[edit] Question about ¨Impossible Moves¨

It is true that the Main Characters use some special moves that are not permitted or are imposible? For exaple, Joey's Fire Swordman that is yellow-coded instead of being a fusion monster.

In the anime, Flame Swordsman isn't a fusion monster. The Duelist Kingdom arc of the anime was made before the real-world card game existed, and for some reason Flame Swordsman was changed to a fusion for the real game. 68.47.234.131 07:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
They did it throughout the series, just like they invented cards just for the show(the fairy tale based deck in the Grand Championship arc for example). They did it because they wanted to make it more exciting, thus they did things that wouldn't be permitted in the real card game. TJ Spyke 23:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
In Duelist Kingdom, yes. There were many, many moves like that. However, in Battle City, some rules are changed so less of these happen. However, if they did, it would mostly be because of a change of card. (For example Kaiba once activated "Virus Cannon, a trap card, without placing it face-down first. But, in Japan, this was possible because it was a magic card.) Eventually, by the fifth season, it is almost the same. 67.175.150.153 15:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about the English version changes

"removing references to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq"

When was there ever a reference to the Iraq invasion in the original version?

Yes, Yugi as he was walking across the city during the battle city tournament he saw on a giant jumbo screen filled with tanks, and a man named "Saddam Johlen".

If it was during Battle City, that would have been in 2002: a whole year before the Invasion of Iraq. Geg 00:02, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

"changing the setting of the country from Japan to United States" I don't think it is clear that Domino is or isn't in Japan but in the Waking the Dragons storyline they seem to make a big deal about going to America to visit Pegasus at his company's headquarters and they have subsequent adventures there. In the Japanese version where did this part of the series take place?

Domino City's probably in Japan, considering what was said earlier. 71.111.215.224 21:38, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hiatus? No.

Matty-chan, take a look at the Kids' WB! website. Notice the schedule for February 11? Notice that Yu-Gi-Oh! has not been replaced by a second airing of Johnny Test? 68.47.234.131 07:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, they changed the info today. But please, don't jump the gun with predictions before they're verified. 68.47.234.131 19:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Late response, but I knew that as WBDC.com said so, as did a commercial on Kids' WB! In it, Raimundo and Kimiko from Xiaolin Showdown were hosting and describing the morning schedule and I didn't hear YGO on it, but Rai said, "A full hour of Johnny Test!" Matty-chan 13:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Please remove the red links in this page, especially near the bottom. They don't work. Nate 01:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VANDALISM!

Someone keeps trying to change how long Yugi's been away to the Japanese date taking priority! It's the English version of Wikipedia! English version takes priority! I even said if he did it, it would be treated as vandalism unless further debate was discussed here! I'm going to report him to do something about it! Matty-chan 13:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I see we have another vandal. I clearly warned them to stop making the Japanese version take priority, but I just reported them. Matty-chan 21:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The English anime says 5,000 years, but I think the English manga says 3,000. And as far as the main YGO series goes, WP uses the English manga. My bad, if it's true; but I'm not positive. Danny Lilithborne 22:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

They use the English manga in articles about the manga. This is an anime article. Matty-chan 02:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hm, maybe an administrator has to protect this page so no vandalism. Iswatch19 10:58, 9 September 2006

That's only if it gets REALLY out of hand. Matty-chan 22:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

You know any fansub groups that does the yugioh second series?Shirleybiscuit

Wikipedia is not a soapbox. This is not a place for that. This is for discussion of the article itself, not the subject of the article. Matty-chan 04:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename?

Wouldn't it make more sense for this article to be called "Yu-Gi-Oh! (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters)" or something similar (maybe just 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'), as in Yu-Gi-Oh! media and release information? 'Second series' almost seems like 'second season' which is slightly confusing. It's not as if the series hasn't been given a distinctive name of its own. Also the article states that the term 'second series' is a fan name - and doesn't even provide a citation. Any thoughts? EvilRedEye 12:29, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Many people (especially fans of the English dub) don't know about the origional series and would not search for "Yu-gi-oh (seocnd series)." I think the title should be named "Yu-gi-oh! Duel Monsters," but I don't want to change the title unless a lot of people agree with me. Samatsuta (talk) 03:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] some story arc or saga is missing (between Battle City and Virtual World)

when they arrive at the tower of alcatraz (I don't know if this was the japanese name or someone made this name), they fight some kind of tower... duel tower? that's the arc that is missing in this ..... and it will be cool to indicate what story arcs are completely filler from the manga 189.129.85.81 12:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • You're right, the Duel Tower/Alcatraz arc is missing. I'll add a section about it.

[edit] Redone

I think the whole Yu-Gi-Oh! section is in need for a serious makeover. Everything is mixed up and confusing. Not to mention there is a lack of pictures. Yu-Gi-Oh the first season should be in a seperate section not mixed together with Duel Monsters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightmarexoxx (talk • contribs)

  • Not sure what your problem is. Pictures were previously removed because they violated fair-use policy. As for the "first season", I fail to see how Duelist Kingdom is any different from the rest of the story, other than the odd rules. If you're talking about the Toei series, that already has its own article, because it is a distinct and different series from Duel Monsters. JuJube (talk) 02:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] False information?

The article claims that "Duel Monsters picks up its focus from where the earlier series leaves off, roughly corresponding to the eighth volume of the manga series." As far as I know this simply isn't true, the only part of the first story that has anything to do with Duel Monsters is episode one and two (how Yugi put together the Millennium Puzzle, how Yugi and Jounochi/Joey became friends, and some of Tea/Anzu's backround story). Also, I've only read five of the origional manga books and already the plot line is completely different, so I don't really understand how the DM series could corrospond to volume eight. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to make any bad changes! Samatsuta (talk) 03:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Hm? I think you're thinking of the wrong series. DM begins with the Kaiba/Yugi duel, and the Millennium Puzzle is already put together. JuJube (talk) 04:03, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Changing the layout

Does anyone mind if I change the format of the plot section? I want to give it clearer sections and make it look less like a list, and maybe rewrite some arc descriptions to add detail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samatsuta (talk • contribs) 04:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3,000 or 5,000

The year 5,000 years ago in the dub anime was a dubbing error by 4Kids (4kids thought IT WAS THE YEAR 3,000 B.C not 3,000 YEARS AGO). It should only use the manga year/information (sense WE use the Japanese names for Yugi, Anzu, Honda, Jounochi). We should use the manga information sense 4kids didn't follow the manga information for their dub. 4kids changed the story and storyline for the anime. (O'erTheRampardos (talk) 16:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC))

  • Did you even read the adjacent comment before you made the change? This article is about the ANIME, so English version takes precedence. JuJube (talk) 00:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
