Aoki Shuen (Blue Demise) route is stated as an alternate universe to Death Mark's true canon route, although I think there are several elements in it that could still be relevant in later installments of the franchise.
Namely:
- The Golden Gun: This is a gun crafted by Rose, as stated by herself in Aoki Shuen, given to Mashita, which can kill both humans and spirits. There isn't any mention of this weapon in canon route yet, but we know Rose does exist, so high chance is, the golden gun does exist too.
- White Mary: As of fundraiser's exclusive DLC of Death Mark 2, we know the white dress has made its existence in canon route. Whether this will lead to Master of the Mark's appearance or not is undecided.
- Hyakki Yakyo (Night of Hundred Demons' Parade) phenomenon: Mentioned in Red Riding Hood DLC and explained a bit in Aoki Shuen as a record of supernatural phenomenon involving grotesque dolls, now explained in Mary's New Color DLC further, concluding that all the events in the three games (Death Mark 1, NG and Death Mark 2) are all Hyakki Yakyo. This would eventually bring up the question as to where or whom the dolls originated from.
- The ability to create doll with soul: Practically, this would be a combination of Yashiki's and Akira's abilities. Maybe they will work together soon.
I had a dream that instead of an anime series, Spirit Hunter was animated into a film series, for Death Mark, NG and completely new side stories.
Both of the casts were there, the visuals and animations were beautiful, creepy and so well made. I can't explain it, but the colours and production quality reminded me of Kara no Kyoukai films. Seeing everyone animated and completely voiced was just -
Did you miss us, Mark Bearers? Up to No Good is officially opening up our interest check for a plausible volume 2 on June 5th! Make sure to spread the word — we're aiming for a physical project this time!
I made Kaoru Hazuki from Spirit Hunter: NG (the sequel to Death Mark, and another sequel is coming SOON AHH) when I was having a really tough time with fatigue, but I still sewed everything but the gloves and socks! I'm particularly happy with the blouse but will definitely be remaking the skirt to fit better!
Wig is by @ligerscout who originally styled it as Rei from Fatal Frame 3 (it's gonna happen someday I SWEAR) but who knew Hazuki had the same haircut?

Hello Mark Bearers! The mod team has decided to postpone SH Zine Volume 2 activities until Death Bite/Death Mark II's localisation is released. There is currently not enough fandom interest to host another zine. Thank you for supporting us.
I love it when horror games have romance subplots like yes babygirl you're so cute when you're being mercilessly tormented by ghosts that are holding your entire family hostage
