there are several instances of graphic rape. please refrain from reading this serious if rape is a serious trigger for you. not only are adults raped, but a child is raped as well. it is not romanticized, and is depicted as disgusting, however.

relitively early on a majot character gets the tendons in his hands and feet all severed to prevent escape from torture and it spesifically shows the ragged and poorly healed wounds on his achilles tendons and his wrists to demonstrate this
edit: this is not the only time this type of injury occurs, but it is iirc the most spesific and lingered on

There are many portrayals of mental illness in Berserk. Mostly PTSD, but they are not portrayed as being violent due to their mental illness. Some (not all; see: Farnese later in the story) characters are violent, but the rest of the world is just as violent if not moreso than them.
