why were shinigami localized as “soul reapers” in Bleach’s western release but kept their original name in Death Note’s western release?
Because "soul reaper" is a cringy censorship by Shiz to avoid using words "death" and "god".Death Note wasn't a big international mega hit series so nobody cared about that shit there.
>>282802739>Death Note wasn't a big international mega hityes it was and it was also done by Viz lul
>>282802833>yes it wasWhere is Death Note?
>>282802910Anon, are you aware that you are comparing a 12-volume manga with others that have +25, +40, and even +100 volumes?
>>282802661Cuz gringos are dumb, that's why
>>282802661Maybe different people translated them
>>282802910Death Note is a shorter series and likely had less copies printed
They actually oversee death in Death NoteIn Bleach it's a job occupation where handling souls and death is a minor aspect, most souls can cross over to the other side on their own
