The prime example of this censorship is [[EP020]], where the entire plot of the episode was altered by creating new storylines to avoid elements related to the supernatural and the mention of ghosts and other aspects of Japanese mythology with several scenes being cut completely, another example is [[EP022]] where one scene was removed because it featured a character holding a card that had a six-pointed star that resembles ''the Star of David'', this resulted in these two episodes being re-dubbed when [[S01]] was added to ''[[Netflix]]'' in 2017. | The prime example of this censorship is [[EP020]], where the entire plot of the episode was altered by creating new storylines to avoid elements related to the supernatural and the mention of ghosts and other aspects of Japanese mythology with several scenes being cut completely, another example is [[EP022]] where one scene was removed because it featured a character holding a card that had a six-pointed star that resembles ''the Star of David'', this resulted in these two episodes being re-dubbed when [[S01]] was added to ''[[Netflix]]'' in 2017. | ||

This type of censorship can also be seen in other episodes such as [[EP070]], [[EP100]] and [[EP103]]. | ||
In contrast to ''Venus Center's'' dub, ''Super M Productions''' dub remained remarkably faithful to the English version, with the dialogue being translated almost word for word, and even the voice actors were instructed to imitate the performance of the American actors when delivering their lines. | In contrast to ''Venus Center's'' dub, ''Super M Productions''' dub remained remarkably faithful to the English version, with the dialogue being translated almost word for word, and even the voice actors were instructed to imitate the performance of the American actors when delivering their lines. | ||
