Sex & Nudity

  • There's a female character who can grow giant and wears a skintight outfit, the lower part of which is flesh-colored. She draws attention to her butt in front of the paparazzi and, in the English dub, says (referring to the criminal she just defeated), "You won't have to worry about this bum anymore." She appears as an occasional side character throughout the show.
  • Some male characters are seen shirtless in a few scenes.
  • A female character's power is to make things from her body. At one point she's turned around making something with her outfit opened implying that her breasts are exposed. We don't see anything but another character is visibly embarrassed.
  • One female character's power is to turn invisible. However, to be completely invisible, she must take off all of her clothes. Other (mostly male) characters are shown to be embarrassed while she does this, though this is mostly for comedic effect. In one episode, a male teacher bumps the invisible girl's breast with his arm completely by accident; we hear a bouncy sound effect, and the girl starts yelling at the teacher, and he starts apologizing profusely.

  • There is a scene where two boys imagine what the girls in their class would look like in swimsuits. Their dream scene is shown, and all the girls are wearing overly revealing bikinis or tight one-peices.
  • A reoccurring teenage female character wears a costume heavily revealing her breasts, however private parts are covered.
  • The show doesn't really have any fan-service other than some slightly revealing outfits for the characters. No outfits show any nudity though.
  • Some characters are perverts like at one point in the series a boy sees there is a hole in the wall to a girls dressing station by a pool and he say " I'm going to go look in there " (added content to the violence section) in retaliation another character stabs the boy in the eye and tells him not to do it
  • One of the female characters is wearing a low cut dress that shows quite a bit of cleavage (she is actually on the picture on this page, if you got to the right and go all the way down you will see her)

  • At one point, All Might is shown naked in his weakened form, but no genitals or buttocks is visible.
  • A guy's bare butt is shown however this is only for around 10-20 seconds it is non sexual
  • Most inappropriate scenes or jokes are played for laughs, very brief, and don't happen too much, since the person it's usually centered around is a side character who doesn't get a whole lot of screen time, but after a little while he usually gets cut off by the other classmates, mostly female for obvious reasons.
  • The series has a few mild suggestive/sexual humor and content.
  • A group of male students strip out of their clothes and drag their friend with them to give him a bath. Bare buttocks are briefly seen and one of the boys stands out of the tub for several moments, his genitals are obscured by steam.

  • There is one character (Nomu) that has the top of his head exposed throughout, although there is no blood.
  • The main villain has the power to completely disintegrate whatever he touches. He has been seen using this power to disintegrate living humans, which can be quite terrifying.
  • Not a very violent anime. However, as the seasons continue, it gets more intense and exciting. Also, the most bloodiest part is Season 4.
  • Some violence (some in a cartoonish way, but some is pretty intense).
  • Throughout the series, a character is shown to scratch their neck a lot when they seem to be stressed, and in some scenes, you can see red scars. These scenes slowly become less frequent the farther you go into the anime.
  • One of the villains, Toga, is a psychopathic serial killer with a severe blood fetish. Her modus operandi involves brutally murdering in several extremely graphic and gruesome ways and then drain them of their blood using a blood pumping machine so that she can assume their identity. As such, any scene involving her can be scary and violent.
  • The Shie Hassaikai and Pro Hero arcs are the most violent, as they contain some rather graphic moments.
  • It can get graphic at times (mostly because of stain's quirk in the second season), but other then that, it is nothing that a 10 year old couldn't handle.
  • While this show does tend to have it's violent scenes, it's not too often where it's really bad, and when it is, it's very brief. As something you might see in a live action show or movie of the same or higher rating.
  • Cartoon action violence throughout. Most characters uses their own quirks (known as fantastical superhero powers), are used, as well as weapons.

  • All Might sometimes coughs up blood when he uses his power too much. However, his real appearance is very frail and boney.
  • Two different teen boys are choked to near death by the same monster, both are saved at the last second.
  • Two teen boys get into a fight, with one being beaten, though not too badly.
  • The majority of the violence in the first season is mild and mostly bloodless, until the last two episodes.
  • Whenever the main character uses his power, he breaks whatever body part he uses, he's shown in varying degrees of pain and the body part looks like it was burnt, but this happens less and less as the series progresses.
  • A teen boy apparently gets severe (but only temporary) brain damage when he uses his power too much. This is only meant for comedic purposes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A mean jock, Bakugo, tells the protagonist, Izuku, to kill himself. He does not do it, but he does (understandably) take this emotionally.

  • One character is constantly bullied by another character for a little reason, and he is seen emotional as well as physical pain from this sometimes.

  • In the second season, a character has flashbacks to his past. He is shown as a five year old, crying and throwing up on the floor because his father had pushed him too hard during training. His father shows no remorse, getting angry and calling him weak. When his mother tries to intervene, she is heard being hit or slapped offscreen.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In Season 3, a character recalls his backstory and how he became a villain. The short story is that he doesn't know if he's the real him. However, there is blood all over the floor and furniture in the apartment during his flashback, and he has a mental breakdown and starts panicking while grabbing his head and thrashing at the air around him. This could be seen as frightening to younger viewers.
  • During the end of the training camp arc, someone is captured by the villains and held captive by the League Of Villains.
  • The fourth season is about trying to rescue a kidnapped girl that has powers can erase the hero's quirks and powers or amplify them.

Later in the episode, he accidentally kills his family with his awakening quirk. As his father violently hits him, he goes insane, screaming at the top of his lungs as he brutally kills his father.

  • In Season 3, there is a series of very intense battles that continue throughout the season, but in the end, a lot of people get hurt badly.
  • In Season 1, Nomu breaks Aizawa's arms and crushes his face into the ground twice. This can be a little bit intense for younger viewers.

  • Season 6 is very dark, intense and emotional due to the Paranormal Liberation War arc.
