Insta-Bandage

Da da da-da-da!

Someone gets beaten up or injured real badly, but then in the next scene, they're seen in bandages. No one knows how these bandages were applied so quickly after the injury, but they just are. Insta-Bandage is not only a means to show how hurt someone got in a fight or accident, it also functions as censorship to protect the viewers from the sight of disgusting bruises, cuts, and bleeding on their favorite cartoon characters. Insta-Bandage is exclusive to animation.

Insta-Bandage is obviously related and similar to Next-Cut Healing. Insta-Bandage can even be played alongside Next-Cut Healing.
