All Japanese voice lines were removed in the Asian (Non-Japanese) versions of the Capcom-developed JoJo fighter and it's Heritage For the Future update, leaving behind only the noises and the "Engrish".

The reasoning behind this was that South Korea along with the rest of Asia were really pissed at Japan post-ww2 after their brutal treatment under the empire. As such, Korea banned all Japanese imports all the way until around the 1990's in order to preserve South Korea's "national identity" that was heavily censored while annexed by Japan. As a result, anything inherently Japanese was removed from all media. This still continues even today as it is currently illegal to broadcast Japanese music and television dramas on South Korean television.
