The premiere of the film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has wreaked havoc in China, where an innocent scene starring Bulma and her figure has become the object of censorship that for many is unjustified.
Although the animated feature film was released quite some time ago in the territory of Latin America where it was received with great emotion by all the fans to break some box office records, there are other territories where the film is just reaching theaters.
Such is the case of the Chinese market, where the tape just arrived a few weeks ago, although it has been circulating for some time through alternative digital media that are not exactly legal.
Because of this, more than one fan of this franchise has been unexpectedly surprised to discover that the film in that territory has undergone a drastic change in a specific scene that most would think is harmless.

Those who have already seen Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will understand by now that the facts are quite advanced to those we see in the most recent issues of the manga.
So, until now, the story would be part of the canon, and for this reason the writing team seems to have made an effort to create a plot that was sustained in an encapsulated way while aspiring to connect with the events that we will soon see in the print publication.
It is in this context that the film stands out perhaps for having some light and casual scenes, which, although they are not considered filler, do little to advance the story.

But that would not be the only case. Another part of it starring her where her figure also stands out and which was even part of the first official trailer for the film, was also eliminated, as reported by the Twitter user @Sekai_DB:
As he points out in his publication, it is from the Weibo social network that this uproar and criticism has been generated due to the unexpected censorship of the anime tape. Although in the middle of 2023 there are plenty of means to see the banned scene.
