Currently, the second season of Kimetsu no Yaiba went down in history, and fans await the third, already confirmed. But before it arrived, the news appeared that the version for China suffers from censorship.
That was something recently shared by a user of Reddit, where he showed a screenshot. In this you can see the fearsome Dakione of the Twelve Demon Moonsfighting against Tanjirou Kamado.
The image is divided into two parts. In the upper one you can see both as seen in the Japanese broadcast, as well as the one that reached the West through Crunchyroll and Funimation.
In the lower one you can see the one that was broadcast for the Chinese audience. What is most obvious is the edition that was made to the outfit of Daki. They tried as much as possible to cover her exposed skin, in a crude attempt to modify her appearance.
It seems that in this way the television station or video-on-demand service that broadcast the second season of Kimetsu no Yaiba he wanted to make it more ‘accessible’ to the audience.
It is not known if other content was modified. The point is that this type of censorship is not something companies want to do on their own. In reality, they must adhere to the limitations of the Chinese government itself, which controls everything that reaches this country.
Kimetsu no Yaiba also had changes in Korea
This is not the first time Kimetsu no Yaiba it suffers from modifications when it is exhibited in another nation. A while ago it was shared that the Korean version for Netflix It has its differences with respect to that of the other regions.
The most noticeable change was the letter-style earrings hanafuda from Tanjirou in the series. In the originals appears the emblem of the Rising Sun, which is very common in Japan. But in South Korea it has negative connotations.
All because it was used by the Japanese army in World War II. So this new censorship Kimetsu no YaibaAlthough exaggerated, it is not unexpected.
Sometimes this type of modification even occurs in the West in other anime. as it happened to tokyo avengersin which the symbol was censored manji so that it would not be confused with the Nazi swastika, which caused many complaints.
