Xcancel doesn't work again, I posted the whole tweet here so you don't have to open twitter.

the tweet only mentions Israel, but in reality all country names were removed like the Japanese raw, only the manga has the real names

United States changed to MAG Union

USSR changed to Volgarena, this name is directly inspired by the Volga River

Israel changed to Ghorantl (or Guranto), made-up word combining “Golan Heights” with “Toru” (to seize).

Syria changed to Mesamia, inspired by Mesopotamia

The mention of Israel in the Latin Spanish dub of The Ghost in the Shell (2026) has been removed...

A few days ago, a clip from the Latin Spanish dub went viral, where Israel was mentioned directly. Fans pointed out that this version was the only one that kept this reference present in the manga, while other versions, including the Japanese one, mentioned the fictional country Ghorantl.

However, after the clip went viral, the dub would have been modified. Now, instead of mentioning Israel directly, expressions like “they” and “other nations” are used.

What do you all think?
