One of the show's main themes is women's place in its society. As such, violence against women is present. I did not find it tasteless nor "at random" like the trigger description implies but that is a theme one should be aware of.

E4: Just clarifying that the spider in E4 is fine. It is released at the end of the scene and crawls away unharmed.
However, a bird definitely dies in the same episode (E4)… it’s brief but very sad. It was an accident and she is placed in her nest with her eggs.
E6: A rat is killed with a sword near the beginning of this episode. Monkeys are killed with a sword near the middle of this episode.
E7: A bird is killed with an arrow after being set free. Later, the person who set it free is forced to eat it.

The Great Fire of Meireki happens in the last episode. It is a real historical even that destroyed 70% of the capital city. We don't see anyone burning but we see people trying to escape through locked gates and hear their screams. In reality this fire killed over 100,000 people.

There are a few instances of minor characters (unnamed soldiers/guards) dying trying to protect important characters. One major character endures torture to protect another character but they do not die during this.
In the final episode, a very minor character performs a seppuku ritual (“hari-kiri”) when defeated.

I am saying no but there is a very subtle implication that a character who is killed was pregnant. However, it’s not confirmed or overt, and very much up for interpretation. That’s what I got from it though and I’m sure I won’t be alone in picking the subtle hints up.

Mentioned and used as an insult fairly frequently. There’s a puppet show about an onryo (wrathful spirit) that has some imagery that is reminiscent of demons and Hell. In E6, a character is drugged with a powerful hallucigenic and hallucinates people as demon-like. Also, some of the oni masks look like Shinto “demons.”

It’s a series that’s not yet over. But the ending of season 1 was neither completely happy nor completely sad.
