Japan’s Fate/Grand Order character art was first censored in China in August of last year. Now, the game’s illustrations have once again been edited.
In 2017, the local Chinese operator Bilibili was reportedly forced to get rid of two characters’ illustrations.

Instead of removing the art altogether, illustrations for three characters have been edited for China.
Via Twitter user Breeze3721, here are the before and after illustrations. Some of the changes are subtle, but some are not.
Subtle.
Not.
まじかよ。中国版FGOの源頼光と酒呑童子とゴルゴーンのイラストがエロくて公式に規制されます。詫び石10個が配布します。#FGO pic.twitter.com/EnKNiUrXQ8

One response to “China Keeps Censoring Fate/Grand Order Character Art”
Whaddya know? There are countries even more prudish and conservative than Australia out there!
They should censor it worldwide or just get it all redone, that ‘artwork’ is horrendously bad/stupid!
