the Japanese version that was released overseas... i heard that within Japan itself, they DID keep that line

Are you saying the original version has a line that was cut in American versions - even the dub audio - or that this was redistributed back to Japan with the line cut? It should be pretty easy to confirm either way.

Edit: Best I can tell, the streaming version was also cut in Japan. Here's a video of a Japanese person reviewing the episode, and he says not only was that line cut but also a line before about the guy's erection.

However based on this tiktok video, it looks like the TV version was not cut. Commenters on another post were hopeful for the blurays.
