You could just change the swastika to the Iron Cross still retaining the meaning. Just call it the "German Empire". Instead of "Third Reich" or "Nazi Germany".
They showed arm bands of Eldians of AoT in Marley. That hit the mainstream that's reminiscent of Jews wearing arm bands during the Holocaust. If it is a censorship issue 🤷♂️
| @Liental I didn't read the manga, I have no idea how far they gone with the concept. But as far as I know they literally only shown a single pic of the character, if that meaning is in the character that was given to the character and it's not just a throw away one, that isn't given any development/focus, nothing tells me it's not there still unless the symbol is literally all there is to hitler here(meh if so). |
| So much of Hitler as a historic figure has turned into fantasy for propaganda; I have very little surprise in this news. Kind of funny that Germany, supposedly the heardquarters of "nazis" have the strictest rules against nazi iconography in media. Just another reason I remain very skeptical on "recorded history," and why it is told. |

| @TiagoCosta OP said the character's hair color, eye color, and outfit colors were also changed, which definitely feels like an overreach if the only legal concern was the symbol itself tbh. which I didn't realize and is a disappointment to hear, on the face of it. (Idk this IP either btw, I am just keeping an eye on this season and it's discussion cuz any anime drama where there's a literal Hitler character oughtta be juicy tbh - I admit to being a contrarian at times, was all the more reason for me to watch Uzaki-chan, Interspecies Reviewers, Redo of Healer, and read Drama Queen) |

| @TiagoCosta Literally an Oscar winner and an international box office hit. And don't even mention Inglourious Basterds. Swastikas and Hitler are fine in arts, stupid Japanese. |

| @MoonSpider Don't just take my word for it. Left is the original, right is the anime. The original outfit is black, clearly inspired by Nazi uniforms. The new one is dark blue with yellow accents. Now it's a generic military uniform that could also pass as a train conductor's uniform. |

| It's really pathetic |
| Unwatchable now. |
| question is, if it was okay visual to print and distribute why was it now censored and revised in the anime adaptation. surely this is just some distributor issue that already sees the iconography as unmarketable even domestically. the mangaka also has the say in what they'd approve and could've probably contested it but garnered little support and pressure by production heads who must've convinced the mangaka otherwise. but they already had included hitler as a character and through dialogue and name alone they can just "pretend" the icon is a swastika and continue on. if stuff like this progress it means we live in a post post war (or pre-war) era that really avoids that visual compared to animes back then who could depict these even for animes meant for kids. |
Liental said: The only other anime that comes to mind in relation to having the same imagery is Saga of Tanya the Evil but I haven't watched it yet. Fairly certain there was no imagery like that in the actual series (it's been a handful of years for me tbh), but pretty sure it was a tech-fantasy AU of WWI, not WWII. But of course, the loli protag is in a military uniform and is pretty damn evil in some of her actions, so that's why you'll see the comparison being drawn in comment sections and stuff. I personally watched Chibi Reviews' coverage, and like 3/4 of the comments I saw were Tanya jokes iirc. OzenEnthusiast said: @MoonSpider Don't just take my word for it.

Now it's a generic military uniform that could also pass as a train conductor's uniform. Yeah, I can see that, sadly. Is there also some canon confirmation you can give me for the hair and eye color change? Because that's the claim that seems the most excessive and uncalled for to me... and obviously the manga panel being shown here is in black & white... KingofDingos3 said: Reading/watching specifically for that character 🚩🚩🚩🚩 idk man, don't judge - I'm new to the IP, but they are still just a character after all. Could be some great gags, hype moments, and/or character development. If this depiction of the H-man really was a fan-favorite, I'd assume it's for a reason other than being edgy. |

| Tokyo Revengers somehow did not had this problem and just released censored and uncensored versions. |
