Episode 5 was censored because the content was too graphic for a TV broadcast. Gotta keep those eyeballs in their sockets!

Honestly, the censorship is just annoying. Stick to the manga for the full, uncensored experience.

Crazy intense scenes in Episode 5 led to it being censored on TV. You can catch the uncensored version on platforms like Crunchyroll and Funimation!
