Violence and scary scenes

This film contains animated violence, mostly towards demons which the main characters kill using various sharp weapons. These scenes frequently include and are broken up by comedy, which can dampen the weight of the violence.

Demons are cut in half and impaled through the torso, head, and face. They disintegrate right after being killed so there is no minimal injury detail.

There are some creepy scenes involving demons that suck people’s souls, making them disappear. A demon king sends crowds of crawling, shadowy demons to fight his enemies.

One character sacrifices his life to save another, hoping to meet his loved ones who died long ago.
