History Fridge / SkullGirls

* When you play through the story modes for Double and Eliza, you realise something horrible about [[CrystalDragonJesus The Trinity]]: the revered goddesses of this world are actually [[DeityOfHumanOrigin former mortals who somehow ascended to godhood]] centuries ago, and at least two of them was ''killed'' by Eliza. Because of this, they ''hate'' humanity and want to destroy them; they ''created'' the Skullheart and its Skullgirls in hopes of eventually wiping humanity out. Oh, and the Skullheart? Is actually the last mortal remains of "The Mother". So, without even knowing it, humanity is worshiping a set of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s who actively want to kill them all! Talk about VillainWithGoodPublicity...
* How about this: Cerebella is stated as being so "pure at heart" that she could have actually wished on the Skullheart without becoming a Skullgirl. That's right, the girl who ''crushes Ms Fortune to death'' for a mobster is somehow ''purer'' than Filia or Parasol.

** This is supposed by the fact the male characters as of now (Big Band and Beowulf) both oppose the heart instead.

* Extending from the question of whether ''Skullgirls'' is eligible for the GrandUnifiedTimeline (answer: probably not) - judging by the trees in Maplecrest, the game takes place in early autumn. That probably means that Peacock's birthday (November 13th) is coming up. Happy birthday, Peacock - you have to kill your best friend.

* "In a Moment's Time" is a sweet jazz song that initially sounds romantic. Paying closer attention to what the lyrics are implying reveals that the song is actually sung from the ''Skullheart's'' perspective.

* Why would the game be called Skullgirls if there's only one Skullgirl in the game, and she isn't a playable character? [[FridgeBrilliance Fridge Brilliance]] kicks in when you realize that almost every single playable character in the game is a potential Skullgirl due to their wishes being considered "impure" by [[JackassGenie the Skullheart's]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness standards]].

* Double's role in the stories of the DLC character's stories are notable because she is by ''far'' a more active and/or dangerous threat than she is with the core cast, even serving as the Final Boss to Squigly and Annie's stories. That being said, she never even makes an appearance in Umbrella's story mode, which is odd until you remember Umbrella explicitly holds potential to become an even ''more'' powerful [[PersonofMassDestruction Skullgirl]] than even her mother, ''who almost ended the world''. Of course she doesn't interfere, Double WANTS her to get the Skullheart!
* In Annie’s story mode Robo-Fortune says that after fighting Annie she's going to “pursue [her] true objectives” but who says she isn't secretly pursuing one now? After all, one of her objectives was to “master comedic timing” and where better to practice your comedic timing than while filming a TV Show? It helps that she's very jokey during this segment as well, supporting this.

** In terms of Double's ending and her goals as seen in Beowulf's story, She intends to eat everyone who gets in her way or fails to make a wish, and seemingly is absorbing them into herself. This is likely why she can shapeshift into other characters and use their moves and abilities. She's absorbed the fighting prowess and abilities from all the playable characters from every possible bad-end, then moves to the next one. A horrifying abomination that not only has all your strengths but knows she can beat you because she already has!

** Implied nothing, Skullgirls Mobile outright confirmed that Squigly had to fight both her mother and her corrupted father.
* Even more for Squigly, since her fate is horrible. Squigly is trapped in a never-ending loop of violence now. Whenever a new Skullgirl arises, the dead and Squigly rise again, but due to Leviathan she is immune to the Skullgirl's control. Meaning that she must defeat the Skullgirl if she ever wants to rest, but the Skullheart is guaranteed to appear again every 7 years, so it will inevitably awaken her once more and repeat the process forever. And just to make things worse, Squigly's body will continue to degrade over the years until all that is left is a skeleton. There is some solace in that Squigly is the perfect counter to the Skullgirl, and as long as humanity and the Skullheart exists so will Squigly and Leviathan to stop them, though this is a cruel fate to bestow upon a 14 year-old girl who would probably never want this kind of fate.
* When Peacock arrives in Lorenzo Medici's office at the end of her story mode, it's implied that she got there by killing all of the Medici goons that stood in her way. Which quite probably includes Cerebella. In fact there's actually supporting evidence for this - in the shot with Peacock and all her cronies in the ending, she's holding a tattered scrap of Vice-Versa in her hand.

* In TheStinger of Robo Fortune's Story Mode she notes a "rising in sodium chlorine levels" when other characters attempt to fight back against her robot uprising. Basically she's calling them salty.

* Annie (who has fought many Skullgirls in the past) doesn't comment on Marie being a child, implying that Skullgirls as young as her (or even younger) aren't unusual. Of course, in [[CrapsackWorld a world like this]], why would they be?
