLY isn't a "real" chant...but several different ones.

[myth buster]

Speaking of which, does the Japanese version Ra chant mean anything? And if so, was the dub anywhere close to the proper translation?

[Ryusaki]

The dub chant was just a bad poem. It had nothing to do with the original. Unless there is a hieretic word for 'shadow realm'. Now DarkMalik2's Dub Ra chant was much better ;).

[Horoko]

Ahem....that was ME who wrote the chant out (Which gives for my explanation on the last page.)

[YaMiMaRiK528]

Just 3 things.
Bonz's goons' names in the dub are Sid and Zygor.
Rebecca's last name in the dub is Hawkins.
Iron Heart and Christ's pet's name in the dub is Sky.

[Pharoh Atem]

How about this?

Q: Where can I find pictures of [Insert episode]?

A: Go to Janime.net and you'll find a majority of the episodes including GX.

[Ryusaki]

Ahem Horoko, I was talking about Darkmalik2's DUB chant. You must have heard it. Can't remember it right now but it was hilarious. Somebody must be able to remember it.

[YaMiMaRiK528]

Ahem Horoko, I was talking about Darkmalik2's DUB chant. You must have heard it. Can't remember it right now but it was hilarious. Somebody must be able to remember it.

Here it is ;)

"Great Beast of the Sky,
Please do not cry.
In Egyptian dead language, should I not speak?
Instead of perfectly rhyming English, week after week?

Ah, screw it all, don't shed a tear.
Just get the hell outta that goddamn sphere.
Envelope the desert with your shining brass,
And help me beat the pharaoh's ass!
WINGED GRAGON OF RA!!"

[YaMiMaRiK528]

I had a little time yesterday, so I added on to my previous collection of cards used into the anime. It goes up to the present dub episode. (172)

I'm pretty sure that's everything. If something's missing, tell me.

[Horoko]

Ryusaki: Oh, THAT chant. Sorry, it's just that so many people take credit for the one I did that I thought that was the one you were speaking of.

[Ryusaki]

It's OK. I can understand not wanting other people to take credit for writing down that chant, it must have been pretty hard to do.

[Oracle of Dreams]

Also, that Ra Chant may or may not be correct. I did it, and it's sorta incomplete (As in, after that it cut off, and I couldn't hear anymore or make anything out for that matter.) Plus, there is several other versions of the chant....so you are better off just putting "A Hieratic chant" or something of the such. Since there REALLY isn't a "real" chant...but several different ones.

eh, it'll suffice for the people who neeeeed to know, lol.

[Kopaka of Ice]

I have a quick question. Where anywhere does it say Kawai is Shizuka's last name? To my knowledge it is Jonouchi.

Great beast of the sky,
please hear my cry,
Transform thyself from orb of light
and bring be victory in this fight.
Envelope the desert with your glow
and cast your rage upon my foe,
Unlock your powers from deep within
so that together we may win.
Appear in this Shadow Game
as I call your name....
The Winged Dragon of Ra!"

The read text is the part that is added. You skipped that in the chant. Just to clear those probs that everyone was saying.

Anyway, I was already under the impression that Yu-Jyo.net and Janime.net were already the URLs. I always used those. Everyone just decided not to use the domain names and go straight into the hosting url.

[Secret Squirrel]

See, unlike Dawn, I am actually angry. ****, I just deleted god knows how many posts (I lost track after 60) because you all were arguing about a STUPID TRANSLATION. WTF. If it were up to me, you'd all be banned for 7 days, or longer, because you were so inconsiderate and immature that you felt it would be ok to spam up this topic and make ME do work to delete it.

If I EVER have to delete this many posts again, you will be getting more than just a post from me.

[jaws_is_ra]

thank you again i am sorry

[JosephW]

Were canI find decks that the Yugioh characters play.

Yugiohwiz

[Warakia]

Janime.net has many character decks containing lists of cards and there effects in the anime and manga, I'd say that's your best bet.

[JosephW]

Okay Thanks

Yugiohwiz

[JosephW]

Here is One

Q: What Happened To Janime.net?

