Angry Nadya's Top Ten List of Why censors suck NstantAnarchist@webtv.net Ok, lets all face it: Censorship pervades every thing in Yu-Gi-Oh. I hate Censors. Either the censors are stupid, or Americans are more narrow minded than I thought. 10. Jinzo: What was UDE thinking? Were they smoking something while coming up with names. Come on, ANDROID PSYCHO SHOCKER is a very cool name (well, at least they didnt name it Android With Bipolar). I can just imagine the scene where they came up with Jinzos name Guy 1: I am offended by the name Android Psycho Shocker. The families of those who are mentally ill may get angry. Guy 2: Hey, it brings mental illness in the spotlight. Guy 1: This is the kind of card that would be in the Terminator movies. Wait...Terminator...synthetic. SYNTHETIC IS JINZO IN JAPANESE! Guy 2: No wonder you get raises all the time. 9. Mefist the Infernal General. Oh come on! That name sucks. "infernal?" The only time I heard Infernal was in a book, and it said something like "That infernal idiot." Hellish General Mephisto...YEAH BABY! Just hearing that name would make you hide under the bed. A crazy looking dude on a horse with a gigantic axe deserves a cool name, even though the card sucks. 8. Fiends My favorite type of monster, except the censors sullied it with their psudo-morals and crap. Demon as a type of monster brings out the evil inside; Fiend sounds like some lowly creature. Look at Dark Ruler Ha Des. He looks like a vicious DEMON, not some crappy fiend. 7. Dark Master Zorc OK, Zorc sounds like something from Star Trek, it has no use in the English language. His Japanese name is Undead King Leech. That sounds like he's going to drain you of your blood. And who doesn't like leeches? 6. Dark Ruler Ha Des I am really angry at the censors for that one. I could settle for Dark Ruler Hades anytime, but the idiots probably thought it was a reference to the afterlife, so they separated the word Hades into Ha Des. Dark Ruler Hades is a great name, and so is its Jap. equivalent: King of the Underworld. 5. Naked Water Omotics I have no problem with nudity. Its natural. But the puritanical idiots decided to give her some more clothing, and that makes me mad. Americans are too Puritanical and need to loosen up a bit about nudity. Society rarely changes, tho. 4. Trial of Nightmare aka Trial of Hell. Trial of Hell in English is super hard to find. I guess some dumb broad raised a stink about it and they changed the name. Parents are so hypocritical. 3. Fairies Oh wow a fairy. Brings back memories of a Midsummer Nights Dream with all those little fairies jumping about. Is anyone going to be intimidated by a fairy??? Now, Angel is a different story. Hell, some angel killed all those Egyptians in the Bible. Angels have an association with life and destruction. Fairies are just little creatures you could step on. 2. Black/Dark My great grandmother said "Common Sense ain't all that common," and bless her soul, she was right. We have Dark Hole, Dark Paladin, Dark Zebra, etc. Everything with Black in its name is immediately changed to Dark. But what about Black Luster Soldier??? If they're afraid of offending somebody, why did the original name stay with it? Does it have to do with Racism or something?? 1. Des Nothing strikes horror into a mans soul than hearing about death. Nothing strikes horror in my soul more than a Dead Camel or a Dead Kangaroo having their names changed. You look at these creatures, and they appear to be far from dead. Des Koala looks pretty alive to me, and so does Des Kangaroo. Des Lacuda is a different story. Its some mummified camel. Censors, taking away enlightenment since World War I.
