00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're looking over specific scenes in anime that, for one
00:11reason or another, were removed from broadcast.
00:1710.
00:22Kirby's Itchy Trigger Finger Kirby right back at ya!
00:25Given their iconic ability to absorb the power of whatever they swallow, you'd think that
00:29Kirby wouldn't have a need to be strapped.
00:32This anime says otherwise.
00:34While working a stint as an officer, we see what happens when Kirby accidentally is given
00:39a firearm.
00:48Basically he shoots up everything, narrowly avoiding committing numerous homicides while
00:57peppering the entire police station with holes.
01:00Seriously, this puffball was one unlucky shot away from being thrown in the clink.
01:129.
01:13Imprisoned child!
01:14Beyblade!
01:15Remember, in Russia, they take Beyblading very seriously.
01:19So much so that failure could land you in the Gulag, or at the very least trapped in a dark
01:24abbey.
01:29Not exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a kid's anime about spinning tops
01:35containing magical beasts.
01:36I know why this place haunts my dreams.
01:39And yet, that's exactly what happens when Kai goes snooping around.
01:44Not only discovering a link to his own past, but also a child behind Boz, who had failed
01:49Boris' malicious Beyblading training camp.
01:52Needless to say, we didn't get to see this dark revelation in the dub.
01:598.
02:00Loot Attire!
02:01Mega Man Anti-Warrior!
02:02Yeah!
02:03Not the kind of anime where you'd expect this kind of thing to pop up, given the age of the
02:07cast as well as the general style of the show.
02:13After a virtual idol starts causing chaos and kidnapping several of their female friends,
02:18Lan and his buddies attempt to go undercover and save them by dressing in skimpy clothes
02:25themselves.
02:26Naturally.
02:27Look, if they want to strut their stuff, that's one thing, but we could have quite happily gone
02:31our whole lives without seeing Dex in a crop top.
02:367.
02:37Robots Get Randy
02:39New Century
02:41Mecha's indulging in lewd behavior is not new to anime.
02:51In fact, it's a trope that will likely continue to become even more obscene as time goes on.
02:56That being said, out of all the robots wanting to get down and dirty, Benjamin and Sebastian
03:13from Zoids were not on our bingo cards.
03:16Wanting to soak in some summer sun on the beach, it doesn't take long before the two are lathering each
03:21up with oil and making noises that will make you question who on the production team allowed
03:26their fetish to slip in.
03:28It wasn't allowed in the dub though.
03:306.
03:31Holding The Tower
03:36Robots In Disguise
03:42This ban is both unfortunate yet understandable.
03:46On the one hand, it's a pivotal scene for the episode where Skybite and the rest of the
03:54Predacons hold up an entire building in order to save the trapped citizens inside.
03:59Something we never thought we'd see.
04:13Alas, this scene was completely removed during the episode's western release given how close
04:18it aired to 9-11, meaning that Skybite's unforeseen act of heroism was missed by countless fans
04:30of the franchise.
04:315.
04:32Misty's Exorcism
04:34Pokemon
04:35Apparently, Misty is a god-fearing woman, or at least a wannabe ghost hunter.
04:40But no matter what the disguise, I'll always be.
04:43Awfully ghastly.
04:48Why else would she have a cross, hammer, and wooden stake on standby?
04:52After encountering a ghastly, Misty decides to take a practical approach to dealing with
04:57the Phantom by threatening to exercise it.
05:01Then how about this?
05:03What's that?
05:04It's a cross.
05:05I've also got garlic, a stake, and a hammer.
05:09Would that even work?
05:11Either way, the Hindu dub of the episode had this scene cut out entirely, likely due to
05:16the presence and intended use of a crucifix.
05:19If they thought that was bad, wait until they meet Arceus.
05:22What do I look like, a vampire or something?
05:254.
05:26The Brothel
05:28Sonic X
05:29Turns out this warrior echidna, for all his bluster and punching power, is a little stumpy
05:34when it comes to understanding the wider world.
05:37Case in point, when he proceeds to get utterly flustered after walking into an Arabian brothel.
05:43No, this is not a plot thought up by Chris-chan.
05:46While pursuing two of Eggman's robots, Knuckles finds himself walking into the raunchy establishment,
05:52filled with belly dancers aplenty, before promptly hightailing it out of there.
05:56As you'd expect, this whole segment was cut out of the dub entirely.
06:04Maybe they wanted to keep all the sex appeal contained to Rouge's character only.
06:083.
06:09Snake Lady's Got A Gun
06:15Dragon Ball Z
06:16Goku's journey across Snake Way had all kinds of crazy caveats to it, but none as wild as
06:22the time he ended up meeting Princess Snake and her royal attendants.
06:27You can't leave yet.
06:28I've got something to show you.
06:30And it's my gun.
06:31Determined to keep Goku at bay for as long as possible, one even suggests they play a game...
06:37of Russian Roulette.
06:38Girls, he's leaving!
06:40Look sharp now!
06:41It's played off as comedic, even though she goes right on ahead and ends up pulling her
06:46at it and exiting the series quickly.
06:48While there's plenty of violence to be seen across the original dub, apparently popping
06:52a gap in a snake woman's cranium was a step too far for the senses.
07:102.
07:11The Disney Chop
07:13Macross Dynamite 7
07:15The Macross Saga has not had the easiest time finding mainstream success in the West,
07:20aside from within the unflinching hearts of the most hardcore fans.
07:27That being said, the franchise in its original format has slowly been dripping onto streaming
07:33services, so there's never been a better time to enjoy Macross and its many, many, many,
07:38many spin-offs and sequels.
07:40Except for this specific OVA.
07:42Why?
07:43Because it originally featured the character of Mylene, an underage girl, being drugged and
07:47assaulted.
07:48Naturally, Disney Plus wasn't going to allow that to fly, and so the scene suffered the
07:52chop of the mouse.
07:54It's okay.
07:55It's okay.
07:57It's okay.
07:59It's okay.

08:16Yu-Gi's Mom
08:17Yu-Gi-Oh!
08:18Door Monsters
08:19Wait, Yu-Gi has a mother?
08:20That's right.
08:21All these years and you just thought it was him and his grandpa, but nope.
08:25Yu-Gi does indeed have a living, breathing parent.
08:28Just not in the dub.
08:30And I activate your mama.
08:31Then I activate...
08:32What?
08:33For reasons apparently most unfathomable, all her scenes from the original were cut, painting
08:39the picture that Yu-Gi's parents just didn't exist.
08:42Yu-Gi?
08:43Did four kids send them to the Shadow Realm or something?
08:47Hang on.
08:48Why does she look strikingly similar to Kaiba?
08:50Oh, sweet Ra.
08:51After all these years, it turns out, I'm your daddy.
08:55Which of these banned scenes do you think should have been kept in?
08:59Let us know in those comments below.