A: They Moved To Here http://www.janime.info/

YW

[MetallicPyreal]

Here's a good one.

Q. KidsWB says that the Kaiba Corp Grand Championship is the last saga of Yugioh. What about the Pharaoh's Memory arc? They're not gonna show it?

A. Yes, they will show it. KidsWB have combined the KCGP and the Pharaoh's Memory sagas into one saga. Previews have been shown from the official YGO website.

[drmmillenium]

I was just wondering what the difference is between a legal and an illegal download of episodes because i would like to see the Japanese episodes w/ or w/o english fan dubbing instead of 4kids' watered down version.

[Ryusaki]

I don't think there are legal full episode downloads. I'm not sure about, say, 2 minute previews. Some official websites have previews. The only legal way to see Japanese episodes is to order the DVDs from a site like CDJapan.

Note: Japanese DVDs are Region 2.

[darkrunner]

Q: Do you think [Character A] and [Character B] are a good couple?A. There are no couplings in yugioh.

Technically, there's one. Pegasus and Cyndia (Cecilia in the dub)

[Bakura17]

that could help end flame wars LOL

[Horoko]

Wow, all this time hwere and I never noticed this.
Igor and Egor (two guys who hang around Ghost Kotsuzuka)
Seeker (Rare Hunter)
Those two never did have names. Rare Hunter's real name is just "Rare Hunter".

[DarthUltima]

I had a question. I watched a lot of the original show, and I watch GX sometimes and it's pretty cool, but I was wondering how the two shows relate? Have the characters of the first show ever apeared on GX? How many years apart do they take place? Thanks.

[99TourGuides]

Wow, all this time hwere and I never noticed this.

Those two never did have names. Rare Hunter's real name is just "Rare Hunter".
That must have been a doozy to grow up with a name like that.

[myth buster]

Who did Judai/Jaden run into in the first eppisode of GX?
A. Grown up Yugi.

[Horoko]

Hmmm, upon closer inspection, it seems that that one of those guys did have a name. (The one in the glasses) "Takaido".

[myth buster]

Can we have all the Capsule Monster threads condensed into one, please?

[Ryusaki]

Horoko, both of Kotz's flunkies have names. I happened to notice that they're written on that Exodia Rare Hunter's computer in episode 56 (right next to their rare cards, Firewing Pegasus and Twin Headed Thunder Dragon).

I can't read them because I can't read Japanese, and I'm not sure if they're too blurred for you to read them either, but it's it's a start.

[Horoko]

Really? I don't happen to have that episode on me, but if anyone can get a screenshot, I can try and read it.

[Ryusaki]

An Esper Roba question:
Is the 'Esper' part a nickname, like 'Dinosaur' Ryuzaki? He does ask Jonouchi not to call him Esper in the end of the episode.

And is Roba his family name?

[Horoko]

Esper is probably a nick name. However, it's odd, since the "Dinosaur" and "Insector" part of the name with Ryuzaki and Haga is in katakana, while Roba's name is all in katakana. So, Esper is probably his real name...or something, maybe.

[Ryusaki]

Hmmm...but Roba is his family name?

[Familiar Stranger]

For what it may be worth, "ESPer" Roba was profiled in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Character Guide: Shinri no ***uin [Gospel of Truth] (2002.11.06, Shueisha, ISBN 4-08-873363-0).

"ESPer" Roba (eng. Espa Roba)
DOB: 1 April (Aries)
Age: 17
Height: 172cm (5'8")
Weight: 48kg (106 lbs)
Blood Type: A
Favorite Food: Pizza
Most Disliked Food: Tsumeboshi (Stuffed Crab Claws)
First Manga Appearance: Yu-Gi-Oh! Volume 17, Duel 150 (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Volume 10, Duel 91)
First Anime Appearance: Episode 54

"ESPer" (someone with Extra-Sensory Perception, which is to say psychic powers) is his nickname and Roba is his family name.

