Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Movie ~Super Fusion! Bonds That Transcend Time~

[Arynis]

Oh yeah. I forgot to point it out in my last post, but that is the GX version of Passionate Duelists playing during Yugi's turn. Sorry.

The animation was gorgeous and I'm glad Sethy was able to record it. It doesn't even suffer much with the 3D aspect taken in.

Oh, it was Sethy recording it? I noticed her username too late. I'll have to thank her later.

The first step has been made, someone copied the unlisted video and put it public, so it is only a matter of time before both are taken down.

Bah. Then again, something like that is inevitable and it was only a matter of time someone would, uh... miss the point of the video being unlisted. =/

[Ryusaki]

Bad. Ass. Good job everyone who brought back their reports. The subtitle style was nicely-chosen, with the exception of the fact that misleadingly using dub terms and names instead of accurately subtitling = doin it massively wrong. However, the idea of them entirely changing the dialogue and soundtrack for the release of the dubbed movie seems a little less likely after how awesome this preview went down.

[63cohen]

I think 4kids has been in discussions with Konami to take more liberties with the anime, or at least the movie. This could be a sign of it, then subbing the preview and all, using the dub terms. But in all honesty, calling something a Riding Duel sounds much more stupid in English compared to Turbo Duel. The whole idea of "Riding Duel Acceleration" doesn't perfectly translate as a usable phrase. 4kids just never came up with a suitable replacement, so we get Turbo Duel, Acceleration.

Spoiler: Just for reference

Press Release Source: 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. On Monday August 16, 2010, 8:00 am


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets: KIDE - News), the global children’s entertainment and merchandise licensing company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $2.5 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2009. The Company’s net loss attributable to 4Kids Entertainment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $(6.5) million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $(13.8) million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net revenues totaled $6.7 million, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2009. The Company’s net loss attributable to 4Kids Entertainment for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $(9.9) million, or $(0.74) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $(15.8) million, or $(1.19) per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $4.3 million in cash and $11.4 million in investment securities at their fair market value.

As the Company has previously announced, the Company is continuing to explore its strategic alternatives. The Special Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of our four independent directors is presently in discussions with several companies which may be looking to invest in 4Kids or acquire all or a portion of the Company’s business. There can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions.

“4Kids had a difficult second quarter as revenue across our separate business segments came in below expectations," said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. "The Company, however, did benefit in the second quarter from various strategic cost cutting measures implemented over the past year. Our second quarter 2010 SG&A expenses were down by 27%, or $3.0 million, to $8.1 million, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. We will be immediately focusing on further reducing our cost structure to bring it in line with our revenue projections," continued Kahn.

"At the end of the second quarter, we concluded our negotiations with The CW Network on a revised agreement which should be more favorable to the Company going forward. We have just started our advertising and promotion campaign for the rebranding of our five-hour Saturday morning block on The CW. We are calling it ‘Toonzai on CW 4Kids’ to emphasize that our network is the destination where kids can see leading Japanese animated series. The ‘Toonzai’ lineup will feature new episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and Dragon Ball Z Kai, as well as longtime favorites such as Sonic X, Dinosaur King and classic Yu-Gi-Oh!. Our TV ratings were up these past few weeks and we are hopeful that our ratings momentum will continue this fall," said Kahn.

“We also continue to work on growing our licensing operation, which historically has been our strongest business and has driven past performance for our other segments. We are hopeful that we can develop sufficient revenue streams from some of our new properties which will contribute meaningfully to our bottom line in the coming years," concluded Kahn.

But in all honesty, calling something a Riding Duel sounds much more stupid in English compared to Turbo Duel. The whole idea of "Riding Duel Acceleration" doesn't perfectly translate as a usable phrase. 4kids just never came up with a suitable replacement, so we get Turbo Duel, Acceleration.

To you, it might, but there are some people who prefer or are used to the original terms, me included. (It also can't be perfectly "translated" because it's already in English, lol.) Though, I wouldn't mind if they got to using "Turbo Duel! Acceleration!" since at least that phrase would be getting retained somewhat in the dub (and it's still better than "Let's ride!" or whatever they used to start Riding Duels).

[63cohen]

Sometimes, those original terms might be English, but make literally no sense coherently. Riding Duel is one of those instances. Same for D-Wheel (YMMV on this one on making sense). Many of the card names follow this, which is why Konami changes Psychicker to Axon Kicker, and similar changes such as Savior to Majestic (not due to Religion)

[Ryusaki]

Riding Duel makes perfect sense. It's easy to see why the dub changed it, because kids prefer things that are clich� and use words like 'X-treme' and 'Mega', but Riding Duel isn't some kind of weird Engrish construction. It's fine. And it's kinda insulting to hear English words and have the subtitles call it differently. I imagine the subtitles would have said 'Jaden' too, which would have been really bad.

