Starting out as a small RPG Marker (RPG Tsukūru Dante98) game by Makoto Kedouin while he was in college, the game Corpse Party has started to pick up traction within the macabre gaming world.
Corpse Party tells the story of a group of Japanese high school students that meets together after their school’s spring cultural festival. One of the students in the group, Mayu, is transferring to another high school the following day, so she and her friends gather in their classroom to say goodbye. One of her friends, Ayumi, brings out a charm that she found online and asks everyone to follow the ritual. If performed correctly, then all of them will be friends forever. Mayu, Ayumi, their friends Satoshi, Naomi, Seiko, Morishige, Yoshiki, Satoshi’s little sister Yuka, and their homeroom teacher Ms. Yui all complete the charm. The charm itself is a paper doll that they all pull apart at the same time, having a piece of the doll for themselves.
Unfortunately for the group, the charm wasn’t performed correctly the group descends into a crumbling floor below. What follows is the students being split apart from each other and are forced to witness disturbing amounts of gore, death, and finding the remains of other students, as well as their friends.
The amount of horrific situations that the group gets thrusts into only becomes more horrific through the franchise’s history. For example, the plotline told above only exists as the remake version of Corpse Party. The first game built in 1996, shorten the list of characters to only five, Satoshi, Naomi, Ayumi, Yoshiki, and Yuka. As if to stay to the original story, all of the additional characters added to the game’s story all, one way or another, end up being killed, making their existence in the game at all seem pointless other than to add to the bloodshed. Given the question, why create a game only for misery?

…

During its early years, Corpse Party remained underground for the most part, only existing online for users that had a PC-9801 system. Over time, the game started to pick up traction among international players as RPG Marker started to become assessable to Chinese, Korean, and English speakers. For overseas players that happened to stable upon Corpse Party, they would use game emulators in order to play the game to its fullest. The use of game emulators and recording devices helped bring Corpse Party into the modern spotlight, leading to a massive launch of the game in 2014 and 2015, when YouTubers started to record and post their emulated gameplay for all to see.
Due to this rise in popularity, more and more viewers were able to gain access to the games, many the same age or younger than the teenagers portrayed in the game itself. With age restrictions not required to access the videos, children and adults of all ages were able to witness what happened to these poor souls.

…

The group of students within school all face different scenarios of horror during their time in Heavenly Host Elementary School and all return with different levels of psyche still intact or missing. A perfect example of a student that is affected heavily is Naomi, the game’s main female protagonist in the remake. Originally built in the first game to be displayed as a headstrong, strong-willed character, in the remake Naomi becomes more self-conscious of herself. Her moxy is gone and her dependency on the other characters within the game becomes more pronounced throughout the series.
Naomi suffers from PTSD from Heavenly Host. In the original Corpse Party, Naomi is lucky enough to not experience any hardships, remaining headstrong until the end of the game and not letting fear get the best of her. In the remake, Naomi quickly is forced to suffer one of the worst deaths in the game’s history, the death of her best friend Seiko. It’s later reviled that Naomi is the sole cause of Seiko’s death. First believed to be a suicide, through found footage Naomi is seen to be killing Seiko by forcing her to hang herself. Upon learning this, not only does Naomi suffer from immense guilt for killing her best friend, but continues to suffer the reality of losing her best friend when she goes home.
Due to Heavenly Host’s curse, no one remembers that Seiko ever existed, causing for Naomi having to be medicated by her mother and seeing multiple therapists, all telling her that it’s just in her head.

…

Despite the horrific nature of the games, anime, manga, and movies have been created to add to the game’s lore and to provide fan service to hardcore fanatics. Luckily enough, some of the manga titles were created by Makoto Kedouin himself so his titles can be seen as canon material that never made it into the game. On the other hand are the anime and movies, which show alternated endings of the game as their final ending. In many cases, the episodes include fan service, false relationships, more horrific endings, and killing off of main characters that normally would be protected. Horror porn, essentially.
In the movie’s case, horror is replaced with a need to make everything jump scare and focusing on the main villains without pointing out just how scary there are. For whatever reason they are made, the movies waste no time bringing more attention to the franchise.

