violence
Whilst being tortured and as he hangs from the ceiling, a man's ears are bloodily cut off with a focus on the enjoyment of his aggressors as they inflict the pain. There are other strong moments in which characters are stabbed, resulting in blood spurts and pooling. More moderate moments include stylised fight and battle scenes.
injury detail
There is sight of severed body parts and strong bloody detail in the aftermath of violence. After battles, dead bodies line the ground.
Verbal references are made to a Ninja raping a man's wife and attacking other women. Moderate sex references include scenes that take place with sex workers in a brothel. A man inflicts tribal wounds to his face and leaps to his death after he is cornered by an army of warriors; however, all wounds and injuries are masked. Another character contemplates taking her own life as troops get close to her home. There are scenes of mild threat and occasional use of mild bad language ('bastard', 'bloody'), which is accompanied by very mild terms ('damn').
