History WMG / NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors

'''Zero:''' ''[gasses him again, accidentally overdosing him and wiping his memories]'' Fatty!

Ace: Well, while we don't have the right map to illustrate this, I believe that behind door 1 is the Bridge or Captain's Quarters. It seems to be a good location for it anyway.
Junpei: The Captain's... You mean Zero?!
Ace: Of course. It's a worthwhile possibility in any case...

9th Man: Also no clue.

[[WMG: Gordain's game was a [[TheWorldEndsWithYou Reapers' Game]] ]]

Why else would he [[spoiler: build a death trap for a ship, kidnap 18 children, and set up the Nonary Game to test the Morphogenetic Field, if he couldn't even access it?]]

** The sequel took place around 2029, 2 years after 999.

[[WMG: June is [[{{Ever17}} B.W.]]]]

* [[spoiler:By honing her ability to interact with the morphogenic field, she eventually discards her physical body, leading her to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence and becoming a 4-dimensional being who would later be named [[{{Ever 17}} Blick Winkel.]] ]]

** The sequel took place around 2029, 2 years after 999.

That is why they specifically named them [[{{Yotsuba}} Yotsuba]] and [[spoiler:[[DeathNote Light]]]].

* Except that Snake was already eighteen years old when Death Note was published, and Clover was 12 when Yotsuba was published. At least, assuming the game takes place around the time it was released, which the pop culture references strongly imply. (Junpei quoting ''TheDarkKnight'' means the game couldn't have taken place any earlier than 2008.)

That is why they specifically named them [[{{Yotsuba}} Yotsuba]] and [[spoiler:[[DeathNote Light]]]].

That is why they specifically named them {{Yotsuba}} and [[spoiler:[[DeathNote Light]] ]].

That is why they specifically named them [[{{Yotsuba&!}} Yotsuba]] and [[spoiler:[[DeathNote Light]] ]].

That is why they specifically named them [[Manga/Yotsuba&! Yotsuba]] and [[spoilers:[[DeathNote Light]] ]].

That is why they specifically named them [[{{Manga/Yotsuba&!}} Yotsuba]] and [[spoilers:[[DeathNote Light]] ]].

* Her capture by Hongou was necessary to unlock her kool powerz, and, by extension, to save the world and continue the chain of esper stewards. (Unknown Esper awakens June, who awakens Phi, ensuring the world's continued safety from things like Radical-6.) June's retrieval of the trinket seems like too random a variable to be left up to chance.

[[spoiler:[[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111111050235/ninehourspersonsdoors/images/6/65/Lotus_ace_hostage_1.png Look at this picture and tell me you can't see the resemblance.]]]]

[[spoiler:16 children were reported kidnapped but the Nonary Game had 18 participants. I believe it was Seven and Santa who say Aoi and Akane were orphans but Seven would only know that by asking the children. Other things suggest they aren't orphans too. Aoi is dressed as someone from a private school. Junpei also knew Akane as a child and it didn't mention anything about her being an orphan (with seemingly no one to report her disappearance) which would be a pretty big deal. Even orphans have people looking after them. The only way they could have been snatched was if they were homeless (in which case they were some well groomed school attending homeless kids who apparently had very uncaring teachers) or if the one doing the snatching was the one looking after them. Ace wouldn't recognise them years later due to his prospagnosia and even Snake said Aoi's voice has changed. It would also explain why they couldn't bring themselves to kill Ace or have him kill himself despite it being clear he is the one they hate the most. I think this theory fits very well and makes the scene in the incinerator all that more heart breaking. The only thing to disprove this theory from what I can see is Akane's surname...Maybe their mother did die and they took her name out of respect/dislike of their uncaring father.

** Plenty. 'Can you fit your key in the door' 'It really is bigger on the inside'[[hottip:*: don't think too much about it or you'll think up a dozen disturbing possibilities]] and the obvious 'let's go for a ride'.

[[WMG: Gordain's game was a reapers game]]

[[WMG: June is B.W.]]

And Cradle is an offshoot from Leibleich Pharmaceutical.

