Differences in adaptations

 * In the Japanese version, if the saw reaches the number the zero, it will slice the players legs off. In the English dub, they are called dark energy disks and when they reach the number zero, the player's mind will get sent to the Shadow Realm.


 * The saws are made glowy in the dub to make them look like Dark Energy Discs.


 * A scene of Zeus sealing the box and Pandora opening it, and tiny little hope left in the bottom of the box, is cut from the US version.


 * Numerous changes were made to shots of the hands of both Duelists, including the addition of Egyptian Gods it would be impossible for them to have. Pictures and details can be found here.


 * The harlequin that points out where Yugi has to go is silent in the original. In the English version it speaks to Yugi as it points out what Yugi needs to do.

Errors

 * In the dubbed version, many cards in each Duelists' hands are changed to cards that are impossible for them to have.


 * When Yugi plays "Card Destruction", it is seen on his Duel Disk in defense mode instead of "Alpha the Magnet Warrior".
