The odd thing is that the creators wanted the episode to be so raunchy that it would get banned.

Back when Excel Saga first aired in Japan, the censors pulled the 26th and final episode of the series due to its offensive content (pedophilia, excessive bloodshed, and frontal nudity).The episodes are still available as part of the season DVD set and on streaming services.

They involve Ken and several other local children being abducted and Ken's teammates (most of whom are between the ages of eight and eleven) chasing the villains' truck overnight to rescue them.

However, it may be reinstated once enough time has passed (or, if the ban is still in place, then the episode will most likely be readily available elsewhere). If an episode's content is felt to be too reminiscent of a major Real Life event, that episode is likely to be withdrawn out of respect. Every once in a while, a series will have an episode that eventually draws in some kind of controversy, for whatever reason - be it offensive to certain viewers, too risqué for broadcast (or after viewer complaints), a result of Executive Meddling (this also includes if the episode or entire TV show becomes part of a lawsuit), or because a certain actor in the episode is suddenly part of a major legal controversy (up to and including getting in trouble for sexual misconduct) - and as a result, those episodes are pulled from the air, and very rarely, if ever, are seen in reruns, or syndication, ever again.ĭistancing from current events is another reason why episodes may be removed from the schedules.
