Jaden Yuki's LGBTQ+ identity was censored in the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. The English dub changed Jaden's romantic relationships to platonic.

Really love and enjoyed your Yu-Gi-Oh’s Queer Character Text and Subtext series as finding out how Gay YGO Series is as do want to share this as well too~ 🥳🥳 (As on my Mobile btw).

Unfortunately, the English dub rewrote Yubel to be female and cut out the romance angle of their character so that they simply wanted to play with Jaden.

In the decade-plus since Yu-Gi-Oh! Even outside of shonen anime, Zombieland Saga's Lily retains her trans identity in all English translation, as does Skip and Loafer's Nao in a big win for diversity.

The greater acceptance of Queer rights in America combined with the growing presence of LGBTQ characters makes erasing a character's identity not just disingenuous to the original work, but could be met with a fair amount of criticism and backlash. While this is all fortunate for modern anime, it does leave classic anime dubs that were changed such as Yu-Gi-Oh!

As a result, a far more accurate subtitled translation for many series that saw substantial changes is not difficult to find. Any fan nostalgic for Yu-Gi-Oh! GX can watch the full series subtitled on Crunchyroll.
