Tv broadcasts Mr. Popo was removed from

Mr. Popo has been censored from the German TV broadcast I remember (but I don't have link)

Now, sadly Mr. Popo got also censored from the French (Belgian) Daima dub:

Are there other dubs too?

Luckily not the Italian dub, the Castilian Spanish dub is out next Thursday so I guess we will see then.

I'm not aware of Mr Popo being censored in any of the non-European dubs though.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula will be writing :thumbup:

It's really not a good time to be a dragon ball fan in France with the censorship and a new voice cast.

This is interesting, the comments section say that Super also has censorship issues in its French broadcast, and that Toei themselves are the ones behind the censorship and that they did it so they could air it on the free to air channel "Gulli TV". I don't know which proof they have for that but It may indeed not be a coincidence as the previous problem with the Voice actors also had them involved.
And one of the users posted this image showing a censored design for Kid Chichi, the skirt seems well made to me, which makes me believe that Toei was indeed behind it. (My bad if you all already know this)

Ireland and the UK aren't getting much love either. Daima's still not available physically or with the dub on streaming. We have Super Beerus and I'm sure we'll get the dub, but there will likely be no Ocean cameos since the Copy Vegeta arc probably won't be covered.

Still, the whole voice cast who did everything but DBGT got replaced because of stupid Toei wanting to have complete control .

Was that back when the original Super aired, or is this a new thing for Super: Beerus?

The original Super. I don't know if it's the same channel, but one of the comments say it also had censorship during its broadcast. And that the bluray release is uncensored.
