The UK version had a 30 second rape scene cut to bring it down to a PG certificate. The UK DVD and Blu-Ray released in April 2015 restored the aforementioned rape scene, and was rated 15 accordingly.
A version called "Star Quest" was released on February 19, 1987 and was edited and dubbed into English.
The DVD release contains a deleted scene featuring Shiro and one of his friends talking about a bottled drink he likes.
