Various commentary forums in Japan distributed informational threads indicating that the animated adaptation of the manga was written and illustrated by Kousuke oono, Gokushufudou ((The househusband’s way), was censored in his show for China. The main concept that was removed was the protagonist’s tattoos.

ÂĢVariety shows in China were forced to put censorship tiles on their artists’ tattoos, but I think it’s pretty disgusting that the same thing happened in the anime. In this year’s series “Gokushufudou”, the tattoos of the protagonist in the Bilibili show were completely removed. Now the protagonist is nothing more than an old man with a scared face.

ÂĢThe Chinese broadcast of the anime Gokushufudou has been completely censored. All of the protagonist’s tattoos were removed and he just became an old man with an ugly face to laugh at. This seems like an exaggeration to me when it comes to censorship, but it’s not surprising to be from China. What amazing clinic did the protagonist go to to remove all of this? (Left Bilibili, right Netflix)Âģ.

The series premiered on the platform Netflix worldwide on April 8th with a total of five episodes with multilingual synchronization and shortly after confirmation of the production of a second part. For its part, Oono publishes the manga via the digital service Kurage Bunch from the publisher Shinchosha since February 2018. The publisher published the fifth compilation volume on June 9th in Japan, followed by the sixth on November 9th.

Gokushufudou Synopsis

“Tatsu the Immortal,” the legendary yakuza who single-handedly defeated a rival gang with a lead pipe, is a name known for terrifying both the toughest police officers and the most dangerous criminals. Shortly after his sudden disappearance, he reappears with a slight career change. Tatsu is now equipped with an apron and has renounced violence. He’s honestly trying to make a living as a householder.

As Tatsu gets used to everyday housework, he discovers that being a housewife has its own challenges, from the battlefield known as grocery store sales to kitchen mistakes. Although he lives in peace, misunderstandings seem to follow him from left to right. Gokushufudou follows the weirdly serious ex-yakuza’s everyday life as he leaves his dangerous past life behind to become a home-stayed husband.
