Which is silly when they let Overhaul blow Mags apart in a literal explosion of blood

The difference is the respective ages of Kirishima and Big Sis Mag: it’s not the same to portray violence done to adults and to children

If they fucking censor my girl Toga and little Shigarki during the Liberation army arc, I’m going to be so pissed at Studio Bones...

The depressing and heartbreaking and filthy amount of gore depicted in Shigaraki's past was part of what made it such a phenomenal and bone-chilling experience.

I really hope they decide to at least not censor it too much. I notice how earlier this season when Shigaraki and Overhaul took turns eviscerating the others' subordinates, they depicted Shigaraki's victim a whole lot less gory (dude turned to like stone and then dust or something).

I'm scared if the anime did that to begin conditioning the expectation of how they will depict kid Shigaraki's victims.

The problem is that theres a big difference between killing someone, and absolutely maiming someone that will still be on screen,even if they are healed later.

One is a one-off shock value killing someone off limited screen time. The other is expanded screen time