[[WMG: New characters]]
* Phi- Santa's daughter
* Sigma- Ninth Guy's son
* Old Guy- ?
* Jumpsuit masked guy- Seven(???)
* Alice lookalike- Seven/Lotus's (Just Lotus?) daughter
** The Alice lookalike seems like it ''will'' be the "Alice" that appeared in the end of game one. It will probably explain whether she is in fact an ancient mummy or whatever.
** It has been said that her body is composed of Ice-9, so this can be considered [[WordOfGod confirmed.]]
* Magician Guy- ?
* Blond Boy- Old guy's grandson (This one is confirmed)
** Apparently not. A newer trailer said they weren't really related, but hang out together.
* Pink Hair- Somehow related to clover
** [[WordOfGod Confirmed]] to be Clover herself.
* Redhead woman- ?

[[WMG: New character expies]]

Sigma- Junpei\\
Jumpsuit masked guy- Seven\\
Alice lookalike- Lotus\\
Pink Hair- Clover\\
Redhead woman- Akane\\
\\
The characters of the first game were developed to distort what you would expect them to be by their appearances and mannerisms. These characters, in suit, will have opposite personalities to the expied characters.

[[WMG: Luna (the orange-haired woman) is a {{Yangire}}]]
"Not really what she seems to be, according to some rumors."

[[WMG: Luna is a RedHerring.]]
In the anime promo, the camera notably lingers on her when Sigma asks "Who would do such a thing?" While she will turn out to have her secrets, she ''won't'' be responsible for the new Nonary Game -- instead, she exists to make players think [[spoiler:she's an {{Expy}} of Akane]].

[[WMG: Junpei is Zero the 3rd]]
The bunny motif, the betrayal theme of the third Nonary Game, it all seems to point to him.
* [[spoiler: {{Jossed}}.]]

[[WMG: Clover will be unsaveable in ''Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die''.]]
As an unescapable PlayerPunch.
* Alternately, saving her will be ''[[GuideDangIt very difficult]]'', and typically involve a SadisticChoice.

[[WMG: K is Ace.]]
Thank about it, what better way is there to [[spoiler:punish the creator of the original Nonary Game]] than to have him participate in another, similar game? You know, while I'm at it...
* {{Jossed}}. K is [[spoiler:A Sigma clone.]]

[[WMG: K is one of the 9 people from 999, barring Clover or The 9th man.]]
Because why else would they put in a character who has amnesia, and whose face is hidden?
* {{Jossed}}. See above.

[[WMG: Zero-3 will change ''depending on the ending''.]]
It's a stretch, but it would be interesting.
* {{Jossed}}. Its the same person every time.

[[WMG: The funyarinpa will make another appearance]]
Simply because it's too good a line to waste.

[[WMG: The next game will suggest that June is pulling the strings.]]
And it will turn out to be just a cruel tease by the writers to make us think that Junpei had actually found her.

[[WMG: The ecchi promo game will somehow be plot relevant.]]
Maybe Zero 3's motivation is simply to see Clover's breasts?

[[WMG: ''Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die'' will lack a GoldenEnding.]]
There may be a ''True'' Ending among all the MultipleEndings, but there won't be a single GoldenPath that leads to an unambigiously happy ending where everyone gets saved. Instead, the endings will either be bittersweet or complete downers. The player will be faced with unavoidable {{Sadistic Choice}}s no matter what they do.

[[WMG: Aksys WILL localize Good People Die, and has just been screwing with us.]]
Recently, the following quote appeared at the end of a post on the Aksys main page:
"Bonus: You might want to pick up the next Nintendo Power, on stands on 2/28, for a very special announcement....."
I'm thinking this might be the announcement that they are going to go ahead and localize it. I mean, they do still have that mystery game in the fall, and they know the demand is there... (A man can dream, can't he?)
* Sweet Nonary Jones, CONFIRMED!

[[WMG: The characters in the sequel will also be based on the Enneagram.]]
Tenmyouji is a Reformer (1), K is a Helper (2), Dio is an Achiever (3), Alice is an Individualist (4), Quark is an Investigator (5), Clover is (again) a Loyalist (6), Sigma is an Enthusiast (7), Phi is a Challenger (8) and Luna is a Peacemaker (9).

[[WMG: K is Zero, but he doesn't know it.]]
He wanted to play his own game, so he gave himself amnesia.
* [[spoiler:Sorta confirmed. He's a clone of Zero-3.]]

And he'll have a dark fetish. Gas Mask sex, ahoy!
