 :People can't always tell why (zombie) Shinatama, after engaging Omega Security Mode, continued to advance on Griffin despite the emergency override and the order to "stay back".
 :It turns out that Griffin was using one of the low-level emergency overrides that had been turned off by D. Joost and P. Tamte (Bungie staff cameos) without Griffin being notified.

-:There are the buddhist oni (either imps or patron deities) and the pagan oni (malicious ogres or beasts). Food for eerie tales, oni-slaying epics and more.

-:A relevant expression is "Oni ni Kanabô" ("strong beyond strong"). It can also have the proverbial meaning that great power should only be grated to the worthy.

 :Oni-gokko is the game of tag. The "it" in the game of tag is the "oni" in oni-gokko. Another interesting reference is the "oni warrior" Musashibo Benkei.

-Konoko's name is never written in Oni, and so one can't really be sure what kanji/hiragana it would be composed of.
+Konoko's name is never written in a Japanese script in Oni, and so one can't really be sure what kanji/hiragana it would be composed of. Given the many meanings of "ko", tentative decompositions and interpretations can get rather wild. Thus, the meaning depends a lot on the context. But if you watch subtitled animé, you'll encounter this phrase fairly often, with the meaning "this child" ("kono ko").

-"Konoko" is actually a recurrent "word" in Japanese, but the meaning depends a lot on the context.
-:Thus, [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228493/ Konoko no nanatsu no oiwai ni] (a 1982 movie) can be translated
-:*as "[[seven]] cheers for this child" if you don't know what the movie is about
-:*as "for my daughter's [[seven]]th birthday" if you ''do'' know what it's about ^_^
-So it can mean anything from "this child" to "my child" to "my daughter".
-:In Konoko's case, the latter 2 sound better. "''The'' child" is also good.

 :The puppet could also make the contents of the jewel box disappear, with a "magic trick" animation.

-From the Marathon Story page, long before Oni even came out:
-    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.
