Sex and nudity in Super Pig

Mild romantic crushes between middle school students are depicted, primarily Karin's unrequited crush on Koichi. There are no suggestive outfits, innuendo, or explicit content. One episode features a 'best couple' contest, and another deals with love letters.

Violence and gore in Super Pig

The violence is highly stylized and comedic, typical of a magical girl anime. Buurin often uses her pig-like abilities to solve problems, which can involve pushing, shoving, or slapstick falls. Villains are typically foiled through non-injurious means, and no blood or severe injuries are shown. Characters bounce back from impacts quickly. One episode involves a bank robber, but the confrontation is cartoonish and non-threatening.

Language in Super Pig

There is no profanity or strong language. Characters occasionally use mild exclamations of frustration but nothing beyond typical children's television fare.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Super Pig

There is no consumption of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco in this season. The series maintains a strict focus on lighthearted adventures without any substance use depictions.
