thread_title:  Twins? 

message: Wikipedia should let everyone edit everything including the article because the bad translation is actually in the American version and not considered stereotypical but for kids in the Japanese version. Kind of like Super Sentai spin offs in the 1990's there are card game spin offs in 2000's.
I and a lot of People who have seen the series,at least on RTL2 through satelite,in the Czech republic,critisize this series for the following reasons:
1.Its main charachter bears almost and identical(an unntaural) hair-cut of Yugi Muto in Duel Monsters.
2.The character of Shobu is beleived to be a mix of Yugi Muto form YU-Gi-Oh and Tyson from beyblade.
3.Shobus friend Rikota is almost identical to Kenny from Beyblade.
:Wikipedia does allow you to edit everything in this article! --Squilibob 01:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The Analysis is completely unnecesary.  This is the anime article, since there is a seperate article for the card game, they have no place here.

thread_title:  Duelist Guru Analysis 

message: It's not all that hard to imagine why. Just think about it, you're a lead creative of a large american media empire, and you are shown a new franchise fresh in from Japan. It's totally and exactly like Yu-Gi-Oh! - to the point of potentially becoming a plagiarism lawsuit time-bomb -, and to add to your plight, it's badly animated, contains silly and non-funny comedy elements, ugly-as-hell 3d rendered cutscenes, and has a below average, typical cardgame anime storyline. Who would watch it?
But hey! Let's spice it up a bit... It's already an unwilling parody of the genre, let's make it into a willing one! Then instead of being plagiarism, it will be parody. Instead of lame, it will be funny... And instead of below average, it will be UNIQUE. With all the silly words in bad Japanese used in the duels, with all the monologues making fun of anime cliches, it will be something totally new. And people will watch it for that.
It seems it did work more-or-less, at least the franchise is still alive.

replies: text: It should but since the article is alreayd tag as needing server attention i think that suggest the article is of poor standard, but there no point adding information like that if it cant be sourced in some way as it makes hte artilce even worse and more work to do--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 14:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  ability 

message: There is a LOT of bias in the "differences between versions" section ("In all honesty, the japanese version is more serious than the english"? really? how do WE know that? people say that so much about all the dubs. we don't know about the cultural connatations!) Also, it honestly looks like a weeaboo edited that. The terms that they used are just regular Japanese. Can a fan of this series please check it over, because I have no idea if these terms are meant to be exclusive to Duel Masters.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.244.25 (talk) 23:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bias 

message: Sorry, but this article is perhaps one of the worst I've seen on here. Aside from anything else, it doesn't mention there WAS a Duel Masters video game released outside of Japan on the PS2, simply titled "Duel Masters". It features five game-exclusive player characters, each of whom specialise in one of the five civilisations. Knight from the Anime appears to each of them in order to make them raise their ranks to "Master", obtain so-called legendary cards for their element and then face off against Widow who wants to control the civilisations for herself. The game also had OPEN cheat codes, which were all accessed by holding R3 and pressing certain buttons (X-[]-Triangle, for example, would take one card from your deck and add it to your shields). 
Overall, I think this other video game needs recognition. Jonouchisan (talk) 05:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  OTHER Video Game? 

message: Seriously, which idea was first? Was it originally a manga that evolved into TCG, anime and so on, or the TCG idea came out first but started with manga? JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 08:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Manga turned into Anime Series and corresponding TCG. Yami Michael (talk) 13:35, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Based on release dates? Yes. But we don't know how (Takara) Tomy planned the franchise. We need more resources on how they developed the entire franchise. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 17:19, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You would think I'm kidding...but that sort of resource just doesn't exist. The main sites for the game are the English wikia, as well as a Japanese atwiki site. Both cant really be taken as a "source", and the takaratomy site is more kid-focused, and doesn't really feature articles and details about design (like how Magic design the game/franchise). If I find anything decent, I'll post it, but yeah. 
Info on the manga at all is usually sparse and spread between places (including the JPN wikipedia page). Other then when it changed for a series to promote Magic the Gathering, there was no real plan to switch to a TCG. They might have been planning it from book 1 (until book 7/8 switched to the Duel Masters game) or it was a last minute thing, and then the game and anime followed. Too hard to determine. :/ Yami Michael (talk) 18:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

text: You know... I think this is the only mention throughout all of the article and the Talk page (and probably anything on English Wikipedia relating to Duel Masters) about the Duel Masters manga first using Magic: the Gathering before making its own pale imitation.
