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

[onizuka17711]

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".

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.
