** Peacock's DummiedOut ending shows that the Skull Heart can actually refuse wishes. This thing isn't there as a genie - it's there to display mankind's impurity and create more Skullgirls.

*** Or maybe it's a 'mental sharing' situation? Can someone who's actually seen the Yu-Gi-Oh anime tell me if a Yugi/Yami Yugi sharing-a-body comparison would be appropriate here?

** There ''is'' a possibility that he has ulterior motives. We don't know much about him yet, so it being TeethClenchedTeamwork could be the case. Either that, or maybe his misogyny is overshadowed by [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority how intimidating Regina is said to be]]. Just because he's a misogynist doesn't mean he won't respect a woman to avoid getting his shit wrecked.

* Why couldn't Parasoul, in her story ending, run out after grabbing the skull heart, and then shoot it? She could certainly outrun Umbrella, and even if she did suffer ill effects from holding the skull heart, she wouldn't need that long to it get out of range of her sister...

** Original poster here. To the first response, it's not from story mode; it's in the lore section on the SG website (so no doubt subject to change at Alex's whim). As for the eye stuff, I suppose it makes sense, or about as much sense as anything else in Skull girls. Just thought it was a little retroactive plothole.

*** An additional notes section on Filia, alongside noting her babycheeks and chubby body, notes that Samsom's mouth is like a portal. This would indicate that Samsom's entire body exists inside Filia, meaning that they co-exist, in a kind of shapeshifting phase. So, when Filia is moving around, or doing one of the few attacks she can do without Samsom's help (her Low Kick, for example) then her body is the dominant, and thus Samsom exists only as a portal; when the majority of Samsom's attacks occur, then Samsom is the dominant and Filia is just a vaguely-conscious husk of flesh.

** Not entirely sure that Peacock's eyes have been replaced before she transformed into a cartoon. She got her them mashed into jammy paste by that slaver; and even if they could connect new ones, we haven't learned how long it took for her eyes to become those black portals that they are now. Can't really do eye-surgery when the patient uses the sockets for storage space.

** 360 owner here. I hope that was something Alex said at Salty or something and not from the story mode. :( ANYWAYS... I think maybe they put her eyes there for the Argus system. More eyes means she shoots more lasers. Also, during "Argus Agony" the eyes fold out into '''even more eyes''' which would be awkward to implement if she had them in her eyes. Besides, she can arguably see better this way. During the intro to her story she had them floating everywhere so she could look at all those televisions. There's probably some combat applications there if you get creative.

* With the recent reveal of a little of Valentine's past in lab 7, we know that's where she lost her eye. We also know that they could have replaced it, but she ''chose'' not to. Which then begs the question why they didn't replace Peacock's; ASL is responsible for both, so it would have been possible to fix Patricia with a conventional set rather than intergrate them into her arms, and she may have come out less crazy as a result.

** Umbrella might have been the primary beneficiary of the wish, but Parasoul had her own selfish reasons for not wanting Umbrella to die: she didn't want to lose her. It's like if someone wishes a loved one back to life. The loved one might be the one profiting directly, but they're only being brought back because the wisher can't let them go or move on.
