Many of the event weapons are collaberations with other (japanese) companies that mainly operate inside japan. I have no dought that capcom, being lazy, would keep the weapon designs the same but they can't. The other companies would not pay extra to have their stuff in the western release when they only operate in japan. Its got nothing to do with whether capcom think we like anime, its legal stuff.

Nintendo collab stuff will probably make it, and we have the awesome looking fan designed weapons to get. They won't delete weapons, just reskin them.
