If you watch the Crunchyroll sub, they translate what Leorio calls the female prisoner into a slur. Any other subtitles and the dub use 'crossdresser.'
Palm, who is introduced in episoe 86 acts erraticly and visuals imply she is depressed.
Other characters have such twisted personalities that it would be likely they would be considered to be mentally ill from this, but the focus is largely on their actions rather than this.
A blind character has english and Japanese voice actors with no known disabilities.
A character who is only mobile with a wheelchair has english and Japanese voice actors with no known disabilities.
Many examples throughout the series. A non exhaustive list include events in episode 46, episode 50, multiple intances in episode 71 with resulting injuries which last until episode 74, episode 74, episode 93, episode 101, episode 140.
There are number of arm injuries including removal, and a whole arm injury persists from episode 131 until episode 145, though I belive does not feture in episodes 132 through to 135.
Yes, multiple places, including:
A lake features in episode 1, which is on an island. The island is later revisted. A boat traveels across a stormy sea, a body of water features as a key plot point in episodes 67 and 71. The end of episode 74 and the start of episode 75 feature a lake that is being fished from.
From episode 8 until 11 prisoners are shown shackled and coerced into fighting to try to reduce their sentences, and in episode 12 people are locked in a room for under a week whilst a timer goes down.
Gaslighting, another way of saying emotional manipulation, happened most realistically with Killua’s abusive family dynamics shown later on. Clearly many kinds of supernatural villains do this in all kinds of fantastical situations, but for many, this bit might come too close to home.
Yes. Mostly for the purpose of murder/kidnapping or protection from murder. In episode 94 an adult woman tries to stalk a child with whom she was going on dates with after another child tries to said dates.
Killua comes from a family of assassins who abuse him, which he mentions nonchalantly most times, as if it is a usual occurrence. During the Zoldyck Family arc following the Hunter Exam arc, this is explicitly seen. Killua’s sister Alluka is also mistreated by their family.
There is a hunting scene in the first season where some pigs are killed and cooked, another scene where main character non lethally catches a bird with a fishing rod, and then a scene where a bunch of dogs run for their lives before their owner gets killed.
In the first season, a hunter exam participant uses venomous snakes as a form of attack and sets up a trap involving many snakes trapping Gon, Leorio, Kurapika, and Ponzu in a cave by blocking the exit and threatening to bite.
Some scenes in hxh could definitely be triggering for SA survivors, especially childhood SA survivors. None of the child characters are explicitly sexualized to my knowledge, but a lot of the situations they are put in are not mindful of the fact that they are children. They are often in violent situations, some get tortured by villains who claim to be "excited" by it, and often have to interact with adults who secretly wish them harm. There are also certain adults who the audience is expected to trust, despite the fact that they endanger some child characters or encourage them to participate in violence. I don't mean to sound like an overly concerned pta mom, or anything, but watch out for that stuff, keep yourself safe.
in one scene in the chimera ant arc when palm is mad that gon and killua run away she is seen slitting her wrists with her nails to use her power to track them down. I’m not sure if this helps cause i’m not triggered by this but i wanted to comment anyways
In episode 5 a child is lifted by the neck and choked to unconciousness. In episode 145 a character chokes another character in a headlock, which is presented as comi
A person is mutilated by having chunks of their body eaten, but the effects of the injuries suspended so they fuction normally, do not bleed or feel pain.
(This whole explanation may contain spoilers even though I did my best to avoid them haha.)There are plenty of scenes with blood and injuries. The main protagonist is stubborn and often gets himself hurt. There is a scene where he lost about half of his arm, but he recovers quickly and keeps both arms. There is a whole arc where children are fighting adults, and while the children are usually more powerful than these adults, as they progress further it becomes more difficult for them and the main protagonist gets beat up a couple times. Also, in another arc there is quite a lot of death, both human and not. A dangerous man-eating hybrid species develops and a lot of people die due to this. In one scene a character gets their arm cut off by one of these creatures, and although it is not shown on screen, their head gets cut off and they die. (Since this is a pretty relative scene in the show, in this next part I’ll be as careful as possible when referring to characters to avoid spoilers haha.) One character becomes extremely angry over their friend’s death and uses their nen ability to grow and become as powerful as possible. They kill one of the creatures (rather brutally, though the creature doesn't have human blood) and ends up nearly dying themself. So overall, yes this show has gore.
