So far Madhouse has defied all my expectations concerning the censoring of violent scenes in the series. However, I do wonder if they'll be able to show this. Maybe because it involves a young boy they might censor it. Hisoka's perverseness in Greed Island, something I once thought would no doubt be censored, will most likely be present though.

They'll show it.

Believe.

I forget, but his throat was also injured in that arc, correct?

I hope they don't censor too much. If they have to heavily censor that, then I might have to worry when they show this. Assuming we get that far.

I have no doubt they'll show
armless Gon as well as Gon's arm in hospital.
Nippon did show the first one even though it was in OVA. I think Madhouse wouldn't lose to them =3

The DVD set is great but... Why did they stop doing it in 3ep/DVD format?

That is awesome awesome box art. Hisoka looks AMAZING there. <3

It looks like they just compiled Heaven's Arena arc into one DVD box set?

Regarding future censorship... My prediction is that we will see those scenes. However, they won't show all the gory little details the manga shows. I'm thinking back to the recent Uvo fights. Sure, the mafia guards were getting their heads crushed, necks broken, etc, but they weren't getting their limbs torn off as shown in the manga. I think this is a good indication of how far Madhouse is going with the more brutal scenes in the manga. Plus, I have no worries about any censorship involving Hisoka's perverseness. Just look at the Heaven's Arena episodes.

The Heaven's Arena DVD cover looks awesome. My only nitpick is that it isn't as quirky as the past few covers. Those covers were pretty imaginative xD

So I tried to guess colors for Kite by mixing the manga version and the TV-1...
It's time for Color Kaito bracket!

Now they sold it in bulk... no per 3 episodes???
Well, they stopped doing volumes with the last release, actually. They've started to doing releases by arc, so instead of v8 we got "Zoldyck Family arc" Coincidentally, the Zoldyck arc contained only a minimum number of episodes, and they were able to spread it out so that three episodes per disc still worked.

This release for Heavens Arena will have four episodes on each disc.

-EPISODE 44-

Manga: last part of chapter 75, chapter 76 and first half of chapter 77
Nippon’s Adaptation: Second half of episode 53, first third of episode 54


Episode starts with more Uvo madness


In the manga the Troupe members are already playing cards. In Nippon’s adaptation they started earlier. Here, Shalnark tells Uvo of the arrivalof the Shadow Beasts and then they play.


More toned down violence again. Worm’s bones were sticking out of his fingers after punching Uvo in the manga. The bones did not stick out in either adaptations, however, Worm’s hand was twitching in Madhouse’s adaptation.




Here in the manga, Worm’s eye flew off his face after the punch. In Madhouse’s adaptation the eye popped off but didn’t fly. In Nippon’s adaptation the punch came straight forward and therefore the eye didn’t pop out nor were the teeth shattered.




Worm talks about his powers in Nippon’s adaptation and how it increases when he’s underground. The power explanation was not in the manga along with the chit chat of the rest before attacking.


Uvo’s super awesome enhancer attack. It took some time to charge up compared to Nippon’s adaptation which was in an instant.




A direct full view of Worm’s severed arm! In the manga we don’t get to see it up close. In Nippon’s adaptation we see the moment it get torn off and we later see it attached to Uvo’s arm but we don’t see the whole piece.




And here’s the spider tattoo. In actuality, the shirt did help conceal it because it felt weird how they were behind him and didn’t see that giant tattoo on his back fully exposed in the manga and Nippon’s adaptation!




Kurapika’s tension





Some info on Uvo’s abilities and power in Nippon’s adaptation came from his info page from chapter 79

Uvogin (Enhancer)
His only interests are strength training and winning street fights. He focuses his entire aura into his fist to produce his Big Bang Impact, which has the destructive force of a small missile. His goal is to hone his punch until it creates a blast equivalent to a nuclear bomb.




Porcupine was hairier in the manga compared to the anime. In Nippon’s adaptation we see how it works up close.




This scene remains as it is in Madhouse’s adaptation. In Nippon’s adaptation the blood was toned down and we don’t get to see the bite when it happened.




Porcupine’s scene was extended a bit in Nippon’s adaptation


This scene is the same as the previous one (Note the animation error of missing Porcupine from Uvo’s arm in Nippon’s adaptation)




Uvo’s paralysis




Machi’s comment on Rabid Dog’s style was changed to Feitan in Nippon’s adaptation.




Leech’s leeches were darker colored in both adaptations in contrast to the manga where they are in lighter color. Leech’s explanation in Nippon’s adaptation came with a diagram of Uvo’s body and where the leeches go to.




The bite scene surprisingly came in a direct view and unaltered despite its gory nature!! The only thing different is not seeing a part of his brain in his head and the blood coming out of him when he falls down! In Nippon’s adaptation it was from a different angle and the bite sound effect was terrible. It sounded like he was biting an apple, and we get the usual black blood.




Uvo’s rape face



Uvo’s inhale was not as the manga. And to be honest, I didn’t like the vacuum sound effect.




Uvo’s spitting face is a beast in the manga! Too bad neither adaptations made it close.




Rabid Dog tried to block Uvo’s shot by using nen. The nen did not appear in the manga but the injury remains as it is except that we don’t see his face from the front when the shot went out of his head. The scene was toned down in Nippon’s adaptation.




Somehow the troupe members knew that Uvo is going to shout at the top of his lungs in Madhouse’s adaptation in contrast to the manga where they didn’t expect that and got mad at him for not telling them beforehand. And the yell didn’t sound that powerful in both adaptations. Kurapika didn’t cover his ears in the manga, but poor Senritsu! It’s a miracle she didn’t get deaf with her super hearing ability!!




Porcupine’s death is as it is except not having blood coming out of his eyes and Uvo toys with him for a while. In Nippon’s adaptation we don’t see his ears bleed, although we do see a trail after he falls down.





Weren’t they prepared for it?

The guards discussion scene was moved before the troupe discussing Uvo’s situation and how to treat him in both adaptations. In Madhouse’s adaptation Kurapika was more rebellious towards Dalzollen. In Nippon’s adaptation the argument was somewhat between her and Squala.




Senritsu’s ability




Uvo’s shocked reaction on Shizuku’s inability to suck out the leeches was not seen in Madhouse’s adaptation




Nippon’s adaptation gives us the build up for Uvo’s capturing which in my opinion ruins the element of surprise.



Do you know how the middle finger is considered an insult?! :teehee

In the manga, Worm reappears to ask for help from the rest of the Shadow Beasts before Kurapika’s move. Here, it’s after capturing Uvo. This scene was omitted in Nippon’s adaptation.



A short filler scene of Chrollo getting updated on the situation. This was another scene in the manga and it’ll be in the next episode and therefore I’m not gonna talk about it at the moment.


In Nippon’s adaptation Basho was driving instead of Kurapika




Kurapika’s chains in the manga got bigger in this scene. In both adaptations they remained in their original size.




Uvo foaming was also in the manga (Note the missing chains around Uvo’s neck in Madhouse’s adaptation)




Kurapika’s heart




After seeing this episode and the previous one, I can say the Madhouse did keep their promise by making this arc different in tone compared to the previous arc. What we saw of darkness and gore was totally unexpected and we didn’t think they’d be able to pull it off! Rest assured, the series is in good hands, and let the haters eat their hearts out!

9.5/10

Excellent comparison.
After seeing the Nippon heart with chains (last pic) I actually prefer that one over the Madhouse one.

Thanks for another great review! :)

I do have to say... Uvo's rape face in Nippon's adaptation is rather... lacking, to say the least (but they tried).
