Return of Duelist - Censorship

Hello everyone,
Like I did for the previous sets, I will do an article about the censorship in the latest set which came out in TCG in August : Return of the Duelist.

Every time a set come from the OCG to the TCG, some cards get little changes.
I'm not talking about effect or ATK, I'm talking about their artwork.
For some reason, the game in TCG is supposed to be appropriate for little kids or whatever, so some content must be controlled. Therefore, card artworks are redraw to appear less agressive, horrific, or sexual.

Below are the censored cards from Return of the Duelist :



1/ High Priestess of Prophecy

If you look closely to her breast, you will see that those two fruits have been juiced!
And also, a piece of clothing has been added to cover her belly.

2/ Spellbook Of Wisdom

The same here.
Usually when a monster card is censored, every card he or she's appearing in after that, is censored the same way.


3/ Soul Drain

Revived King Ha Des's horns has been removed, the same way Dark Ruler Ha Des's horn has been removed from Skill Drain. And the horns have been replaced with weird balls.


4/ Three of a Kind

This card reminds me of the time when the deck Rescue Cat Synchro was in vogue, and we could do things like : summon Summoner Monk, effect: summon another one, then effect: summon Rescue Cat, then effect: summon 2 X-Saber Airbellum, then synchro summon 2 Dark Strike Fighter for game.
Good times...

But anyway, the thing that is different between those two cards is the writen language on the cards on the picture of the card, you're following me?
For example, サイバー・ドラゴン became Cyber Dragon.

5/ Turnabout

Everytime, and I mean everytime, this fat-ass Emperor is on a trap card, in OCG he is topless and in TCG he is with a white shirt.

6/ Impenetrable Attack

Let's just say that in OCG, the Hero on the picture is a real man with real attributes, and in the TCG he is just a doll. If you know what I mean.


7/ Mahunder

We can't see the little part of her leg anymore, her skirt is longer.


That's it for this set.
I'll do the next Censorship article for Abyss Rising.
If you are interested in seeing the past censored cards article I did, here is the one about Galactic Overlord.
