The '''Shadow Realm''' was alleged to be a place of eternal suffering where people could be sent to, explicitly designed by [[4Kids Entertainment]] for the dubbed version of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime]]. When a death would occur in original someone diethe Japanese version, it would usually be censored in the censored 4Kids English version to say he/she is sent instead to "Shadow realmRealm". The concept is also mentioned in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]] anime.

Similarly, the Shadow Realm was used during a tag-team duel that involved [[Yugi Muto]] and [[Seto Kaiba]] dueling [[Lumis]] and [[Umbra]] atop a skyscraper in [[Domino City]], famous for its hollow interior. In the English-language version, the windows they stood on has a small explosive device on them, which would cause a small explosion, resulting in the glass shattering when each Duelist lost, dropping them into a "portal", which would then transport the unfortunate victim to the the Shadow Realm. In the Japanese-language version, the windows shatter as they do in the Dub, but here, the duelist would simply fall to their death, falling all the way to the floor. This can be further evidenced by Umbra being prepared with a parachute, which he deployed when his window shattered, after he lost all of his [[Life Points]], leaving his team-mate Lumis to surrender the Duel, and eventually has his mind taken over by [[Marik Ishtar]] and his [[Millennium Rod]].

Conversely, on occasion, the idea intersects with some of the original visuals - for instance, when [[Marik Ishtar#Dark Marik|Yami Marik]] does away with [[Mai Valentine]]'s soul, visuals distinctly show her soul to have been relocated to another plane, which the English-language version is then able to refer to as the Shadow Realm.
