Guardian on YouTube edited - List of cut scenes

[cyberbrain]

Earlier, naye shared shizuning's find that the Youtube version of Guardian has now been edited.

Curious and with nothing better to do, I decided to find out which scenes were cut.

What I found was this:

Episode #	Original duration	New duration	Cut start	Cut end	Total time cut
20	45:38	44:20	36:11	37:30	01:19
22	44:03	43:27	24:46	25:23	00:37
23	44:34	42:48	09:13	10:58	01:45
32	44:14	43:25	26:19	27:08	00:49
35	43:53	43:22	37:49	38:20	00:31
37	44:49	44:00	07:05	07:53	00:48

Warning: spoilers below.

Episode 20



In the park, Zhao Yunlan and Zhu Hong confront Ye Zun and Ya Qing. They talk about Ye Zun's motive and eating habits. Ya Qing throws a dart at Zhu Hong.



Episode 22



Sha Ya walks into the lab to steal and knocks out Professor Zhou.



Episode 23



Shen Wei talks to Ye Zun in the pillar, while Da Qing spies on him.



Episode 32



Chu Shuzhi talks to Ye Zun, accuses him of taking his brother's puppet.



Episode 35



Ye Zun calls Dixingren in the palace to rise up against Haixing. Shen Wei looks shocked/horrified upon hearing of this.



Episode 37



Zhao Yunlan remembers seeing the Guardian Lantern in Old Haixing and remembers he'd put it away when doing renovations after becoming SID chief. The SID members go to the second floor and arrive in front of the boxes that have been keeping the Lantern.



Update: I went to leave comments about this on YouTube and found a translator's note in the subs on episode 32, saying they were re-synced on May 24, 2020. Starting "two months ago," lots of complaints about unsynced subs have been made on episode 23.

Yeah. The way I see it, Ye Zun vs Haixing is much closer to a depiction of an oppressed minority rebelling against the governing body oppressing them than anything the bartender does. His is much more people going against the villain, who is pretending to be the government, than people rising up against a government they dislike. Too close to current world events, I guess.
