Welp, Konami/4K are still trying to censor Yubel, after all. In image 1, Japanese!Yubel’s lines are mirroring hir lines to Judai when declaring their duel in ep. 153: “[Let us duel…] The anguish and sorrow it forms is what will allow us to understand our love”; image 2 has JP!Yubel saying, “You shall experience what true love is…”
“Show how I care” at least conveys that when you’re talking to Yubel in the OW, but here, they just omit Yubel’s concept of love entirely, just like 4Kids did. I thought we’d be past this…

I just assumed that they wanted to keep the dialogue consistent with the dub versions of the characters. It’s still pretty confusing and annoying whenever even I can tell that the English and Japanese dialogues are so drastically different, but it is what is for better or for worse.

(it also has the awkward side effect of making yubel sound very pointlessly sadistic lmao. without the “love is pain” thing they’re just… weirdly kinky.)

you could literally make a drinking game out of when the JPN audio explicitly says “love” and the ENG text says something completely different. it’s so depressing ;_;
