We should all agree that the Shadow Realm is actually a terrifying concept because if you lose/cheat you get sent to whats essentially HELL even if you're a good person.

Japanese: violence & partial nudity
English: *Shadow realm*

[armjjb]

Me: *Only ever watched the English dub as a kid*
WM: "There is no Shadow Realm!"
Me: *Surprised Pikachu face*

"LOOK OUT! THEY HAVE INVISIBLE GUNS!!'

" And we're not afraid to use 'em to!"

[cringeivore]

4Kids: Censors guns, violence, death/near death experiences, religious imagery and blood.

The Incredibles:

[Werntzy]

They really do need to make a remastered english dub of Yu-Gi-Oh since it's audience has grown up

[levischuurmans]

The fact you can make an entire top ten list of censorships of one anime, speaks volumes of what they did to this one. 😅

Fun fact: In the Manga, Pegasus used the millennium eye to turn Keith's hand into a gun and kills him. Gives new meaning to the finger guns.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

"In the original, Mikey ended up in the crossfire of an exploding tank and perished almost instantly."
Well, that's what Alister gets for not putting Mikey in Defense Mode nor even having a Mirror Force ready.

Kaiba: What happened to this duelist?
Detective: He was stabbed repeatedly in the chest. It's clear that he's-
Yugi: He's been sent to the Shadow Realm. We must defeat his assailant in a card game to save his soul.
Detective: I'm sorry, but he's dead. It looks like he wasn't even playing a game, he was just walking through a dark alleyway and-
Kaiba: Yes, which is why we'll bring him into the feds by defeating him in a duel.
Detective: He might be armed with a *4Kids hands the detective his script* ... a finger-gun ... he'll point at you.
Yugi: But with the power of friendship, we will prevail.
Detective: I better call the feds to deliver a couple extra body bags and some Hennessy *4Kids whispers into the detective's ear* ... some juice for my coffee.

From Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series: "Don't move a muscle or we'll shoot you with our invisible guns!"

Also from Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series: "I told you we should've used the VISIBLE guns! But noooo, you wanted us to use the IN-visible guns because they're magical!"

The amount of censorship in this anime is staggering.

[ElliYeetYT]

I guess on finger guns they were just pointing at him till he died. 😂

[turbosaiyan]

Noah: I *want* your body!

Yami: *Get in line.*

[SethColby]

don't understand how this show was accepted for kids when 4kids literally had to censor so much inappropriate things that were not meant to be seen for children

[Dwangz]

The finger guns are always hilarious whenever I see them XD
Also, whoever came up with the shadow realm is a genius. It's just become the easy scapegoat for every single adversity they face.

[DoNutx]

"Mom, where's my dog?"
"We had to send him to the shadow realm, honey"

[SGHS]

When I see the finger guns in Yugioh I just think of Finger Bang from South Park😂😂😂

[Robous]

Did you know, that tenacity, “Season 0” was a toned down version of the Manga, which had Yami killing basically everyone via games.
