I'm happy if it includes Capsule Monsters!

 

[Chaotix12345]

Yeah, it'll be nice to FINALLY have the full episode versions rather than the condensed movie.

Wait, scenes were cut out in the released movie version?

 

[Chaotix12345]

Yep. That's where the "deleted scenes" on the DVD came from. The episode versions have all of the footage intact.

 

[PokemonTVDub]

What scenes were cut?

 

[Chaotix12345]

Quite a few smaller bits. For example, Joey's chase scene with the Kuramas is longer in the episode versions, there's a part cut out of the movie where Grandpa explains why he can't use his Summoned Skull in a certain scene, and Celtic Guardian's dialogue where he swears his loyalty to Yugi when he's first summoned is cut.

I still don't understand why they made those edits for Capsule Monsters. Most of the edited scenes didn't cut out anything too important, but since 4Kids made it themselves, I don't know why they didn't just include six episodes on each of the original DVD releases instead of making them two movies. I still don't really like the idea of including them with the season five set. I would have preferred for them to get a separate release or not released at all since they don't really fit with the season or add anything new for the dub.

4kids officially placed Capsule Monsters as a part of Season 5, production code wise, so that's the main reason. It's also why when Toonzai re-aired the series, it aired with the Season 5 episodes. Like it or not, they're counted as a part of the total episode count. At least it makes this a true complete release of the series.

I'm aware of that, but it still seems strange when it's more of an OVA rather than part of the series, especially when it was made after the dub had already finished.

 

[Chaos Yoshi Mage]

OVA's on series releases aren't all that uncommon. I don't consider Capsule Monsters a part of Duel Monsters in the least, but I can't really complain about not having to buy it on a separate release.

 

[PokemonTVDub]

Capsule Monsters was always interesting to me.

No one realized it's existence until 2006, when it aired on an Irish station with no promotion whatsoever.

It also never had a Japanese Dub. This would leave me to believe 4Kids commissioned it, but they also commissioned Pyramid of Light, and that got a Japanese Dub. Was it too late to bring back the Japanese VAs at this point?

I remember when I first heard about it airing on an Irish station out of nowhere. I was so excited for it just because it was new material with the DM cast, but after watching it, I wasn't really that impressed with it. It doesn't really add much of anything to the dub and not as much of a guilty pleasure as the Pyramid of Light movie is for me. As for why it never got a Japanese version, GX had already been on the air for two years at that point, so it might have been too late to dub something DM related, especially when it didn't feature much of any new monsters. With the Pyramid of Light movie, it was dubbed only about a year after GX started. I also think that they would have had a more difficult time trying to fit Capsule Monsters into the original version's canon than they did with Pyramid of Light, so that could have been a factor as to why it never got a Japanese dub.

It's also worth noting, atleast with the movie's case, the Japanese cut is different (the Japanese version is technically longer, though the way some scenes are cut are slightly different than the US version, so in some cases, the US version might have some scenes lasting a second longer or two), plus them going in and making additional changes, animation wise, between being released internationally and what aired/released in Japan.

As for Capsule Monsters, or as Gallop's lists it on their website, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters ALEX, even if they didn't record the Japanese voice track, I wouldn't doubt they produced a Sound Effects and Music Track for it for international dubbers. This makes me curious as to which version the Asian dubbing companies got a hold of...

 

[PokemonTVDub]

And you have to wonder if 4Kids cut anything out of the material given to them to dub Capsule Monsters?

 

[PokemonTVDub]

From the official yugioh.com website, here are some of the possible stock photos that could be used:

We also know they have a stock photo of Diabound:

I would hope they had stock photos of Pharoah Atem, Mahad, Mana and Zorc.

Another factor might have been what it would have promoted. Pyramid of Light promoted new cards such as the movie's namesake and Anubis' Sphinx cards. Capsule Monsters didn't really add anything new in that area, either, so they probably saw no reason to dub it.

Nice selection of covers (Neat to see the Seven-Armed Fiend on the first one) and also cool that the Capsule Monsters eps get their own volume for people who would rather separate them from the rest of the series.
