Why Demon Slayer Fans Think The Fun Zone Is Censored

popular anime Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba is in its season 2, but since its announcement in early 2021, Japanese fans have been concerned about censorship, believing that blood and gore in their wars Yukaku-hen (section Parc d’attractions) will be toned.

There are several levels in this discussion that we will have to go through in order to explain if censorship is present. Demon Slayer S2 Is this a valid fear?

Fuji TV and the Calendar Change Censorship Mechanism Debunked

demon slayer season 2 was first announced on February 14, 2021. We were then first told in May 2021 that Fuji TV would be showing the anime in prime time.

Many Japanese manga fans shared their concerns on Twitter. Japanese fans think the blood and gore will be reduced this time around. However, Fuji TV debunked the rumors and later announced a new late night time slot for Demon Slayer S2.

The “Yukaku-hen” entertainment area wrong name controversy

Long story short, people in Japan don’t know Kimetsu thinks it may contain content that is not suitable for children viewing the title of the arc. It goes without saying, Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba there is nothing risky in its content. It was originally a Shonen Jump manga for children and teenagers, but it is not Love Ru It’s also not a rom-com series.

After this controversy, Fuji TV announced in September 2021 that it “plans to broadcast demon slayer season 2 without any change”. Even so, you can still find tweets from nervous Japanese fans looking for “鬼” (demon slayer censorship). So far, those fears have been wrong. And Mugen. former arc was censored on television.

Before we continue, we need to explain that as well. I’m going to simplify things a bit, but basically, in Japan, real life gore is much less acceptable than anime gore, where the scenes obviously aren’t real.

A common example is Resident Evil by Capcom. In Japan, new AGAIN the game still has a normal version and a Cero Z version (only 18+). However, the Cero Z versions are also censored. Especially when it comes to beheading and beheading.

Violent anime then and now

These unwritten rules also evolve over the decades. Hokuto no Ken (1984) aired on Fuji TV in the afternoon. And as an expert on Japanese subculture, Julien Bouvard pointed out that, contrary to popular belief that it was widely accepted, many parents complained about it at the time. Such a series can now only be broadcast as a late-night anime series. Or like a movie. Without being bound by the same restrictions.

The December 2020 episode of SegaNama includes a discussion of demon slayer The movie covers the main points I just made. The monthly stream is now over with Toshihiro Nagoshi and Ayana Tsubaki – the former Sega producer being a gold mine for this content.

Nagoshi also later mentioned that he apparently thought about leaving Sega a few times during his 31 years with the company. Maybe it’s a sign. If you speak Japanese, you should definitely listen to the full Q&A, starting at timestamp 1:34:16.

demon slayer Censorship: Manga Readers Think Daki Fights and Volume 5 Can Be Censored

Demon Slayer entertainment area Episode 4 ends with Tanjiro facing off against the episode’s main antagonist, Daki, voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.

Manga readers think the upcoming battles might be censored. With their gore in the original manga. I won’t say much to avoid spoilers, but I think those censorship issues definitely form by seeing what the graphics look like in some of the upcoming scenes.

There are instances of bloody censorship and gore even in late night anime. And personally, I find it even more likely to happen on Fuji TV. With a series of mainstream movies like demon slayer. The only thing we can do now is wait and see if Fuji TV keeps its word.

entertainment center episode 6 features extenuating scenes (updated January 16, 2022)

If you’re a manga reader, you’ve also noticed that the scene in volume 6 where Daki destroys part of the amusement park has been slightly reduced. In the manga, you can clearly see some people having their bodies cut in half, or worse.

The anime changed things up a bit and made the scene a little less brutal. Fortunately, this is a very small change, and I hope things stay that way.
