I wanted to do this episode for a long time, mainly in clip form but I figure since I'm doing whole episodes from time to time why not do this one since Episode 13 is doing reasonably well. I'll tell ya this episode was a pain since this is one of those early Duel Monsters episode where they change the plot for Yugi and Yami which leads into Yugi's duel with Mai in Episode 29 and his duel with Pegasus in Episodes 35-39 so my first mission was to get the story more in-line with the Japanese version where Yugi is aware of Yami's presents but not in the sense where he's having full blown conversation with him. Mai's message in the episode was also butchered since it changes her original message of "Relying on Friendship is foolish " to "Yugi can't always depend on you dueling for him" even though Tea volunteer to duel for Yugi, he didn't ask. Mai and Tea's conversation was cut down in the English Dub before the duel.
The A.I. was being put to the test with this episode since almost everyone had an A.I. generated voice line with Tea and Mai having the most of the entire cast. The only one who didn't an A.I. generated voice was Seto Kaiba and that was because he only said a few sentence. There was one word Pegasus' Japanese voice actor said in English that I was debating on keeping, but I decided to just A.I. it so it matches the other A.I. generated lines I made. There wasn't a lot of Duel Links line I could use since Tea didn't have that many workable ones, even her DSOD counterpart didn't have that many to work with, but I used a lot more than the testing one. Since the intro that plays before the opening credit wasn't dub into English by 4kids, I used the one from the Singapore dub since they dubbed it and the narrator for the Singapore dub wasn't a bad voice acting.
Update: My dumb self uploaded this without the full episode linked.
Special Thanks to: Studio Spider for letting me use his Translated Opening and Den for previewing the episode and giving me tips on how to make it better. Was suppose to credit them in the Episode proper but I forgot.

Another quick and fairly easy one. I know OneRandomDude did this scene already, so think of this as an extended, and semi, more accurate version of his. I wanted to stick to the Japanese script as best as I could. Yami's lines were alright for the most part, it was Marik's that presented some issues since he was using Strings in this duel and since I have no idea on how I was going to add the same vocal effect the dub uses I decided to just leave it like it is.
Of course I had to rely on the AI for the first half since wouldn't you know it? That scene was cut from the English dub. I even had to search for the scene twice to make sure I wasn't losing it. I also use some lines from Duel Links for Yami to make some lines closer to the Japanese script, one insistence is where I readjust one of Yami's line with the English dub's when he activate Brain Control which I think works better then my original idea of just keeping the line as it was. Also went ahead and remove Marik's line towards the ...
I swear these things just get longer and longer everytime, lol. Anywho, this one was a lot relaxing since there wasn't too much change from the Japanese version.
Just adding an extra unnecessary scenes and some extra dialogue, but otherwise it was pretty faithful script wise. Used some lines from Duel Links for both Joey and Rex and only needed to use Fake You for one line with Yugi since his line starts off with him agreeing with Tristan. Went back to Ultimate Vocal Remover and I can say the difference between this and Media.io is night and day. This was always my favorite scene, even in the English dub, and while I thought the music in the dub perfectly fit the horror of Red-Eyes, the Japanese soundtrack just makes the impact oh so wonderful.
After hearing yesterday that Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of Yugioh, passed away I decided to make this clip as a tribute to him and everything he done for me growing up. Whether it be the card game, the video games, the manga, or even the anime. ...
I want to end the year with a bang. And what's the best way, than with a movie. A Pokemon Movie! And I figure we do the original 3 movies dubbed by 4kids that got their OST's changed. So which movie, along with their respective Pikachu Short, so I do?
Yeah, don't expect the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Uncut Dub to be coming out anytime soon. No, it's not cancelled. I just had no free time to edit a thing. I be lucky if I get one day a week now. The goal was to be on vacation for the Summer that would've gave me infinite time to edit these edits, but that got postpone and I been working ever since. In fact, I'm working double time now. So that's why things has been rather slow around here. I went from having 4 off days, to two off days, now down to one. To say shit is rough around here and I feel burn out is doing myself a disservice. I apologize to you guys. I would make something for you guys to make up for it, but if I can't find the time to edit an entire season of my favorite anime, god forbid I find one just to entertain you guys. If I'm lucky, the Fortune Cup Arc will be release by late December. If not, early 2025.
