How come the part where Zamasu kills everyone on Future Trunks timeline not restricted?

Post by keyz05 » Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:50 pm

We actually get to see kids and innocent people vaporized by Zamasu's attack in Super! Just to be curious, how come this didn't get any controversy or any censorship to Japanese parent's that show this to kids, anyway? Or give it an M-rating to TV ratings, instead?

Firstly: No, you don't see kids dying at all.

Secondly: Since when has death been a problem in anime?

Death in anime all varies, I've seen some pretty grotesque ones before. But in Super's case, it's actually pretty disturbing to younger audiences to see kids and people vaporized off-screen. Just saying.

I think you're vastly overestimating it. If children are traumatized over Dragon Ball Super of all things, they probably still have their soft spots.

That's the reason which makes their anime so good to watch..

It is not like the Zamasu arc is even the first time innocent people were killed in the series. Having him vaporize children or a still animation frame of Android 8 just standing there isn't even that violent compared to what happened in Kai.

Freeza impaling Krillin and other violent moments in the series were far more gruesome than Zamasu killing everyone with his universal attack. Though the implications of that moment are arguably far darker and dreary.

There's no way they will. Japan are known for telling countries to jump off a bridge if they don't like how they do things so no one's going to change anything for anyone's "feelings".

As far as I know it's looked down apon in Japan for people to act like that so if they don't like something they just leave it be, they don't go after everyone involved with it like what's common in the west.

There are very gross generalizations being thrown around about cultures and nations that I'm fairly sure said commenters don't actually have any real familiarity with or expertise in. You may want to refrain from doing that in a real conversation.

Moving this over to the "Super" sub-section. Furthermore, I can't actually parse what the topic title of "How come the part where Zamasu kills everyone on Future Trunks timeline not restricted?" is supposed to mean.

I don't think it was intended to be dark, just a part of the plot. Like Omni-King wiping the universe, there was no explicit darkness but if you look further into it you can imply that it was very, very dark.
