There is a RAPE scene of a prostitute

Some romance and nudity.

A woman is implied to have been raped by one of the villains.

There are a few sexual references throughout the show.

At the beginning of the series two characters kiss in bed. However, they're both fully clothed and this scene is very brief.

Oftentimes throughout the show characters go to a street where prostitutes gather for customers. However, the characters never become customers themselves and simply go to one particular prostitute who's connected the mass murderer they're chasing.

In episode 49, it is implied that a boy sees a man RAPING a woman (not having sex). He says she has to do what he says because he paid her but she doesn't like the place, he takes his trousers off and talks about his "superiority" while she complains, he grabs her head and we see very brief thrusting and a shocked look given by the boy. She's left unconscious.

There are various instances of male nudity which only include bare backs chest them in their underwear and nothing else. It doesn't show anything further than this.

A character has sex with multiple women throughout the series and it is said that he is "big where it counts".

There are seen a few photos containing male upper nudity but nothing more.

A stripper is shown dancing in a strip club but is fully dressed as it turns into a fight scene.

A young child tries to jump off a bridge and kill himself.

The villain, Johan Liebert, is a deeply disturbing and frightening character, being a complete psychopath who manipulates everyone around him and kills innocents for fun, and his eerily calm demeanor and utter depravity make him even creepier.

Rated R for disturbing violent content and behavior, bloody images, some sexuality, and nudity.

Throughout the series, many people get negatively affected by Johan's (antagonist's/villain's) presence, which radically alters their psychological pattern towards life in a very strong manner by making them either become serial killers or commit suicide.

Near the end of the show, there is a massacre in a town that used to be peaceful. This is depicted in about 2-3 episodes, and all of them are very intense, shocking and disturbing.

Though the main antagonist has a very small amount of screentime, his effect on the audience amplifies, as his scenes are breath-taking and stress-inducing. He is, however, the focus the anime and affects all of the characters in the show.

The entire series is based on the idea of fear, manipulation, and human corruption. The main villain has quite a twisted mind that can be very hard to understand sometimes. The main character progressively becomes less of a hero in pursuit to kill the villain.

Around the beginning of the show some people are shot, and their children are taken into the hospital. The girl (both around age 12) is seen wandering around the hospital, whispering the word 'kill'. This could be disturbing to some.

The scenes related to an orphanage massacre can be disturbing or frightening to some.

One of the main background characters is strapped to a chair and tortured - his nails are cut past the point that they should be cut, and he is beaten. This can be very disturbing to audiences who are sensitive to torture.

Interviews with other murderers can be weird sometimes, such as one who believes he is a vampire and sucks people's blood when he kills them.

This show covers themes that are quite dark, such as child abuse, human experimentation, mass murder, torture, war, loss, insanity, revenge, and questions what the right thing is to do in situations where it may seem obvious, or where there may be no right thing to do. It is very dark and twisted.

The show is incredibly creepy and suspenseful, as the main villain is a psychopathic mass murderer.
