Japanese voice actor Pierre Taki will be removed from Judgement's Western release after drug controversy...

Japanese are honorary French.

They just like to give their children western names

Where does the huge stigma with drugs come from?
This is the same country where nobody bats an eye at people putting live eels in their rectum

So where's the censorshipfags for this one? Is it okay when it's not anime tiddies?

What if someone got their hands on an early original copy? Would it be worth thousands of dollars?

Depends if the game is updated to remove it or reprinted.

The shaming doesn't work if it doesn't happen overseas as well.

Censorship is ok when the Japanese do it

But how would that work?

He's one of the central antagonists of the game

Recast him with a different actor.
Already did it for Tanimura in Yakuza 4 HD because his actor left the industry and they wanted to change some of the lines.

Here's your redesign bro

It's just cocaine, who fucking cares?
I'd need coke if I lived there too, it's such a dull country.

I just want them to add Move support for the lightgun arcade game.

>the land of anime tiddies and panty vending machines is too dull
I'm being serious here, you should honestly consider killing yourself

>Voiced by Pietro Taki

>That's all Japan is

My problem is when a publisher or localization team who had no hand in the game's production decides that the original creator is wrong for making what they wanted to make and that they're going to "fix it" or block distribution until they fix it themselves. This is a decision by the game's creators that comes from a place of domestic cultural values.

Basically:
Because its coming from the Japanese team, its fine.
If he was being kept in the Japanese version and removed from the western version, I'd be mad.

But that would only happen if he was threatening to say the N-Word or accused of touching an underage girl.

You've got everything from dead silent forest villages to the most debauched shit on the planet. I wasn't joking, if Japan is somehow too dull for you, this entire planet is, and it's already too fucked to take any more bullshit so just jump off a roof or something

Main villain.

>lonely incel who has anime figurines and wishes to sniff used panties telling anyone else to kill themselves

Japan is okay to visit, but living there would be dogshit.

MUH HONOR

It's Judgment. Link a source that knows the name of the game.

The western release is gonna be called Judgement.

imagine being some poor jap who doesn't know about the scandal that just bought the game and suddenly in the middle of your playthrough one of the main characters just randomly transforms into a completely different person. How would you react to that?

>REEEEEEEEE stop talking poop about where my animes come from GOD I WISH I WAS JAPANESE RIGHT NOW BEST COUNTRY EVA DESU NE

The Japanese name isn't even Judgement.

That's because they changed it.
Even from the initial announcement the english title was different (Project Judge)

>western release censored
oh no no no

I'm very surprised there's dubbing. I wonder if ShinYakuza will have dubbing too, seeing as they're trying to start fresh in the west.

I'm wondering if they're planning on localising the Yakuza gacha game.

Wow, I can't believe he did something that hurt absolutely no other person.

oh weird, i've never seen that cover yet, Is this a rare case where the American Box Art is actually an improvement from the original

I'm glad they're keeping the trend from North Star of having the Japanese cover as reversable.

They both look shit.

>actor in video games plays a criminal
>turns out he's criminal IRL
how exactly is this a problem? this only adds to the immersion. dumb japs.

>cp good
>drugs bad

What's wrong with cartoon porn?

isn't it supposed to be "Judge Eyes: Shinigami no Yuigon" in Japan?

3D > 2D

Go fuck yourself, Pat.

I just hope the replacement has a shit eating grin as big as this guys.

Both are bad tbqh but drug use is way worse

It's just "Judge Eyes"

seriously, what

Thank fucking god. I understand them changing it, they don't want to pay royalties and the likeness rights to someone who is now out of the industry. Same thing happened with Tanimura's actor and their hands were tied on that one as well.

both victimless crimes

>Yakuza game
>crime game
>actor caught with cocaine

The fuck is wrong with Japs in this regard. Seems like everyone successful or famous at some point will indulge in recreational drugs. Being so stuck up the ass about drugs while tentacle porn and used panties are sold without shame.