[63cohen]

Well, Mark Kirk said name changes would not be in the subs, so I assume Konami went and did this sub. So I suggest not to blame 4kids for the subs, and blame the much larger company who will almost never listen to any of us.

But I do see what you mean Ryu

[cashman_11]

The name changes are one thing I never understood. When 4Kids said that they change the content to meet network standards, a lot of their other changes still aren't justified. I understand that the script requires some editing to be targeted more at the kids who watch it, but why terms like Riding Duel or D-Wheel are changed, I have to idea. IMO, D-Wheel (Duel Wheel) sounds less engrishy than Duel Runner. As for Turbo Duels, I agree that it just sounds like someone picked a random word to excite kids. But if the only changes the movie has to have are a few terms and such, then I really don't mind. I wonder if 4Kids can release the movie subbed due to the whole Yugi voice actor thing, or if there's a different contract for the movie.

[Lia]

Hahaha YES, YES, YES! All sincere gratitudes for the record. I prayed someone to manage to record it. I'm really grateful for this video, no matter it was kind of blurry, but that's completely understandable since people were supposed to watch at the screen with 3D glasses in order to see everything clearly. The loud fans' exclaims also deadened the sound a bit, but we can't blame the devoted fans. xD I was very pleased to hear how excited the people were when they saw Judai's and Yugi's turn - especially the boisterous, agitated shouts at Dark Yugi's turn. xD x) (People haven't forgotten DM! Thanks God!) It was something like:
Yusei's turn - wierd silence Judai's turn - a couple of shouts of apreciation
Yugi's turn - boisterous, agitated shouts WHOOOOOO GOOOOOO YUGI! x)
But I can't call Yugi's reaction to Yusei's Synchro Summon hilarious mostly because I can't clerly see his face at that moment. Anyway...the video was 6 minutes or so, but we saw the full scenes of the protagonists' turns and the theft of Stardust Dragon...which is much. x) This short recording made my day really, really delightful. xD x)

[Allana]

Thanks for the recording! This is really amazing! This is nice to hear dialogues! Can't wait to see all the movie!

[Lia]

BTW, will it be a bad idea if we submit this video in BBS NewWise's website? Despite the video being with english subtitles, I guess XWZ and the other members will be pleased with it. x) I remember someone from the forum having a registration there. But that's just a suggestion. x)

[cheesedude]

Despite them not having started to dub it yet, this was more or less meant as a preview for the dubbed movie. So using the original terms wouldn't have made that much sense when the audience gathered was probably not that familiar with the original version, with a few exceptions, obviously.

Now, if they use those terms in the actual subbed movie, then I can see reason to be pissed about it.

[Arynis]

Depending on how you look at it, the damage has already been done with the public video.

From the looks of it, they aren't aware of the video yet. I do have an account there with posting access, but I do not know Chinese. Heleen is the other one with an account and a posting access (and she knows Chinese), but she's not online at the moment. If no one else has problems here with us posting the unlisted video link (or shall we go with the public one?) to their forums, we'll go ahead and do it.

Of course, this applies only if no one has problems with this move, and only if they haven't found out the video links themselves.

I'd probably go with the unlisted video, since that has less chances of being taken down than the public one. But I don't see why not, since they've been helpful about the movie details and stuff, and it wouldn't be fair to keep them out of the loop with this preview, lol.

@Kyte: I forget if anyone asked this already, but did you find out if the movie would have extra footage when it hits theaters here?

[Arynis]

Of course! I just wanted to know if it was fine with anyone with here first.

As soon as I see Heleen, we'll get the link posted over to Nintendo World BBS!

[63cohen]

If all else fails, post the megaupload I posted in the download forum.

@cheesedude

You don't say. I was wondering if it was meant for the dub or not, since having it done in March (actually January with the way ratings work) would be a challenge with the show alongside. This isn't the Japanese VAs, English VAs get breaks.

[cheesedude]

Granted, I'm assuming its for the dub, especially since the narrator yelled "Jaden Yuki" not "Judai Yuki". So that would indicate this was preview meant for the dub, and that the subtitles and Japanese voices were only present due to the fact that they've not even begun to dub it yet.

[Starry]

I'm not bothered by the dub terminology. Because *gasp* there are people who watch only the dub. Besides anybody who watches the original will know what they are saying anyway.

Btw, does anybody know if YGO5DSTeam has an account here? I'd like to have a word with them since they're deleting me and kariforuniagaaru/Sethy's comments asking for them to credit kariforuniagaaru for uploading the original video. Classy.

