What is the reason behind this strange censorship of a specific scene in Tokyo Ghoul?


During the scene where Kurona and Nashiro are fighting Juzo in Season 2
Episode 4, I noticed some censorship. Juzo ends up stabbing Kurona a lot with
his knives, but it's blurred out like this:

I thought this was really strange seeing as the series has shown far worse,
such as torture and other extremely gory deaths. Is there a particular reason
for this?




The whole show was highly censored, as shown in this comparison album

The main reason is Japanese censorship laws, which are very different from
laws in the West, but some people have mentioned that S2 was airing at the
same time as some ISIS attacks took place, thus this might have something to
do with TV networks censoring knives.
