the main character often seems unusually blank or numb in the face of horrible situations, but he always seems to be *mostly* aware of what's going on around him.

In new chapters, the main character notices that a character has recurrently shown up around him, and many panels show the character silently watching the main character and even making the MC uncomfortable with their presence. The main character asks them, "Are you stalking me?" to which the character answers "When you put it that way, you aren't exactly wrong", inferring acknowledgement that their behaviour is uncomfortable.

The main character is fighting a devil that is the incarnation of darkness, so he sets himself on fire to “fight dark with light”. He is effectively immortal and regenerates forever, so he doesn’t die.

There is a scene where the Mc drags an antagonist into the ocean to defeat them, but since both characters are immortal they survive.

Par for the course and extremely heavy. Imagery of intestines is pretty common, and there is a character whose brains are exposed 24/7.

Gun violence happens frequently. One of the bigger villains is pretty much a living gun.
