** Maybe not, one of the inspirations for the game is Buffy, it could be a similar case, being that the zombie gas is explicitly supernatural, as vampires, where a demonic entity takes over the dead body, it has all the memories and experience of the original human, but the soul is already gone.

** Maybe not, one of the inspirations for the game is Buffy, ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', it could be a similar case, being that the zombie gas is just as explicitly supernatural, supernatural as vampires, where a demonic entity takes over the dead body, it has all the memories and experience of the original human, but the soul is already gone.

** Given its something that seems specifically sold for zombie hunter use, probably other zombie hunters. Who would have far more use for such a device given how many heads they would have on-hand to launch. Otherwise, it could feasibly be used to launch other bundles or items of more or less the same size as a head, and sold to the general populace that way. Like melons or bundled up t shirts.

** Morikawa-sensei's spirit also implies that there's some kind of universal power at play that has a hand in keeping the realms of the dead in balance. And there's clearly some sort of heaven-like afterlife for normal humans. Aside from a few occasional mix-ups, it's at least implied that there might be some universal power out there that would ensure that the good human souls get sorted out from the bad ones so they each go where they're supposed to.

** More likely that the Popper weapon was meant to weaponize severed zombie heads that Juliet would produce in a normal zombie hunt. She just gave it the cheerful nickname "Nick Popper" because that's the kind of person. As for the Nick Shoot, well it's really just a normal motorcycle helmet. Maybe she was hoping to get Nick or herself a motorcycle helmet for normal motorcycle riding, and the same nickname applies.

* During Morikawa's explanation of what is needed to be done to stop [[spoiler: Killabilly,]] he mentions that afterwards all the captured souls would be sent back to Rotten World. The problem is, [[spoiler: there are only five souls actually ''from'' Rotten World, and they already got sent back when Juliet killed them.]] This means that she inadvertently condemned her town, her friends and everyone else she knew to this universe's hell.

* The birthday presents Juliet gets from Sensei Morikawa and her family all make sense considering who they come from: Morikawa gives her the Chainsaw Dash, which opens the way for new zombie hunting moves and lets her make a lot more progress with her techniques and be much faster in taking them down. Since he's her teacher (and probably didn't expect he'd be dying soon), this is his way of furthering her training and abilities. Cordelia gives her a chainsaw upgrade that lets her use it as a gun. Cordelia's a sharpshooter; obviously she'd want Juliet to start learning the techniques of using a firearm. Rosalind gives her the Nick Popper; a large party popper that fires heads. With how goofy Rosalind is, a giant party popper makes a lot of sense. Gideon, her dad, gives her the helmet for Nick Shoot. He may be a badass, but he's still her father, and wanted to give her something for safety - likely not intending it to be used on Nick instead.

* The sequence of boss fights in the game starts with [[TheQuincyPunk Zed]], followed by [[HornyVikings Vikke]], [[HorrorHippies Mariska]], Josey, and finally [[GreaserDelinquents Lewis Legend]]. It's actually a reverse-telling of the history of music - first there was rock n' roll, then over time it evolved into other genres such as metal, psychedelic/acid rock, and punk. And while funk did come after rock n' roll, it wasn't as successful as its more rock-based contemporaries (despite being a better genre than disco). Fittingly, the only way to stop the ZombieApocalypse in the game is to attack its source: Killabilly, or rather, Music/ElvisPresley, one of the most iconic musicians who shaped music itself as we know it today.

* The themes of the other Dark Purveyors are about 8 or 10+ minutes, longer compared to the theme of Lewis Legend, which is 5 minutes. This is based on how rock n' roll songs were pretty short back in the day. Over time, as new genres introduced, songs became even longer, even introducing the concept of rock ballads.

* Juliet talks about having the Nick Popper on her amazon wish list and wanting the helmet for Nick Shoot for a while. Why would she want these things unless she was ''intending to behead Nick sometime soon anyway regardless of zombies?'' Granted, the helmet is useful with having a severed head to stick it on but the Nick Popper is a gun that fires severed heads!
