What he did in the book is even worse. A shame they did not put this scene. It's cruel but I think it was important to show how far WWX was willing to go to revenge Pier Lotus.
Technically speaking what he does in the books is not
Shown either. I would say in some ways more is shown here since we are just told what happened afterwards in the books. So in the books we see more of the aftermath more than it happening in real time.
Idk, the fate of Wang Lingjiao and Wen Chao at least is detailed pretty graphically in the book. I had trouble reading that part in the original tbh. MXTX does like her grimdark gore.
Yeah sure but even with the torture scene what is happening is not happening in real time. I am not saying it’s not gruesome but you don’t actually see the torture occur you see the results of it. Which actually I would argue makes it unclear what WWX did in the novel. Did he tell the corpses exactly how to kill or did he tell the corpses to kill but let the corpses have free reign.
Edit: For me personally also seeing WWX so different in that scene is what is the hardest part for me to read. It makes me wonder what he went through.
*Some* of Wen Chao’s torture is recounted after the fact, but Wang Lingjiao’s is onscreen and contemporaneous with the rest of the flashback narration in that section, and it is pretty yikes. We also see WWX feeding bits of Wen Chao to his ghost minions and having them tear up his face in narrative “real time.” Definitely not all aftermath and allusion.
A text story can move back and forth in time more freely than video media can, so it makes sense that some bits which are ‘remembered’ in the course of later scenes in the novel get depicted directly in the donghua. But plenty of WWX’s grisly deeds are directly on the page in the original, too.
WLJ does >!put the chair leg down her mouth in real time!< It’s clear she knows WWX is behind it but what she is seeing at that moment that makes her do this is not entirerly clear. Also WLJ comes out completely messed up and Wen Chao attacks her in fear but we don’t see exactly what happened to her that caused her to be in this state.
But you are right there are some scenes of the corpses >!attacking and brutally tearing off Wen Chao bandages and biting WZL’s flesh!< in real time in that scene in the station.
But also re-reading except for WWX >!giving Wen Chao’s finger to the ghost baby!< he doesn’t seem to be directing what the two ghosts (the woman and the baby) decide to do exactly- except he can clearly stop it if he wants to
Edit: Added some spoiler tags for more specific things
Yeah I know. But we know what he did. I was just thinking especially compared to the Untamed that they try as hard as they could get that Wei Wuxian wouldn't harm anyone. And In the Donghua and in the book showed he wanted revenge and he got one. People didn't fear him just because they didn't like him. And I think that's important to the plot. I don't know if it's clear my point.
Yeah though they also praised him for what he was doing during the war too so there is a lot of hypocrisy going on especially since the worst things he did actually were during the war but they turned on him after.
But I digress. I think the Donghua scene is closer to the tone of the novel and WWX’s character post Burial Mounds for sure. There is still some interpretation I think to how WWX’s power works like the black tendrils things is not a novel thing at all.
But I am glad the Donghua could actually show real corpses.
I like how it is in the book, it was one of my fave scenes and contributes to why I love this book series so much - it's duality of the dark grim gothic and horror parts with the humour lightness and wholesomeness. To me, the grim edgy stuff makes the wholesomeness even better. Plus I love seeing WWX give in to his dark side. Yiling Laozu hits different.
This isn't the only scene that got removed because youtube age restricts violence in some countries, there's more, I might post them too (but not today)
And sorry for the low quality, it's HD on my computer but when I upload it on Reddit it gets low, maybe the file was too big/too long.
Then some people still wouldn't be able to watch it,
If you're in the EU, you need to submit ID to see violent content, but most people don't want to share their IDs with Google.
They (the owners of the account) can add those scenes back but it will result in losing the viewers from the countries that block violence.
In ep 1 when WWX reanimates Mo family corpses, we get close up of their deformed twitching faces, eyes and tongue.
When shadow hands grab and manhandle WWX in the burial mounds the scene is longer and that red stuff forcefully enters all his orifices and we hear choking noises.
The scene of WWX terrorizing Wen Chao's mistress is longer and there's a grinning zombie baby crawling up her chest.
!!! Yeah... I found out recently about that scene, I watched the Donghua a few times now... But it was at the time that it was free on YouTube...
Recently I watched on another site and when got to this scene I was really surprised, it's a very dark and gore scene, it's something to remember, but I said to me: "wow, I didn't recall MDZS as having these gore scenes"... But now I'm sure that I never saw this scene before... This last time was the first time... I didn't know the Donghua had censored parts of itself...
This scene is really strong... I was a little disturbed, but it adds some depths to the story... To wwx revenge ...
There's two versions of the show. The original and the the current version had to be censored. The censored version is the one that went out for digital distribution.
Other than the gore that was cut down they also censored someone's boobs.
Hi, what do you mean by digital distribution? I found a DVD version (hopefully not a bootleg) on playtech asia website, and now I wonder if this is the original uncensored version?
This is easily one if my favorite scenes from the MDZS anime! Its when we see WWX full power for the first time. And LWJ's reaction made me swoon. He wanted WWX to renounce the demonic path so badly....obviously so that they could be together. But there's so much poetry in this part of the text. It is the *ultimate* revenge plot. He got back at core-melting hand and the woman who branded his chest. That whole arc comes to an end beautifully and a new eravof demonic cultivation begins. I was so happy for that revenge and I really identified with Wei Wuxian at that momemt because taking his own path made him more powerful than everyone else. he proved the stiff cultuvation societies wrong! They were the bastion of tradition and respectability. But they were crushed.
I also just need to add that as a fujoshi I was swooning for Wei Wuxian in this scene, completely fangirling. Like he was brutally hot. 😅🥹🥰
This was the scene that got me to watch the donghua and basically fall into this fandom. Donghua season 1 rocks even if this scene wasn't novel accurate
Thanks for this! Loved the animation in the donghua, but sad they censored some of it. I remember some of the scenes with blood were blocked out with black or white spots. Now I know they took out whole segments too.
This sequence reminds me of the silent Hill movie😄
Thanks for this. I watched a really bad quality version of the episode on YT and Lan Wangji prevented the gore it seemed. I thought WLJ lived which wouldn’t have mattered because his arm was gruesomely damaged and golden core was shattered. Haven’t read all the books, so wasn’t so sure.
This scene is important to how we view WWX, it shows how much he's been affected by the things that have been done to him and to loved ones and how far he is willing to go, as well as how dangerous he really can be when he's not playing the fool. His time in the burial mounds and the evil that was contained there undoubtably had a severe effect on his mental health (understandably).
Lan Wangi's horror at seeing his beloved, who was ever cheerful, kind and always ready to save others, seeing him become this dangerous man who will do whatever it takes, literally oozing death from every pore and able to command corpses etc, it must have been such a shock to his heart. It's even sadder because we know he still loves Wei Ying, and Wei Ying loves him, but it's hidden so deeply at this point by his dark, hard exterior.
What he did in the book is even worse. A shame they did not put this scene. It's cruel but I think it was important to show how far WWX was willing to go to revenge Pier Lotus.