He and his siblings are referred to collectively as Roba Kyôdai(the Roba Brothers).

[Ryusaki]

Cheers Stranger, and Horoko.

Darn, I was kind of hoping that Esper was his real name.

[Earl Of Demise]

can some one tell what the name of the 44th part is or what happens in it

[Horoko]

What in blazes are you talking about?

[DinoKing]

My question:

I know that they are questioning about the Teacher (with Pharaoh) being a shadow rider... have they answered that just yet?? I would like to know if it is true (if anyone knows the answer and/or watched the episodes in *** rather than english, or whatever)

Another question is: The episode with the news reporter that was snooping around the campus and finally got back to dueling since he saw Jaden duel... who was that character they flashed a quick second of that beat him down.

*sigh* he is yet another duelist with an e-hero deck...

[Horoko]

Daitokuji is the 7th of the Seven Stars. "Amnael."

That character was obviously Kaiba Seto.

[dub_hater]

Is This The Place To Post Character Decks. Just Wonering

i can not find the book so do you know a web site that tells all the info on it also in english

[Warakia]

i can not find the book so do you know a web site that tells all the info on it also in english

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Character Guide is a special book that was published by Jump right after the release of manga volume 31, which marked the end of the Battle City finals and the main story arc of the manga. The character guide is not yet released in English, although Volume 31 is slowly approaching so only time will tell.

You can still purachse this book in Japanese though, even in the states it can be easily found at a local Japanese bookstore. I was able to purchase mine at a bopoth at a local anime convention.

The character guide is very helpful, containing bios of every character, a Yami no Game countdown, info. on all characters decks and combos as well as every card played in the manga, and it also has a built in RPG game for extra amusement.

Not to mention having two exclusive OCG promo cards packaged in as well, Kessoku-Unity and Yu-Jyo Friendship.

[jaws_is_ra]

the problem is i can not read jappaness i have a hard time readin english and it my native lange

[Horoko]

If Viz wants to grab it, they can. It's not like they are keeping it from them. (Although that'd be pretty unbelievable, seeing as how many other licenses have gotten character guides, comic novels, and artbooks now.)

[Rakuen]

That would be nice if they picked up the Yuugiou art book. I've only seen it once on a japanese trade website, but that was the only time.

[ijigen_no_senshi]

Hmmm, upon closer inspection, it seems that that one of those guys did have a name. (The one in the glasses) "Takaido".

I think the other guy had a name too. In the credits of episode 79, I saw a name under Kotsuzuka and above Takaido. I assume that's the name of the second guy, but I can't read the kanji. Can one of you find it out?

[Horoko]

I don't happen to have the episode on me. Do you have a screencap or picture?

[Asuka Tenjoin]

I think the other guy had a name too. In the credits of episode 79, I saw a name under Kotsuzuka and above Takaido. I assume that's the name of the second guy, but I can't read the kanji. Can one of you find it out?

I'm not sure if this is accurate, but Wikipedia has an entry for both characters under their YGO anime and manga characters listing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh%21_anime_and_manga_characters). Their GX listing was helpful for clarifying the full names of Yuri Edogawa, Momoe Hamaguchi, and Junko Makita in GX so I am inclined to trust it... It lists the duo as Satake and Takaido. :)

[ijigen_no_senshi]

Let me see:

http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/756/untitled6zu.jpg

Edit: Thanks, Asuka.

[Horoko]

Ah, well, the question has been answered. Just for the heck of it though:

"The name is Satake." :p

Oh, does Wikipedia have anything on Seiko (Ms. Tome's assistant)?

[Asuka Tenjoin]

Tome is mentioned, but not her assistant... I think it is due to the rarity of her speaking roles in the series, lol.

[Horoko]

Heh, I actually had to look in the credits to see if she was even mentioned.

Sure enough, I found セイコ right next to one of the OB student's names.

[Rakuen]

all right, I have a few interesting questions.
1.) How can Malik be more tan than his older, blood related sister if he has never even seen the sun before? (Or maybe it was just a hidden gene)

2.) Was it just chance that the person to find the sennen puzzle just happens to look like the person trapped in it?

