Spoiler: click to toggle Spoiler: click to toggle I see... Maybe it's the one making Asuza's eye red... Though, for what purpose on why did she summon the demon? Accident or intended?
It's kinda sad... We couldn't see her much aside from her hauntings...Well, 2U game is getting translated we just have to wait for more info in that.
BTW, off topic but did you understand the written code under the 3 hanged village people?
Spoiler: click to toggle It will be a while until he reach the EX chapter though.
@DeathkaiserG: I'm not too sure on the details. From what I know, she made a contract with the demon, possibly to get her out of HH. And sorry, I have zero idea about the code. I only watched people play the game, but were you supposed to cut down any of the 3 hanged people? Thought the code might be a clue to who you're supposed to cut down, but...maybe not. @ghorba: Spoiler: click to toggle I find Azusa's character a bit complex. To put it simply, she's not as mature as she looks. While we are on the subject, here's something interesting... Ayumi in 2U In 2U EX chapter, Ayumi displays an ability similar to psychometry. My Japanese is limited so I don't know if they explain how she got this power or not, but it doesn't seem to carry over to BD.
Spoiler: click to toggle if remember correctly the code was to make the word spell noble, so you cut the middle one

Spoilers for Chapter 09's puzzle If the word was to indeed spell NOBLE (From "NO BL EL OT"), wouldn't you have to cut down the middle and right skeletons? Because in Classroom 1-C, we see a painting displaying three people: The King (国王) to the left, the Soldier (兵士) in the middle, and Townsperson (市民) to the right. So you want to keep the noble (King) hanging.
I haven't played the game, but what I have seen from a playthrough video seems to suggest that this was the correct solution.

About Azusa (contains spoilers for both Blood Drive and the extra chapter of 2U)
Spoiler: click to toggle Not only is Azusa a member of Tomb of Maltuba, she's ranked second in the line of succession (I'm not sure if that means there;s one person between her and the position of the head or if she's the very next in line to become the head). For comparison, Magari is ranked fourth.
About the demon in the extra chapter of 2U. The following is based entirely on my understanding of the extra chapter, so it may not be entirely accurate.
The demon was created by Azusa accidentally. She attempted a charm, along with Ran, Toshihisa, and Kentarou, that was similar to the Sachiko charm: the Sacred Shroud charm, in which all participants write their name on a cloth and send it floating down a river to always stay friends forever. However, the cloth wound up clogging an irrigation pipe, and Kentarou got in trouble for it. This drove a wedge in the friendship between the four, causing the charm to fail. Because the charm was so similar to the Sachiko charm, that failure created a demon connected to Heavenly Host. Sometime after the fact, that demon offered to transport Ran, Toshihisa, and Kentarou to Heavenly Host, and Azusa accepted. However, the demon also sent Azusa to the school along with the other three.

off topic, i saw that BD was going to be relesed this year on wikipedia is that true or just rumors? Most likely rumors, XSEED Games haven't even announced they are going to localize this game.
So I would place this amongst the many rumors and false information spread about the Corpse Party series such as "Corpse Party 2 is being cancelled".

Spoiler: click to toggle I thought Magari is like the 2nd successor? Her title in english (which i forgot) somewhat says second.... Its either that or im just mixing it up. (You know where the Martuva members address magari as *title* magari) Spoiler: click to toggle Off topic again but again I dunno much about how magali's name was created... Clearly the kanji says "愛" I've searched it but I haven't found any onyomis or kunyomis bout reading it as "Ma".... I guess the kari part goes changing to gari.. Just wondering.. love hunting <3  Also why Mizuki is written in the wiki as Miduki? I know there is one more romanization rule.. I've forgot bout that... Do you actually pronounce it as miduki than mizuki? If ive notice that puzzle I have cut the kings rope I guess  Azusa tried to send her friends to Heavenly Host? Intentionally?

Spoiler: click to toggle Magri's title is (I believe) Second Degree Master. I don't know what exactly that means, but it's different than her position in the successorship.
I think the 愛 = "Ma" thing may be a case of "the reading is whatever the heck I want it to be" that isn't entirely uncommon to names. My dictionary lists "mana" as a kun reading for the character, so it may be based on that. Magari herself actually brings up the love hunter/love hunting meaning of her name at one point in Cemetery0.
As for her last name being spelled Miduki, something in a DVD romanized her name that way. The "du" comes from a certain romanization of the kana づ that I believe is almost entirely restricted to Japan, or at least Asia. Under typical western conventions for romanizing Japanese names, her last name should be romanized as "Mizuki," and I'm quite certain that's how XSeed will do it.
It's been a while since I played the extra chapter in 2U, so I can't be sure exactly why she sent her friends to Heavenly Host, but she said she wanted to erase her past and start over from scratch, which she couldn't do with Ran transferring along with her to St. Cruz. I honestly hope we can get some expansion on her story in some kind of supplemental story, because I'm curious about a lot of things with her.

Spoiler: click to toggle I see. So it has nothing to do with the magic circle in BC? And I wonder how the Sacred Shroud is connected to HH, because this means there are now 3 ways to get to the school, right?

Spoilers for Magari Yeah, her title is 「上位信奉者(セカンド・ディグリー)・マスター」 or "Second Degree Master," though the Kanji are literally read as "High Order Devotee Master."

I guess the kari part goes changing to gari.. Just wondering.. love hunting <3  There are names where the 愛 can mean "Ma," such as 愛亜也 (Maaya), 愛望 (Manamu), and 愛凛 (Marin). They are taking the "Ma" from the "Mana" (まな) reading.

Also why Mizuki is written in the wiki as Miduki? I know there is one more romanization rule.. I've forgot bout that... Do you actually pronounce it as miduki than mizuki? Before Corpse Party: Blood Drive, the only reading we had of her name was from a Japanese Wikipedia user who misspelled the furigana of her name as みずき マガリ (Mizuki Magari) as from the Corpse Party: Book of Shadows Drama CD. It wasn't until Blood Drive that we learned her surname was spelled みづき (Midzuki). I don't know if Mizuki is the spelling they used in the "PROJECT DOLLIES" CDs, but I don't own them in order to confirm if her name was changed between the two versions. (For reference's sakes, I just checked and her name is spelled as みづき (Midzuki) in Corpse Party CEMETERY0.)
Following Nihon-shiki romanization, みづき (Midzuki) would be romanized as Miduki as they used this spelling is shown on her alternate DVD cover. However, XSEED Games may use the Hepburn romanization of her name and spell it as Magari Mizuki.

Magari's name.. - Quote:

Ah *facepalm* its in here... Its in kunyomis... I didnt notice the mana one.. Thanks about that - Quote:

Ah yes... That's what I'm talking about.. Forgot their names  But in real life, I never heard of having a name/word with a "du" in pronunciation? Or i just haven't heard one at all... Sorry for noobness
Magari and Azusa Ah I see...
Then if asuza is more higher ranking... Then I guess they promoted Magali to that title because they know azusa's *pretty much* dead or maybe just missing.. Wonder if there are any more successors to Maltuva aside from those two
Thanks for the information about Azusa... Now, I'm curious as well...XD)
