** The death is bloodless or only shows minimal blood (whether because of outright BloodlessCarnage or the cause of death doesn't involve visible injuries; e.g. poisoning) but it's still rather intense and disturbing for a kids' show.
** Emperor Evulz is KilledOffscreen or his death is given some sort of DiscretionShot, but the implications of it are surprisingly horrifying.



* '''Subverted''': The show has a graphic injury, but Emperor Evulz survives.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A family-friendly work has a surprisingly graphic/disturbing death. Often a cause for "WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids".
* '''Straight''': The show "The Adventures of Hiro" is a TV-Y7 cartoon, but the death of BigBad Emperor Evulz in the GrandFinale is surprisingly disturbing.
* '''Exaggerated''': "The Adventures of Hiro" is rated TV-Y and usually has very little violence, and the death of Emperor Evulz features so much {{Gorn}} that it wouldn't be too out of place in a TV-MA series.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Emperor Evulz's death scene is only slightly too graphic/disturbing for an otherwise child-friendly work.
** "The Adventures of Hiro" isn't actually a kids' show, but is rated TV-PG or TV-14 and features a death that's rather disturbing for that rating.
* '''Justified''': ???
* '''Inverted''': "The Adventures of Hiro" is a TV-MA show loaded with graphic violence and deaths, but for some reason someone has a very non-graphic and actually quite hilarious death at one point.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': A death this violent happens in the work, but NeverSayDie is still explicitly in effect; [[TheLancer Lance]] says "I can't believe Evulz di-", only for Hiro to correct him.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''':
** Nobody dies.
** The work is aimed at an adult audience anyway.
** Any deaths are kept appropriate for the target audience.
