- Verbal abuse & bullyingModerate
Bullies harass a teen character and frequent violent threats and speech are reported.

- Disrespectful behaviour & role modelsMild
Heroes act as illegal vigilantes framed as admirable; one is aggressive. Consequences are unclear.

Injecting the drug 'Trigger' and beer drinking are shown; the fights are cartoonish and fantasy-based, so little is copyable.

- Frightening & intense scenesMild
Monsters rampage through the city in action scenes described as cartoonish.
- Self-harm & suicideModerate

- Death & griefModerate
Many deaths, mostly villains or side characters; a mother is left catatonic. Sources did not mention animals.
- Alcohol, drugs & smokingModerate
The plot centers on an injected power-boosting drug, and characters drink beer and some appear drunk.