He's plays a Yakuza boss in a fucking Yakuza game no less. If this was in the west they'd praise him for living up to the role.

Jus let Japan be Japan and the West be the West.

keep western degeneracy away from pure nippon-chan

Judge Eyes sounds so much better I can't even believe they'd change it. It's an actualy unique title for fuck's sake. Judgment is literally just a word, and a common one at that. At least "Yakuza", while also a shitty renaming job, still had some foreign exotic rareness to the word they picked. But this is unsalvageable.

Did somebody say JUDGEMENT?

Stalin?

Stage name.

It's a work of fiction and doesn't even portray yakuza crimes in a positive light anyway.

Both are equally bad.
Shaming someone out of the industry they work in because they like drugs or cp is the minimal punishment. Death sentence might be too much but i'd be cool with it.

Censorship is okay if Japan does it!

BREAKING THE LAW

Why does it matter what the actor does outside of his job?

Cringe

it's stupid that they're removing him for a "controversy" that nobody in the west gives a shit about, but fuck it, at least it's still coming out.

the tourism experience of a country is not the same thing as actually living there.
japan has plenty of cool stuff, but there's no way i'd be able to put up with their workaholic grind of a lifestyle.

>"controversy"
He's literally a criminal

It is dogshit.
The economy has been a dumpster fire since the bubble burst and working conditions have gotten to the point 16 hour workshifts with unpaid overtime are the norm.
Essentially if you want any form of Western middle class lifestyle in Japan you'd need a top ranking job over there.

God it's so weird that Pat, the most contrarian and argumentative person I've seen is the one on the SJW Kool-Aid
Like I can get Liam since he was a twink, Matt because his wife wears the gucci Italian mob pants, and Woolie because BLM, but Pat?

A short balding white guy with a lot of hair on his chin to make up for whats missing from his scalp? He's got all the physical traits of someone who looks basedboy chic

judge eyes sounds like clunky engrish.

Main antagonist, fair amount of screentime more than usual in this franchise cause sometimes they have fuck all screentime. Hes around the same amount if not more than mine and Ruji

but why

Same reason some shitty pop band from Georgia named themselves "Of Montreal"

The contrast of his reaction and his audience's reaction tells you everything you need to know.

They're just not as fun as they were back then.

The replacement better be damn good because the original guy already exudes a pretty good Yakuza aura around him. It's really dumb they're taking it this far though, they're even changing Olaf's VA.

Japanese love France so much that shit like this happens.

>muh Paris syndrome
old news

t. APA

I bet the new guy is going to look completely out of place with bad delivery

Despite hating China, most Asian nations point to them and go "look at what Opium almost did to them!" as justification

There's also the looming fear that drugs will drop another nuke on Japan's work culture, despite the fact that businessmen buy party drugs all the time in Roppongi

>Bandwagon fallacy

But does the game come with Snoy rays? I wonder if they'll censor the naked masketta man.

Jap culture is weird
>do one drug
>ostracized for years until you make a public apology
>even after apologizing, you basically get demoted in society and get shat on
JUST like my animes

fuck japan. they already removed all denki groove albums from spotify.

>There's also the looming fear that drugs will drop another nuke on Japan's work culture
amphetamines are okay to chinks tho, they make you work harder

I want to go to Strasbourg next weekend and the only language i know is English and a bit of German.
How fucked am i?

>"look at what Opium almost did to them!"
considering the drug epidemic in the west

that accusation is well justified

Such a shame, he looks like a villain you love to hate. I think I'll just skip this game since I don't want to support this kind of censorship and I don't condone Japanese shunning recreational drugs to such an extreme decree. This guys career and life are ruined now and he will most probably spend a good chunk of his life in prison just for using a measly amount cocaine.

Also kind of ironic since his character in the game gets away with murder(?) in court and from what I've gathered the game is supposed to criticize the absurdly harsh Japanese justice system. Talk is cheap I suppose.
