The characters take part in games to survive, but don't know that the games are recorded by cameras, which are operated by people that watch and bet on those games

s1e6: *attempted* rape scene, 30:00 - 33:30. unfortunately, after this it keeps cutting back to the room where she's restrained and this part includes plot-important details, but he's not trying to attack her. if you want to skip all of this, skip to 35:50 and I've included a summary below.

in the next episode, he gets up in her face and intimidates her, but it's brief. skip the first 2 minutes.



besides the actual sexual assault:

there's a scene in s1e2 (27:10 - 32:05) that isn't treated like rape but definitely looks like it, and might be triggering. Saori takes Chota's virginity while he lies there frozen in shock and looks distressed. in the scene Chota also flashes back to seeing his mother have sex with his church leader.

another scene in episode 2, 7:00 - 7:20 where Saori flashes back to having sex with her boss in order to get promoted. also not treated as rape, but questionably consensual (she flashes back to stepping out of the shower and noticing he's disappeared and that ends at 8:15)






EPISODE 6 SPOILER PART
.
.
.
having successfully stolen the playing cards, Chishiya prepares to leave the beach. Kuina expresses remorse for their betrayal of Arisu and he lectures her about how sympathy won't help you survive.

then he notices the laser grid that's appeared across all the doors leading out of the Beach. the power in the area suddenly cuts out, as lasers from the sky spring to life around the perimeter of the building, and everyone inside turns to look at the screens, which have lit up. the building has become a game arena. everyone in the building is in this one and it's a 10 of Hearts game, which is also coincidentally the only card they don't have yet. Usagi escapes from Niragi while he's distracted.

One character is tied to a chair and left alone. A woman is sexually assaulted (her genital areas are not touched). There are also multiple instances of characters being beaten. The whole premise can be considered a form of torture given that the characters are forced to undergo seriously traumatic situations. However, there is no traditional torture.

There are several times characters are struck in a way that could lead to teeth being damaged, but we see no evidence of this, and see that these characters still have perfectly healthy teeth afterwards.

in episode 2 it shows shibuki having sex with her boss. on the table next to them there is what i would assume to be a males wedding ring. shibuki and her boss were not married or engaged to each other so i'm assuming that shibukis boss was married to another woman and took off his wedding ring while having sex with shibuki.

in episode 8, in the 3rd scene with Kuina fighting sword guy, she flashes back to visiting her dying mother in the hospital

In later episodes we see flashbacks to a trans woman’s childhood. It’s implied that she transitioned to alleviate her gender dysphoria. I’m not sure this could be considered body dysmorphia as she doesn’t discuss at length feeling out of tune with her body at any point. Gender expression is more emphasized as an area of struggle.

if you're strongly triggered by suicide DO NOT watch this show (spoilers below)

in flashbacks in episode 4 Usagi's father disappears and it's implied that he might have committed suicide, after tabloids accused him of faking his mountain climbing record, but it's not shown

in episode 5 Hatter talks about accidentally driving one of his subordinates to suicide (about 45:00 - 46:45) but it's not shown


episode 8 is REALLY bad. there's a lot of depression and suicidal ideation:

an unnamed character tries to make one of the militants shoot him, but he doesn't. then Aguni tries to incite the crowd to shoot him, but they don't. Aguni later uses himself as a human shield to stop Nagiri and dies.

Momoka (Asahi's sister) commits suicide by laser (about 22:00).

in a flashback (23:00 - 23:45) Asahi stabs herself in the chest.

someone tries to shoot himself (31:00 - 32:00) but the gun is unloaded.

Momoka talks about her suicidal ideation around 38:30 - 39:30

s1e5 from about 19:50 - 20:25 there's a scene in a club with strobe lights

s1 episode 7 Kuina/swordboy fight with strobe lights, 18:40 - 22:10. they're fighting and then they bump into the strobe lights and turn them on. that segment also has Kuina's backstory flashback in it

episode 7, 27:00 - 29:30. right after swordboy's backstory flashback. Kuina busts out some sick karate moves

episode 7, 34:00 - 37:40. right after Usagi smashes through the window to free Arisu from his chair. more Kuina backstory in this scene and then she punches swordboy out cold.

there might be others I missed

There is transphobic hate speech in a flashback in one episode - a transwoman is caught by her father trying on makeup and he hits her and yells that they are not for boys. However, it is shown in a negative light (as in, that this hate speech is wrong). No racism, hate speech towards faiths etc.

No, although people with disabilities are entirely excluded from the series. There are a few temporarily disabled characters (due to injury) and it is suggested that they are basically a dead weight (although a few characters try to help regardless).

in season 1 episode 7, Kuina and swordguy fight and the fight is intercut with flashbacks to Kuina's childhood (not misgendering but deadnaming and transphobic abuse)

19:15 - 21:45 she gets the shit kicked out of her by her karate sensei dad during a lesson (before she came out). then her dad finds her using makeup, screams at her, hits her, throws things around, deadnames her, disowns her and kicks her out of the house

35:00 - 36:20 many years later she visits her mom in the hospital who is probably dying and it's the first time her mom has seen her since she transitioned. her mom is surprised and remarks that she's a "totally different person" but is overjoyed and says she looks beautiful. she deadnames her but only because she doesn't know her new name

s1e2 7:05 - 7:20 Saori flashes back to when she entered the game, she was having sex with her boss (she flashes back to stepping out of the shower and noticing he's gone and that ends at 8:15)


s1e2 27:10 - 32:05, Saori takes Chota's virginity while he lies there frozen in shock and looks distressed. it's not treated like sexual assault but IRL it definitely would be. in the same scene Chota flashes back to seeing his mother have sex with his church leader.

s1e5 19:50 - 20:10 there's shots of ppl having sex in the club

there's sexual assault in episode 6

there might be others I missed and there's a lot of kissing and mentions of sex

Yes, but it is not shown, only implied. Several characters in a later episode are locked in a room that is slowly filling with water. However, they do not drown. The water stops before getting to their faces and they escape

Lots of it, especially in episodes 2,7 and 8. Episode 7 is particularly brutal and the violence goes on for much of the episode so it isn't skippable.
