I wonder what the cause for that is? Before you had shows like Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, etc being the more popular shows.

Nowadays though most of the hype is surrounding Demon Slayer, JJK, Attack on Titan, and soon to be Chainsaw Man. All of these are noticeably darker in tone and more violent overall.

Is it some sort of cultural thing going on? Its really interesting to me, but I dont know whats caused it.

you could be fooled into thinking otherwise with some of the dubs, they edit out a decent amount of gore.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

I remember pretty early on when Kakashi used genjutsu against Sakura that they had censored the illusion of Sasuke getting injured. There was also the blood falling from the sky being colored black when Gaara sandsploded that one mook with the umbrella.

Oh and Attack on Titan isn't a shonen iirc.

They definitely are, any show that centers its plot around fights will be. But the newer shows tend to be much more violent.

Some one piece watchers still don't even know that Whitebeard lost half his face at Marineford

Remember that time Ichigo got his eyes cut out or that one arrancar ripped off a female arrancar's leg while she was trying to coax him not to with sex?

Think the TC is getting at how much gore.

Those 3 are pretty tame compared to Titan. Ya gore can be found in the other 3, but it's hardly a common staple of those 3.

Nothing will match the gore of the 80's. Saint Seiya had a dude fucking exploding and you can see all of his individual organs a couple chapters in.

but not gory but I guess in Dragon Ball, you don't see blood because people are just incinerated; which is pretty violent but not as impressionable as seeing someone get stabbed to death with body parts flying everywhere.

there was always gore. they just edit it depending on the circumstances. that's like saying The Chronic had little cussing just because you got an edited one at Walmart.

More or less violent, doesn't matter. The average shounen is still fucking garbage.
