ReportSynopsis
Gifted with a wide assortment of supernatural abilities ranging from telepathy to x-ray vision, Kusuo Saiki finds this so-called blessing to be nothing but a curse.

In the fourth segment of the first episode, a poisonous snake gets beaten pretty severely by a small child and later electrocuted to death before it can bite a class of high schoolers. Its not super graphic and more cartoonish than anything but could still be mildly upsetting if you have a particular fondness for snakes.

There is a character who sees ghosts and constantly tries to use his powers to creep on girls. (He mostly tries to get ghosts to tell him the color of girls’ underwear). It’s more harassment than assault but be warned.

Takahashi and his friends write a fake love letter to the gym teacher pretending to be a highschool girl wanting to meet up in person to confess. He does show up, but with the intent of turning her down because he knows it’s inappropriate

Like the other comment says, Kaido gets sick every time he’s on a plane/boat/etc.
There are regular p*king scenes, but none are l graphic in my opinion. I have emetophobia and was able to watch them all. All scenes are audio only and only last a couple seconds.
Here are some I remember: (I’ve only seen the first season and a half)
S1 E1: a character is taken to the nurses office and v*mits three times into a sink after turning the water on
S1 E12: Kaido v*s on the plane
S1 E17: while running a marathon, Kaido v*s into a bush. Only lasts 5 seconds (time stamp 20:10)
S2 E6: Kaido starts to feel seasick at 6:15 but DOESN’T V*
S2 E11: (time stamp 2:45-2:50) Kaido v*s out of a window
S3 E2: Kaido v*s while the group is on the train. It’s much grosser/longer than other scenes. There’s no visual but I would mute from 6:03-6:15

Someone attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a building but is stopped by the MC and a supporting character. The person mentioned shows up in the anime but their backstory is only explained in the manga.

To add to the other comment, I would avoid the first half of Season 1 Episode 24. That’s the episode where she tries to lose weight she gained all of a sudden.
I also know there’s a scene with her weighing herself in the bathroom in season 1 but I don’t remember which one. If you’re watching, skip the scene that opens with her in the bathroom wearing a towel.
Additionally, Chisato Mera (the brunette with pigtails and colorful hair ties) is obsessed with food and will eat anything, and she frequently steals food from others to eat herself. This is much more prominent in season 2.

Not many explicit fat jokes told outright, but the way the show depicts girls gaining weight is extremely fatphobic.
I would skip the first half of Season 1 Episode 24, which shows a skinny character gaining weight suddenly and then trying to lose it. This and other shorter segments show fatness for humor and nothing else.

In s1 ep14 One of the more prevalent characters asks another one if they’re R-slur (by eng subtitles) for dressing up/pretending to be a character from a tv show they like. ( I would like to point out that he actually used the word baka, which is usually just translated to idiot/fool ? but I’m not sure if the context is what makes it comparable. Either way just warning that it does up come if you’re watching the sub! )

Teruhashi (a teenager) is supposed to be so beautiful that pretty much everyone is attracted to her, including adults :/
there is one episode where teenagers write a fake love letter from an imaginary classmate to their teacher as a prank. the viewers are held in suspense for a couple minutes about how he reacts, but by the end it's revealed he only wanted to tell the girl that it's inappropriate and does NOT reciprocate.

Nobody is hit directly but in S2 EP8, the MC gets stuck in a time loop that involves a child getting almost hit by a truck. This scene repeats several times before the MC finds away to avoid it.

There are a few close-calls: one is comedic surprise and one is an actual life-or-death situation. No one is hurt.
