going over my 5D’s clips I’ve taken and good GOD i forgot how just absolutely hard as hell Kalin/Kiryu’s dub VA goes–ESPECIALLY here!! I love when dub voice actors just throw every anguished ounce of emotion into a performance, it fuckin rules!!!!!!!!!!

Yuusei Fudou
(season 1 ep 1) -
This takes me back.
-
One of the things I will never forgive 4kids for in the 5Ds dub is the scene where Yusei is getting his criminal mark.
(There were a lot of terrible changes made, most of them unnecessary, and I will always be salty about the 31 cut episodes, but this one truly takes the cake for me…)Like, part of the point of that scene is that receiving and having that mark is completely dehumanizing. He was completely stripped of his rights and his privacy over something that shouldn’t have been a law in the first place.
I get it, target audience in the US is 10-year olds. So cut out the agonized screaming – fine.
But then leave it.
Don’t have Yusei give some smart-aleck, completely out of character comment about it.
Kids can still handle serious moments, and Yusei saying, “Is it supposed to tickle?” just completely and absolutely removes the severity of the situation he’s in. Let him stay silent. Let the scene still be serious.

More yugioh media set after duel monsters has become a ubiquitous world concept should include the fact that “deck” can be used as an expletive.

Watching 5Ds, and obviously I’m at the fortune cup, and just. The translated advertising on the stadium is. Top tier.

YuGiOh 5Ds Opening 4 Divine Temple Arc
Note: This is a really old video from 2012, but is accurate imo.
-
Basically the Seto Kaiba of Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, but A BIT less egotistical, and a bit more dumbed down. Also, Jack has a harem in season 4.
-
“What’s up guys?”
“Akiza, Leo, Luna!”
“Look, no offense, but this really isn’t the best time for a social call.”
“Whoever said this was social, Jack? We happen to be here on business!”
“Business? What’s up?”
“Leo and I were surfing the web researching Duel Monsters history when we saw this.” -
“I can’t believe it! He is challenging us to a duel!”
“If it’s a duel he wants, a duel he’ll get!”
“He’s all yours, Yusei, do it!”
“Duel mode engaged.”
“All right, let’s rev it up! Here we go!” -
“Whoever this guy is he’s got some skills!”
“True, but just one more attack and this duel is finished. Now come on, Yusei, it’s time to take him down!”
“It’s time, old friend. Let’s do this!” -
“Napping” huh, Yusei?
Don’t mess with Satellite’s Shooting Star!
