Saturated in hip hop culture comes the birth of a new movement known as "Phantom Live." Each of the artists have a metal accessory known as "Phantom Metal" which chemically reacts to the wearer's emotions to produce an image, setting a magnificent stage for enthusiastic youths.

During 12:50-16:47, there's an onsen scene, a scene in a sauna, and a ping-pong battle where a character's chest is slightly visible. In the previous two scenes, towels and the water are covering their lower bodies

There's no scenes, but Ryu's character is the result of being at one and Kanata and Nayuta mention having been at one at 7:20-7:26 in episode 2. Unskippable if you don't like Ryu's character archetype

Nayuta is an illusion unknowingly produced by Kanata for the almost the entire series. Allen and Anne dive into Hajun's mind to the memory of his trauma to save him from dying in episode 8. Both are unskippable

Heavily talked about in this episode, but nothing is ever shown. It's implied that Nayuta's "ghost" lives in the building where he jumped, but Nayuta never died despite Shiki thinking he did

Chisei is confirmed to be dead at the beginning of the 1st episode and is the catalyst behind the evil scientist's plan. Nayuta is assumed to be dead but is actually alive. All of the rest of the characters have had a close call with death during episodes 8 and 11-12. None of them are skippable

Kanata and Nayuta were as children, and it's only briefly mentioned at 7:20-7:26 that can be skipped. Hajun, however, was disowned, and it gets a considerable amount of screentime in comparison, which is unskippable

I wouldn't exactly call it "bullying", but Kanata (nearly) gets beaten by the same two people in the slums. Only a little is shown in 6:17-6:24 of episode 2, and briefly shown when Hokusai, Reo, and Satsuki stop it at 4:17-5:36 of episode 5

Food insecurity. Kanata and Nayuta struggle to eat due to low income and consistently eat from one restaurant. If you don't like themes of that in particular, skip 6:30-7:20 of episode 2

Trap reactions are officially described in the series as being able to "break a user's mind in an instant" and "lose their sense of self". They're also arguably akin to PTSD flashbacks. This happens frequently within the series

Allen, Hajun, Anne (BAE), Kanata, and Nayuta (cozmez) were all abused as children. BAE's trauma in particular revolves around it and episode 4 reveals the circumstances of their abuse explicitly. Unskippable if you can't handle non-explicit descriptions. If you can, skip 0:00-1:00 of episode 2 and 10:26-19:00 of episode 4. cozmez briefly mentions their parents at 7:20-7:26 of episode 2