During the Hunter Exam arc, specifically Gon’s fight with Hanzo, Hanzo breaks Gon’s arm. The actual act is not seen, but everything leading up to it is and you can hear a crack followed by Gon’s scream of pain. Bones are implied to have been broken due to the amount of damage they sustain throughout the show.
i dont think there is any medical amputation, but many characters lost limbs throughout the series .
gon loses his arm twice, but it gets reattached each time .
in a fight, hisoka loses both his arms, they are later reattached .
in the third season, two minor characters are beheaded .
kaito loses his arm and later his disembodied head is shown being held in neferpitous lap .
king meruem cuts of his own arm .
netero loses an arm and a leg .
neferpitou loses their arm and then their head shortly after during their fight with gon . this is also where gon loses an arm .
there is also a character called neon and she enjoys collecting body parts ! sometimes the body parts are shown, but its nothing terribly graphic . she is in the third season .
guy is hanged in a one off scene in season three. Not especially graphic, the actual hanging is off camera, but you can see his legs from the knee down jerking around as he tries to breathe for the last time.
One of the main antagonists is sexually attracted to the main character (Age 12). Every other character is shown to be creeped out by it, and he is clearly shown to be a bad person.
During the chimera ant arc, multiple children are killed and eaten by the ants off screen. However you do see the bloody clothes/remains of two of them.
a minor character has an attack that is an explosive fart and one of the other characters is a spider who shoots web out of his anus (and there are close ups)
When Uvogin is chained up by Kurapika, he coughs up blood a few times. It's sudden and sounds a little like throwing up. (Episode 47, starts when Kurapika starts punching him)
On of the main antagonists, Illumi, has an ability based off needles. He uses them repeatedly on other characters to torture and kill them. He also uses his needles on one of the main characters, who is a child.
Yes, there are at least 2 after major characters are incapacited and nearly killed as a result combat, including children. Surgery is not shown. Medical expenses are breifly mentioned both times as explicitly non-issues for those involved.
the two main antags have certainly shown a lot of symptoms of unwell mentalities throughout the whole show. their tactics include manipulation and etc, it’s important to mention
No, someone does have a seperate entity living within them for supernatural reasons, but this is always clearly presented as a different person rather than DID.
A character doesn't states displeasure that a choice they made makes them temporally appear pregnant.
A different character very substantially alters their apperarence to change most aspects of their appearence to be more like how they want to look, and is very keen to avoid being seen in their unaltered state.
The Chimera ant queen is constantly hungry for the first few episodes she is in and nothing can fill her up for a while this might be rough for some folks
There are repeated cases of self harm by many characters, usually to further a goal and not necessarily as an act of self-hatred. 3 of the 4 main characters use self harm as a means to an end. Gon in particular regularly puts himself in unnecessary danger, and then finally, in one of the later episodes of the series, commits an extreme act of intentional self harm that ends rather badly for him.
At times, when the camera wants to show a lot of movements during fights. Though usually everything is shown in dramatic slow motion in the anime when complicated movements happen.
The main protagonist is shown as a baby in one scene. Later in the show there is a giant ant queen who is pregnant, but when she gives birth it doesn’t really look like a baby at all.
a scene with a main character during the trick tower portions does include a couple things like this. he is enforced to touch a women to find out if shes “actually a girl” as a test, and also this same character suggests (in his head) putting kurapika in this position as well to counteract the same test, insinuating that he looks feminine.
Judas is mentioned and there are other minimal religious references, but no slander against any religions. Killua has a star of david on his yo-yo, but that is the only reference to Judaism we see. (It also looks like the nen type chart so it might not even be a star of david)
I cannot remember any instance of jokes made by characters about fat people. You may consider the anime to be making fun of fat characters for being so.
One fat character is presented in a comedic manner as being particularly gluttonous. Another is presented as lazy, though talented in a way counter his family's norms.
No, but there is an instance of a characters' english-written alias matching part of the the N-slur in English. In one instance honourifics/grammar made it sound like the N-slur to me.
I do not understand the other comment. The presence of stereotypical gay characteristics does not mean the show in insulting it. Also just because a character is flamboyant, does not mean he is gay. Gays can be very masculine, femininine or somewhere in between. That is also true for straight types also. Being feminine does not automatically make someone not straight, and it is rude to call them gay as an insult, because they aren’t and being gay isn’t a bad thing.
Alluka- heavily implied to a transgender girl- is misgendered frequently by one of her brothers, Illumi. Killua is the only person in her family to respect her identity.
Upsetting death of a black man in the third season. He doesn't die first but... the show builds up how he's this dog dad with a girlfriend and a life ahead of him... it's rough man... Could be triggering for some poc who have experienced police brutality due to the fact he's pulled over while driving.
A child main character is implied to have sex with adult women in backstory. A child main character is coerced into going on a date with a creepy 22 year old woman after making an ambitious promise and then failing to achieve it.
At the beginning of the Chimera Arc, a little girl comments on wanting to marry her brother, but it's treated as her not understanding what that means and said brother doesn't see her romantically.
There are two mass gang killings via a small number of gunmen, one of which is 100+ people. Gun violence is attempted at other points, but is largely ineffective and typically not presented as a threat.
