Language in Dotto! Koni-chan

The language used is generally mild. Characters occasionally refer to themselves or others as 'idiots' or similar light insults in the context of comedic situations. There is mild bait-and-switch profanity in some dubs, where a character seems poised to say a swear word but uses a harmless substitution instead.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Dotto! Koni-chan

A recurring character, Inu-Afro, is frequently depicted with a lit cigarette in his mouth.
