*** To KickTheDog further, [[spoiler:a non-possessed Naomi later finds her hanging and tries to save her, but fails. Regardless of whether you have Naomi kiss her in the optional dream scene in the infirmary or not, Seiko begins to cry, claiming that she doesn't wanna say die. Even after this, she forgives Naomi and tells her to go on... and then, because she died in Heavenly Host, nobody else remembers her. It's worse in ''Book of Shadows'' where she actually does confess her feelings for Naomi, which causes her to run off and consequently get possessed and hang her. Even though Naomi manages to save her this time, when Seiko comes to, she thinks that she's still possessed and runs away in fear, resulting in her getting decapitated by piano wire.]]

* TrappedByMountainLions: One particularly ridiculous sub-plot is Satoshi and Yuka's quest to find her a bathroom so she can go potty. This takes up far too much time, with some bathrooms having no stalls, others with big holes in the way, or their stalls being full of hanged girls, to the point that so much time and trouble would have been saved if she had just peed in a corner somewhere. They even pass an empty bucket several times! [[spoiler:Even more mortifying: that quest to go potty is what ends up separating her from Satoshi and having her stalked by [[AxCrazy Kizami]]. And to top it off, Kizami even kicks Yuka in the gut and she [[PottyFailure loses control of her bladder from the blow]]. [[WhatAnIdiot Many people think it serves her right.]]]]

* WhatAnIdiot:
** Mayu in "Demise." [[spoiler:Being aware of the GroundhogDayLoop and that she died when she entered the infirmary, she decides to keep away from it, especially after seeing the ghost children going inside.]] Later, Mayu notices some weird bruise-like mark on her stomach, but keeps it a secret from Yoshiki. She also notices similar markings on Nana's legs. Later, Nana's legs are chopped off at the same area they were marked. Mayu assumes a similar thing will happen to her given the marks on her stomach. After Nana is taken away by Yoshizaku while still alive, Mayu runs away and into Ayumi and Yoshiki, who ask her about what just happened.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Mayu to tell them the whole story and about the marks on her stomach. Ayumi is somewhat well-versed in the matters of the occult and even if she doesn't know anything about it, they could stick together while trying to find clues. Particularly after it's been already established that being alone in Heavenly Host is ''not'' a good idea.\\
'''Instead:''' Mayu runs away without telling them anything after she notices a similar mark on her cheek.\\
'''Even worse:''' Mayu, for some weird reason, is concerned with her ''personal appearance'' when she's trapped in a GeniusLoci where [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Everything Is Trying to Kill You]], and her reason for running off was that she didn't want anyone to see her like that. So she goes somewhere to try to hide it with makeup. And where does she head to? The ''infirmary''.\\
'''The result:''' She is trapped in the infirmary. And eventually killed by Sachiko and the three children by being ''disembowled''.
** Yuka. She needs to go to the bathroom at one point in Chapter 3 of ''Blood Covered''. She and Satoshi had previously had no luck with any bathrooms they'd found, as they either had no stalls or the stalls were inaccessible.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Yuka to just do it in the corner or in the empty bucket that they passed by many times.\\
'''Instead:''' Yuka keeps holding it in until they find a working toilet. Eventually, she goes to do it in the covered hallway while Satoshi waits at the Second Wing Entrance.\\
'''Even worse:''' The same bucket is passed by many other characters in previous chapters, filled with a yellow, congealing liquid.\\
'''The result:''' Satoshi is spirited away somewhere else and Yuka is now by herself. [[spoiler:And eventually she is stalked by [[AxCrazy Kizami]] and could potentially die in a Wrong End. All because she couldn't do it in the damn corner.]]
** Ayumi in the first chapter of ''Blood Drive''. She wants to go back to Heavenly Host to retrieve the Book of Shadows and try to revive her friends once again. She asks Yoshiki for help and he, after a DeclarationOfProtection, throws out of the window and under a steamroller the stones that would allow Ayumi to go back, stating that going back without a plan is suicide. Ayumi runs off angrily, finds the stones and Misuto approaches her again, stating he is an ally of hers, an apprentice of her sister, and that he can take her to Heavenly Host. Yoshiki catches up, tries retrieving the stones back from Ayumi after she refuses to give them to him, and promptly gets sent flying to the wall by Misuto's paranormal powers. \\
'''You'd Expect:''' Ayumi to, if she can't let go of her desire to bring her friends back to life, at least put it on hold and properly think of a plan of action before she sets off to Heavenly Host, as Yoshiki pointed out moments ago. After all, the times she tried to dive into something without properly doing her research turned out ''badly''. And also, of course, ''not'' trust the guy who invaded her room twice and severely injured Yoshiki, had no evidence to back up the things he was saying, had an attitude that just screamed ObviouslyEvil, and did nothing to show Ayumi that he could be trusted. \\
'''Instead:''' Ayumi ''goes with a complete stranger to Heavenly Host'', believing he'll have her back on this.\\
'''The result:''' Ayumi finds herself completely alone in Heavenly Host, is immediately chased by [[spoiler:Mayu's murderous spirit]], and is ambushed by what amounts to Yoshikazu 2.0 while she's unable to run away. If things didn't turn out the way they did, Ayumi would have died right there. \\
[[spoiler:'''Even worse:''' Said stranger turns out to be the BigBad who, with Ayumi's help, obtains a new Book of Shadows and uses it to murder all of her friends.]]