I am pretty sure he does. Don't remember the username though.

[yami14]

Already have provided when you download the movie comes out??

[Arynis]

What are you even trying to say? o.O

No, Cohen provided a download link for the preview of the movie from the World Championships in case that one gets taken down from Youtube.

As for the movie itself, it's out in 2011 March-April.

[Lia]

Of course! I just wanted to know if it was fine with anyone with here first.

This was just a suggestion. You guys decide.
I know this is a preview for the dubbed movie, but it still contains unseen movie scenes, so the members of Nintendo World BBS will still enjoy it.

[Arynis]

Well, I caught Heleen online last night and she agreed to help get the video to their forums. We will post it later today.

Anyway, I have been thinking about why the Pegasus tag line was missing from the preview. I could see it being a spoiler, for one. (Granted, the preview showed us things like Sin Paradox Dragon going down.) After all, Pegasus' and Sugoroku's deaths are supposed to be a twist here. (Or not so twist, given the Japanese trailer.)

Or, they realized the line doesn't fit at all -- after all, the plot point was never elaborated on in the movie itself. It would only cause confusion.

[ESPerWingal]

No idea how he got my password but that account is no longer mine (All the hard work with those HD videos is all gone down the tube now.....) I might be making a new account soon but i'm not sure if I feel like it

I made a thread saying about what happened

Sorry for all these things happening, me and my brother really do hate each other a lot

[Kyte]

Ah forgot , I DID ask about the footage!

After I heard from one of the officials I overheard saying that the movie will be for next April after one of the showings, I asked him directly if there'll be added footage. He said that the footage he knows of that'll be added will be the deleted scenes cut out from the Japanese movie, pretty much like with Pyramid of Light but the other way around. The deleted scenes probably will amount to atleast 10 minutes if its true, atleast to mark an hour. I'm sure the scenes will have little things, not too much of a big deal probably like the scenes cut out of the non-Japanese POL film.

[Arynis]

Awesome, so there is added footage, after all!

I suppose those parts were cut due to the whole "we don't want to strain the eyes of the kids" business. Though, some of the cut footage in POL helped the movie make some more sense in some parts. I suppose it will be the same this time around.

EDIT: Also, XYZ Dragon Cannon already took notice of the videos, so I suppose we won't need to post it anymore.

4KID'S additing the deleted scenes from the movie to make it longer is much better idea than maiking additional footage by themselves, so OK, I agree. x)

Well, nevermind.

[Arynis]

Though, they don't seem to know of the footage addition, yet. However, I'll have to get hold of Heleen first. ^^;

At this rate, we might finally see the long awaited appearances of Kaiba and Jonouchi, as well as Sho/Ryou and Johan, even if for a moment.

[Heather]

Just managed to watch that preview clip and I'm blown away! I cannot put into words how much I am looking forward to seeing the movie. I'm so excited I could burst!! I'm not even bothered about how it will be dubbed I just want to experience the movie in 3D as the animation looked gorgeous!

Really pleased Judai got cheers too.... yay!!

[Lia]

At this rate, we might finally see the long awaited appearances of Kaiba and Jonouchi, as well as Sho/Ryou and Johan, even if for a moment.

Who knows. I will be happy to see those missing short scenes when Paradox is supposed to steal the dragons from these guys. x)

[DarkDust_Dragon]

That was Sean Schemmel doing the voice, I think.

Okay then. I think he's overused, but he does do good voices, so I'm happy.

Now, that was awesome. Nothing beats Judai's turn to the tune of his signature theme, same with Yusei and "Yusei Battle," and it wouldn't be complete without Atem and "Passionate Duelists" (the first time it played earlier was the GX version, but I'm iffy on the one played during his turn). I loved his reaction to Yusei's Synchro-Summon, though, and I love that he and Judai got more cheers than Yusei. XD

Yusei and Judai got more cheers than Yusei? I think you mean Yugi. Hey, hasn't this happened before here?

Seeing Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl shoot Black Twin Burst through Sin Paradox Dragon like a kamehameha through its face and torso is just...epic beyond words.

I never imagined it would look like that. Neos Knight cutting through Sin Cyber End was nice too.

That attacks sounds great; but we saw the animation for attacking Sin CED in the openings already. I tho0ught the animation was kinda dodgy (gigantic cracks forming from nowhere), but that might be how they edited that together. I can't see these videos because of my dial-up, so...

Well, I actually downloaded the file and converted it to wmv for when it gets removed. When it does, I will try and post it in the download forum.

EDIT: File bloated when converted, so when I get it up on the download forum, it will be 100MB, sorry.

