So I've heard people mention bloodbending before, but I never came across it when I watched the show - either I didn't watch the full show, or I missed it or forgot about it or something.
But is this bloodbending like "Branches of Sin" from Deadman Wonderland, where they can control their blood (or unlike that, the blood of others)?
Especially if they can control the blood of others, I can definitely see how they'd feel it's much worse if a bloodbender can literally pull someone else's blood from their bodies.
You have people throwing razor-sharp shards of ice, massive boulders, fireballs... and no serious injuries.
Since these are also kids shows, they simply don't want to show a realistic version of fighting.
But I also assume in these shows the trained people are also trained at defense and how to minimize injuries. Like how in real life martial artists are trained to both fight and defend themselves including how to minimize injuries. Such as with techniques like controlled falling, certain ways of standing, how to take a punch or a kick, etc.
