Manga: Last third of chapter 216, 217, 218 (minus last four pages), first two pages of 219

Spoiler for Censored fan service:

The dancers in the manga were pretty much nude with the exception of wearing their bunny tails. You can tell that because one: we don't see them detailed from the front and two, when we do see them from the front it is from a distance but you can spot some navels here and there. The anime changed their outfits with these one piece swimsuit leotards thingies.

Spoiler for Blood bath:

In the manga we got this one page of a blood shower! Why we didn't see that in the anime?!!

Spoiler for The king is hungry!:

Now this change I don't mind!

The quick montage is add in.

Spoiler for First instance of censorship in the manga:

Now I'm pretty sure some of you heard of instances of gore censorship in the manga. Well, here's our first thing.



You can notice the dark screentone used to cover the intestines. In the first manga run it didn't have the screentone, but it was obscured by the logo


Even though before that it wasn't that censored

Spoiler for More censored gore in the manga:

I mean.... wow!

Spoiler for A bigger threat is coming:

Spoiler for And this is why:

you don't befriend a Sadako girl... ever!!

Spoiler for Can Palm get cuter than this?:

Stay tuned folks...!

Spoiler for But not now!:

Admit it... he got balls of steel!!

Spoiler for At the gym:

Not sure if you'd like to see something like this next to you... do you know how bad it'll feel like? To be outdone by two kids standing next to you?!!

Spoiler for And some questionable content!:

Notice in this scene when Gon says he was taught "things" you can hear him say "ero ero". And if you've been an anime fan for enough time, you'll get what he means... and it'll raise a lot of questions in your head about his past life and dare I say sexuality and if he knew what he was doing back then!!




On a side note, Viz used two different phrases at the end. Killua says "He's so... experienced!!" instead of "He's a grown-up", and Gon calls the ladies he went out with "Cougars" instead of "Fanatics".

Happy Gon is happy!

--------------------

Spoiler for Part 2:

Spoiler for An answer to my question from the previous episode:

So the monster is still there, but looks like you need gyo to see it.

---

Spoiler for More manga censorship:

So in the first run of the manga, the hands were censored using solid black squares, but they removed that in the reprint. The fingers on Cheetu's palm however were not totally uncensored. In the first run it was a solid black square and the reprint used a dark screentone. Now some of you might ask yourselves: "Self, didn't I see that panel uncensored somewhere?"



Well, to answer this confusion is this: The fingers were censored in all printed versions (magazine and volumes), but from what I could tell, the scanlators edited the panel to remove the tone. And since the reprint used the screentone, it's not that difficult to do you are good in photo editing. But you can notice the edit because the outlines around that area are thicker than the rest of the drawing. Hope that cleared something for you.




Now in the anime we see the hands in a fuzzy black & white point of view and we do see Cheetu eat the fingers, but we don't see them on his palm.

Spoiler for Gon after shower:

To be honest the first time I saw that panel I did not recognize him!

Umm, is Killua reading JoJo's Bizarre Adventures?!

Spoiler for Behold:

The magic of makeup!!




Ditto!!

Spoiler for Where's Killua:

The arrows were present in the manga as well

Look forward to the next episode.

-------------------

This episode was one that I've eager to watch animated just to see how the censored parts would be handled. It wasn't bad though.

8.5/10

So next week there's no episode, right? But hey if there's a break I'm a happy guy!!

Two thoughts on this:

First, as much fun as it is to think Gon said "ero" what I heard him say was "iro iro" which means "various things". Realistically, I think it's more likely that's what he said, in the anime anyway.

Second, on what Killua says about Gon's worldliness, while I haven't got a raw of the manga handy in the anime Killua says "otona" which means "adult" or "grown-up". Again assuming Madhouse used the same wording, I think that's the best translation.
