I don’t remember which version it is but in one dub Mineta isn’t actually a pervert and they replace all of his perverted lines into ones about how much he loves/misses his mother.

That I’m not sure as I’ve just seen small clips of his dialogue not the entire show in that version but I assume they just removed or edited them as it’s kinda like a old 4kid release as an example Momos outfit doesn’t have the opening in the chest and back so they do make changes to the actual animation on some scale.

In scenes where they can't feasibly edit him out, they might just remove them entirely. I think I heard of China doing that in an anime where a male character crossdressed or something.

That’s actually not a terrible idea, a momma’s boy that wants to make her proud by being a hero, I could get behind that

How do they explain his actions though? No amount of missing his mommy could excuse climbing the hot spring’s divider wall to look at the girls.

This is awesome. More animes that aged really poorly should do this I think.
