New Names for 4Kids' "Yu-Gi-Oh GX" dub

[rugrats1]

In a post at the Nickdisk Forum, someone has taken note of the new names for 4Kids' dub of "Yu-Gi-Oh GX":

Judai Yuki is now Jaden Yuki
Asuka Tenjouin -> Alexis Rhoads
Sho Marufuji -> Syrus Truesdale
Ryo Marufuji -> Zane Truesdale
Daichi Misawa -> Bastion Misawa
Hayato Maeda -> Chumley Huffington
Jun Manjoume -> Chazz Princeton
Cronos de Medichi -> Vellian Crowler

In my opinion, they should've used Western names that sound very close to the Japanese version -- "Harold" would be a better replacement for "Hayato". But "Chumley"?

And why do they need to change the name of the already-Western "Cronos de Medichi"?

Now you know why 4Kids is evil -- they desecrate the anime art form, just so they can be "TV-Y".

Changing names doesn't make it tv-y. 4kids is run by a buncha old dumbasses that have no idea what they are doing. I'm still surprised they havn't learned their lesson. It's a lot like the video game market. There are still a lotta companies with their heads up their asses that think they know what gamers want and how to force it down our throats but they really have no idea.

Yu-Gi-Oh sucks. It's not even anime. Something like that is pretty much TV-Y anyway, because, put simply, the entire concept is meant from little kids from the start.

Ya I think it's funny and sad. They change things for absolutely no reason. It coulda been tv-y without even editing it I think lol.

Like when pioneer edited out stupid things from dbz like gohans tears. It just left people to ask, do they like throwing money out the window? I know I do. Money sucks. It's more fun to screw with peoples anime!

I liked Yu-Gi-Oh it was entertaining for awhile. I just hate the friendship stuff. It gets from "ok" to MEGA CHEESY!!!! OMG..........

The part of the manga I read in Shonnen Jump was actually decent, and the spirit seemed a little evil sometimes too. But the show always made me conjure thoughts of committing Harry Carrie.

I have always held that Yu-Gi-Oh has to be about one of the gayest things ever. It's like Pokemon with a different name...

[Cidien]

Damn pokemon. That show basically ruined such a great game lol.

...are you kidding me? Wait, when did you stop playing T_T?

[Cidien]

After the original red and blue. Of course the fact that they released the same damn game hardly changing it over and over also kinda killed it. I dunno how it made so much money honestly. You'd have to be really damn stupid to buy the same game over and over.

[Kiruyuki]

Pokemon Crystal was my favorite game. It has so many new things in it. And the cartridge looked kewl ^_^

[Cidien]

Is that the one where you get to fight 2 on 2? If so then you could definitely justify buying that one. The people that buy 1 or even both of every new set released are completely insane.

[onizuka17711]

Am I the only one here who thinks Pokemon is...for 7 year olds?

[Cidien]

Not when it came out. Before they started marketing it to 7 year olds most gameboy owners owned the blue or red version. It was a pretty fun game.

[Kiruyuki]

Yes it was! I'd spend so many hours on it, it is not even funny. However I didn't play pokemon blue,red,yellow,silver.gold.crystal on a gameboy. I played it on pokemon stadium/pokemon stadium 2 which was really kewl. Playing on a gameboy wastes too many batteries in my opinion.
