9 of 12 found this mild
Some suggestive humor.
Several instances of an old man inappropriately touching female characters.
Several instances of inappropriately dressed female characters in workout videos, or magazines.
Some partial male nudity, comical style.
One character is a perverted old man.

Violence & Gore

Moderate
8 of 10 found this moderate
It has a lot of violence but it isn't as bad as the original.
A boy is stabbed through the torso by a horn. The horn is seen sticking through him, and blood comes out of his wound. The blood trickles down the horn and lands on his attacker's face, the attacker then licks it off.
A man is grabbed by the neck and repeatedly punched in the back many times. The man throws up blood.
A man's arm is sliced off.
An alien is sliced in half. Purple alien blood, and dismembered body parts are seen
A hole is blasted through a man's stomach. Blood drips from his wound and a puddle of blood forms on the ground. As he walks, a trail of blood follows him.
A young boy's neck is broken. He is seen on the ground unable to breath, with a glazed over expression.
A man is picked up by a robot, and stabbed through the stomach with its hand. The robot pulls his hand out, and a considerable amount of blood is shown splattering on the ground.
A man is stabbed in the back by an alien's tail. The tail begins to suck the contents of his body out. His hand and face are seen shriveling up until he is completely gone. His clothes remain on the ground. This scene could be frightening to younger viewers. It is also implied that this happened to many people. Entire cities are seen abandoned with empty clothes lying all over.
A man's legs are crushed and broken by a giant monster. The man screams as they are repeatedly stepped on.

Profanity

Moderate
5 of 9 found this moderate
Some moderate language.
Several uses of mild swear like hell, damn, damn it, ass and bastard. Stronger language like bitch, son of a bitch, shit, piece of shit, holy shit, shitty, dumbass, jackass, ass hat, ass face, asshole, prick, dick, dickhead, dickwad, Goddamn, goddamn it, douchebag, balls.
In the Japanese version, Bitch, Damn, Hell, Bastard, Piss, Ass, Dumbass, Jackass and Badass are used.
The Nicktoons dub has no profanities, with childish words, such as "heck" and "darn". In the uncut English dub, many episodes has mild language, such as "damn", "hell", "bastard", "crap", "piss" and "ass".
In this version, there's no middle finger, just cuss words.
Several minor language, such as "hell", "damn", "bastard", "ass", "piss" and "crap".
The language in the remastered version are increased common than in the original version.
These profanities are obviously edited on Nicktoons.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

None
3 of 5 found this to have none
The characters are seen drinking beer occasionally.
Dr. Briefs smokes as well as Bulma in some episodes. Nothing too much though. Hardly noticeable.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
3 of 7 found this moderate
On many occasions, large amounts of people are mercilessly killed.
Many villains in this series engage in mass homicide, usually in a nonchalant manner.
The fight scenes are more intense then in the original series. Even though the Kai series is a remastered version of the original series with some things added, Kai series is edited down to be closely adapted to the manga, so the battles are straight to the point and there are hardly any fillers like there was in the originals. So there is more fighting then talking, and the battles do get very intense, at least in the uncut versions.
