  ANIME WHICH ARE  ❎ BANNED❎  IN        DIFFERNET COUNTRIES   #3 Kinnikuman In France Kinnikuman's  story was innocent enough, however, all controversy was laid on a certain character: Brocken Jr. He is portrayed as a "good Nazi," which made a lot of people uncomfortable. To explain, he wore a Nazi uniform due to his father being a German Nazi but did not adhere to any other beliefs related to the ideology. Brocken's character got the entire show banned in France. France was definitely not the only country that was uncomfortable with Brocken Jr. though. His toy was never really brought to America with the others from the show. Furthermore, the tie-in Nintendo games often ignored Brocken. Eventually, the manga changed his design as well, with him no longer wearing swastikas. Kite In Norway This anime film features a girl who can use bullets to make people explode.
