I was so shocked when I found out that the Shadow Realm wasn’t even a real concept in the Yugioh universe but, rather, an invention by 4kids to avoid mentioning death in the English dub
WHAT
WH
WHAT
MY SWEET SWEET FRIENDS
LORDY
U DO NOT KNOW ABOUT YUGIOH!!
YUGIOH WAS 100% ORIGINALLY… A HORROR MANGA, I AM HONESTLY NOT KIDDING YOU, it was intended to be a violent horror manga
GO ON, GO TRY AND READ IT ON MANGAFOX. IT’S FUCKED UP.
Before the concept of Duel Monsters was even introduced to the series, Yugioh was about Yami Yuugi basically being a murderous fuck who enjoyed punishing people with ‘shadow games’ that ended with losers being, uh, electrocuted to death, burnt alive, and a whole host of other horrific deaths. Other screwed up subplots include Kaiba being totally obsessed with murdering Yuugi/Yami and building an entire theme park to try to do so, Mokuba (Kaiba’s sweet lil brother) attempting to kill half the cast by forcing them to compete in a Russian Roulette with poisoned food, Anzu/Tea being drugged by a classmate with chloroform and almost assaulted, Jounouchi/Joey being kidnapped by a gang he’s been hanging out with and tortured with tasers before Yami electrocutes the gang and kills them all, quite happily, to save Jounouchi, multiple people getting set on fire, a man getting his head bitten off by Shadi’s pet crocodile Amet monster, the list goes on and on. I’m not entirely sure if it’s included in the anime or not, but Bakura gouges out Pegasus’ eyeball.
I honestly ended up stopping reading the manga because it was getting to be too violent and morbid for even my tastes
So yeah, in the original Duel Monsters Yugioh anime, people die. Death is a real threat. Even though it’s significantly toned down from the original first few arcs of the manga, which are just bizarre. Almost every instance of characters being sent to the ‘shadow realm’ in the 4Kids dub is censored ‘I’m going to murder you’ plot points. Oh boy does 4 Kids tone down the violence.
Here’s a delightful episode from the anime some may remember; Yami Yuugi fights some weird stage magician guy and during the duel they’re both strapped into buzzsaws which slowly approach their feet as they lose life points. No biggy - the loser just gets sent to the shadow realm!
Except in the original, the threat is that the loser of the game is going to get their legs sawn off and bleed to death.
So, yknow, now you know that not only did they censor Kaiba’s gun, but just a whole bunch of brutal violence and murder as well!
A lesser known fact about Yugioh is that there’s a missing season - Season 0, aired in 1998, which follows the plot line of the original initial manga volumes before Yugioh became an anime and manga about playing card games. It’s still significantly toned down from the manga but is a little closer to theme and vibe.
So yeah, welcome to Yugioh, which is definitely intended for little children!
I’ve never even seen an episode of Yugioh and thought everyone knew “shadow realm” replaced “you’re gonna fucking die” just like they replaced mention of death with “sent to another dimension” in Dragonball Z back in the day.
They did the exact same shit in GX with “being sent to the stars” being the replacement for waddup you’re gonna die
