Yoshiki realizes that the last words he heard from the original Hikaru before he died were impersonating a teacher. There's multiple instances, as well, where Yoshiki temporarily leaves "Hikaru" at the end of the day without saying goodbye, but ultimately returns to him.

There is a scene pretty early on in the show which can be viewed as an allegory for rape or sexual assault, where a character is held down against his will and begs to be let go.

There's a mention in the background of Episode 8 that one of their friends broke his arm during a practice, though you don't see it on screen. More notably, Episode 7 has "Hikaru" breaking off a piece of bone from inside of himself. This is shot in a surreal way from inside his own body, and it is specifically the bottommost part of his sternum.

Towards the very end of Episode 7, it seems like Yoshiki briefly loses consciousness when encountering an anomaly that Hikaru cannot dispose of in a diner.

A key part of the plot is "impurities", which are essentially ghosts, being seen more frequently around the village and how it impacts people's everyday lives. They're represented in various ways, but most have some special attention paid to their heads which are depicted in unsettling ways.

In S1 E3 early in the episode after Yoshiki brings watermelon to "Hikaru", once "Hikaru" goes back to sleep and Yoshiki begins to spiral, at the end of that sequence he either spits or vomits onto the camera. It's a little unclear which it is.

In Episode 8, a person with a knife slits his own throat while allegedly posessed by an impurity. This occurs while Yoshiki, Hikaru, and Asako are at school after Yoshiki looks at his phone under his desk.

When Hikaru absorbs other anomalies (episodes 2 and 5, notably) there is a loud gunshot-like noise. This is among other horror "zinger" noises throughout the show.

Not slurs necessarily, but there is reference to a character being disowned and outcasted for being gay, though this is not portrayed in a positive light.

While there is no sex some scenes have some undertones, I can’t tell if it’s intentional or not.

No, but a character in season one does have a close call with one. In episode 6, a child nearly runs out into the street in front of a car, but is saved by her friend warning her that it's coming.
