Hulu edited Bleach's anime.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This article contains discussions of transphobia
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War episode #22 has just aired, and it censored a controversial moment in its English release. Episode #22, “Marching Out the Zombies”, started the central conflict with the Sternritter Giselle Gewelle, and in a surprising turn of events, Yumichika revealed that Giselle, despite presenting as female, was assigned male at birth.
The reveal of Giselle’s gender identity was a major surprise in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and the anime censored a controversial moment within it in an odd way. In both the anime and the corresponding manga chapter, Yumichika’s reasoning for calling Giselle a man was that she “reeked of semen”, and while the anime originally kept that line, the Hulu release played a completely different scene where Yumichika simply says he found her out.
At the end of the day, though, Giselle’s gender doesn’t matter all that much. Whichever gender identity Giselle is meant to identify with doesn’t change the core of her character, and it’s something that is never even brought up after her initial arc. The bigger point of discussion stems from how the English release of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War censored key moments surrounding Giselle and sex, as that would be a surprising turn of events regardless of what Giselle identified as.
A side effect of this censorship, however, is that it helps to fix Giselle’s character. Because of the sexual themes associated with Giselle, the idea of her being a transphobic character is often at the center of discussions surrounding her, but with Hulu editing out the scene where it’s stated that she “reeked of semen” and other sexual moments, Giselle’s sadism can be viewed separately of her gender and sexual identity.
