Yu-gi-oh is dark magician not black magician

Iirc the "dark magic(ian)..." series was synomous to "black magic" as that is what they all used. I wouldn't be surprised as YGO has tendency to change name/word of card to this day. Don't forget 4-kids censored alot of the evil magic, cultist and murders game in the series with the "shadows"

Edited.

i mean 4kids has nothing to do with the printing of the cards by konami itself, I never actually watched yugioh dubbed, let alone by 4kids (im not american). However I do have all my 300~ cards in english as I like to collect them, as well as a few yugioh figures (statues and action figs) and its always been dark magician, regardless of 4kids

The name in japanese would translate to "burakku magician" which is black magician, but for some reason the english department of konami decided dark magician would be better
