A character named Shiki proclaims "'''殺人'''を行ったのは私。けれど私は'''操'''られるだけの人形でした。(I was the '''killer'''. But I was nothing but a doll being '''manipulated'''.)" Shiki has multiple personalities including that of a ''doll'' and ''maid''. In the story, Shiki is imprisoned on a high tech island as, 15 years prior, she murdered her parents with a ''knife''. Shiki is a computer genius and, before the events of the story, helped to create the island facility's OS, ''Red Magic'' (赤い魔法). During the story the OS shuts down, leaving the facility in chaos, and a murder mystery (beginning with Shiki's "death") ensues as person after person gets killed. It's eventually revealed that Shiki herself was the perpetrator and that she planned for the OS to "malfunction" years in advance. Interestingly, [[Remilia]] has a spell card named "Red Magic" (レッドマジック) and Sakuya's full in-game portrait displays the words "Red Magic" on her sleeve.</ref> <ref>Worth noting is that ''Everything Becomes F'' is extremely similar to the murder mystery novel ''[[wikipedia:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]]'' which is referenced by [[Flandre]]'s spell cards and the story of [[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]].</ref> <ref name="secret">Also of note is that similar [[PC-98]] character [[Yumeko]]'s music theme is called "Doll's Story ~ Doll of Misery".</ref>

Jack the Ripper also appears as a vampire-slaying villain wielding ''silver knives'' in the novel ''[[wikipedia:Anno Dracula|Anno Dracula]]'' (ドラキュラ紀元 in Japanese). [[Akyuu]] claims that the reason Sakuya wields silver knives is because was a former vampire hunter. There are theories that Jack the Ripper may have been female. Given that and combining both ludo bile and belladonna, the spell card may mean something like "Jack the Lunatic Beautiful Lady".</ref>

Notes

  1. 幻在 (genzai): a pun on 現在 (genzai, "present world"). The usual 現 (gen) kanji is replaced with an identically pronounced kanji (幻) that means "illusion".
  2. 幻象 (genshou): a pun on 現象 (genshou, "phenomenon"). The usual 現 (gen) kanji is replaced with an identically-pronounced kanji (幻) that means "illusion".
  3. Moondials are time pieces that use the full moon to tell the time, and are often associated with the practice of lunar gardening. Flowers, night and the full moon are likewise referenced by the titles of Sakuya's theme songs ("Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial" and "Flowering Night") and the kanji in her name. "Luna" could also be short for "lunatic", tying in with her "Jack the Ludo Bile" spell card (see below).
  4. 4.0 4.1 Likely a reference to the 1996 Japanese murder mystery The Perfect Insider. The culprit of the story has several personalities, including that of a doll and maid, and proclaims that despite committing the murder, she was nothing more than "a doll being manipulated". An OS called "Red Magic" is also involved, referenced by one of Remilia's Spell Cards and in writing on Sakuya's sleeve. The novel also has many similarities to And Then There Were None, referenced by Flandre's Spell Cards and Dolls in Pseudo Paradise.
  5. 5.0 5.1 "Doll" may also be a reference to "Doll of Misery", the music theme of similar PC-98 character Yumeko.
  6. 幻幽 (genyuu): homophone of 現有 (genyuu, "currently").
  7. "Ludo bile", meaning "mad herb", is Bulgarian slang for the extremely toxic belladonna plant.
  8. "Jack" refers to 19th-century serial killer Jack the Ripper, who is referenced by several of Sakuya's Spell Cards and her chosen weapon of silver knives. One of the sequels to The Perfect Insider is titled Jack the Poetical Private; Jack the Ripper also appears as a servant of the vampire DIO in the series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and as a knife-wielding vampire hunter in the novel Anno Dracula.
  9. 幻世 (gense): a pun on 現世 (gense, "real world").
  10. "The World" is the name of DIO's Stand in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which has the ability to stop time. Various aspects of Sakuya's character (knives, time manipulation, connection to vampires) are very likely to be homages to DIO.
  11. May also be a reference to the mystery novel The Killing Doll (殺す人形 in Japanese).
