In the Name of The Pharaoh – Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Episodes – Raw and Subbed

Another fansub by Ouji- & Co has been released! Yay! Today, it’s YGO DM episode 43, which is the start of a new story arc. Head over to my subbed DM page and check out the latest episode: “Big 5’s Trap! Duel Monsters Quest!”

The unique, modified openings first seen in episodes 41 and 42 continue in this episode, and once again, Ouji- has worked diligently to recreate a clean version with translated English credits. In this episode, the opening shows Kaiba getting into a pod for the virtual adventure game. Read more about the special openings in my previous post for episode 41.

It’s been quite a while since the last fansub from Ouji- & Co! Episode 42 of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, titled “The Deadly Shadow Ghoul,” has been released and is available on my subbed DM page. This episode wraps up Rebecca’s duel against Yuugi.

Just like in episode 41, the opening of this episode is different from the usual opening seen in episodes 1-40 — it includes some scenes taken directly from the main portion of the episode. This time, we see Arthur and Sugoroku in Egypt and Rebecca summoning her Shadow Ghoul.

And just like he did for the episode 41 fansub, Ouji- has seamlessly recreated that modified opening so that we may have a clean (no Japanese text) version with English-translated credits. Now that’s dedication!

It’s time for another Yu-Gi-Oh! DM fansub! Episode 41, “The Young Girl from America,” by Ouji- & Co has been completed and is now available for direct download! You can find the link on my page for subbed DM episodes. The HK DVD version of this episode has been removed.

Ouji- did something very special for this episode. If you’ve been watching Ouji-’s Duelist Kingdom episodes, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that he uses a clean (textless) version of the intro and inserts English translations of the opening credits where the Japanese credits would otherwise be.

And, if you’ve watched the raw or HK DVD versions of episodes 41-49, you may have noticed that the intro in each of these episodes is actually slightly modified when compared with all of the prior episodes: about three-quarters of the way into the intros, instead of seeing a shot of Pegasus (as in the above images), you see some clips taken right out of the body of the episodes. In episode 41, for example, you see a shot of Rebecca and her Millennium Shield.

Ouji- wanted to continue using the clean intro with English-translated credits for this episode, but as it turns out, clean versions of the modified intros for episodes 41-49 don’t exist. So what did he do? He made his own! He took the exact frames of the clips that were used in the modified intro right out of the episodes themselves and inserted them into the original clean version of the intro. The result is perfect and completely seamless! You won’t find this anywhere else, so enjoy!
