_Dragon Ball_ , _One Piece_ , _Bleach_ , and _Naruto_ all have blood. Why
doesn't _Fairy Tail_ have it?

question
fairy-tail
Why does the Fairy Tail anime have no blood?


The reason for this is **censorship**. Fairy Tail has a 'PG-13' age rating;
most shows with this rating do not show gore.

Another example of something they censored would be that in the manga, [Gray
Fullbuster](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Gray_Fullbuster) is a smoker. They
took this out in the anime because they were afraid it might influence
children to think that smoking is cool.

This can be seen in **Chapter 4, Page 20** and **Chapter 10, Page 6-7**.

_On a side note, the first OVA ( "Welcome To Fairy Hills!") is the only
episode I know of that shows blood before Fairy Tail 2014._
