Italian[]

(Note: Since this was compared with the Italian DVDs, the TV airings might be more censored.)

  • There is a brief scene where after the guard saluted the commander, the original Japanese voice actor can be heard for a second.
  • In the Moroccan police station, Zenigata grabbing hold of Sophie and tearing her top revealing her breasts and she was scared but then slaps him was cut.

  • Due to translation issues; the mansion can be translated as Valtan (old fan translation), Baltan (Crunchyroll translation), Balatun (first Italian dub), Balutan (TMS) and Balutun (animation from the episode itself, second Italian dub).
