Several scenes of torture specifically in the 4th arc, one ritualistic. Some other scenes are brief flashes of history, usually crudely drawn, but none the less graphic.

One of the most infamous scenes of the show involves someone being forced to tear off three finger nails. Though mostly off-screen, the mutilation is seen as well as after wounds.

There's a character who says he'd like to marry an underaged character as an adult himself, if that counts. I'm fairly sure all the main characters are underaged as well.

Most of the main characters are kids, some as young as 6. They always come back the next arc, but their deaths are all disturbing.

At the end of episode 10, Satoko has a panic attack and vomits offscreen. Sounds are heard you can see a puddle afterwards. It's also shown on her chin for a bit. Its not really graphic, but the sounds can be triggering. It's shown again at the beginning of episode 11.
In episode 17, one of the twins throws up the day after she get her nails removed. It's off screen, but the sounds are realistic.

(Spoilers) Yeah, during the arc with Shion killing people, she wets herself when she realizes she broke Satoshi's final wishes, or something like that. I just know there is def a scene where Shion pisses herself.

Extremely heavy amounts of violence of blood and gore. Not as frequent as most other anime, but most scenes of violence are incredibly shocking.
