Violence & Gore
-
- Multiple scenes of strong bloody violence, including sequences of brutality, torture, sadism, and murder. Copious amounts of bloodspray throughout, with some moderately strong gore.

- One of the main characters is a major sadist who provides abundant violence.
- A girl and a woman fight brutally. The woman starts to strangle the girl, but the latter frees herself by cutting the woman's stomach with a piece of glass. She afterwards beats her to death with a steel pipe. Her mangled, disfigured face, with missing teeth and copious blood loss, is seen briefly but graphically. The woman is then chopped up and hidden in a fridge.
- In a low-light situation, two girls are beaten to death by a boy with a baseball bat. Their mangled bodies are briefly displayed onscreen.

- Multiple scenes of near-death choking.
- A girl stabs a boy in the stomach. Blood begins to seep through his shirt. He doesn't die.
- A man has an axe impaled in their head by a girl. The top of their head splits up a little (graphic). His body is buried gruesomely.

Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Satoko can be seen naked, but nothing graphic.

Violence & Gore