…

Due to the graphic nature and the need to protect its citizens from such amounts of violence and horrific themes within the game, China’s Ministry of Culture has decided to ban the game completely from the country, as well as 37 other anime and manga. The Ministry of Culture was dissolved in March 2018 and replaced the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, so records of the exact list and wither the anime and manga are still banned have become harder to find.

Movie Review

Settling:

Detective Pikachu created a city that really reminds me of the city of San Fransokyo from Big Hero 6. The creators really went in-depth when it came to making a world that looked like any major city in Japan, with a mix of an urban city vibe. It really looked like an advanced city, but with everything going up. A detail that might go unnoticed for example in the movie is that all of the cars in the movie are Japanese or of Japanese design with the driver’s side on the left instead of the right.

Story/Plot:

The overall plot of the movie was great, but unfortunately, there’s a lot of plotholes that can be found. The movie is an hour and 44 minutes long. I think the editors who make the final cut of the film should have spared more time making sure that the flow of the movie was more on point, rather than keeping it under a two-hour limit. Otherwise, there was nothing too special about the story for this movie. It felt more like a movie that happened to have Pokémon, than a Pokémon movie.

Pokémon:

All of the Pokémon regardless of how much time they got to spend on the big screen looked amazing! Video game movies get a bad rap whenever a movie is made about them. Nothing has been good for years, maybe since the movie Tomb Raider came out, and modern-day reboots or creations have fallen on their face again and again. Take Assassin’s Creed, for example, a fantastic gaming series still in the works, with a disgusting movie now tied to it. Detective Pikachu, luckily, doesn’t join these ranks. Everything from the texture, the movement, even how they attack shows that the most important part of this movie’s creation was making sure that all of our stars looked their best.

I never really know what to mark when it comes to filling out ethnicity reports. I look brown on the outside, sure, but that’s about the closest tie I have to any Latin heritage.

My family is very traditional, especially those close to the nearest branches. My grandmother came to America in the 50s and off the sweat of her back made a life for my mother and uncles. She struggled with it so much that she ended up having to put my mother in a nunnery for the nuns to take care of her. They were American and I think this part, this event of putting my mother in a nunnery, is what changed her into who she is today.

My mother left the nunnery in time to start high school at 14. She wasn’t able to attend for very long because soon she had to be married. Keeping with tradition, she had to marry the man that dishonored her in order for our family not to be shamed.

I don’t know if this started her root of hatred. If this man made my mother ashamed of who she was, my family, my entire background, but by the time she had left, and met my father, she had decided to ban everything about Mexico from our lives.

My father is Cuban and had to flee Cuba in 1994-1995 or face being killed. The organization that sponsored him ended up bringing him to Minnesota where my mother was working as a Spanish translator. Funny, because she can’t write in Spanish at all. My father ended up falling in love with her and within two years they were married and my sister and I were born.

My mother picked up a few things in Minnesota before she left to go to Spokane with my father. First, she decided to become a Lutheran. Fine enough. And then she picked up the Norwegian heritage and culture and brought the pieces she liked with us.

By the time we settled in Spokane, my mother had taught my father English and then gagged him from telling me and my sister anything about Cuba and to keep from speaking Spanish around us. She took her newfound culture and found another church that also had Norwegian families within it. Now, we were Norwegians.

Time to add in our exchange students. By the age of three, I went from hearing English, misspoken Spanish, and Japanese within my house. Added in by hearing some Norwegian every other week at church and mixing all of the words together in some kind of understandable language of my home.

My mother was furious the day that I came home in 2nd grade with a book in Spanish. My teachers had decided to enroll me in an ESL program without my parents’ consent. My mother yelled at the school district for days, but in the end, they ended up putting me in a tiny room with another girl, trying to get us to say elephant correctly for an hour.

Things got so much harder when it came to holidays. At my church, we would be making lefse and ranting on about how bad lutefisk smells when it’s being cooked. No one else had that. What was an American Christmas? What was mine?

