KENN really doesn’t sound like he’s missed a beat as Supreme King Judai which is awesome (I still remember the chills I felt when I first heard him in GX 138, and I feel like I have a lot of his taunt lines memorized from the show 😅), though it does sound like he slips into his Judai voice a little explaining Dark Gaia’s effect, haha.
chOOOOUYUUUUGOOOOUUUU!!!!Also, I like his losing lines since we never did hear him react to O’Brien actually defeating him, outside of a few gasps and yells, and it’s neat that they gave him so many lines for cards he didn’t use but Judai did like Mirror Gate or even Skyscraper 2, and even the manga Heroes, at that.Matt Charles sounds like he’s putting in a better performance here than in Season 3′s dub (the lack of the voice filter helps, which felt like it was added to compensate for his lackluster performance there; he sounds a bit more convincing as Jaden’s “evil” side), aside from the awkward pauses before calling out some of the Monsters (though that’s kind of a universal thing). I like hearing the lines for all those other cards in his English voice, too. Weird that they used “Feel the power of the shadows” at his Duel Links line when SK Judai said “Show me the darkness in your heart” there…
One of my main gripes is still there, though, in how Konami skimps out on the extra detail to the effect explanations that’s there in the Japanese dialogue (Malicious Bane lowers my Monster’s ATK, but what’s it do with that difference? Oh, Supreme King Judai mentioned it gets powered up). I feel like they could get away with it, lol. Also, did they really need to give his Sparkman line the “Light ‘em up!” bit, or use “Centrifugal Cyclone Slash!!” for Wild Cyclone’s “Cyclone Slash…?” (Also, still weird that they’re using the dub’s attack names for Avian/Burstlady/Sparkman when the TCG cards and the JP dialogue reference Featherbreak/Burstfire/Spark Flash.)
I do appreciate that maybe 50-70% of his English lines are more accurate to the Japanese dialogue, like the “you’re no hero you’re one of my victims” line (though “you brought this upon yourself” not matching his “all is powerless against my ultimate power” line is a bummer since it’s so iconic lol); maybe that’ll come in handy for a thing later…
(Also, his theme isn’t bad, even if it’s hard to top Sad Duel)

5D’s “Dub-Uncut” Mini-Series - A Lance99 Project
Everybody, listen!
So, this was something I started a few weeks ago–the official Spanish YGO channel on YouTube flubbed a few uploads of the 5D’s dub such that they ended up uploading a few episodes of the English dub instead of the Latin American dub (21-29)–but with none of 4Kids’s background music! Which meant that I could swoop in and re-insert the original Japanese soundtrack (which I did by matching each track to how it was looped in the episode), but I wanted to do more by also tweaking the dub itself so that not only was it matching the original footage, but the dialogue was more in line with the original dialogue timing-wise (since I couldn’t totally salvage what they changed for no raisin). Hence, the “dubbed uncut” gimmick here. And Duel Links giving us 5D’s World also helped a lot, as it gave us the English VAs performing lines right from the Japanese version, which I did my best to squeeze in, along with some summon chants from later on. It was fun working on this!
Along with the more accurately-paced dialogue, I’ve also translated the OP/EN, the title cards, and previews (where I also threw in the corresponding lines to the Japanese preview from the next episode, if able) to give this an actual “What if they actually did this uncut” feel. Episode 29 also features the awesome English cover of Last Train - A New Morning that Mark de Groot did to that end, but the release I’ll post on NAC will have it as an optional audio track. I go into more of the specifics with each episode’s own release post, so check out the tag here to see what I’ve done with them! If you’re curious about how they look/sound as I edit everything, check out the work-in-progress videos I’ve done here.
Anywho, check ‘em out below! And always check this post in case any of the links break!
Current Update (2/22/21): I went back to all but episode 22 and finalized these episodes to make some things consistent across all of them and reduce some of the hardsubs I included in some episodes that I may have gone a bit overboard with–but this mini-project is officially done!
Previous Update (2/18/21): After starting with 23-26, going back to do 21-22 and redo 23-26, after over 2.5 years (somehow), episodes 21-29 are all done! 🎉 Unless 4K/Konami Cross Media decide to flub up more episodes somehow, I won’t be doing more full episodes, but you can keep an eye on my WIP-video tag or my YouTube channel for the occasional clips I might do~
