looks like this subject blowing up exposed both sides of the same mentally deficient coin: those who can't take a fighting game character getting
'd, and those with the otaku obsession with "getting revenge" at some fictional character via fictional violence
itagaki's vision involved none of this crude kindergarten grade (((violence))) though, so bringing the original creator up would only justify the exclusion of it even more. the clause you'd put before "in the first place" is not "why is it censored", but "why is it
here in dead or alive"
oh and lol @ this naivete
you do not make a popular character by reusing parts of another popular character. they should've learned from how popular kasumi still is over anything that reused her body, face or entire appearance. marie rose's popularity had nothing to do with her specific appearance, but the fact that it stands out when juxtaposed next to a cast full of samey, stagnated models.
