* The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game]]'' is notorious for being [[Bowdlerize|overly censored]] in the English releases of the cards. This has led to [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Censored_Cards tons] of card illustrations being altered to remove anything which can be remotely considered a religious symbol, violent, a weapon, or sexual content. If any crap makes it past the radar, it gets rereleased with a new, altered drawing. Examples include:
* The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh! card game]]'' is notorious for being [[Bowdlerize|overly censored]] outside of its original Japanese release... Which makes it much more baffling that these somehow managed to get past the strict censorship regimes imposed by the international QC team. Examples include:
** The TCG versions of both [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Harpie_Lady Harpie Lady] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Harpie_Girl Harpie Girl] were originally released with their original OCG arts, but were later censored in subsequent reprints.
** The [[Stripperiffic]] Harpy Lady.
**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Aqua_Chorus Aqua Chorus]. You have to look very closely, but the dress is see-through. And yes, and those are nipples in the artwork.
** Harpie girl. Lolicon + Stripperiffic = [[Brain Bleach]]. The censorship was missed in the first run and was fixed later, but it was too late. It's harder to find the ''censored'' version.
** Both [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fairy's_Hand_Mirror Fairy's Hand Mirror] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Spring_of_Rebirth Spring of Rebirth] feature fully naked angels on their arts, and both were never censored in the English version of the game.
** Aqua Chorus. You have to look close, but the dress is see-through, and there are nipples in the image.
** [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Drillago Drillago] has an... Umm... "Drillbit" sticking out ''right'' on its crotch area.
** While most of the cards with, well, suggestive materials, usually just women with low-cut shirts/dresses or high-cut skirts will be edited for international release, they somehow didn't edit [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy%27s_Hand_Mirror this].
**The [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Thorn_Prisoner Thorn Prisoner] theme has all sorts of hardcore BDSM applied on its members' design, such as [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Thorn_Prisoner_Van Van] hanging from a cross and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Thorn_Prisoner_Darli Darli] being perpetually [[Bound and Gagged]] to a breaking wheel.
*** Nude women are really nothing new. (They always have something to cover their naughty bits.) The card "[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Spring_of_Rebirth Spring Of Rebirth]" proudly displays a fully naked angel on top of a fountain, [[Godiva Hair|her long hair being the only thing protecting her modesty.]]
*''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]'', being aimed at both actual children and older fans who were rather tired of the OCG, would unsurprisingly have this (although the explicitly kodomo-based playerbase do require the art team to hold back a little on things like explicit nudity and gore, which can be seen with the lighter tone of the general art direction in the game). Some examples:
** One that got caught by the Radar got arguably made worse! [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Artworks:Ultimate_Offering Ultimate Offering]. Fixing the sight of blood by drawing a whole new artwork of a [[Body Horror|monster bursting out of another]] ([[Nightmare Fetishist|grinning]]) [[Body Horror|monster's head.]] [[Refuge in Audacity|The monster is made of]] [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|blood.]]
**The DARK Aqua monsters revolving around the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Prison_Island_Ane_Go_Rock Prison Island Ane Go Rock] are themed around prison warden... With [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Kanan_the_Warden_Mistress heavy] [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Enguarding_Mermaid BDSM] [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dian_Keto_the_Prison_Master undertones] that would most likely go over the head of a good number of kids, but not the adults.
** Drillago. He has a drillbit sticking out right where his penis would be.
**While not as explicit as the above example, [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Accel_Wonder_Supra Accel Wonder Supra] does have a rather suggestive kneeling pose, which becomes raunchier combined with her eye-covering veil. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|The way she holds her staff]] certainly doesn't help.
* The flavor text for the censored nekogal #1 refers to her as a "Pussy Fairy."... Yeah
**Look at [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Handy_Lady Handy Lady]'s name and [[Ms. Fanservice|design]], and then look at her flavor text.
**While not the most explicit example around, the artworks for some of the Psychic Musician-related cards such as [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Stardom_Light Stardom Light] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Excite_Time Excite Time] are at the very least raunchy enough to just casually appear in a game with a general age rating as low as ''Rush Duel''.
**Speaking of, one of the more explicit examples in the game would be the LIGHT Fiend monster [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Royal_Demon's_Avant-garde Royal Demon's Avant-garde], whose appearance is literally a girl in skimpy outfit being [[Bound and Gagged]].
