Is DBZ: Kakarot censored in any way?

[RORO ツ]

To the people who bought the game or know that. Is game censored or not? I'm not talking about blood or swear words beacuse DB for me only in original langauge anyway. But I heard that there is no thing like cut arms or something like that or that they never show Mr. Popo face which is fck ridiculous... Can anyone confirm this things? Or what is censored if is in any way. Because if game is censored like that it's hard no from me.

[RataSellarda Jorge21]

you are just a weirdo lol go back to bestgore LOL

[Neppo]

There are blood streaks on people and bruises, Tien still gets his arm punched off, they show Popo's face as you can visit him on the lookout, Goku still get drilled by Piccolo and has a gaping hole in him, it has SOME censors but it is not 100% censored no, just small changes like Nail not getting his arm ripped off by Frieza, but a lot of it is still there.

[Merk]

there is dismemberment and popo. just no blood for the most part like you can see red inside the wound but of course there not gonna add blood fountains to a dismembered frieza

[Obtuse Moose]

Goku sticks a fake tail up his butt when he goes fishing if that does anything for ya.

[PrinceVinc]

Well, there is no blood like in the Anime, Piccolo never lost his Arm in the Radditz fight, there a Photos of DB where they say Bulma just got the Dragon Ball from Roshi after helping Turtle instead of telling that she had to show her Pantys (but was nude unknowingly at the time.)

So yeah, basically like most DBZ games that for no reason try to be PEGI12 instead of going for 16 or 18... which let's be real most DB fans are way over 18 at this point...

Popo is shown in full blackness, Tien's arm is still Cut off with no blood (which makes the Piccolo thing more weird).

Because new fans are impossible, right? Yeah, it's only the 90s kids that are fans, it's impossible for the franchise to get new fans. That is the most ridiculous thing i've heard someone say.

We became fans while we were kids too, weren't we? Instead of trying to change a franchise with you, maybe start to realize you've outgrown it? It doesn't need to be gorey or bloody or 18+. We started liking it when it was for teens and most of us still do.

Expecting a franchise to mature with you because you got older is just idiotic. And selfish.

Is DBZ: Kakarot censored?


What isn't Censored in today's Society? o_@
Obviously the answer would be Yes...

But in terms of Censorship, what are you asking about?

The fact that Goku might not be Drinking a Beer on the way to Namek?
Or the fact that Goku bathed in a Bath outside Nude?

In what way are you asking? Because DBZ in Japan had things like this,
but in American release it was censored...

However, I believe this has changed recently, everyone has to have
Censorship now, including Japan... That i'm aware of, so adding
it to DBZ Kakarot, seems that it is likely going to be Censored...

It is incredibly censored, they removed almost every visible injury in the game, they removed Vegeta's Final Galick Cannon on Zarbon and instead just show him blasting Zarbon into the water after you two fight in the air, they removed Vegeta coughing up blood after being shot through the chest by Frieza's death beam, they removed Vegeta ripping Android 19's arms off and instead just had Vegeta use his Big Bang Attack on 19 after beating him around a little, but then went on to show 19's disembodied head (Like seriously? You refuse to show a completely mechanical being with no blood getting their arms torn off but then show their decapitated head? Get your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ priorities straight Namco), Vegeta doesn't get his arm broken by 18 and instead just gets kicked a single time in his RIGHT arm instead of his left like in the anime, doesn't scream in agony and get stomped on, just kicked a single time then unconscious, they removed 17 killing Gero by decapitating him then stomping his head and instead replaced it with a vague explosion supposedly caused by 17, they also removed 17 & 18 activating 16, instead he activated himself or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...so yeah, I've gotten into the Cell arc so far and almost every visible injury with any form of blood has been removed from the game and yet they have the audacity to still label their game "T for Teen"...it is completely obvious that they wanted to make it "less graphic" for the kids...The original Z anime wasn't all that graphic to begin with...

Dude, he isn't saying that new fans can't come to love what we did, but removing things that were in the anime, like Piccolo losing his arm, Vegeta getting his broken, Vegeta ripping 19's arms off so he couldn't absorb the Big Bang Attack, it just starts to make no sense, we had those scenes in the 90s with blood yet we didn't turn out to be mass murderers or whatever, so why censor them now?

Vegeta still gets his arm broken, but yeah I agree

[Sayla Massochist]

I remember the major incidents where censorship would of taken place in the anime back in the 90s (Tien losing his arm, Goku getting drilled in the chest, etc) but I honestly don't remember DBZ being a gory anime, at least in its original American run on Toonami .I watched it on Toonami and the game more or less has the same amount of gore I remember from then (which is anything they couldn't remove without major animation edits). I remember maybe a couple times here and there where red "jelly beans" would come out of their mouths after being punched (I remember a story from that time where Cartoon Network addressed some parents issue with that as being "they were eating red jelly beans") and a few times when there would be red with the scuff marks on people but that was it besides piccollo who was apparently allowed to bleed because his blood was't red so that made it okay to show.

[Soulkey]

Yes. It is.
But it mostly comes down to certain scenes not being in the game at all.
I'm only at the Super Saiyan saga so I can't tell the extent, but here's a few notable examples of scenes not being in the game:

[Orion Invictus]

It's not censored, some scenes weren't put into the game. That's not the same thing.
If they were censoring the game, they would've removed Gero's decapitated head or Goku having a hole blown through his body, but they didn't.

It's weird, the game skips so much stuff, it's difficult to determine whether or not these things were censored, or simply half assed. They skip so much stuff and simplify so many scenes that aren't even violent, it's like they couldn't be bothered.

[Blk_Mage_Ctype]

Basically all instances of dismemberment have been removed. Nobody loses any limbs, including Android 19, (which is weird considering he's 100% mechanical) and blood has been massively toned down.

But it's Rated T, so what do you expect?
