![This uncensored footage was discovered attached to a 35mm print on the main feature, originating from a film collector in Japan, who is assumed to have acquired them from a movie theater there. The feature itself is censored, yet exhibits very rough and poor tape splices precisely at the same points where these uncensored clips begin and end. This strongly suggests that the uncensored segments were physically spliced out from the feature and replaced with their censored counterparts, likely at the theater itself during the film’s exhibition.
Accordingly, it is inferred that the film was initially distributed by Toei in an uncensored form, but the censored materials were subsequently issued and distributed to theaters—presumably in response to negative feedback about violence shown in the movie, though the exact causes remain unknown. There is practically no chance that it will ever be released in its original uncensored form again.
This 35mm print in its censored form and the attached uncensored footage were obtained and scanned by us in 4K. Some basic restoration and color correction have been applied. Aside from the infamous low-quality footage originating from an Italian VHS release, this is the first time any other legitimate source of this uncensored footage has appeared, and in proper high definition to boot. We present this legendary footage, unaltered and uncut, for the first time in decades. We share these select shots with permission from the print owner, but it is not possible for us to share any more than this out of our obligations, so thank you for understanding.
[NOTE: Even within this uncensored portion of the footage, there was still one shot that was visibly edited on videotape and then kinescoped back to 35mm film, but this may be a case of intentional experimentation, as the shot in question contains a very complex visual effect that may have been only possible to achieve on video at the time of production.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wy2eewxzjlar3hhzhawix3rg/bafkreig34iqtv4uzm54vkbyf6wdybrirpvh2zpiphhbdbpryl7u7eg7pe4@jpeg)
