I suppose showing organs is where its too much? Toriko vs Starjun fight comes to mind. That was very violent in general, especially for a battle shonen. I suppose both CSM & Toriko pushes it quite often in terms of "recent" years.
The weird thing is that, even with the copious amounts of blood, the fights in Toriko never felt that violent, to me at least, due to how over-the-top powerful everyone was. Kimetsu and Jujutsu feel more violent IMO because there's a palpable sense that the characters are in genuine physical danger.
CSM is higher.,,

Regardless of the danger &/or if they regenerate afterwards, its still violence. Kimetsu/CSM has moments where the characters regenerate, it still doesnt take away from the violence. Id say Toriko is definitely more violent than Kimetsu and prob JJK (of what little Ive read of it).
I think the difference is that they're by themselves, vs. seeing them on the (human) body they belong to.
That chapter was censored for every official release, it wasn't only a Viz thing. The WSJ version, Tankobon version, and even the Jump Colored Comics version of that specific chapter are censored.I think the difference is that they're by themselves, vs. seeing them on the (human) body they belong to.
And then you have stuff like this, where I guess Viz had to censor (or keep the censor? Not sure if they were in the magazine release) to keep that T+ rating.
More violent than KnY that's for sure. KnY isnt as violent as CSM. CSM is the most violent title in the magazine since the 2000s at least.
Gah. I'd forgotten about that.
North Star is kind of an odd duck in a lot of ways compared to later Jump manga. That's not a bad thing (I actually feel the series is fasinating if looked at akin to a religious parable), but it definetely stands out when you look at the timeline of how battle manga developed.
I sometimes wonder how audiences of Jump at the time took JoJo in general. It would've...stood out, to say the least.
I remembered finding it really ridiculous and somewhat hilarious.
It wasn't so much the imagery itself, but the attached dialogue. It's been a while since I read it, but it was something about the mother stating that she'd never harm her child, then Dio turns her into a vampire, and moments later that motherly instinct to protect your child is gone.
only abyss rage left