** There are a ton that are considered this, but special mention goes to [[spoiler:Seiko and Mayu. Mayu for getting killed off with little characterization and Seiko for dying in the first chapter of both ''Blood Covered'' and ''Book of Shadows'', as a lot of fans found her more interesting than Yuka (for example).

* EsotericHappyEnding: ''Blood Drive''[='s=] ending for some fans. [[spoiler:Despite all of the events that happened, the only achievement was restoring the memories of those who died at Heavenly Host and releasing their souls from their eternal torment, not resurrecting them as some trailers suggested was the main point of the game. This was at the cost of Ayumi being erased from all of her friends' memories except for Yoshiki, who chose to stay with her. Fans also argue that, despite the fact that the survivors may have found some closure, this ending feels empty, as most of them didn't even get to say goodbye to their friends (especially in Seiko's case)]]. Not to mention the fact that [[spoiler:the Nirvana was only sealed away, not destroyed, which borders on FridgeHorror. If Ayumi - who has become a catatonic vegetable as a result of consuming the Nirvana - dies, it will be unleashed again, making a ton of fans feel that the whole effort was rather pointless]]. AscendedFridgeHorror comes in when ''[[VideoGame/CorpseParty2DeadPatient Dead Patient]]'' reveals that [[spoiler:the events in the hospital appear to have been caused by the Nirvana]], which only worsens the feeling. The fact that ''Blood Drive'' was supposed to be the GrandFinale of the Heavenly Host trilogy disappointed many fans and reduced the status of it.

'''You'd Expect:''' Ayumi to, if she can't let go of her desire to bring her friends back to life, at least put it on hold and properly think of a plan of action before she sets off to Heavenly Host, as Yoshiki pointed out moments ago. After all, the times she tried to dive into something without properly doing her research turned out ''badly''. And also, of course, ''not'' trust the guy that invaded her room twice and severely injured Yoshiki, had no evidence to back up the things he was saying, had an attitude that just screamed ObviouslyEvil, and did nothing to show Ayumi that he could be trusted. \\

* BizarroEpisode: ''Corpse Party -THE ANTHOLOGY- Sachiko's Game of Love ♥ Hysteric Birthday 2U''.

** ''Book of Shadows'' marked an increase in supplementary material that wasn't just adaptations of the games. By far most of it is material concerning Naho Saenoki and her supernatural dealings prior to Heavenly Host. While it does a good job at world-building, it's not required material for the games. Even ''2U'' didn't require knowledge of supplementary material. Come ''Blood Drive'', however, and suddenly it ''is'' required to be familiar with non-game material. Or at least you'll feel like you're missing something if you're not. This is one thing for the Japanese audience who are poked to pay outside their signed-up-for medium, but pretty much everyone else can't even get the material because it isn't localized (this includes ''2U'' itself). Fan translations have caught the blow somewhat, at least.

** Surprisingly, the first chapter of ''Blood Covered'' can be this. There is one wrong end that happens at the very end of the chapter that can only be avoided by reading a specific newspaper that the game specifically warns you ''not'' to read in a room that the game warns you ''not'' to enter. Worse still, the ending itself has no logical connection with the newspaper at all, so there's nothing cluing you in on where you went wrong. And on top of that, every other time the game warns you not to read something, you ''have'' to heed the advice to avoid a Wrong End.
** The chase sequence inside the infirmary is perhaps one of the most difficult in the game, as it takes place in a small room with parts of the floor that give in when approached, causing you to easily get cornered. It's the only sequence where running into your assailant only chips away at your HP rather than causing an instant dead end, but still.
** The fifth chapter can be this for the same reasons as the first. At one point you find Naho's notebook and the rest of her notes can be found throughout the floors. If you have both parties meet up on the third floor before finding all five notes and confronting Naho in the Reference Room, then you'll end up in a Wrong End. The game doesn't hint at any moment that you need all five notes to progress and Naho's notebook is also pretty easy to miss in the PSP version (The PC version has cutscenes showing where the next page appears after collecting each one, as well as a scene where Naho is entering the Reference Room, all of which were not in the PSP release). [[spoiler:And then there's the Kizami chase. You have to run through the Second Wing to lose Kizami and find a key to unlock the entrance. Only the key is on the same spot Sachiko is seen. This can screw over players because the game constantly tells you to avoid Sachiko as soon as she's sighted.]]

