Accent Adaptation: In the 4Kids dub, Joey was given a Brooklyn accent to represent his plain speech patterns in the original.Aknadin also becomes this once Zorc's corruption sets in. Abusive Parents: Gozaburo Kaiba, and Marik and Ishizu's father.Also, the Doma arc has the characters losing their soul if they lose while the Seal of Orichalcos is in play, meaning the loser is left with an empty shell of a body. Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Shadow Games plus Duel Monsters means the world is frequently at stake.It can be excused by the fact that the season 5 arc ended up being an RPG and the betrayal did occur in the real past. Seto rebelling against the Pharaoh on his own was intended to be a larger plot point that didn't end up happening, so he ended up brainwashed. This is attributed to Kazuki Takahashi never getting to flesh out the story with Seto and Kisara the way he wanted.

Furthermore, though they differ greatly, both visions show Kaiba is quite clearly the Pharaoh's enemy, but in Season 5 he's mostly loyal and the only reason the battle occurs is because he gets possessed.

The battle is seen first-hand in Season 5, and is rather underplayed given the amount of foreshadowing and importance given to it before. Later, in Season 3 another vision of this battle is shown, but it's completely different from the vision showed before. Ishizu shows Kaiba a vision of the battle.