3.) Why have none of the main girls ever been seen wearing pants in the anime?

4.) Since Yuugiou is a popular kid’s show, there are plenty of clothing and toys on the market. However I’ve noticed that there isn’t any clothing or accessories for girls. If you ask me, that is completely sexist. Why don't they come out with any? There are plenty of female fans out there.

[Horoko]

1.) Probably because he takes after his father or something. (That, or the manga-ka didn't realize that foreign babies usually aren't tan from birth.) Whatever the reason, it just is.

2.) Considering that the puzzle wasn't found for 3,000 years, I'd say it was more like fate that Sugoroku found it rather than plain dumb luck.

3.) Shizuka was originally wearing a pair of blue jeans the entire Battle City arc, but in the anime, she is seen wearing a pair of shorts. Other than that, it's really not known why exactly. Maybe they all perfer skirts to pants.

4.) Uh, it's business. Kind of the same reason you don't see that many female Pink and Yellow Power Rangers action figure slots empty in the toy stores.

[Rakuen]

also on number 4, why arn't there any shirts for children above 5/teens/adults at all? After all, the show is rated Y7

[Horoko]

You'd have to take that up with Mattel (or whoever produces those cheap things.) I wouldn't have any idea (I hardly buy enough Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! products as it is. The last thing I bought was Sound Duel II three years ago, and I've lost the cover to it.) I'm guessing it's because that's who they're made for, (EX: try finding a Pokemon shirt over children's size and you probably won't.)

[Rakuen]

yeah, The yugioh craze has ended here in America. I wish I would have been into it when it was at it's peek... Oh well, that means more stuff at dollar stores! *toyota jump

[dragonballftfire]

These Postst were made a Long time ago. Janime.net Switched to Janime.info because of a Stupid Server Issue.

[Rakuen]

Do you think Misawa will never be let back into the school with that whole... streeking bit there?

[jaws_is_ra]

you might want to add these to the first page becouse a lot of new members do ask what was enditd out of the english version i know a lot of people that have never seend a japan version of yugioh and i have told them to come here to find out about the japan version

Japanese version assumes that the viewer has read the manga series. The changes made in the English-language versions of the second series anime include:

Americanization of character names
replacing the background music to suit a younger demographic
Replacing each of the Japanese opening themes (Rock/Pop songs by various groups) with a single(instrumental song done on a synthesizer.
reworking the plot in certain parts of numerous episodes and story arcs, mostly for censorship reasons, but also for unknown reasons.
removing all instances of weapons
removing scenes where two or more characters are fighting.
removing or obfuscating many references to religion, such as the pentagram or hexagram.
removing or rewriting scenes where characters die or are in real danger of death (In the English anime, characters are instead threatened with the possibility of going to the Shadow Realm, or in some cases they are "captured").
removing or editing scenes where monsters undergo some form of violent death (such as being eaten or being stabbed)
removing scenes where characters make obscene gestures
editing scenes where a female (or male) character or Duel Monster appears to be nude or might be wearing something too revealing.
changing the setting of the country from Japan to United States.
removing assorted sexual innuendo
removing much writing in Japanese and English (this resulted in the unusual
design of the Duel Monsters cards in the English version of the series).
removing any kind of references that could be accused of causing children to develop bad habits (truancy for example).

To get around FCC rules concerning advertising in shows, as well as to make the show more marketable in non-English countries, all the cards in the show have been painted over to feature only the card illustration, card element and the attack/defence of the card if it is a monster card.

[Zoro_Itachi]

Wow... you seem to think everything ends in a flame war. =\

[jaws_is_ra]

no i just think some pointer need to be made becouse i sick of 4kids geting all the blame for all the wrong reason

people say it is becouse thye do not want to show or becouse parents do not want them showing when there is a higher comp that makes all the calles it is cal the FCC
also so poeple will stop asking what is taken out i think these should be added to this topic first page it helps keeps some of the ? down about what is edited and why is was changd

[Chaos Swordsman]

FCC isn't the thing to place everything bad on, 4Kids do deserve blame too, and not all editing is force; some is made out of just plain stupidity on 4Kids part.

