Would have Nicktoons allowed Blood if not for 4Kids?

This is a nice question that will keep us wondering: Would have Nicktoons allowed Blood on their channel had the secondary deal with 4kids not happened?

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

Didn’t the censorship for the Nicktoons episodes get more severe as time went on? The Toonzai broadcast could definitely have factored into that.

DBZ on Toonami didn't have blood and it aired after schools. Also, I don't think 4kids had anything to do with Kai outside of airing on their network block.

It had blood but only when it could pass for red scratches. Any blood that moved or was excessive was censored out.

I don’t think it did either. Sounds like it was edited for Nicktoons BS&P first and then later edited to the CW’s guidelines.
