→‎Hidden messages in Oni art & trailer: this material is redundant now, and was slightly incorrect anyway, as the matrix *did* use lots of kanji

 ===Hidden messages in Oni art & trailer===
-From the Marathon Story page, long before Oni even came out:
+The Japanese text that appears in various promotional images is broken down on the [[Oni matrix]] page.
-    I don't know if this has been covered before, but perhaps this is of interest.
-    I got out my Oni notepad tonight (the freebie from the Action Sack) and the faint Kanji (Japanese characters) caught my eye. Behind the image of<br>Konoko there are faint vertical lines of Japanese text faintly visable. Faintly is the operating word here. There are several words seperated by ones<br>and zeros in each line. After squinting at these line for a while, I managed to translate a couple of them. Now these lines repeat, both within the<br>"sentence" and also across the page. So while there looks like there are about 20 lines or so, there are only six unique "sentences" that I can pick out.
-    They are:
-    shinrai ni atai suru hito inai (there is no one I can trust)
-    kiki (this is the Oni kanji repeated twice) ... kurai shorai (dark future)
-    kako no aru onna (a woman with a past)
-    furu kontakuto akushon (full contact action)
-    buramu (blam) korutana (cortana)
-    warui keikan (bad cop)
-    I don't know but I suspect this is the same kanji used in the trailer.

-:N.B. they are actually hiragana/katakana rather than kanji.
