8) Bloodstain on Sanosuke's shoulder digitally painted black.

9) Not an Edit... Blood on Sanosuke's hand and arm left in as he clenches his fist.

11) Blood digitally removed from the corner of Sanosuke's mouth.

12) Not an Edit... Blood back at the corner of Sanosuke's mouth.

Well things appeared a little indecisive in the editing department. This episode gave us blood that appears, disappears and changes color. I would have to imagine that CN's BS&P aren't quite sure how to deal with this storyline. Their current editing strategy isn't going to leave much of this story arc unless they find some way to modify it appropriately.
