Eiden and Rei's backstories both mention or heavily hint at rape and can be upsetting to read.

The Circus of Eccentricities event involves a group of child performers being exploited, abused, and experimented on at the hands of their ringmaster. Garu and Karu have a dissociative disorder that developed in response to intense physical abuse in their earlier life.

The Welcome to Elysium event’s whole story is about a drug dealing operation that also comes into relevancy in its respective character stories, but drugs are used occasionally throughout the game. Other instances mostly involve substances being smoked or taken as pills.

Mentioned in the other comment but the gameplay involves RPG/rock-paper-scissors-style combat against animals/monsters. It’s not graphic at all.
However, througout both event and main stories monsters and animals are often killed, whether it be for self-defense, hunting, or sacrificial purposes. The descriptions for such instances can get graphic.

Worth noting that it is also implied that Rei is a victim of sexual assault, hence his attitude towards sex and tendency to view his body as a thing to be “used”. This is most explicitly shown during Rusted Nation, and is a pretty upsetting read even with its ambiguity.
- A young Eiden is drugged during the Divergent Dream card story, though the intents of the perpetrators are left ambiguous. There are implications scattered throughout the game that men often tried to take advantage of him prior to the story’s events.

(Rusted Nation) We see the precursor and aftermath to Rei being raped and beaten by an uknown man when returning to his room at an inn. It’s not explicitly said what exactly happened but it’s hard to infer it any other way.

A large part of Garu and Karu’s backstory is that their gemstone (located on their neck) was forcibly and painfully removed as part of an experiment. No direct visuals of course, but it is referenced multiple times across the game and is a significant source of trauma for them both.

Billowing Wildfire Kuya’s fifth intimacy room involves Kuya strangling Eiden while they have sex in order to overwhelm his senses and make him “feel” death. He doesn’t actually intend to kill Eiden here, but it seems to be a fairly stressful experience nonetheless.

Rei’s condition causes him to have seizures. In the main story, we see this not long after he introduces himself to Eiden.

Yakumo is possessed by a ghost for a good portion of the Eerie Escapade event story. His loss of rational judgment and autonomy when he’s angry also looks a little like possession.

In Kitsune Dream's story it is heavily implied that Kuya was about to kill himself until he gets called by the Yokai Lord and is thus interrupted.

A little ambiguous, but a character in the Mirage of Scales event, Umi, sacrifices himself for the sake of an old friend, in a scene that is definitely treated with the weight of a suicide. Another line spoken by Huey implies that multiple previous clan members cut their own lives short to sever their contracts with the sorcerer.

Garu and Karu might be the only explicit case of this, but the other clan members have all led fairly traumatic lives to some degree, and in cases like Dante, Olivine, and Rei’s, the events of their past still heavily influence their present behaviors.

Aster is a vampire who loves money. Vampires began as an antisemitic trope, and of course the trope of Jewish people being money hungry.

Technically, given that some characters are far older than they look (Kuya, Quincy, and Rei especially). They all look around the same age, though, and none of the age gaps are like Actually illegal

The Church of Klein serves as a key figure through both the main and event stories. Olivine, being one of its priests, often explains its religious practices and important details from Klein’s lore to Eiden.

Blood Key and Desert of Dusk feature “essence conductors”, which are literally just guns, though they fire condensed pellets of magic as opposed to lead bullets. They are used in combat multiple times, and a few characters are shot by them.
