A child is shown to have extremely negligent parents. In season 3 episode 10 an otherwise negligent father physically harms his son—it’s mostly accidental but may be upsetting to some viewers.

A plot line throughout the seasons is that one of the main protagonists was in the military and went through extremely harsh private training, including borderline verbal abuse, with his officer at war, who (SPOILERS!) he later fights and kills. We see this happen through flashbacks. Later this character opens a karate studio and teaches his students in a similar harsh way, using verbal and some physical abuse as tactics.

Not quite a shower scene, but Samantha and Robby train in a Koi Pond in which they both fall a couple of times. Its not really sexual or anything like that, but they are shown to have romantic feelings for eachother down the line.

In season 4 right when they begin practicing at Miyagi-Do, a character says he's going to b*** and he did. It is shown. I don't have the time stamp. Just listen for the queue and have someone skip for you

Season 5 comments below are accurate. Only one I see missing is Johnny says he thinks he's going to be sick (he might use anteiggwring word i don't remember, as an emetophobe the word didn't trigger me,, just the unknown of if he was actually going to be sick) in episode 3 when Carmen and him are at the drug store. Nothing happens but just a warning. I love this site! So helpful!

We don't actually see the poop, but someone poops their pants on screen. When you see someone desperately trying to get into the porta potty, it's about to happen.
