How could they be happy? Some of the oddest name changes come from Yuugiou, as well as some of the worst tragedies. It'd be more like the Yuugiou cast telling stories of lost dignity.
Unless of course , you meant happy as in forced, like in that episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone had to think happy thoughts for the kid with powers.

I'm talking about YGO in relation to VIZ, not 4Kids. How could they be happy? Some of the oddest name changes come from Yuugiou, as well as some of the worst tragedies.

Journey To America: As Told by HoroHoro
(part five) by animeninjaNIPPON We had been filming for almost two weeks now. Ryu, Ren, and Manta were now going by their American names full-time. If it weren't for Yoh's overwhelming friendliness that sometimes enabled us to get away with stuff other actors couldn't, I don't know what I would have done.
I think it was the day that Faust VIII arrived that I finally decided to have my revenge- subliminally, of course, as not to get into trouble. Faust, as you well know, uses his late wife's skeleton as his oversoul. His wife and spirit ally, Eliza, has a bullet-hole in her skull. This angered the execs (why, I'll never know).
"You can't use that skull on TV, Mr Faust," the exec said. "You'll have to get another one."
Now Faust was never one to keep hes temper, and this time was no exception. "Get another one? GET ANOTHER ONE? !!"
"Here." The exec took Eliza's skull out of Faust's hands and in place gave him a cheap, unmarked Halloween skull. "You can borrow this for filming."
Faust took the fake skull and threw it as hard as he could against the exec's head. There was a loud crack, and then a thud as he fell to the floor, but surprizingly, no blood.
"You don't understand how important this is to me!!" he fumed as he gingerly picked up Eliza's skull and tucked it safely away under his coat. "I swear, when I become the Shaman King, I will rip off your skin, dissect your mangled body, and..." Then he continued his rant in his native German. (I could make out the words dummkopf and doppelganger from his speech.)
Strangely, Faust didn't get arrested. However, I was very angry at how insensitive 4Kids Entertainment had been in the 1 1/2 months I had been here. And I decided to do someting that would piss them off without taking away from my group.
"Lights, camera, ACTION!" It was time to film the episode where I fight Yoh in the Shaman Tournament. They made us have this little argument, and I was supposed to tell Yoh to be a mascot, like a kangaroo. So I said my line, but with a twist:
"Like a kangaroo, or a... JACKASS!"
I knew the word "jackass" was considered taboo, and I also knew that the execs figured that I was purposely screwing up my lines in order to get out of saying them. Therefore, 4Kids would do the opposite and keep my line in the show. The naughty word would reach audiences everywhere, and everyone would blame 4Kids Entertainment. I don't know whether or not it worked, but it made me feel better.end of part five
and with that, "Journey To America" goes on hiatus. thank you, everyone, for the suggestions. happy holidays, and see you next year!  |

Its okay! Your story is great! Its somewhat funny too. I think it is cool how you connect the original to the dub, you know, how their name changes. Brilliant! ^.^ anyways, can't wait to read your next part!

Very good and creative way to channel one's dislike of the dub. I hope you'll post the next chapter soon.
By the by, I love the way you potrayed Faust!

Journey to America: As Told by HoroHoro
(part six) by animeninjaNIPPON yay! after all these weeks, it's finally here- part six of HoroHoro's untold tale! enjoy... Seasons changed. Days went by. All the while I endured my stay in that hellish domain, somehow, but I longed for my home in Hokkaido. Every night I could hear Tamao crying softly in her sleep and Faust making plans to do away with the evil execs who dared to touch his "Dear Eliza." My only consolance was hearing from my pen pal, Naruto. He worked for a company called Viz, which gave his group more freedom than 4Kids gave mine. Secretly, I wished I could trade places with him, but then again no one deserves to be a slave to 4Kids.
Pirika came in with the mail. There was a bill for Manta, some bills for Ryu, a letter of acceptance from the Jelly-of-the-Month club for Faust, and a Reader's Digest for Ren. I turned away sadly. No letters for me.
"HoroHoro," Pirika called. I turned back around. She held out an envelope with my name on it.
"Yay! A letter from Naruto!" I opened it up. Sure enough, he had written to me:Dear HoroHoro, Hi! How are you? I am well. Two days ago 4Kids tried to buy out Sakura with candy and flowers, but she refused, saying that she would only accept gifts from Sasuke. I'll never know what she sees in that dolt... Anyway, everyone here at Viz seems to be doing well. (Except for Zoro, that is- he recieved a name change and went berzerk down at 4Kids a few months ago. He's been incarcerated there ever since.) I also have some very good news for you- Viz is considering hiring you and your friends part-time! I hope they do. It would be cool to meet you in person. Your friend, Naruto "I can't believe it!" I cried. "Viz might hire us part-time!"
"You mean we can leave this place?" Ryu exclaimed.
"Don't get your hopes up," Anna interrupted. "It's not a sure thing."
Just then, two suits stormed into our living space.
"Pack your bags, people," one of them said. "You're going to work for Viz."end of part six
don't worry! the Ponchi balls stuff is coming soon! |
