This is a list of all TCG and Korean cards that were modified from the original Japanese OCG/anime artwork.

Religious symbols and references

Violence, gore, blood etc.

  • "Abyss-sphere" - Hand of "Mermail Abysslinde" is redrawn so that it is not around her neck. Her facial expression is also changed to look less agonized. The oxygen bubbles coming out of her mouth are removed to make the artwork not look like she is drowning.
  • "Aquamirror Cycle" - The facial expression of "Gishki Emilia" is altered to make the artwork look like she is not in pain.
  • "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei" - Arrows stuck on the body of "Ben Kei" are removed

  • "Designer Frightfur" - The various saws present across the body of "Frightfur Leo" are recolored and obscured to remove references to torture.

  • "Destruct Potion" - Blue mist coming out of the mouth of "Dark King of the Abyss" is removed (possibly because it made the artwork look like "Revived King Ha Des" is draining out the life force of "Dark King", not just his power)
  • "Earthquake" - Goblins' shadows recolored black because they looked too much like blood.
  • "Frightfur Bear" - Scissor blades jutting out of this monster's abdominal area are surrounded by a white glow to remove any references to torture.

  • "Nightmare Wheel" - Man is replaced with goblin to remove any reference to human torture.
  • "Nomadic Force" - Men in back are given irises and pupils to make them look less like zombies.