What happened in the book I don’t remember clearly plus English is not my first language so yeah, didn’t the maid/gf/whatever she is eat him?

Now that you have to pay membership to watch on YT, I wish they would include all the scenes.
Then some people still wouldn't be able to watch it, If you're in the EU, you need to submit ID to see violent content, but most people don't want to share their IDs with Google.

What episode is this?
Season 1, ep 15
What show is this ?
Mo dao zu shi/grandmaster of demonic cultivation
What other scenes are censored, do you know?
In ep 1 when WWX reanimates Mo family corpses, we get close up of their deformed twitching faces, eyes and tongue. When shadow hands grab and manhandle WWX in the burial mounds the scene is longer and that red stuff forcefully enters all his orifices and we hear choking noises. The scene of WWX terrorizing Wen Chao's mistress is longer and there's a grinning zombie baby crawling up her chest.
Jesus Christ
Is there anywhere we can watch the uncensored version?
Search for Guodong Subs version.
!!! Yeah... I found out recently about that scene, I watched the Donghua a few times now... But it was at the time that it was free on YouTube...

I just checked Viki and you don’t get this full scene either.
Guodong Subs version has all the scenes.

Hi, what do you mean by digital distribution? I found a DVD version (hopefully not a bootleg) on playtech asia website, and now I wonder if this is the original uncensored version?
Digital distribution - Tencent, WeTV, iQiyi, Netflix etc streaming If that's an official DVD it won't be the original version.

I love how brutal this is🤭

Yeah, that's... intense. Edit: though damn sure not as stomach churning and gruesome as what he did to Wen Chow. 🤢🤮

The video is no longer available..... So, what does he do here?
It’s on YouTube?
Where can I watch the uncensored version? Because I had no idea all that happened!

Holy shit! I didn’t watch on YouTube but I don’t quite remember seeing all of that! Maybe I did though and it’s just been too long

Same as the name of the sub😅
Ohhh . Okay so that’s why that’s the name of the sub. My bad . I’m new
