History Headscratchers / Skullgirls

** I don't know, but I think doing so [[NiceJobBreakingItHero just unleashes the Skullgirl early]] - at the very least, it won't prevent it from just finding another host.

** The coffins in the Rooftops Assault stage are shown covered in chains, which may have held in previous generations. Marie being able to uproot graves and entire buildings likely overpowered them.

** The Queen had to threaten all 3 kingdoms so had to cross some borders. Squigly may have just been out of range and stayed dead.

* If you know that you're going to become a Skullgirl eventually (as certain characters do in their endings) and you want to make sure the world isn't terrorized by your Skullgirl self in the future, what's to stop you from committing suicide? Can the Skull Heart stop you?

* [[spoiler:Skullgirls are said to appear every seven years. So Squigly's mom was the one 14 years ago, then Parasoul's mom 7 years ago, then Marie now. Still, it's as if she somehow did nothing during the time of Parasoul's mom as a Skullgirl.]]

** [[spoiler: [[LoopholeAbuse The Skull Heart will make]] [[SpearCounterpart Skullboys]]? This is probably along with turning the wisher into a male, so she, now he, can become the first Skullboy.]]

** It's possible it might not do any good. A lot of the minions the Skullgirl summons are almost totally skeletal in nature, and while cremation takes care of bone, Marie's shown some modicum of regeneration from nigh-obliteration. It's possible this transfers down to the Skullgirl's minions .

* It seems like the Skullheart's been around a while -- though not, as Leviathan says, forever. Still, why hasn't the Canopy Kingdom started practicing cremation of the dead (like the Free Folk of ASongOfIceAndFire do to keep their own dead from rising as wights) to keep the undead legions the Skullgirls can raise down to a minimum?

* So Squigly[[spoiler:'s mother became the Skullgirl 14 years before the story.]] Given that Squigly [[spoiler:rose in response to the Skullheart before and]] rises in response to Marie becoming the Skullgirl, and Parasoul's mother being the previous one....what happened with Squigly during THAT Skullgirl's rise?

** Uh... SuperSoldier program? Hey, it's not like [[TheEmpire the Canopy Kingdom]] is any stranger to PlayingWithSyringes...

* If Sampson's mouth is on the back of Filia's head, what happened to Filia's brain?
** Sampson is just a shapeshifting mass; the mouth doesn't go anywhere. Filia's brain is probably fine.

** I assumed it was because the Skull Heart is a colossal dick and is deliberately ''trying'' to find reasons to declare wishes impure.

* If Gigans are infertile with other races, how the hell is Scythana only PART Gigan?

** [[UndyingLoyalty Loyalty]] [[HonorBeforeReason Before Reason]], most likely.

** [[LoopholeAbuse The Skull kills them and makes their corpse a Skullgirl[/spoiler]

* Why didn't Cerebella just use the Skull Heart to wish for another Life Gem or something?

*** See also: declaring Filia's wish as ever-so-slightly impure, because Filia, in her amnesiac state, ''thinks'' she harmed Painwheel in her past. Her guilt isn't even ''real''.

** I assumed it was because the Skull Heart is a colossal dick and is deliberately ''trying'' to find reasons to declare wishes impure.

** Parasoul's wish might have been seen as impure because it was only a wish to protect her sister, the one person most important to her, without much thought to anyone else. It was selfless, but maybe not selfless enough for the Skull Heart? She may also be non-pure hearted. Or, since the wish disqualified Umbrella from being the Skullgirl, it could have needed to shuck off the burden onto a different host.

* Just how the hell is Parasoul's wish impure? Her only goal is to protect the innocent people, and she has literally no selfish gain from the wish whatsoever.

* If Sampson's mouth is on the back of Filia's head, what happened to Filia's brain?

** It's seen in multiple colors in gameplay, so I wouldn't be surprised if Vice-Versa could change colors at Cerebella's will.

* Are there multiple Vice-Versas? Canonically, it's orange, but Cerebella's ending shows her wearing a white one.
