Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train

violence

Strong violence features a strangling, slashings and stabbings with bladed weapons, dismemberment and decapitations which result in extensive blood spurts and other forms of bloodshed. The violence is, however, highly stylised and embedded in a clearly fantastical context which is far distanced from the real world. This distancing is reflected in a character cutting his own neck in undetailed manner to bring about his death in a sinister dreamscape in order to come out of an induced sleep and fight demons in the waking world.

injury detail

There are flashbacks to the aftermaths of demonic massacres in which bodies with bloody injuries and clothing are strewn around rooms.

additional issues: There is moderate fantastical threat and horror. There is mild bad language ('bastard', 'ass', 'piss off', 'fricking', 'damn' and 'hell').

violence

There is strong fantasy violence and prolonged battle scenes. People use swords to slash at demons, cutting off heads, limbs and tentacles and creating large spurts and sprays of blood. A demon punches through a man’s torso, and another man is stabbed. There is also a sequence of prolonged strangulation, although the victim does not die.

injury detail

There are images of dead and injured people covered in blood. A man must repeatedly wake himself from enchanted sleep by cutting off his own head within his dream, causing large blood spurts. A humanoid demon’s arm is cut vertically in half during battle, but the two pieces fuse back together.

additional issues: People are attacked by monstrous demons in scenes of moderate horror. Mild bad language includes ‘pissed’, ‘bastard’, ‘ass’ and ‘freaking’.
