Differences in adaptations
- Asura Priest's briefs are made into boxer briefs in the dub.
- A shot of Celtic Guardian being hit by Asura Priest's knives in cut from the English version.
- The knife blade that is shown coming through "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian"'s back is removed from the English version. When it shows the front view, the knife is obscured before "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian" is destroyed.
- When Cyber Jar's second effect activates (Draw 5 cards and Special Summon any level 4 or below monsters in face up Attack Position or face down Defense Position), in the Japanese version Noah says that Spirit Monsters can not be Special Summoned, whilst in the dub he just says that he has not drawn any monsters to summon.
- When Kuriboh attacks Noah directly, cut is a sequence of Kuriboh biting Noah's arm and then Noah flinging Kuriboh back to Yugi's side on the field, and after Kuriboh's attack, in the Japanese, Noah says 'Did anything touch me?', whilst in the dub he says 'He barely made a dent'.
