Implied during the Entertainment District Arc. Ume is selected to work in a brothel within the entertainment district where primarily lower class sex workers make a living. It’s heavily implied she’s to be a sex worker here. She is said to be so “beautiful” she can “even make adults falter.” We don’t see the attack, but we know an adult man had attacked her in a manner which provoked her to stab him with a hair pin in self defense. It’s heavily heavily implied this man was going to sexually assault this girl, who had JUST turned 13.

The only way for a demon to die is via decapitation. Nezuko kicks a demon in the head, causing it to explode in season 2. Two instances of a demon’s head graphically regenerating slowly. A woman has an excessive amount of demon blood injected into her, causing the cells in her body to violently break down into a puddle.

no, not at all, but there was a couple seconds where zenitsu thought tanjiro was dating nezuko but that was pretty much immediately taken back once he found out they were siblings. not nearing anywhere incestuous but its still something to prepare for if you're extra sensitive to stuff like that!

Zenitsu is slightly ridiculed for crying, but it’s because he cries very often and makes a lot of noise while doing so, and not because he’s a boy.

Zenitsu was homeless for a period of time during his childhood. Inosuke was raised by boars in the woods, and there are a few other characters who were implied to be homeless during their past.
