  It should be noted how 4Kids altered even the vocal characterizations in their Yugioh adaptation. The Pharoah&apos;s voice is like Batman x Superman, whereas in the JP you can really hear his vulnerablity as a juvenile. And Joey is so much more tamer, when he is practically a gang member in the Japanese. Strangely, Pegasus is so similar in both tone and script to the Japanese he even keeps &quot;Yugi- and Kaiba-boy&quot;. This is despite being that in a number of interviews the staff mention that they didn&apos;t reference the Japanese audio in the dubbing process.

  The Pokémon preacher&apos;s name is Phil Arms and used his church&apos;s funds to pay for his opium addiction.

  What really killed 4Kids was that they never did an uncut release. Other companies like Funimation would make a censored tv release, than make an uncensored home video release, which worked wonders in an age where the medium was still big money. Already on thin ice with production companies due to their shady business deals, 4Kids was deemed obsolete and was cut out entirely while the rest of the industry thrived for years after they died.

  Hell yeah. I remember all the soccer moms being terrified of yu-gi-oh and pokemon when I was growing up and I&apos;m glad someone&apos;s putting together some content highlighting it. I&apos;ve seen some braindead twitter takes about how the satanic panics were overblown and it&apos;s nice to see a well-researched video going over the cross section of 2000s media at the tail end of that cultural movement.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhF37PdFAm8&amp;t=133">2:13</a> they WHAT<br><br><br>I am German, and I can&apos;t decide what&apos;s funnier: the idea that hitler somehow needs to be censored at all lest the poor children might look upon his face or the fact that they thought a pair of sunglasses would suffice to cover his identity
