* FauxShadowing: For a great part of the game Yuka has to pee, and the first level while playing as Naomi, you find a bucket with a stinky yellow liquid, but when you get to play as Satoshi and Yuka the same bucket is empty. It has been explained that all of you are scattered in difference "layers" of the school with its own time and space, meaning that their past could be your future. In Naomi's layer someone has peed in the bucket, while in Satoshi no one has and Yuka has to pee; puting two and two together, you realize that the solution for "Yuka's Quest" is the bucket. [[spoiler:It's not. The only bathroom that is used for its purpose is just before the climax, and if you used it you get a bad ending.]]

Excess space on spoiler tags


* ContinuityNod / CanonWelding: Starting with ''Book of Shadows'', it became suggested that all endings, true and wrong, of it and its predecessor are canon and represent different timelines and/or timeloops. ''2U'' cemented this, for instance by explicitly stating that Kishinuma, one of the five survivors, has already died a couple of times. Because this game was not localized outside of Japan, it was ''Blood Drive'' that to most people established the multichronical nature of Heavenly Host. ''Blood Drive'' actually went further by incorporating elements from the ''Tortured Souls'' OVA and the Naho-centric supplementary manga, drama cds, and light novel. [[spoiler: There's even reason to suspect ''Blood Drive'' is a different timeline than ''Blood Covered'', for instance because the latter had Matsudo as Yui Shishido's replacement and the former Kuon Niwa. At the end of ''Blood Drive'', all timelines are reunited into one]].
