The character Cioccolata has a reputation for torturing his victims, along with his partner Secco who records videos of the victims’ faces. The two are vaguely shown brutally torturing a gay couple early in part 5, and other grotesque examples of what Cioccolata does are listed. Also in part 5 is “the torture dance”, wherein main characters dance while another character’s retina is burned as his disembodied head is dangling from a fishing line by the eyelid. Despite how gross that sounds, it’s mainly played for comedy.

Yeah, in part 5, a character's backstory is meant to put a truly evil light on them, as they were a doctor that did things like put light doses of gas on people so they wake up during surgery, but it's censored.

Part 3 shows the penises of two babies, the cleavage of a woman, and the butt of a young girl (briefly). In the comic of part 5, a teenage girl’s areola is shown in one panel, but not in the anime. In part 6 there is a naked man’s butt shown as he showers, and the main character strips to be searched before going into prison (though only the top of her breasts and part of her butt are shown). Many characters dress somewhat immodestly but its not too bad.
