Dragon Ball Daima Faces Mr. Popo Censorship in France

Dragon Ball Daima is currently the center of a strange censorship controversy in France. Fans who tuned in to watch the series premiere on the French television channel Gulli noticed something very unusual. While the character Mr. Popo could still be heard speaking, he was completely missing from the actual visual scenes.

According to reports from the French publication Journal du Geek, the broadcasting team went to great lengths to hide the character. Editors either completely removed scenes featuring him or reframed the shots. Viewers spotted camera angles that were heavily zoomed in or altered specifically to keep the character entirely out of view.

This odd editing choice has left many fans confused and frustrated. While no official reason has been given by the network for the visual removal, it has sparked heavy discussions online about local broadcasting standards and censorship in anime. Fans hope the studio or network will address these strange visual edits in future episodes.
