@Surana Hey, just look at Steven Universe. It's a kids' cartoon on Cartoon Network, and it features a lot of fight scenes where the characters end up bruised, and Steven once even got a black eye.

They get away with all sorts of violence with the gems (aliens who are basically just gemstones that control projected mannequins to walk around). Pearl once got stabbed all the way through with a sword, but it was okay because there was no blood, and she poofed into a puff of smoke and receded into her pearl. Garnet got stabbed with a special knife that forces gems to recede into their gemstones, and she dramatically fell over, literally breaking into pieces, looked sadly at Steven as she split vertically in half, and then poof. But hey, no blood or gore, so it's perfectly fine to show to kids.
