any Bleach edits?

[roastedpekingduck]

It started with a simple peek into Bleach at my local Waldenbooks, but now, I've gotten really into Bleach. Just out of curiosity, are there any edits in Bleach made by Viz? I'd be really heartbroken if there was.

I don't remember anyone ever mentioning anything, or seeing anything odd in my brother's GN's (I don't remember what vol he has thru tho)

Nope, as far as I know, there has not been a one. Also, unless I'm mistaken, Bleach isn't published in Viz's Shonen Jump, so it may get a little extra leeway over something like Naruto or Hikaru no Go. That's most definitely not a failsafe against edits, but then there's not really too much to edit in Bleach in the first place.

[BlazinTy]

That didnt stop them from editing Dr. Slump or I's.

[Texhnolyze]

Or Ultimate Muscle.

But Bleach does seem safe so far. I'd recommend buying without worry.

Hence the qualifier "may" and the inclusion of "That's most definitely not a failsafe against edits." /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[roastedpekingduck]

What about the parts when the mangaka deviates to his fantasies and grandious cleavage?

[Texhnolyze]

I don't think cleavage has ever been edited before by Viz. Unless there's nipples I think the boobs are pretty safe.

Heck, even the cover for Volume 9 shows massive cleaveage on it.

[bakafoo]

Well, the covers are one. Each cover in the original JP-version has text in it that is related to the volume and the chapters inside it. Of the lists:

'The Death and the Strawberry'
'Goodbye Parakeet. Goodnite, my sista'
'Memories in the Rain'
'Quincy Archer Hates You'
'Right Arm of the Giant'
'The Death Trilogy Overture'
'The Broken Coda'
'The Blade and Me'
'Fourteen Days For Conspiracy'

In the localized version, we only get a clean picture of the covers.

But then again, I don't know if those necessarily count in your definition of edited.

[Rhodes]

reading those titles reminds me of the opening lines during some of those 60's avengers tv (british) show.

too bad it wasnt kept in the english version. i would call it a senseless edit.

those are like book titles for each volume imo.

Well, note that they are the titles of the volumes, and they are retained in the English version (on the back), though volume one is slightly different, and the English is more polished.

I actually prefer the clean covers.

[bakedleech]

Oh my. If we're counting changing the text on the cover as an "edit" now, every manga is edited. I understand the indignation regarding edits, especially in the more extreme cases, but you must admit that this is fairly ridiculous.

The Volume titles are on the back cover...

[Super Saiyajin Joshua]

I'm thinking of starting to pick this up. I'm just wondering if any edits came to light since the last post here? I'm not into getting things with edits in them.

[barbapapa]

No, Bleach remains unedited. And will probably stay unedited since the sort of content barely changes.

There really is only one part I could even see them thinking about editing, and not knowing how they dealt with a similar situation in Naruto, I'm not sure how Viz treats stuff like this.

When Ichigo <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>achieves bankai, his sword guard</span> takes on the shape of the manji, which many people will mistake for a swastika.

Other than that, I can't think of anything they might edit in Bleach.

[barbapapa]

They kept the "swastika" thing in One Piece volume 9 too. Just put a little explanation on top of the frame. (volume 9, one of Arlong's hoods has this mark on his chest)

Every volume of manga translated into English is edited. If you're going to read manga in English, then it needs to be edited. What we need to worry about is censorship, which is entirely different. From what I can tell, Bleach is not censored.

Thank you. It drives me utterly mad when I see people use the word "edit" when they mean censorship. It makes me want to find a bat (the mighty cluebat) and smack then with it. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Well I think that the general concenus around here is that when you say "edit" you mean "cencored". Just some people take it a little to literaly. When I say edit I generally mean, artwork changed for nudity or violence, names changed(i.e. Mr. Satan=Hercule), or gross devations of the dialogue from the original content.

I think I remember reading somewhere that the language is toned down (Since its Shonen Jump) so there arent really any swear words hardily in it but other than that its true to form...

It's Shonen Jump in Japan too, which is aimed at kids, so the language is not that coarse in Japanese either (contrary to what people want to believe).

Cool beans. I guess there's nothing to worry about then.

Before you guys move to correct people, you ought to know that words have multiple definitions. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=edit&amp;db=*)

Good to hear there's no edits/censorship BS in Bleach. It's a pain in the ass to start buying a series only to have to stop over name change/image censoring bullshit.

[fujishig]

Not to mention... what was the name of this forum again? Oh yeah. So I think we all know what "edit" means in this context.

While I don't disagree with you, since manga is being edited in different forms, I believe there is a responsibility to seperate the act of censoring vs. the appropriate editing to keep clarification between the two. Throwing around the same term twice in two different meanings only serves to convolute things since they can appear in the same context.
