America Loses Original Language Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters

4Kids Entertainment has announced that, due to an unspecified rights issue in Japan, original Japanese language Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters episodes are no longer available for authorized American distribution on any format. However, 4Kids will be releasing unedited, original language Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s and original language Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episodes on YouTube beginning this fall. Unedited, subtitled Sonic X episodes will debut on Hulu, “in the coming weeks.”

The Japanese “rights issue” does not affect 4Kids’ continued distribution of English dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters episodes.
