You can almost imagine Yugi's struggle just from the music alone and the song, Passionate Duelist, perfectly sums up the poetic sounds of that struggle.īoth soundtracks have their strong points. The more iconic songs from the Japanese dub are layered with subtly, excitement and action.

It feels more like a Journey to the West style hero's adventure towards greatness. Although much smaller in scale, it's pretty good at setting the mood. As opposed to its western counterpart, the songs here have a powerful poetic tone to them. After that, though, we get into the real meat of the Japanese soundtrack.
#YUGIOH ANIME SOUNDTRACK SERIES#
The Japanese dub opens the series with a J-pop song, something pretty common for any anime. Where the western dub's real beauty best shines through are the villain songs, like Toon World or more notably, the Kaiba Hacker theme. Of course, the easiest example of the series' musical style would be its theme. The music mainly runs on the rule of cool and is essentially there just to sound awesome. Everything just feels large and important. Each song is highly stylized, emphasizing size over substance. Just think of anything written by a modern day Hans Zimmer, without that weird fog horn thing.

The English dub soundtrack could fit right into the roster of an epic movie. Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters is the series connected to one of the most popular trading card games out there and just like playing your favorite video game, watching your favorite movie, nothing makes a game of wits better than some epic heart pumping music to go along with it. From that point on, Yugi and his gang of cronies get tossed into a hidden world of dark magic, ominous prophecies, and millennia old mysteries. The puzzle grants Yugi one wish, but instead of a flat screen TV and a stack of video games, he wishes for some true and honest friends. Everything changes when he assembles an ancient artifact called the Millennium Puzzle. The only things he really enjoyed were games. Yugi Moto is an awkward high school kid who has a difficult time fitting in and an even harder time making friends.
