This happens for a variety for reasons, including translation, censorship, and remastering.

However the laws date back to 1907 and were unchanged during the process of updating the Japanese constitution in 1947.

Rerun
A rerun or repeat is a rebroadcast of an episode of a radio or television program. There are two types of reruns – those that occur during a hiatus, and those that occur when a program is syndicated. Variations In the United Kingdom, the word "repeat" refers only to a single episode; "rerun" or "rerunning" is the preferred term for an entire series/season.

The episode is usually the "repeat" of the scheduled episode that was broadcast in the original timeslot earlier the previous week. It allows viewers who weren't able to watch the show in its timeslot to catch up before the next episode is broadcast. The term "rerun" can also be used in some respects as a synonym for '' reprint'', the equivalent term for print items; this is especially true for print items that are part of ongoing series (such as comic strips; ''Peanuts'', for instance, has been in reruns si ...
