QuoteTo a certain extent, the Shadow Realm. In the Japanese sub, you normally died if you lost a Shadow Game. The Pharoah's court, Marik's dad...they were simply killed. The 4Kids dub decided to create a replacement-a nightmare universe where the imprisoned are tormented, supposedly for all eternity. And, going by Yu-Gi-Oh GX, this reality didn't vanish after Zorc was beaten. So essentially, 4Kids has replaced death with hell. Cecilia, The Big 5, Gozuboro Kaiba and Marik's mother are the only characters who's deaths aren't censored, and thus aren't sent to hell.
Oh, TV Tropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fridge/Yu-Gi-Oh). How I love thee and thy Fridge Horror.
TV Tropes was my only entertainment during school.
Then the blocked it :c
The MMZ TVT is lulzworthy.

Apparently to 4Kids sending people to Hell is more humane then killing them.

HOW?
Sending people to hell is scary and just plain creepy.
Killing someone just gives the viewers poker faces and say "fdsfaj fuck you [insert villian name here]"
So was it death and then hell, or a magical portal to hell?
Either way the shadow realm is probably nicer than hell.

There's a part in the show where the loser would have his legs chopped off by rotating blades. 4Kids made them spinning discs of light that sent your soul to the Shadow Realm.

Ohhhkay then... I had no idea YGO was so dark... :U
I should probably start watching it.
I had only seen parts of the 4kids dub and that made it look like some dumb kids show. :P

....you have NO idea.
During the second season of 5D's (the Dark Signers arc), I can't count how many people died BY NAME.
Let's also not forget pretty much the majority of Satellite "died" (their souls were used as offerings), and a few hundred people in Neo Domino City had the same fate.

I liked the part where that guy was hung on-screen by a spider...and that guy that got eaten alive by a card monster.

Yep, yep.
Gotta love getting hung on-screen by someone who's already dead's pet spider.

It manages to be dark without any gore what-so-ever (from what I've seen. Then again, I've only seen the 4kids dub).

In the dub, it has the most ANNOYING little girl voice @_@
