Surprisingly, that makes the series more intense than it should be.
There are even some behind the scene controversies that managed to become news for the big fan community.
Here are some dark facts that you probably did not know from theYu-Gi-Oh!main series and spin-offs!
20Managed To Reverse Time
Yu-Gi-Oh!
The movie starts off with Yusei and his friends riding around town, only to encounter the villain.
Who didnt get a bit sentimental when Yugi was looking for his grandfather?

At least that the trio were able to defeat Paradox and restore time before he could go further back.
19If It Weren’t For Those Cards…
Yu-Gi-Oh!
He is the jot down of person who would be there when you need him.

Crow was originally going to be the last Dark Signer that Yusei, Jack, and Akiza would face.
Since Crow never became one, what happened that made the story change?
It was the Blackwing cards.

This would have changed everything in5Dsand even help Akiza get more great character development.
18The Duel That Never Happened?
Whether the theory is confirmed or not, speculating of how the duel came to be is very intriguing.

However, there was another dubbing company that eventually got around to localizingYu-Gi-Oh!to its original source material.
Not to mention, 4Kids was not going to let the show go.
This was not the only time a dubbing company tried to dub a season ofYu-Gi-Oh!.

There is a video that actually showsanother English dubof the third spin-offYu-Gi-Oh!
Zexal, recorded at Bang Zoom Studios.
You might hear some familiar voices like Johnny Yong Bosch and Vic Mignogna.

Perhaps in another world, we would have gotten this new dub ofZexalinstead.
16An Alternate Universe?
In fact, they are important characters in the show and are not there just for fanservice.

Yet, they have differences from their main counterparts so that they are not just exact copies.
Other characters like Alexis Rhodes and Aster Phoenix from GX also make an appearance in Arc-V.
The ones we are familiar with come fromdiverse dimensionsdepending on the bang out of Extra Deck Special Summons procedures.

It is a shame that no characters fromDuel Monstersappeared.
Carly was an interesting side character who helped Jack develop from a selfish man to a caring one.
Li-Mei was a part of an organization in Japan called the Roma Sophia cult.

Iliaster was also one but were changed to time travelers to avoid5Dsbeing associated with any cult.
It was unfortunate, but at least there was no harm done for both her and the show.
It was a very memorable duel, but for more reasons than you would expect.

Remember that the duelists legs were chained to the floor?
The circumstances for whoever loses would actually end up not walking, to put it very mildly.
The original is justactual buzzsaws.
As Yami and Arkana lose life points, the buzzsaws would get closer until it hits zero.
This occurs inDuel Monsterswith one of the main characters Tea Gardner.
To save up money, she works at Burgerpalooza despite a part-time job being against school rules.
We can thank Yamis mind crush ability to stop the mugger for good.
There was an interesting relationship that we got to see but never see its closure.
It is no other than Jaden andYubel.
That sounds kind of crazy, right?
If you watchedBonds Beyond Time, you might be confused as to why Yubel resides in Jaden.
Initially, Yubel was manipulative, but she later turned into a calm and more mature partner for Jaden.
That might not sound unusual, but here is some interesting behind the scene coverage.
It is not justDuel Monsters, butGX,5Ds, and the others are also available for streaming.
