Yu-Gi-Oh!, it looks, is taking another step into the digital age…<\/p>\n

Edit:<\/strong> More details<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starting August 20th, 2014, the Duelist Kingdom Arc of the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, will begin streaming on Nico Nico Douga<\/p>\n

While these are unavailable to people outside of Japan, it looks, the fact the original series is being streamed is a big deal, as 4Kids seemingly ran into a contract issue (supposedly regarding\u00a0Shunsuke Kazama and his talent agency Johnny and Associates, with regards to a lapsed contract for the original series) when it attempted to legally stream the original series on Youtube several years ago.<\/p>\n

Also 4KMedia has claimed it’s been trying to resolve an international streaming solution for several months now. So keep your fingers crossed. This may be a sign the west could see more of the franchise streamed in the future through official channels, in non English versions.<\/p>\n
