Thread: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Master Card Listing

As the title suggests, this will be the thread where the YGO DM card guide will be located. Here, you will find real and card exclusive to the anime. The first name of every card will be its translated name (translated by me, of course,) followed by its romaji, and finally its TCG name. Some people may not like this, but the format in which I present the guide is much more formal than any other format I've previously used. (You'll hardly tell the difference, really.) Oh, the flavor text is also of my translation.

I haven't completed it all. All of episode 1's cards are completed, but that's about it. (The upcoming episode guides have taken up this work time.) However, check this thread regularly, because there will be updates from time to time. You might even find the kanji here if I ever get the will to do it. (I rather finish it all and then do it. It's much less tedious.) Expect the finished version to be listed differently. (This is just a way in which I can list everything easily.)

Also, here is a little "conversion" table, for those unfamiliar with my translations:

* Attack Mode/Defense Mode = Attack Position/Defense Position
* Battle Mode = Battle Position
* Fire-Type = Pyro-Type
* Water-Type = Aqua-Type
* Magic-User-Type = Spellcaster-Type
* Sea Dragon-Type = Sea Serpent-Type
* Demon-Type = Fiend-Type
* Angel-Type = Fairy-Type
* Sacrifice = Tribute
* Cemetery = Graveyard

So, without further ado, friends, noblemen, people of the land. I present the new Master

Episode 1: The Terrifying Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Senritsu no Buruu Aizu Howaito Doragon)

Monsters:

Translation: Darkness Dragon
Romaji: Ankoku no Ryuu-ou (Doragon)
TCG: Blackland Fire Dragon
Card Type: Normal Monster
Attribute: Dark
Type: Dragon
Level: 4
ATK/DEF: 1500/800
Text/Effect: A dragon that dwells in the depths of darkness. Its eyes aren't very good.
Note: The furigana above its name reads "Dragon" but the kanji below it reads "Dragon King." The furigana reading is the "true" reading, though.
Attack Name: Manga--Honoo no Buresu (Fire Breath)

Translation: Shien's Double
Romaji: Shien no Kagemusha
TCG: Kagemusha of the Blue Flame
Card Type: Normal Monster
Attribute: Earth
Type: Warrior
Level: 2
ATK/DEF: 800/400
Text/Effect: Serves as a double to Shien. Possesses a fine sword with a sharp edge.
Note: Konami, when translation and adapting card names and text, mistranslated this card's name. "Blue Flame" comes from the kanji "Shien" which literally means..."Blue Flame." Of course, when they did this, and read the card's flavor text, they neglected (or ignored?) that "Shien" was written in katakana. So, what do they do? They write it as "Ruler of the Blue Flame" to avoid this. Of course, this is incorrect, because "Shien no Shihaisha", or something of the sort would be "Ruler of the Blue Flame." But, I digress, "Jo-ou no Kagemusha" (Queen's Double) isn't "Kagemusha of the Female King"...so I'll end it on that.

Translation: Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Romaji: Aogan no Hakuryuu (Buruu Aizu Howaito Doragon)
TCG: Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Card Type: Normal Monster
Attribute: Light
Type: Dragon
Level: 8
ATK/DEF: 3000/2500
Text/Effect: A legendary dragon which boasts a high attack power. It smashes any opponent and its destructive powers are unfathomable.
Note: This card is a favorite of the manga-ka (artist) Takahashi-sensei.
Attack Name: Horobi no Baasuto Sutoreemu (Burst Stream of Destruction)

Translation: Cyclops
Romaji: Saikuropusu
TCG: Hitotsu-Me Giant
Card Type: Normal Monster
Attribute: Earth
Type: Beast-Warrior
Level: 4
ATK/DEF: 1200/1000
Text/Effect: A one-eyed giant. It strikes with its gigantic arms. Use caution with it.
Note: For whatever reason, Konami named this card "Hitotsu-Me Giant" in the TCG. (Probably from the flavor text which reads "hitotsume no kyojin"/"one-eyed giant.") Konami has done and is still doing this for other cards, but it has gotten progressively more understandable.

Translation: Fortress-Guarding Winged Dragon
Romaji: Toride o Mamoru Yoku Ryuu
TCG: Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1
Card Type: Normal Monster
Attribute: Wind
Type: Dragon
Level: 4
ATK/DEF: 1400/1200

Level: 3
ATK/DEF: 600/1500
Text/Effect: A clown that appears out of nowhere. Uses strange moves to avoid attacks.
Note: In Episode 1, Kaiba's voice actor (Kenjiro Tsuda) pronounced this card's name as "Yami Doukeshi Saagi" without the "no."
Attack Name: Daaku Guraido (Dark Glide)

Translation: Critter
Romaji: Kurittaa
TCG: Sangan
Card Type: Effect Monster
Attribute: Dark
Type: Demon
Level: 3
ATK/DEF: 1000/600
Type/Effect: When this card is sent from the field to the Cemetery, select 1 monster from your deck with an attack power of 1500 or less and add it to your hand after both players look at it. Then, shuffle your deck.
Note: In Episode 1, this creature does not use (or is not shown using) its OCG effect. This is because, in the manga, when this card was used, it had no effect to use. And since this card's release was at least a few more months away by the time of the episode's Japanese airing, they probably didn't think too much about it.

Translation: Saiga
Romaji: Saigaa
TCG: Torike
Card Type: Normal Monster
Attribute: Earth

Translation: (Mystery Red Monster)

Magic:

Translation: Dark Generator
Romaji: Yami Jenereetaa
TCG: Negative Energy Generator
Card Type: Normal Magic
Effect: Triple the attack power of a Dark-Attribute monster.
Note: This card was a replacement for the card "Dark Energy"...which is odd, considering the card Pegasus used was called "Dark Energy" and looked completely different than the version shown in the manga and used in the real-life card game. And this version of Dark Energy was used in both the anime and the manga...more weirdness. In addition, this card is listed as a Normal Magic just because of the way the card looked (no symbol, which was common with a lot of first generation cards,) but I'm "pretty" sure it's an Equipment Magic...oh well.

Translation: Swords of Containing Light
Romaji: Hikari no Gofuuken
TCG: Swords of Revealing Light
Card Type: Normal Magic
Effect: Turn all monsters on your opponent's side of the field face-up. After this card's activation, this card remains on the field for 3 turns (counting by your opponent's turns.) As long as this card is on the field, the monsters on your opponent's side of the field cannot declare an attack.
Note: In the anime, or at least for Episode 1, this card's effect was set to where it only applied for monsters on the field and on the field at the time of this card's activation. However, if one was to summon a new monster to the playing field, they would be unaffected by this card's effect.

Episode 2: The Trap of Illusionist No-Face (Iruujonisuto Noo Feisu no Wana)
