Dragon Ball Daima faces censorship controversy in Germany

The new anime series Dragon Ball Daima, currently airing on the German channel Toggo Plus (Super RTL), has sparked controversy regarding the visual treatment of the character Mr. Popo.

Viewers have reported that while the character's voice remains in the German broadcast, he has been visually removed from several scenes. This has been achieved either by cutting the character out of the frame entirely or by using camera zooms to keep him out of the shot. While an official statement regarding this decision has not yet been released, observers suggest the censorship may be related to the character's physical appearance, which has historically been a subject of controversy.
