What's in it, topic by topic

Sexual & romantic

NudityModerate
Nude figures appear in every opening and in a few scenes (two women making out), but private parts are always obscured.
Sources: imdb.com
Sexual contentSevere
Common Sense reports on-screen sex and sex talk; the Tenzen tried to use a little girl sexually (sexual assault), though an early review saw none.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, imdb.com, epicstream.com
Sexualised imagerySevere
Most adult women are scantily dressed with cleavage throughout and use seduction as a recurring tactic.
Sources: imdb.com, epicstream.com
Kissing & romanceMild
Gabimaru's love for his wife drives the story, with flashback teasing and kisses; the Sagiri bond is explicitly non-romantic.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, tvtropes.org, soapcentral.com

Language & behaviour

ProfanityMild
Sparing use of 'shit', 'ass' and 'bitch'; sources agree cursing is rare.
Sources: imdb.com, commonsensemedia.org, storyscanner.app
Vulgarity & crude humourNo info
We couldn't find enough about this topic yet.
Verbal abuse & bullyingModerate
Genji and other Asaemon repeatedly demean Sagiri over her gender; hostility recurs through her arc.
Sources: animerants.net, cbr.com
Discrimination & hateModerate
Recurring sexism toward Sagiri is a major subplot, and the story challenges it; a minor note on inherited sins.
Sources: cbr.com, theconartistsblog.com, animeuknews.net
Disrespectful behaviour & role modelsMild
Sexist behavior is challenged and corrected in-story; no sources show glamorized defiance.
Sources: animerants.net
Dangerous imitable actsNo info

Violence & intensity

Violence & goreSevere
Constant graphic gore: dismemberment, torture, executions, intestines spilling out and heavy blood.
Sources: imdb.com, commonsensemedia.org
Frightening & intense scenesSevere
Nightmarish monsters, body horror and visceral fights throughout; IMDb rates intensity Severe.
Sources: imdb.com, themontclarion.org, storyscanner.app
Self-harm & suicideMild
Gabimaru early on says he wants to die, though it was a front; the knife-duel 'hurt themselves' line is combat.
Sources: fictionhorizon.com, commonsensemedia.org
Death & griefModerate
Death is pervasive and any character can die; Gabimaru grieves, and his parents' killing is backstory. Sources did not mention animals.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, tvtropes.org
Alcohol, drugs & smokingMild
IMDb rates alcohol, drugs and smoking None, listing only unspecified alcohol use.
Sources: imdb.com
