Censorship

Censored TV Airing

Even though the scene doesn't depict anything explicit, its initial TV running had floating bottles of Shampoo and Conditioner placed to cover up Blair's cleavage and buttocks during the moment she was scrubbing her back while shaking her butt. The bottles were removed on the DVD releases of the episode.

Manga Differences

Main article: Soul Eater/Prologue Chapter 1

This episode was an adaptation of the first prologue chapter of the Soul Eater manga. The manga version of the chapter is much shorter and ended on a scene of Blair naked outside of the bathtub holding Soul under her breasts which was different in the anime version where instead she jumps out of the tub and is magically fully clothed before she blasts both Maka and Soul out of her house. The anime adaptation confirms that the tub Blair bathes in is a Clawfoot Bathtub as the bottom of the tub was unspecified in the manga. At the beginning of the bath scene, Blair is stretching her leg out to get scrubbed by Brush-san in the manga version but the anime made it so she is folding her leg instead. The Rubber Duck was outside of the bathtub in the manga but was in the tub with her in the anime.
