A close up of an arrow shooting through someones head happens, which pins their head to the all behind them, although the head remains intact. Afterwards, another person's head is shot by an arrow, we see the blood spray for a second, and it's bloodier than the first shot. They aren't squashed but it does involve violent head trauma which may trigger some people.

A character struggles to breathe because of a chest wound and coughs up blood. They do not survive because of the wound/blood loss, though the coughing and breathing may be upsetting.

The main character, the swordsman traveling with Kotaro, has occasional nightmares and flashbacks. It's not named as PTSD and can be interpreted as being caused by guilt.
