Wait hold on I just noticed something really funny.

I'm sure we all remember the incredibly gay moment of Domi quoting her father at Jeanne to talk about "enjoying her beauty:"

But! I just realized that this line was changed a bit from the real de Sade quote. The real life version that's usually quoted is this: "Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are subordinate but in which they all unite." To be really reductive, it's essentially saying "everything is about sex."

Which like. This line as written was already a lot. But so long as there was no translation weirdness, we can assume that Mochijun picked this line out for this scene based on the "sexual pleasure" version. Hello lesbians.

#I took a look at the japanese version of this scene #and as far as I can tell 'acts of pleasure' is the accurate translation of the vnc version #so I assume this was a deliberate censorship choice on mochijun's part. which. fair #can't just come out and say the word in your shonen series #also now that I'm really looking at it. I can feel an essay brewing about this quote in the context of vnc #there's some v v interesting thematic relevance going on there #both with the original and the altered version #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #english major hours #domijeanne #domijeanne tag
