Plus the movie is adding in another Sennen Item, in the manga and the original Anime there are only 7 Sennen Items. 4 Kids is really just using this movie to make a quick grab at money before Yu Gi Oh's popularity goes down, and I think they allready know that the movie would fail in Japan since they allready know what really happens after Battle City.
Which is why this movie is to fear. America is crap, so sorry to say, anything anime coming out it America first has to have something (whee, text tags!) wrong with it.
WAITASEC... another Sennen Item?!?! DEAR LORD, WHAT IS 4KIDS DOING TO US?! There are only supposed to be extra items in fics and art and doujinshi and other non-official things like that... there's only 7, you American dubbing losers!

I think their afraid of YGO going into the same stage that Sailor Moon and YuYuHakusho did. *gets to final arc* 'OMFG we can't show this to little kids!...' *notices they're on the air* 'And Yugi defeats Marik the end please watch the movie have fun BUY YU-GI-OH!' *pop* *Yu-Gi-Oh! goes by the wayside*

*sigh* I'm really afraid now...
