ok, im a huge .hack fan and i have watched all of sign(plus the bonus episodes intermezzo and unison) and all of dusk, plus i have played and beaten all four games. but heres something i dont understand. i was watching dot hack gift on the fourth volume of liminalty that came along with .hack//QUARANTINE and on one of the scenes, Tsukasa and Mimiru are discussing where the hot spring could be by going down the list of keywords that start with G (first keyword), F (second keyword), and T (third keyword). But on one of them, Mimiru's last keyword is bleeped/censored audio-wise and the word is blurred so you can't read it. Does anyone have the answer on why thats censored and what may be that final keyword?

I'll take a look at that and try and figure it out. It's been a while since I watched gift.

It was censored in the original Japanese, mind you.

any reason or theory why it may have been censored? was the word offensive, or any other reason?

Gift doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so it could have no reason at all.

I don't think it had any purpose other than a comedic one.

I agree with Ardo. I think they censored it just to be amusing. If they wanted to be that careful they wouldn't have  Helba running around practically nude now would they? ^^;;

I'm not sure how relevant this is, as kanji compounds can have meanings unrelated to their component characters, but the visible character (屠) means "slaughter".
