Wait, hold up, back up the broomstick. The US dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! edited the guns out of the dudes' hands? I missed this when rewatching 1x08 as dub not sub, because I was more relistening than rewatching, but the last-time-on for 1x09 has that clip and there are no guns why are there no guns.

*snerk* ayup, they did indeed. They edited a hell of a lot in an attempt to make it child-friendly. Or something. Guns, boobs, punches that are actually kinda really super plot-relevant... There's a reason 90% of the fandom hates the dub.

[alexseanchai]

...but the subtitles on my subs are SUCH CRAP.

:/ that sucks. I can ask high school bff where she got hers from (... and whether they're decent), but she's had them for years, so I dunno how successful that might be.

[alexseanchai]

That would be appreciated.

[sylvaine]

Ok, she doesn't remember where she got her YGO subs from, but she got the YGO 5D's subs from pinoyanime.com, so it's possible the YGO original subs from there are good, too. Sorry I can't be of more help than that!

[alexseanchai]

Thanks!

...oh gosh, dubs edited for broadcast. It's probably been fifteen years, easily, since I tried to watch one, and the memory of how some shows got butchered still horrifies me.

[alexseanchai]

Wheeee.

I'm shocked, considering how pervasive gun culture is in the US.

KidsWB had a THING about guns. I don't get it either. But it does give us the comedy gold of Kaiba jumping out a very high window because two men in suits pointed sternly at him.

[redsixwing]

*pffft* Oh, I'd forgotten about that.

[dragovianknight]

That is pretty much my favorite moment in the series. "Holy crap, they're Pointing Sternly! I must fleeeeee...!"

[alexseanchai]

Heeeee

[alexseanchai]

YES THIS
