I was definitely surprised by the level of violence in it, especially now that everybody is afraid for their children to see death. I remember watching the early English dubs of Dragon Ball Z where an entire city would be destroyed, but they'd say something like "Good thing the city was evacuated" or a character would die, and they'd say "He was sent to another dimension".
The show doesn't show their death in great detail, but you know they didn't make it.
