I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

Dragon Ball has a scene in one of the earlier episodes where Goku gets desperate and confused when he finds out Bulma doesn't have balls. In Brazil, the panty removing scene was cut, but him screaming and waking up Bulma was kept, with the chatter being fully nonsensical "I was hungry and looking for food!"

I also remember seeing that a country, I think Thailand?, censors even male pectorals, so a lot of DBZ fights had big blurs over the characters.

This and the Bulma flashing Roshi scene is partially censored in almost every recut afaik. even on some DVD sets.