EX: "Chazz remembers his card spirits this whole time when hes in the society!"; "Banner set up Jaden's duels so he would win!"; "Atem's name is Yami, hes not looking for his memorys!"; "Zane is part of a ancient Cyber Legacy", etc. Also adding in bad puns and dialouge when theres silence and putting in sterotypes for characters (Frost, Lorenzo etc)

The reason theres no english writing in the english anime is due it to being illegal to advertise stuff like that on shows (or something like that).

Also, How excatly is Hallelujah for older ages? :p Awsome music too.

And I don't believe the FAQ updates anymore, its been a long while since it has. (2 years actually)

[Horoko]

The FCC's jurisdiction doesn't really extend on to cable, though. It's more a matter of the network's decisions and whatever moves 4Kids wants to make on their own part.

[jaws_is_ra]

but i have hear why the card looks have changed some many time and thye blame 4 kids for that i heard why do htye take a way guns and 4kids gets blame for that when the fcc has rules but 4 kids gets all the blame i think htye need to put blame were blame should be put no to just one place but to many places

[Horoko]

The cards being changed, for whatever reason, has to do with copyright issues with using the likeness of real cards on television. The FCC is strict, but not as strict as to make some of the changes 4Kids does. The FCC has no control over plot-changing information that doesn't deal with death or the occult, and instead, deals with important facts that make the story flow along correctly. (And like I said, since GX is on cable, it doesn't really have to get the tired and hackneyed treatment its other shows do which air early on local channels.)

So, yes, the blame does square on 4Kids, because if any other of the big five anime companies had gotten ahold of it, I'm assuring that it wouldn't be half as bad. (I'm not too sure on Viz, since they like to give their properties to different divisions who do things different depending on who they are. But, hey, they did Bleach and Naruto justice...just not that much on Gash Bell.)

[Roland]

4kids entire production department is poor to a standard from writers to VAs and music composers. This could be a department or managerial issue that affects the performance.

It just feels like the 12 or so writing staff are goofing around having a giggle at each others puns as they type the script up.

The VAs are very limited as a staff number and sound like they do very little rehersal or understanding of the chararcters there playing before recording. I do actually blame the writers more for this as they probably don't give the VAs enough background information on the individual characters. (if they read the original script more thoroughly they would) I have to admit some of the VA staff are exceptionally good (eg. Mike Pollock).

The music composers sounds like it's done by 1 guy and a very generic band.
It also sounds like the music director just likes synthed rock and techno done on keyboard. Either that or not much attention is put into the music department and quick catchy BG themes are rushly made with little thought. (I'm looking at you Sonic X)

[jaws_is_ra]

i am not saying 4 kids should not be blame i am saying not all the blame go to them there are a lot on places the blame should go

1 is 4kids
2 is the fcc
3 are groups of parents aginst any show that comes from out side the usa
4 nick ( the network they show the show in other countrys and from what i been told it is also edited there)
5 Fan of only dub ( i use to be this way but i finaly see that there is good in both)
6 Fan of only original (these people complan the most yes they have the right to complan but the more they complan the more 4kids does not leason to them)
7 finaly Konami (they pick the name changes for all the cards


notice on top of the list is 4kids they are the big problem but they are not the only problem

[myth buster]

Don't forget though, that some of the card names have to be changed because Magic the Gathering already copyrighted the name. That's why Reigeki had to stay Japanese, rather than being translated to Thunderbolt.

[jaws_is_ra]

how can you copright thunderbolt there is no way to do it i did not know copyright the card names

[Undead Knight]

They copyrighted calling their card's names. Thunderbolt is fair game do long as you're not making TCG's.

And as for a FAQ:

Why didn't (Character A) do (Move X) to defeat (Character B)?

Because the writers didn't want them to. Or they didn't notice it. You've probably missed a win before too.
