Violence and gore in Ultraman: Rising
Moderate. The film's action consists of frequent, large-scale battles between giant heroes and monsters (kaiju). These scenes include characters being thrown into buildings, energy blasts, explosions, and significant property destruction. While intense, the violence is not graphic or bloody. In one scene, a baby kaiju is accidentally hit with a baseball and cries in pain. A main character's father is injured in an explosion, and the primary villain dies in a self-inflicted explosion.
Language in Ultraman: Rising
Mild. There is at least one use of "hell" uttered in frustration. Other language is limited to very mild insults or exclamations. The MPAA's mention of "rude humor" likely refers to some light gags related to caring for a baby creature.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Ultraman: Rising
Very brief and minor. In one scene, the main character is seen drinking a beverage in a social setting that is implied to be alcoholic, referred to as a "fancy fizzy drink." This is incidental and not a focus of the scene.
Mature themes in Ultraman: Rising
This film contains significant thematic material. A core theme is the estranged relationship between Ken and his father, and their eventual reconciliation through shared struggle.
