ONECHANBARA: BIKINI ZOMBIE SLAYERS is an action game for the Nintendo Wii console, featuring a group of young Japanese women who fight a horde of zombies throughout various locations. The game was classified '15' for strong bloody violence.

The violence in the game includes sight of frequent blood-letting with a range of zombies being either shot or sliced in half. Blood seen during the action is of a pink hue rather than red, and the bodies of the defeated creatures vanish just a few seconds after death rather than littering the environments for an extended period. There is use of an array of realistic weapons by the slayers, ranging from swords to machine guns. At '15', the BBFC's Guidelines state that 'violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury', and that 'the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable'. In the case of ONECHANBARA: BIKINI ZOMBIE SLAYERS, it was felt that the unrealistic nature of the scenario that players engage in during play helped to diminish the impact of the violence, and as bodies disappeared very quickly after death there was clearly a fantastical atmosphere to the game. Blood is seen and limbs are severed as enemies are killed, but the work lacks the strongest images that have been seen in other video games classified '18' by the BBFC and the graphical representation of said violence is less detailed than in those works.

The game also contains some sexualised elements as the player is able to dress the female characters in various outfits, and there is a facility to pause the game and rotate the camera so a character's underwear is visible if the player so desires. There is no sexualised nudity however.
