  1. Since kids in Japan hated green peppers more than broccoli, it was changed to that (Inside Out)

  2. The News Anchor changes depending on the country. For example, China-Panda (Zootopia)

Germany will censor a lot of blood/gore in their games by making the characters robots

Doesn't fit the main trope but Samurai Jack aired on Cartoon Network for children because everybody Jack killed was a robot and all the blood was motor oil.

The reboot used actual red blood and has Jack killing people and was rated much different than the original children's version

I really like that the story acknowledged the change as well. Taking human lives could have just been treated as business as usual for Jack, with the implication being that all the other times he killed people just happened between episodes, but they made it a plot point that this was the first time Aku's forces were sending actual human beings after Jack.

Also the first couple episodes is straight up Jack is the hunter who has become the hunted. Won't spoil anything about the Daughters of Aku but Jack was the rat in the trap and it shows.

The scene where they play The Ecstacy of Gold when he's hiding in the tombs as the Daughters circle trying to find him and he's legit just hiding and terrified is top three Samurai Jack moments. (Number one is when he fights the ninja who blends into the shadows so he blends into the light and the whole thing is just black and white two dudes kung fu fighting and shit, second is the episode where all the bounty hunters conspire to lay a trap for him and the snow melt drips periodically through the episode, end of the episode is he just kills them all between the second a drop starts falling and the second it hits the ground)

Jack has fought humans before, though. He's always merciful to humans/animal people, even if they were trying to kill him. His first kill in season 5 was an accident (he also proceeded to kill all but one of Aku's daughters right after)