It really sucks to stop and wonder some days what it really means to be of a culture. Majority of the Norwegian stuff I was taught involved just food and different saints to worship. The Japanese side had all of my manners, how I should treat people, how to clean, and food as always. And then there’s the Mexican and Cuban side. A side so detached that I have no form of any accent at all, know a limited amount of Spanish that I picked up from hearing my father and others around me swear and demand things from me. The most Latin thing I have about me is just my skin. A face that I can’t change and too many cultures that I can balance with.

I’ve tried learning Spanish, I’ve tried to make Latin food, and none of it seems to fit. It’s like I have all of the wrong pieces or that I’m just the wrong frame to fit those pieces anymore.

I can’t call myself Japanese. My knowledge is only limited to what I can learn now and whatever popular media I can find now. I can’t call myself Norwegian because if anything, my experience with this culture has just been stolen and altered to fit my parents’ parties. Latin? Can I really be when the only thing I have tied to this culture is just blood, skin, and the bones in my face? I have no contact with my family in Mexico and the ones in Cuba are dead. It’s like my connection has just been floating this whole time and I haven’t figured out where to land yet.

I guess, for now, the only thing that I can be, is American.

         1. I remember a Cuban family long ago that my father used to take us to. They had also just come from Havana, but we had to leave because the grandfather of the family kept trying to grab my sister and I and then give us candy to keep quiet. Luckily nothing ever happened, but my father only needed to see him try once to get us to leave forever.
2. Rico
   1. P. 28
      1. I knew he didn’t have a car, but it made no difference to the girls he left with, even if they had to pay their own fare.
         1. I remember watching and hearing stories about these kinds of girls. The ones that just follow men because they believe that the sex they’ll get will be better than anything they have to go through to get to that point.
   2. P. 31
      1. It wasn’t the first time Tommy had yelled at Rico for losing control, for fighting instead of sparring.
         1. It may not seem like that big of a deal until you hear of wrestlers accidentally killing their opponents dead in the ring with one blow.
   3. P. 33
      1. “White girls,” I finally said. “Specially blondes, tall…don’t mess with ’em now, ‘ceptin Sammy Davis.”
         1. I get that in this situation they’re just joking around, but so many of those blondes only sleep with them just as a checkmark, rather than a relationship.
3. The Second Room
   1. P. 39
      1. Taky carried out his mentor’s wishes, like the decision…commercial, just the way Bruce wanted.
         1. I like this format. Having a school exist to be there, rather than to be for money or showing off just how amazing they are.
   2. P. 40
      1. His opponent became a cop who later found…and killed again, Jesus’s presence notwithstanding.

      1. Rookies were prey-numerous, nervous…figured, was a small price to pay just to be there.
         1. As a dancer, I know a lot of the time the low ranked or beginner dancers would be harassed or given more pressure from their senior dancers abusing them. Sometimes it’s out of love. “Let me show me what the dance world is like.” Others, it’s just pain.

      1.  “Worms and stink bait, boy,” the old man… no one can say it don’ work.”

      1. “Fine bitch, too,” he said. “Right here in her…Buddy, ever get an older woman?”
         1. I don’t know if I will ever understand these men that brag about every experience they have ever had. Like they’re proud of having a tally sheet. Not to mention wanting to be with every woman, regardless of relationship.
   3. P. 63
      1. “Listen to yo’sef talk, man,” he said evenly. “Can’ even say it right. You soun’ like a damn white man.”

      1. “But they got no right to judge me,” he continued…least not yet, least not to my face…”

      1. “Damn,” he sighed. “A fuckin’ virgin, man,” he whispered. “Died a teenage, fuckin’ virgin.”
         1. I always found it stupid for some countries to use virginity as a way to determine if someone has become an adult or not. So many other actions account for more than sex.
   3. P. 72
      1. His GI Bill covered tuition plus provided a stipend, not much, but enough to buy more time away from hell.
         1. My brother-in-law plans on doing this soon. Not because he has served, but because he would rather have the government pay for him than save up money or get student loans.

