In this episode, Joe and Alastor pose and Captain Blue and a made-up squid villain, respectively, in order to cheer up a little kid in the hospital voiced by Mona Marshall. It's an episode that leans hard into the comedy aspect of this franchise so there isn't a lot that needed censoring. When you don't need to cut for content, you cut for time.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Review (and Capcom vs. SNK bonus round)
With Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves happily promoting a
well-known potential rapist and tax evader, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 was my
most anticipated game of the year and a huge deal for fighting games on the
whole. Just think that in the old days, having
one of the games on a console was worth 50 dollars each and now they’re all in
one place for 40 dollars. Those games on
consoles have had varying degrees of inaccessibility over the years, with one
in particular being virtually impossible to play until now.
This new collection also means that it’s time for another
addendum in this blog’s documented battle between SNK and Capcom. Until this collection I couldn’t take Plasma
Sword, Project Justice, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper or the first Capcom vs. SNK
into consideration, but now just like with the Marvel Collection, that will be amended
and Capcom will have the chance to break the tie and be the king of
arcades. I will still be going over the
games I’ve already looked at as well to judge any subtle differences between
the versions featured in this collection and the ports I played before.

TV Edits of the Viewtiful Joe Anime: Episode 16
Joe and Junior travel to a flower field where a mysterious girl with magic powers named Alisa protects a miracle flower that never blooms. This flower is supposed to allow for fairies to come to the human world. Inconveniently this is right before Charles goes after it for an ingredient in his potion.

TV Edits of The Viewtiful Joe Anime: Episode 15
In today's episode, Joe and Junior help a team of rebels take back their kingdom, now named Black Jadowland, from Jadow themselves. Jadow, meanwhile, pose a wedding for Silvia and Alastor to lure Joe out.
The name of the episode is To Have and Hold Captive, which is likely a play on the movie To Have and Have Not, but if this episode is supposed to be based on that, it's very loose. To Have and Have Not involves France during World War 2, but this one seems to be based more on Joan of Arc, whom the resistance leader bears a resemblance to many modern depictions. I could be wrong though.