Damnit. I'ma have to wait a long tome before I can get at that.

Sometimes, those original terms might be English, but make literally no sense coherently. Riding Duel is one of those instances. Same for D-Wheel (YMMV on this one on making sense). Many of the card names follow this, which is why Konami changes Psychicker to Axon Kicker, and similar changes such as Savior to Majestic (not due to Religion)

I don't know about "Riding Duel", but "Psychicker" was a bad Engrish portmanteau (though they hurt themselves with Ultimate Axon Kicker... who not only isn't soccer-themed, but has no legs). And Saviour is romanized "Seiva" here, so it would translate as "Savour". Which, yes, does need fixing.

I think it's more 'Saver' than 'Savour'. As in Digimon Savers.

Awesome, so there is added footage, after all!

At this point I'm not going to get too excited until we literally have the extra footage before us. I mean I know in Japan they supposedly wanted to make the movie shorter to reduce eye strain, but it'd take quite a lot of deleted scenes to make this closer to regular film length.And I can't exactly see the Japanese just cutting out all this delicious footage of Jonouchi and Kaiba and Johan.

[DarkDust_Dragon]

I think it's more 'Saver' than 'Savour'. As in Digimon Savers.

That's true; but considering they're romanized the same way, and we have English card names like "Gyakutenno Megami" or "Hitotsu-Me Giant", it's best just to chaneg it and avoid all that.

[PharaohAtem]

I found this while searching for a pic of the Seirei no Kagami card that Yuugi uses in the duel against Jonouchi:

So, this preview of the film... does it mean that Paradox is going to be voiced by Sean Schemmel? I just wanna be sure on that point.

Actually, I did mean Yugi and Judai (I wrote it as "I loved his reaction to Yusei's Synchro-Summon, though, and I love that he and Judai got more cheers than Yusei" after already mentioning Atem earlier in the paragraph, lol.).

And yeah, that site's just a blogger's review of GX 180.

Lol, wlel people DID cheer for Yusei but the video was cut before the Synchro Summon but in the 2nd showing the person recorded, which I was in the same showing since its totally the same cheering and things been said, people did cheer for Yusei. I'd say Yuugi was cheered for the most, Yusei in 2nd, and Judai in 3rd.

Btw, sad thing at the WC, in the Grand Ballroom where the actual event is going on along with the public tournaments, lifesize stands of Yuugi and Yusei stood on both opposites sides of the stage while Judai was all the way on the right, by himself...

Yeah, the video do seem to have been cut off for a short time. At the beginning the subtitles were more clear and legible. It seemed that the record was made by someone sitting on the right side of the hall. Then suddenly the subs became more blurry and it seemed like the record was cut off shortly and continued by someone sitting on the left side of the hall.

Which card did? Seirei no Kagami? So what was the asspull effect?

The part when you can actuvate the Negated Spel''s effect at any time you want, instead of right away like in DM or in the OCG/TCG. Had they played it that way, it would have done Yugi no good and he's have lost (and we can't have that, even though HE'S NOT THE STAR ANYMORE).

Are you still harping on that? Mystical Refpanel's effect has changed three times throughout the entire franchise. If you're still getting shocked/surprised/upset over cards not going by their original effect because it suits the plot then you probably should stop watching duels in YGO.

I'm not harping so much as I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is. I've seen the random stupid effect changes many times (Makiu and Kuriboh being the most jarring, Necroshade's being the most obvious ass-pull). At least the movie here uses the proper effects... we think. Except for the Sins, of course.

You might as well point out how Cross-Sacrifice basically can steal and tribute anything, how Flute of Summoning Dragon somehow lets both players special summon dragons out of their hands for no reason, and the plethora of other effects that get changed to suit the situation.

This is YGO. The plot dictates how the cards are played. Complaining or whining about a card that's already been shown to basically redirect anything Yugi needs at the time (targeting monster effects, equip spell card effects, and even effect damage) is redundant and unnecessary. Mystical Refpanel in the anime redirects anything. Its original manga effect and OCG effect mean nothing in the anime.

The Sin monsters in the movie don't have their balanced draw back of only being able to be summoned while a field spell card is on the field, or where only one can exist on the field, and other monsters can't attack. So are you going to complain about Paradox having an asspull deck? C'mon.

Bah, Yuugi will always be the star...

Are you still harping on that? Mystical Refpanel's effect has changed three times throughout the entire franchise. If you're still getting shocked/surprised/upset over cards not going by their original effect because it suits the plot then you probably should stop watching duels in YGO.

Even though I saw it when searching for the image, I still hate that card's dub name.