      1. But the pomade was gone, not needed-his hair curved backward without it, a victim of persistent training.

   3. P. 84
      1. It’s Filipino custom to take pictures of the dead. And in my own experience, I’ve seen more pictures of doorknobs than living relatives.

7. The Wedding
   1. P. 91
      1. Sleep light, he said, they were leaving early tomorrow-asparagus crew, destination Walla Walla.
         1. Walla Walla is part of the Tri-cities and one of the worse cities to travel through. I’m not sure if that’s because of gangs or the rumors of an extreme immigrant population.

      1. So one day Leo took his case to my…romance would have to run its course.
         1. My uncle got married in his 30s to a woman that he believed loved him and wanted to make a family together. It was only after they were married that he learned that she had had her tubes tied before the wedding.

      1. In our yard, in the middle of the city, it lived quietly until it (now clearly a male) flaunted its emerging sense of gender with a sunrise solo.
         1. I raised chickens growing up and they loved to squawk in the morning. At one point, someone had called Animal Control to try and find them, so we had to keep them caged up and covered for a week or so and then let them lose again.
8. A Manong’s Heart
   1. P. 106
      1. “Too much heart,” he said. “A Boeing 707.” “But no skill,” he sighed. “Not enough, anyway.”
         1. I remember hearing some of this in my dance community. People who want more than anything to dance, but lack the timing or coordination to perform them correctly.
   2. P. 109
      1. From Dad and Kikoy and my other uncles, I learned their Depression stories, where doughnuts and coffee or fish-head soup were the best, sometimes only, meal of the day.
         1. I’ve heard of new restaurants popping up now that offer fish head soup as a niche dish “seasonal special,” and yet in this story, that might have just been enough to get them going for the day, instead of a dare or fancy night out.
   3. P. 110
      1. For them, America’s promise-made in village schools-was broken. America the untrue.
         1. I remember the day that I was walking past a classroom that had Marshallese only students in it. They were learning about the US and its history and how shocked they were to hear that this land once belonged to someone else. That the US was not as peaceful and as pleasant as they believed.
9. Stephie
   1. P. 116 – 117
      1. “Bored.” She shrugged. “He was a tax attorney, a good one, at a…his townhouse and that nice chunk of settlement cash.”
         1. I hate women like this so much. you marry a guy, have a good life, and then leave him because you got bored? Don’t you mean comfortable? To have money and be bored is a good thing, that way you can afford to go find adventure, not to scrape it off and see the next bridge you can jump off of.
   2. P. 121
      1. “Mom said to give you up and marry this guy,” she said. “She liked you well enough, but she said you had no future.”
         1. You can’t blame your parents for your choices. Even when your parents give you positive or negative advice, it is YOUR actions that count the most.
   3. P. 122
      1. Truth or dare. I chose to abstain.
         1. Even though he’s happy to be with Stephie now, he was still wearing the ring for some reason. If his wife still is in the picture or not matters.
10. A Matter of Faith
    1. P. 123
       1. Uncle Kikoy, I knew, was just the first…that’s all we do. All the oldtimers, our friends.”
          1. I remember having this same feeling for a few years growing up. All of my mother’s friends were so much older and they all started to die suddenly or get very sick.
    2. P. 127
       1. “Forget it,” he said. “From one Flip to another…Go on. If you’re like me, you owe ‘im.”