** While Ayumi is very popular in Japan and China according to the same poll, fans from America take issue with how despicable she is under the effects of the Darkening (it does not help that Ayumi has the bad habit of being possessed at ''exactly'' the wrong time), and for her tendency to run recklessly into dangerous situations (or even ''cause'' them with her lack of thinking). Furthermore, while she was the 5th most popular character (thereby the [[DamnedByFaintPraise least-liked]] of the original five) in the first game, her [[TooDumbToLive increasingly stupid]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] actions in the sequels caused her popularity in the west to nose-dive. She's TheLoad for most of ''Blood Covered'' due to being possessed so often, which leads to the player having to tread ''very carefully'' to avoid getting a Wrong End. The fact that she ''started'' the whole thing by [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom casting a spell she found on a blog without thinking about it]] wouldn't have been too bad (since she had no way of knowing the consequences) but her [[IgnoredEpiphany complete refusal]] to think about what she's doing only causes more suffering to the entire cast.

** Played straight with the phantoms and environmental damage in ''Blood Drive''. Players take less offense at the implementation of these ideas as the quantity. With phantoms in particular, unless the player has a talisman to extinguish them, they can be difficult to shake off as they progress through areas, due to the phantoms being relentless. Not even hiding in a closet to escape from them is completely reliable either.

The fact that she also has romantic feelings for Satoshi, [[BrotherSisterIncest her own brother]], is another huge black mark against her in America but is another a reason she is [[ValuesDissonance liked in the East]]; in one Wrong End, she will confess her feelings to Satoshi as she dies, guilting many disgusted players into lying that they love her so [[LetThemDieHappy she can die happy]] (although just as many [[TakeThatScrappy refuse to do so]]).

** Seiko's line about buttering her pooper. Try having a discussion that involves her at all without somebody bringing that up. Also from Seiko - "Gotta grab dat ass".

** In ''Blood Drive'', we have from the finale:[[spoiler:the [=CG=] of Ayumi and the Queen kissing, often known as "Lesbian kisses save the world". And Ayushiki (because the pairing was pretty much made official in the ending- in one of the worst possible ways)]].

** One of ''Blood Drive''[='s CGs=] has Magari hold up a scythe against Naho and states that she's always wanted to kill her. In response, Naho holds up...a single spell tag. Once you get past how out of place it is for the series, it's pretty funny for how silly it is, despite the game playing it completely seriously.

** ''Blood Drive'' loves narrating everything that happens on-screen. It gets hilariously bad during [[spoiler: Misuto's death scene, where we clearly see his head being chopped off]], alongside the narrator describing the whole thing as if the screen went black or something.
* NauseaFuel: See the series's [[NightmareFuel/CorpseParty Nightmare Fuel]] page for details and overlapping entries.
* NeverLiveItDown: In ''Blood Drive'', [[spoiler:Misuto's death]] tends to be the most remembered part about the character, due to how unintentionally ridiculous it ends up coming across. [[spoiler:He stands around as Satsuki's head opens to reveal her flower "mouth" and she snarls at him, eating his head and leaving his chibi sprite spraying a fountain of blood. Not to mention the game narrating the whole event as if the player was blind or something.]]

*** The drop that filled the glass for a ton of fans was when, in Blood Drive, [[spoiler:it's explained that the Nirvana/Heavenly Host can only sealed ''temporarily'', not destroyed, and the ending makes it VERY clear that the Nirvana will eventually break loose again to cause the apocalypse and bring eternal suffering to anybody it catches]]. Fans no longer found a reason to even keep going with the series, as everything just got ''WORSE'' instead of better.

** The live-action adaptations are also criticized for the first movie [[spoiler:having the basic plot and ending almost like the OVA]] and the sequel ''Book of shadows'' for [[spoiler:barely trying anything new apart from keeping Seiko alive longer, and making the already bleak ending even worse by leaving Naomi as the SoleSurvivor (and even then, she's heavily implied to have not have much time left).]]

* TrappedByMountainLions: One particularly ridiculous sub-plot was Satoshi's and Yuka's quest to find her a bathroom so she could go potty. This takes up far too much time, with some toilets having no stalls, others with big holes in the way, or their stalls being full of hanged girls, to the point that so much time and trouble would have been saved if she had just peed in a corner somewhere. They even pass an empty bucket several times! [[spoiler:Even more mortifying: that quest to go potty is what ends up separating her from Satoshi and having her stalked by [[AxCrazy Kizami]]. And to top it off, Kizami even front-kicks Yuka in the gut and she [[PottyFailure loses control of her bladder from the blow]]. [[WhatAnIdiot Many people think it serves her right.]]]]
