What is with the Shadow Realm in Yu-Gi-Oh?
in Yu-Gi-Oh!, what is the problem with the Shadow Realm? How is it bad to be sent there?
Best Answer
Shadow Realm was the euphemism for death in the dubbed version. Original Anime/Manga didn't use it.
Yu-Gi-Oh! was imported by 4kidz media, who took it upon themselves to hack away anything that could be controversial about the show, to the point where they replaced any threat of death or violence with “being sent to the Shadow Realm. - cbldf.org
But even if you ignore the euphemism part, Shadow Realm is a place of darkness so imagine having a life in eternal darkness. So of course it sounds like a bad bad place.