    3. P. 128
       1. As I hurried toward the twin elevator…know,” I added, “like the folks who work here.”
          1. I find it to be so strange every time I meet someone in the hospital that isn’t kind or compassionate working there. It’s like they’re not human or detach themselves so much from their job that they don’t feel anymore.
    4. 129
       1. “Can’t,” she said. “Body’s gone; moved it an hour ago.” She paused. “There’s nothing more to do.”
          1. My father found out that his grandmother was sick and in the hospital. He stayed in Washington rather than flying down to Florida to see her. A few days later when my mother returned, who went in his place, she was back in the hospital again. This time, especially since no one could make the trip down so fast, he ended up finding out over the phone that she had passed a few minutes before my mother found the hospital she was in.
11. Dancer
    1. P. 133
       1. They’d seemed so full of strange, forbidden things…by one of Hitler’s senior advisers.
          1. Even as a historical item, why would someone want to buy something that belonged to a Nazi?
    2. P. 137
       1. After that, she figured her current job, as an exotic…hookin’; plus, Baby Brother, I’m good, real good.”
          1. While still a hard profession, dancing is just short of hooking and a lot of the time, the dancers fall into hooking for more money.
    3. P. 140
       1. “Buddy, she said softly. “One more thing. You ain’t seen me. This…”Okay.” ” Cross your heart, Buddy.”

    1. P. 145

       1. Over the years I grew closer to him in an odd, indirect…first one. We’re even; I cried at his funeral.
          1. A father who showed he cared in some many ways, except in front of him.

In my research paper, I plan to cover the psychology of adolescents brains after being exposed to graphic and disturbing information. Using the game franchise Corpse Party as my sample point, I will examine the franchise and create a list of the experiences that account between characters.

So far on my list of experiences include:

• Finding human remains
• Finding bodily fluids from a corpse
• Witnessing a death
• Suicide
• Life-or-death situations
• Fight-flight-freeze situations
• Abandonment
• Hallucinations, visual and audible
• Mass hysteria
• Suicide notes or last wills

My hope for this paper is to examine how an adolescent would react once exposed to this franchise. Would they crave for more gruesome horror or would they be scarred for life? My exploration plans to span from the US to Japan, the franchise’s home country, as well to examine the reasoning why the franchise is banned in different countries around the world.

Included in my paper will be links, clips, and images contacting the graphic content listed above for explanation purposes, as well as any supporting documents used in the franchise and research articles detailing similar, examines across different games and genres.

The first half of my paper will detail the world of Corpse Party. The stories origins, including the creator of the game, and how the story has morphed into what it is. Followed by the graphic nature of each game, the content that is encountered, and the ages of the characters to gauge the development of their brains.

The second half of my paper will devel into the psychology of an affected mind to this trauma, but first and second hand. First-hand experience will detail the characters themselves within the game, how they have evolved throughout the franchise and their mental state at the end of the game. Second-hand experience will detail how players and watchers of the game were affected by the sound, imagery, storyline, and overall content of since a game. This will cover not only US experiences, but Japan. This is especially necessary since the demand for a translation has increased the franchise’s popularity.

“Bollywood and Beyond.” A Brief History of India, by Judith E. Walsh, 2nd ed., Checkmark Books, 2011, pp. 277–282.

The name Bollywood is a play on words from the U.S. film industry, Hollywood. The B comes from the city of Bombay (modern-day Mumbai), which is the center of the Indian film world.

From 1920 – 1945, most films that were released in India were either mythological or historical. The film Alam Ara was the first to feature sound in 1931, causing the number of films being made to skyrocket, increasing by hundreds as years went by. With the release of Kisan Kanya, the first color film in 1937, animation started to come to the big screen along with a rise in ticket sells. Between 1947 – 1950, filmmakers started to focus on social issues since as; lower classes, the dowry system, polygamy and, prostitution.

In the 1960s, director Manmohan Desai brought in a new wave of movies called Masala films, which are a mixture of action, comedy, romance, and drama or melodrama. These films are musicals and have five to six song sequences and at least three dance numbers still used in contemporary films today. The songs and dances make the films popular outside of the Hindi language for all Indian viewers. The music was seen as studio art and performed by “playback singers” who did vocals while the actors mouthed the words on screen.

Only a small number of musicians work on film songs. Bollywood’s “star system” keeps a small number of producers, directors, and singers, from working on films. Fewer than 70 “stars,” have been involved in films since the 1940s. Because of this lack of featured actors, creators, and the amount of fees it costs to make a film, it can sometimes take up to three years to produce a single film. Each star can be working on up to 50 films at a time.
