Part 3/9:
When the game was slated for release outside Japan—specifically on platforms like Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4—the boss was noticeably altered. North American versions of the game, according to reports from Sensor Gaming, received a censored version that either blurred or modified this particular boss model to remove its phallic shape. The change was confirmed alongside the release of the game's Stage Pass Volume 2 DLC, which included seven new stages, with the final boss in one stage being altered for the Western audience.
