A Series of Differences in the Anime 'Demon Slayer' Censorship Aired in China and the Original Version, Garnering Much Pros and Cons

Written by: Nadia Sabilla Ramadhani

The Japanese anime titled DEMON SLAYER has always been a favorite among anime lovers. Its impressive visual presentation combined with an interesting storyline has made this anime famous in several countries around the world, one of which is China. But did KLovers know that this anime has been subtly censored by the Chinese government? And this censorship has garnered both pros and cons! What does it look like? Let's find out more below!

On the release of the anime DEMON SLAYER: ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT in China, it received a lot of censorship because it was deemed inappropriate due to some characters being considered quite sexy and showing nudity.

Some characters like Uzui Tengen's three wives, Suma, Makio, and Hinatsuru, underwent some changes in their clothing. They were modified to cover their bodies more.

<nil>

Not only were their body shapes censored, but blood was also targeted for censorship. When Tanjiro bleeds from his nose or gets a nosebleed due to Mitsuri's seduction, the blood disappears instantly.

Mitsuri also gets censored when she wants to bathe. In the original anime, Mitsuri is completely naked but covered by her long hair. However, it was changed to wearing plain white clothes that cover her chest.

<nil>

Hinatsuru is sitting on the rocks and also getting a sensor change in the form of her clothes becoming tighter and covering her cleavage.

<nil>

The same thing happened to Nezuko when she wanted to fight. Nezuko's pink clothes were pulled up to cover her chest.

<nil>

Since this anime is about demon slaughter, maybe blood sensors shouldn't be completely eliminated. Like in this photo of Akaza and Douma, the blood flowing from Douma's mouth is censored with a slightly ambiguous black color to censor the blood.

There are many criticisms coming from fans of this dark fantasy and adventure anime. The killings of demons done by Tanjiro surely involve bloody scenes.
