Violence & Gore

Profanity

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Masao has a nightmare. Masao is tied up, and a man stutters his body. Masao is unpleasant, and a woman (presumed to be Masao's mother) tears around.
  • Masao sees a fantasy in which two ghosts appear. This scene is more ridiculous than scary.
  • A man (Takeshi) insults everyone he meets. He is portrayed as a very rude person.
  • A dream sequence show a bunch of women talking to the camera and laughing. Not frightening, but weird as it is supposed to be weird because it is a dream.
  • In a dream sequence, two men randomly dance in a dark forest setting. No music. Just wild animal sound effects. It ends with a close-up shot of one of the men breaking the fourth wall saying "kid". It cuts to Kikujiro talking to the boy.
  • None
