So I watched some of 5Ds to try and understand why Yusei’s got that tattoo on his face. They made applying it look a LOT less painful than I expected. And prisoners who aren’t handcuffed? Weird ass New Domino.

Are you watching the english dub or the…

Unfortunately I thought the English dub would be decent. Bad news for me. I’m sticking with the Japanese/English sub from now on

Yeahhh that scene is drastically different in the Japanese version lol.  I mean, Yusei gets that mark burned into him, and then when he falls onto the floor from the pain, the guards pull his head up so he pays attention to the judge telling him that he has “no livelihood” now.  That part gets cut out of the dub, and I can’t say I like the lighter tone they gave that scene in general (like Yusei joking, the judge “blah blah”-ing what should be a huge offense in Neo Domino).

If it helps, you can read up on that episode and how the dub altered it here on my comparison site.  Definitely stick with the JP version, because a LOT of 5D’s pre-WRGP and especially the Fortune Cup arc wasn’t exactly dubbed well.  Also, speaking as someone who saw the JP version first as it aired (which is why the edits irk me enough to do these comparisons lol), the music and everything else the Japanese version offers makes the experience a lot better. :)
