Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Denji touches both Power's and Makima's breasts. Both scenes last quite long
  • Makima says that she will grant Denji any wish if he manages to kill the Gun Devil. Denji asks if sex is an option, but his sentence is cut off by her.
  • Himeno and Denji kiss with their tongues which lasts for quite a while. During the kissing, it turns out that Himeno puked in Denji's mouth, but the censored version blurs the vomit.
  • A woman offers the main character a French kiss as a reward, which he gladly accepts. Later, when she is drunk, she also offers him to have sex with her which he almost accepts but doesn't because he has feelings for another person.

Violence & Gore

  • During the last third of the first episode, Denji is stabbed through the heart, and same with Pochita. Then, it shows him going into his Chainsaw Man form and brutally massacring a horde of zombies.
  • Denji kills a zombie devil and his minions pretty brutally with plenty of blood and gore spurting everywhere.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some may be distressed or saddened by the fact the main character, Denji, was orphaned (his dad hanged himself to escape debt, and his mom died from a heart disease that made her cough up blood). However, his pet dog sacrificed himself to save Denji. This is an intensely emotional scene even from episode one.
  • A devil holds a girl's cat hostage, threatening to kill the cat if she doesn't get him humans to eat. The girl brings the devil a human but he is disgusted by the taste of the person she brought, so he eats her cat as a punishment. This could distress some viewers.
  • In Episode 8, many previously introduced characters are fatally shot by guns.
  • A major character sacrifices her body for a devil contract, and gradually loses both of her arms and legs. She then disappears entirely, only leaving behind her clothes. As such, viewers may find this shocking.
  • Episode 9 is intense for multiple reasons. To name one, there is a long sequence where people are crushed to death by an unseen force. The characters are powerless against it, and to make it worse, the characters get a dreadful gut feeling before they die. The whole thing is accompanied by the intense rhythmic tone set by the OST (Original Soundtrack).
