BTW, 4Kids didn't do the CCS dub. It was Nevana. Being named for doing this show is an insult not even 4Kids deserves. ;)
Ah, my bad. Actually, 4Kids work is pretty good. I think they do have the best voice actors and aside from the restrictions placed on them by the censors, they at least try to keep the spirit of the show and characters and not completely rewrite it and distort them.
CCS is one of my absolute favorite anime titles. (The other one is Vampire Hunter D -- I think I'd worry about what that meant, except that Madhouse was the studio for both of them, so I can claim it's just the art. ^_~)
I could see Mokuba hitting a bratty phase (heck, all of us do) and Seto being completely nonplussed by it, but Mokuba is too certain of himself as a person, I think, to turn to drugs or cutting. I think it might be part of being a teenager to entertain thoughts of suicide (I did, though I don't suffer from depression) though most are not acted upon. I could see a writer playing with that in a Mokuba-centric fic, but they'd have to be careful with his characterization -- and Seto's.
I think some of the people writing Mokuba as a depressed emo don't understand depression at all. Also, some people suffering with depression and are highly functioning individuals with virtually no 'classic' symptoms. I'd imagine that both Seto and Mokuba would be more this way than emo.
