Episode 5 contains some commentary about (quite literal) designer dogs. It is also explained that the dog character in the episode is created by stitching together pieces of abandoned dogs, with the process being briefly touched upon in a montage which is not gruesome nor graphic in any way - within which it is revealed that the patchwork dog, Quilt, contains the consciousness of the dog's creator's lab assistant. The patchwork dog's body is killed in a brief scene where it she hit with a club by attackers trying to steal her creator's gold, but this is also remarkably non-graphic - Quilt does not make any pained noises or show any distress. After her death her body is shown on a lab table, and it is explained that whilst the body is deceased, the lab assistant's consciousness survived and is able to be placed into a new body.

Mild and mostly implied drug usage in the first episode (a man smokes something using a pipe up his nose and the smoke comes out of his ears), and some alcohol usage in the later episodes.

Due to the premise of people being able to put their minds into other bodies, there is some questions about dubious consent and Bodily integrity. In episode 2, a character named Parm puts Kaiba into another body to hide him on a ship. She uses Kaiba's real body to insert a copy of her memories so she can use it for sexual pleasures.

In the final episodes, a character is forced to have their head expand extremely painfully, but the attacker purposefully makes it so they don’t die

The entire society within Kaiba is built around the idea of consciousness being stored in chips, allowing people to modify their memories and change bodies at will. Whilst it's not possession in the classic form, the main character swaps bodies several times along his travels, including into those of pre-established characters.

Once the main character, a man, is transported into a woman’s body, several characters use she/her pronouns for him. Along with episode 6, a woman who was transported into a man’s body has he/him used on her.

Whilst it is never overt and no genitals/nipples are shown, Kaiba has some definite sexual themes and nudity, such as a man in the first episode advertising prostitution, and a woman in the second episode masturbating using her memories in another body. A man also gets a b***r in the second episode, although this is not greatly detailed.
