Duel Monsters. Endorsed by Satan. Mastered by Yami’s satanic powers.
He’s not done yet! This morning, Little Kuriboh revealed the second of the videos he showed at Kami-Con this past weekend: his super secret Yu-Gi-Oh! Season Zero Abridged #2 (on YouTube, Blip.tv)! It wasn’t that much of a secret though, if LK’s tweets and Tumblr posts are ever to be believed! …Wait a minute, this is YGOTAS? It seems more like The Twilight Zone.
This episode is also available for download in AVI, M4V and MP4 formats.
Alas, episode 8 of LK’s Naruto Spoof Series didn’t make it to Kami-Con. Oh well, maybe another time!
Little Kuriboh’s Other Projects
Late last month, Little Kuriboh talked about writing his very own thiefshipping doujinshi, then fired the script off to taemanaku and angellust155. LK says that he tried to keep the story “as canon as possible,” but that doesn’t mean you should write it off if you’re only an Abridged fan. If it’s as stylistic and as well told as his other Marik and Bakura fanfics, there will be a lot to look forward to!
LK is also considering crowdsourcing the dialogue for his next installment of Marik playing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Keep your eyes on Twitter to see when he’ll hold a live stream for that.
And finally, LK says that his next YGOTAS video will be Marik’s Evil Council 5, which he hopes to have completed for Anime Milwaukee, being held this year between February 17 and 19. After that, it’s back to YGOTAS episodes again with number 55!
[YGO: TAS] Season Zero Abridged #1 – Pilot
November 4, 2010 at 7:18 am | Posted in Series 1, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series | Leave a commentTags: blip.tv, littlekuriboh, youtube
Little Kuriboh continues to upload his Youmacon videos for all his fans to see! Yesterday evening, he brought out something new: Yu-Gi-Oh! Season Zero Abridged! The first episode, “Pilot” (on YouTube, Blip.tv), is ready for your enjoyment!
This parody, based on the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series produced in 1998 by Toei Animation, is quite different from our familiar ol’ YGOTAS. These characters live a High School Musical-esque world filled with Elite “Beat” Agents! And, as Yugi quickly learns, Duel Monsters hasn’t been introduced yet. Uh oh, how are people supposed to solve their problems effectively without any cards?!
Check it out! Episode 1 is available for streaming and downloading. A new heading labeled “Season Zero” was made on both of those pages between the regular YGOTAS episodes and the bonus videos.
And if you haven’t already done so, be sure to follow Little Kuriboh’s Ninjabridge YouTube account. LK notes that this episode was uploaded there so that “we don’t have to lose the CardGamesFTW account if poop hits the fan.”
Update (December 31, 2010): This episode was pulled from YouTube by Nihon Ad Systems, Inc. earlier today. It remains available on Blip.tv.
Meet Hiroto Honda at Yaoi-Con 2010

…Sort of. Actually, Ryoutarou Okiayu, the voice actor for Hiroto Honda in the 1998 Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, will be a guest of honor at this weekend’s Yaoi-Con! Okiayu, a prolific voice actor, has lent his skills to well over 200 animated productions and just as many videos games! His most recognized anime roles include Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach), Dark Mousy (D.N.Angel), Shigure Souma (Fruits Basket), Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist), Yuu Matsuura (Marmalade Boy), and Hisashi Mitsui (Slam Dunk). Okiayu’s lead roles in yaoi titles include K (Gravitation), Samejima Ranmaru (Kizuna), Joshua Grant (Marginal Prince), and Hiroto Honda (Yu-Gi-Oh!).
This is Okiayu’s first appearance at a North American convention. How many Japanese voice actors who played major or semi-major characters in the two original Yu-Gi-Oh! series have attended conventions on this side of the planet? With Okiayu’s upcoming appearance, the grand total will increase to… eight! Cheers to any Yu-Gi-Oh! fans who will be meeting Okiayu! You’ll be a part of Yu-Gi-Oh! history! Though if you’re planning to ask him questions about his voicing Honda, you may have to remind him who that is, heh.
Yaoi-Con 2010, the convention’s tenth anniversary, will take place on October 29 through 31 in Burlingame, California.
Yu-Gi-Oh! VA Megumi Ogata at Fan Expo Canada 2010
August 27, 2010 at 5:34 am | Posted in Other Stuff, Series 1, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a commentTags: anime convention, fan expo canada
This weekend, Megumi Ogata, the voice actress for Yuugi Mutou in Yu-Gi-Oh! (the first series, released in 1998), will be appearing as a featured guest at Fan Expo Canada (CNAnime) in Toronto! Though her focus has shifted from voice acting to music in recent times, fans can still ask her all about the different characters that she has voiced at a Q&A session she will hold on Saturday! Later that evening, Ogata will follow up with a live concert!
Surprisingly, not many Japanese voice actors who played major or quasi-major roles in the two original Yu-Gi-Oh! series have made it to this side of the planet. As far as I know, there have only been six others:
- Rica Matsumoto (Bakura in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, episodes 50+), most recently at Nan Desu Kan 2009
- Toshiyuki Morikawa (Jounouchi in Yu-Gi-Oh!) at Anime Expo 2009
- Nozomu Sasaki (Shadhi in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters) at Sakura-Con 2009
- Yukana Nogami (Miho in Yu-Gi-Oh!) at Pacific Media Expo 2007
- Sumi Shimamoto (Ishizu in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters), most recently at Sakura-Con 2007
- Hikaru Midorikawa (Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh!), most recently at Anime North 2003
So, to all the Yu-Gi-Oh! fans who are lucky enough to see Ogata this weekend, cherish the moment! You’re taking part in a rare event!
Fan Expo Canada 2010 will be held in Toronto, Ontario from August 27 to 29.
Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie (Series 1) Subbed
December 10, 2009 at 11:53 am | Posted in Fansub, Japanese, Series 1, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 2 CommentsTags: megavideo, movie, streams page, tv-nihon
It’s day four of Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online Week! After adding an index for streaming Yu-Gi-Oh! Series 1 episodes yesterday, I’m following up by giving the series’ accompanying movie its own page! Check out this 30-minute Yu-Gi-Oh! classic, now streaming on Megavideo! The movie is fansubbed by TV-Nihon and is also available for download.
Like the 27-episode series that preceded it, this short theatrical film is also titled “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and was released in Japanese theaters in 1999. Fans often call this film “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie” so as not to confuse the two. The movie serves well as a bridge between the first and second Yu-Gi-Oh! series by providing a greater focus on the mechanics of the Duel Monsters card game than the first series did.
Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online: Subbed Series 1/Season 0 Episodes
December 9, 2009 at 11:44 am | Posted in Fansub, Japanese, Series 1, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 3 CommentsTags: megavideo, streams page, tv-nihon
Today is day three of Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Online Week and streaming episodes of the critically acclaimed first series of Yu-Gi-Oh! have made their way to their own new page! The episodes are hosted on Megavideo, which allows for the uploading and playback of a full half-hour episode without the need to split up the video or download additional software. The episodes are fansubbed by TV-Nihon and are the same ones already available for direct download.
Simply titled “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and containing just 27 episodes, this first Yu-Gi-Oh! series was released in 1998 and is an adaption of the stories told in the first seven volumes of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. Fans have also called it “Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0,” “Yu-Gi-Oh! Toei Version,” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Shadow Games” to distinguish it from the lengthy Duel Monsters series released in 2000.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Subbed – Torrents
May 24, 2009 at 3:09 pm | Posted in Duel Monsters, Fansub, Japanese, Series 1, Yu-Gi-Oh! | 7 CommentsTags: #yugioh!, bittorrent, movie, tv-nihon
I thought it would be useful to have a single post that contained links to all of the torrents for the various English-subbed Yu-Gi-Oh! series and episodes. These links certainly aren’t new, but they’ve previously been scattered in various other posts and pages, making them difficult to find. Hopefully, that won’t be the case anymore. If any new torrents for subbed episodes appear in the future, they’ll be added to this post.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Subbed – Torrents
- Torrent – #yugioh! – 001-014
Yu-Gi-Oh! Subbed – Torrents
(a.k.a. Series 1, Season 0, The Shadow Games, Toei Version, etc.)
You can find a lot more subbed episodes available for direct download on my subbed Duel Monsters page, but unfortunately, I’m not able to create a torrent for all of them and seed them for extended periods of time. So if a torrent isn’t already here, you’ll have to rely on the direct download links. Sorry if that’s an inconvenience.
Update (November 6, 2010): Links to unofficial downloads/streams have been removed.
FAQs Updated
October 31, 2008 at 2:07 am | Posted in Japanese, Raws, Series 1, Site Updates, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a commentTags: faqs
I was reading the FAQs the other day when I realized how horribly outdated they were. I had written, for example, that I wasn’t interested in adding any Yu-Gi-Oh! media other than Duel Monsters to this site. Since then however, I’ve added the first series and its accompanying movie, along with Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, while also expanding the Duel Monsters collection to include raws. Clearly, an update to the FAQs was in order, so I spent some time cleaning it up and adding a few new items. Glad I got that over with! I don’t want to confuse any new visitors!
Clean-up duty.
I also want to address something about Yu-Gi-Oh! Series 1/Season 0 that I had talked about in an older post, but that everyone probably forgot about. (Not me! >_>) I had previously said that a few raws for Series 1 can be found on Janime, but that “the quality isn’t too good, and they might be difficult to work with for anyone who’s interested in fansubbing this series themselves.” At the time, I hadn’t decided whether I wanted to set aside a new page here for those raws and I noted that I would come back to this. Well, I’m coming back to it now. :P
The quality of those raws are bleh. The worst part about it is that the resolution is tiny (352×262 — that’s smaller than what you find on YouTube!). Since they also use old audio/video codecs, these raws must be ancient by digital fansubbing standards. Given all this, and the fact that there isn’t even a complete set of the raw episodes — only half of the episodes have raws — I’ve decided not to put them up. Sorry if you’ve actually been writhing in anticipation during the past two months for these. TV-Nihon’s releases are vastly superior.
Okay, that’s all. What a boring update, huh? I hope I’ll have more stuff for you next time. Have a fun and happy Halloween!
Update (November 1): #yugioh! fansubs’ redirection URL isn’t working anymore, so I’ve edited their links in the blogroll and some other places to point directly to their website. Thanks to Sam for pointing this out.

TV-Nihon’s version 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh! (Series 1) episode 21 is up! As usual, you can grab it from my Series 1 page or via BitTorrent from TV-Nihon’s official tracker. All thanks go to Janime’s latiasfan2004 for the upload!
Let’s watch this episode next!
Quick Update: YGO (Series 1) episode 20, version 2
September 5, 2008 at 3:00 am | Posted in Fansub, Japanese, Series 1, Yu-Gi-Oh! | Leave a commentTags: bittorrent, tv-nihon
TV-Nihon has released a version 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh! (Series 1) episode 20. This new version has a much-improved video quality and fixes some mistakes that were in the subs. Yay!
You can download this episode from the Series 1 page. Credit for the new link goes to Janime’s wonderful ShadowNeko003! As with TV-Nihon’s other releases, if you prefer downloading this using a torrent, TV-Nihon’s official tracker has you covered. Please note that even though this new version doesn’t have “v2″ in the filename, it really is a second version.
Look out, it’s version 2!
