A child is shown to have extremely negligent parents. In season 3 episode 10 an otherwise negligent father physically harms his son—it’s mostly accidental but may be upsetting to some viewers.

A plot line throughout the seasons is that one of the main protagonists was in the military and went through extremely harsh private training, including borderline verbal abuse, with his officer at war, who (SPOILERS!) he later fights and kills. We see this happen through flashbacks. Later this character opens a karate studio and teaches his students in a similar harsh way, using verbal and some physical abuse as tactics.

Cigars are constantly smoked by a recurring character in S2, and if you count alcohol as a drug, then theres constant drinking in most seasons.

In the finale of Season 5, one of Silvers villains loses a pinky. This happens when Johnny is fighting in the sword room. There is blood spurting and a little bone, but it is relatively short and cartoonish.

Not quite a shower scene, but Samantha and Robby train in a Koi Pond in which they both fall a couple of times. Its not really sexual or anything like that, but they are shown to have romantic feelings for eachother down the line.

I decided to just take one for the team and watch the new season. Overall no one vomits so it is safe. I saw someone mention that they were worried that Kenny would throw up in episode 4 but nothing happens. He just took laxatives and runs to the bathroom. Enjoy watching!
