Phantom Darkness Name Change Speculation

[GymLeaderLance99]

Well, I think Vicious Claw, Beginning of the End, and Handicap Match! would stay the same in the TCG. But is Yubel - Das Abscheulich Ritter's TCG name really "Yubel - Terror Incarnate?"? If so, all I can say is: Yubel's last two forms got screwed badly in terms of names...AFAIK, they aren't even direct translations from German...

[stephen756]

when can we get a spoiler for this set

[spybot]

I think its a spoiler on yugioh wiki.

[wlsack]

I think its a spoiler on yugioh wiki.

Don't EVER trust Wiki.

Posting to see what my team of re-namers come up with.

[MasterDragon]

Dang. Would've been so much better if they kept the actual German. After all, Yubel is a play on the German word for "evil."

I mean, they could keep Raigeki, Kagemusha of the Blue Flame and Gogiga Gagagigo's names, so would it really be that hard to keep Yubel's German translations on the cards?

Not to mention, we can play German cards in the U.S. format, anyway, so it's totally fine to keep the original names on the cards.

[stephen756]

i just looked at the set and it is terribad

[wlsack]

Wrong. Filler

[Legato Bluesummers]

Dark Nephthys=Dark Phoenix of Nephthys

Dark Nephthys is just too bland, and it could look like "Dark" replaced "Sacred". That's all I got, though...

[MXBMXB]

Fire Trooper = Inferno Trooper

[Ridders]

Your terribad.

Seriously, you obviously expect 200% perfection if you think this set if bad.

[MasterDragon]

Hate Buster = Crime Buster

Hate's a strong word, so why put it in English Yu-Gi-Oh? ;)

Rainbow's Whereabout = Hidden Rainbow

Beginning of the End = Ultimate Chaos

Cyber Ouroboros = Cyber Serpent

[Tri Fox]

You do know that Combat Weapon of Gladial Beast - Demon's Shield is an Archfiend, right?

[JDGloom]

Nick is right, Yubel guy is ignoring that a German name would confuse children, and the OP doesn't seem to know that Ha Des is a literal translation of two Japanese characters, not an instance of a name change.

One-sentence posting for the win!

[DeathJester1324]

Cyber Vary = Cyber Vally

[GymLeaderLance99]

Actually, according to metagame.com, in their article about Phantom Darkness approaching, they say "Cyber Valley" rather than "Vary", so that's probably another confirmed name. As for the other cards, if they appeared in dub!GX, expect the names given to them, as that's usually what they do with cards in the TCG that have made an appearance in the dubbed animé. Which means we'll be getting Fire Trooper, and not Inferno Trooper. And by the same token, the name of the TCG Dark Creator would cause a little confusion if it was named "The Dark Creator", as that was the name given to Sarina's/Mizuchi's "Yami no Kami - Dark God" ("God of Darkness - Dark God") in dubbed GX...

[Pro-Moe]

Who is this guy?

[Poop Chute]

Destiny Hero - Drunkguy = mommy.

[FLictonic_CLipple]

destiny hero dunkguy- destiny hero dunkman? ? ?

Poor kids we cannot ask them to learn a foreign word, it's too difficult, if they spell wrong Das Extreme Traurig Draken the card may implode in a black hole and destroy the earth, no, let's just change those evil german words in a completely new kids-friendly ones.

[Wizard99]

Ha Des has a space in it on the Japanese cards as well as English. Anyway, Rainbow Bad Dragon. :)

I agree, can't have children understanding that some YGO cards have a name that a different language. I mean, we can't honestly have them learn these things and get more out of them, more knowledge out of the game and hell, I bet it might spark an interest in wanting to learn German in some kids.

But nah, we just want 'cool' looking names rather than something far more interesting. Just as pathetic as some of the censoring really, this isn't Pokemon, its not supposed to look cute or totally be for children.

[haoutimmy]

Lets see
Cyber orbouros = Cyber orbouros Zane used it and it was cyber orbouros.
Cyber Vary = Cyber Varient
not confirmed thats just my thought.
anything with hell into infernal.
anything with end into armagedon
Yubel das absullich ritter = Yubel the absalute terror.
Thats all i can think of right now.

[Wizard99]

Koalakko = Koalotter

Koala + Otter

[JDGloom]

Keeping Yubel's German name when Jesse was already changed from German to Texan (yeah, that one I still didn't get) just wouldn't make any sense. Yubel, Das Extreme Traurig Drache sure amuses me, but it would've looked pretty ridiculous in ads and retail solicits. We can have whatever opinion we want (I come from a Germanic background myself), but that's the reality.

The fact that this is Yu-Gi-Oh, a name like Yubel, Das Extreme Traurig Drache being seen as ridculous is quite funny to me.

"Oh noes, we got to make sure the name can fit for the children, for the stockers, the retail solicits, they must all be able to understand the name!"

Yeah, doesn't bite with me. It's a name, only people with pathetic grudges or personality would find the name silly seeing as its coming out of a children's card game, where people would find the idea of Yu-Gi-Oh ridiculous, a name is hardly anything.

And ridiculous in ads? People would ask what it means, I would have thought it create more interest in it and its real meaning. Instead of ending up with "The Ultimate Nightmare", it just sounds like its from a bad 80's cartoon show rather than the modern anime/game that it is :P

[wlsack]

Metagame said "Cyber Vary" is "Cyber Vally", not sure of the excact quote though.

I like the new names for the Yubel forms. The horrible German in the OCG names always made my eyes bleed.

And by the way, do you really want 'The Atrocious Knight' and 'The Extreme Sad Dragon'? Terror Incarnate and Ultimate Nightmare sound so much better, in my opinion.

[Aarikku]

Are any of these confirmed? Wouldn't Armoured Cybern need to keep "Cyber" in its name?

[Rubber Ducky]

Cyber Valley, Armageddon Knight, Dark Armed Dragon, Dark Nephthys, Volcanic Counter, Yubel, Terror Incarnate, The Ultimate Nightmare, and The Dark Creator are all confirmed. The rest, as the title says, is speculation.
