** The Japanese anime also did this occasionally, with respect to the manga. When Luffy gets hit by Jango's chakram, it originally goes straight [[No One Could Survive That|into the back of his head]]; the anime changes this into a [[Cutlass Between the Teeth|mouth catch]] that slightly cuts the corners of his lips. Bellemere is {{spoiler|shot ''through the head''}} in the manga, while the anime just has her {{spoiler|shot, period}}. There are various other incidences as well, though they're relatively minor. |

*** ... Except for one: According to the anime guide ''One Piece RAINBOW'', Sanji is 20. [[Word of God]] in the manga states unequivocally that he's 19, and none of the characters are getting any older. This may have to do with Japanese broadcast TV standards, which allow ''adults'' to be shown smoking ("adults" being defined as anyone age 20 or over), but not minors. |

** Another instance in the anime. During Sanji's fight with Absalom, Absalom stabs him in the back with a knife, and Sanji manages to locate him thanks to him stepping in a pool of his blood. However, thanks to the [[wikipedia:Akihabara massacre|Akihabara Massacre]] about a week prior, [[Too Soon|the knife and blood was hastily edited out in the anime]], resulting in Sanji apparently getting hit with a normal blow and locating Absalom without help. Foreign broadcasts, and presumably the DVDs, remain unedited. |

** There were two major bowdlerizations done in the Marineford Arc: {{spoiler|when Ace was given the killing blow from Akainu, the carnage done to his torso was heavily reduced to a blank hole and much less blood. Also, most importantly, while Whitebeard got half of his face blown off from one of Akainu's attacks in the manga, the anime changed it to losing half of his moustache.}} Understandably, if the anime kept this gorey detail in, it would definitely change the rating closer to those of more darker anime. |
