So, I'm working on a project relating to Corpse Party but before I went further with it I wanted to confirm some things. However, when I looked around, I couldn't find any information on Seiji Shinozaki, Yoshie's husband and Sachiko's father. Digging through roughly twenty hours of gameplay to find what I need is both time-consuming and a bit troublesome because I don't really know where to begin looking.

What I do know is as follows (also copypasted from my story notes):


  • Yoshie explains she is the one at fault for creating Heavenly Host. She originates from a long family line of witches, however, every man that marries a Shinozaki is doomed to die of an early death.
  • When her husband died, she was stricken with grief and despair. In her moments of despair, she turned to the forbidden book her family had been protecting to prevent misuse.
  • This item was called ‘Book of Shadows’.
  • However, the blood in her veins was much more powerful than anyone could have known, it created something different than what she intended to create; a new Nirvana.
  • It was a place where one could coexist with the dead for all eternity. A new dimension cut from the netherworld itself, forcibly born unto the world of the living.
  • However, she couldn’t control it as the Nirvana had a mind of its own. The Forbidden Magic had a blowback of course, her husband’s soul was split and scattered and she was on the verge of dying. To save her mother, Sachiko, in possession of a near limitless spiritual potential, absorbed all of Nirvana into her body.
  • Because of her selfish actions, her daughter became the host of the Nirvana and upon her violent death, the Nirvana was released and took on the appearance of the place she violently died. Even in death, Sachiko showed great spiritual power with how she can control this hell so easily.


So my question is, what the heck happened to Seiji's soul? If I recall right, at a later point in the game Yoshie mentions she saved him from Nirvana but I don't quite understand how it was done. How was his soul gathered? How do you save someone from Nirvana? Is it possible for someone to explain to me what exactly happened to Seiji?

i am very confused

Seiji's soul was freed from the Nirvana in the same way Ayumi saved everyone else's soul from the Nirvana.

Yoshie lost her husband due to the 'Curse of the Shinozaki', and in her grief she tried to use the Book of Shadows to revive him. The Book of Shadows contained a spell that was called "Land of Corpse" which is the literal translation of "Terre du Corps". The Book of Shadows is written in French according to Ayumi, and that is why the English name looks like that. It's actually means "Land of the Dead".

Anyways, Yoshie unsealed the Nirvana when she tried to use the spell to revive her husband. This was capable because of her Shinozaki heritage. As the 6 Demon Pillars can only be retrieved by a Shinozaki, it seems that they had a hand in its creation in the first place.

With the Nirvana released, it began to consume Yoshie as well as the soul of Seiji. It was only by Sachiko consuming the Nirvana and sealing it inside her that Yoshie was saved and Seiji's soul was released.

So, the Nirvana was never created by her. It had been sealed inside the Book of Shadows.

Yoshie later laments that the spell "Land of Corpse" had never been cast properly before, and says she found it was a useless spell when analyzing its anagrams.

I see, okay, that makes more sense now!

For some reason, I couldn't quite grasp an understanding of what happened to Seiji while playing the game. Your explanation makes it much simpler to understand.

Thank you!
