** The dub's
to:
** The dub\'s \"Shadow Realm\", an alternate dimension that may or may not even be Hell, where the Shadow Games take place and people\'s minds, souls or entire bodies can be banished. The original anime had a World of Darkness where Dark Games took place, but it was never elaborated on, and people who lost died, had their body fade away, or went comatose. The creation of the Shadow Realm gave [=4Kids=] an excuse to NeverSayDie while still keeping the Dark Games and their fatal results, and also was easier to swallow in terms of suspension of disbelief -- Bakura was banished to an alternate dimension and then came back, rather than being killed and having his body fading into nothingness, then coming back to life.

For the most part really, no, the people who actually died in the original did not come back. Bakura never did die in the original. He disappeared into darkness. Really, this only applies in the last arc, where the people who die come back to life. At the very least, the first part doesn\'t apply, as the addition of the censorship itself does not necessarily make more sense.

** In the dub of the Virtual World arc, Noah\'s research was on ways to expand the digital world across the internet to improve its capabilities because he\'s noticed its limitations and shortcomings, and Gozaburo used that research for his plan to digitize all of mankind so he could rule the virtual world as a GodEmperor of humanity. In the original Japanese anime, to prove how smart he was Noah researched how to use Kaiba Corps\' weapons systems to destroy most of the world\'s major cities, killing all but 3% of mankind, and Gozaburo decided to do just that when Noah failed to defeat Seto in their duel. \'\'Ruling\'\' the world makes much more sense than \'\'destroying\'\' it, at least for the Kaibas, and the virtual world being limited in what it can do explains Noah\'s attitude more.

How does that make more sense? The explanation is rather flimsy. How does ruling the world make more sense then destroying it?
