Bear in mind, World Trigger is a children's show in Japan. It airs at 6.30 am as part of a children's block. Toei and TV Ashai are probably playing it extra safe, because controversy and kids shows do not mix.

YES but I heard a rumour that japan has banned apocalypse storys because of what happened with the tsunami which explains why HOTD manga is on hiatus..... I mean what does zombies have to do with tsunamis
ok ok I know they will show that ep with the rain and such but what about stories with apocalypse anime its unfair just to ban them just because a tsunami hit....... and yes I understand why they would do this because they don't want people to be distressed and be reminded but its a series about zombies......did HOTD have a tsunami full of zombies or what.
how long til we get to see more apocalypse anime...... more to the point HOTD
Which would explain the current airing of giant apocalypse show Attack on Titan, monster apocalypse show GOD EATER,
zombie apocalypse show School-Live!, vampire apocalypse show Seraph of the End, alien apocalypse show World Trigger, the forthcoming spin-off to World Trigger focussing on aliens, the multiple apocalypses featured in Space Dandy, the recent airing of Aldnoah.Zero which features more than one human/alien caused apocalypse. There are also several shows I've forgotten, as well as a tonne of shows which probably count, but are borderline.
Also, how does one ban apocalyptic fiction? The Mikado has a lot of power, but I doubt even he has the power to stop sci-fi...
(N.B. The Oxford Dictionaries define Apocalypse as "The complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation"or "An event involving destruction or damage on a catastrophic scale")
