Trivia

 * In the broadcast version of the anime, this sequence was changed due to the resemblance with the still recent Akihabara massacre, in which a man fatally stabbed at least 12 people with a dagger. Instead of stabbing Sanji in the back, it was shown in the anime that Absalom landed a hit on Sanji so strong that it threw the chef off balance and drop Nami. Also instead of stepping in a pool of blood, it was merely shown that Absalom's location was given away when he stepped too near the chef. In the Japanese DVD however, this was left uncut.


 * When Sanji removes the knife from his back the knife was covered with blood, but when he throws it away it was seen clear.
 * In the final attack, Absalom spit blood from his mouth, in the TV version, the blood is removed.
