There are a few episodes where it is suggested that an older man is interested in a girl who could be his daughter, but it is made extremely clear that it is an honest misunderstanding and there is no romantic interest for either character

There are some potential body horror elements in the Nice arc- mainly the focus on being physically transformed into someone else against your will. Episode 16 has a more explicit case of body horror with Ghostblade fighting someone who's been experimented on and regrows limbs after they've been cut off/is now made of an alien substance, and a dream sequence in Episode 22 contains a character having their body distorted and bones broken.

There are two instances that might count as this- Episode 3 has a flashback where a speedster villain crashes into someone and explodes, however the blood is stylized/more resembles pink jelly and the scene is played as a dark joke. Episode 20 contains a scene where someone is killed via being beaten with a crowbar, and the scene goes on much longer/is more violent than most of the show.

A few of the more morally grey heroes (mainly Ghostblade and Dragon Boy) are implied to have mental illnesses, as well as Nice canonically having OCD. They have moments where they’re violent, but it's never implied to be directly related to their mental illness.

The show has a gimmick where the style changes somewhat frequently, shifting to a brightly saturated 2D style. The last episode of the E-Soul arc also features two characters with lightning powers battling and flashes resulting from it, and the Loli arc features a villain who wears a disco-ball helmet that flashes colors.
