That was on TV, and Japan's animation has always been another story, but the Batman comics of the time could be pretty grizzly as well. I remember loving Scarface in BTAS, then going to see his first appearance in the comics and it's super fucked up, he orders one of Ventriloquist's best friends killed and uses his corpse to smuggle drugs, and an old man is burnt to death by some junkies in the same issue. There was no way in hell they were gonna put that on TV.
>Saint Seiya
But now that you mention Saint Seiya, funnily, I had read the manga when I was a kid, and I remember laughing when I saw how the anime censored Ikki brutally dismembering the Wolf Knight with his ilusion powers. And I knew it wasn't like a 4kids thing, because I was watching it in Japanese. I guess some things are too extreme even for anime lmao but I sure felt like a badass looking at those violent comics as a kid.
