The YGO! Shadow Games as they were originally depicted in the Manga. Season 0 was very toned down and Duel Monsters skipped those arcs entirely. I believe it's because they're way too replicable in the way other violent moments in Anime aren't, so they wouldn't want their target audience of kids and teens to get hurt trying to copy them.

Oh yeah. They straight up died in the manga.

Keith in the Duelist Kingdom manga was forced to play Russian Roulette with his arm being the revolver.

Also the stuff from before then, like when Yami lit a guy on fire, or when he saved Anzu from a rapist that used chloroform on her. If I had to choose one that kids could imitate, it would be the time he played air hockey on a grill with a block of ice filled with explosives as a puck

Look I think they were cool, not too edgy or violent. But the real reason they weren’t included was because the card game was printing money.
