This image is illustrating things other than the trope, mainly Frothy Mugs of Water. It gets the censorship aspect across, but the "die" part only comes in the form of a paragraph of text, where it says "All Killed Characters are Bonked instead." Plus, the quality is rather poor. A better image would have much less text.

Your show is so bonked.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Pull it.

For a replacement, perhaps a screenshot of a legendary Pokemon fainting (such as this [1]), with a caption commenting on how they never show up again?

EDIT: I agree with pulling the current image.

That image adds nothing, pull it.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The current illustrates Frothy Mugs of Water much better than this.

That pic needs to be discarded and removed from the game.

Perhaps something from Space Cruiser Yamato (Star Blazers)? I have the English dub where they keep on insisting that the Gamilon soldiers are robots despite them looking very much alive.

They also talk about tanks which get blown up being "remote-controlled" or "robot tanks" with no apparent reason.

The disadvantage of course is that the caption would need to explain this incongruity which at least borders on JAFAAC territory.

Looking carefully at the current, I can see what its getting at with this trope, so I'm going to hold my nose and say Keep Until Better Image Suggested, but I'm ready to jump on the first better suggestion to come along.
