My Hero Academia: parents' guide

Superpowered battles with explosions, broken bones, burns and characters coughing blood. Later seasons are bloodier, with characters losing limbs, including a teacher who has his leg amputated mid-battle, deaths on both sides, and a villain whose touch turns people to dust.

Occasional mild-to-moderate words in the English dub: 's--t,' 'damn,' 'hell,' 'bastard,' 'ass' and 'crap,' plus insults like 'jerkwad.' One classmate's constant angry threats are a big part of the dialogue.

Tight, revealing hero costumes, an adult heroine billed as the 'R-rated hero' who carries a whip and handcuffs and makes innuendo, and a boy who ogles and comments on female classmates' bodies. Brief nonsexual nudity and bathing scenes.

Adults smoke and drink, later seasons mention getting drunk, and fictional drugs that boost or erase superpowers drive parts of the plot.

Early villains are creepy but manageable. Later arcs turn disturbing: a little girl experimented on for her power, a small boy whose power disintegrates his family, including his young sister and dog, and a hero father whose abuse drives his wife to scald their son.
