Bible Black (video game)



"Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. He who sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed."

- Exodus 22:19, 20

A H-game that was first released in 2000 and, a year later, turned into a well known Hentai anime. In 2002, it got a Prequel called Bible Black: Origins and two Sequels called Bible Black: New Testament and Bible Black: Only.

One of the more famous H-series in the United States, Bible Black has a decent fan following. The series also gained a level of infamy for some of the more outrageous moments and the dark and disturbing material contained within. The character designs were done by Yoshiten, the same man who did the character designs for a series with a similar level of infamy.

It got a H-game sequel called Bible Black: The Infection, which was released in English on June 28th, 2011. Whether or not it will get a Hentai adaptation, is yet to be known.

According to Chris Beveridge of Anime on DVD a live action version is being made. (Which isn't saying much, as it wouldn't be the first hentai so adapted.)

Not to be confused with the single by Heaven And Hell, the King Crimson song Starless and Bible Black, or the British sitcom Black Books.

Also, not to be confused with the grimoire The Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses aka Bible Black. Wikipedia has an article. Text

Versions of this work circulated throughout Scandinavia and Central Europe. In Sweden and Finland these books are compiled and published under the titles, "Den Svarta Bibeln" and "Musta Raamattu", respectively, meaning "The Black Bible".


 * Anti-Villain: Kitami to some people.
 * Those who don't feel this way tend to view her as a Complete Monster. There's precious little in the way of middle ground on this issue.
 * Art Shift: Between the first game (La Noche De Walpurgis) and the second (Infection). It's relatively minor, which somehow manages to make it that much more jarring.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: Minase and Imari to an extent.
 * Betty and Veronica: Imari the Betty and Saeki the Veronica (or Shiraki the Betty and Imari the Veronica)
 * Bigger Is Better in Bed: Minase's penis is often described as being quite big by the girls he has sex with which makes you wonder why he needed that spellbook at all. Kitami is also this when she turns her clitoris into a penis.
 * Black Magic: One of the key plot points.
 * Blondes Are Evil:
 * Saeki ends up just as evil as Kitami, involved in several rapes and eventually murder.
 * Also Jody Crowley from the sequel
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Another of the important plot points with most of the characters falling victim to it at some point in both series.
 * Shiraki gets it especially bad.
 * Kitami, in particular, enjoys this in the anime. In the game, it's a mix of this and her Love Potion.
 * Break the Cutie:
 * Kitami in Origins. See Start of Darkness.
 * Ito Mika in the first game. The text description is particularly brutal, since  And the poor girl never really seems to recover from it.
 * Brother-Sister Incest:
 * Minase has full on sex with his stepsister Yukiko has full-on sex with her.
 * Broken Bird:
 * Takashiro gets pretty bad in the game, too.
 * Ito in the games. First Minase's rather explicit choice in spells causes her to...perform some rather lewd acts in front of her entire class, then she gets put under mind control by Kitami.
 * But Thou Must!: The first game has one of these.
 * There's more than just one, actually. The earliest is Minase ending up going to the art club meeting no matter how much you try to avoid it.
 * Caught with Your Pants Down: More like caught giving a Facial....and in front of your best friend who secretly has a crush on you to top it all off.
 * In the game, that's if you choose Shiraki instead of Imari and are taking an evil road. If you choose Imari,
 * Chickification - Imari is actually a champion martial artist in the game. This was ignored in the first anime entirely.
 * Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Although Minase helps her win the affections of a boy she likes, Murai is never seen or heard from for the rest of the series. Wonder how things are going with her & Asada?
 * Country Matters: In the English dub
 * Deal with the Devil: Kitami does this at the end of the Prequel in order to save her life.
 * The major plot revolves
 * Death by Sex: Certain endings in the game have this happen to the player. Takashiro comes close to it in the storylines where the player's working with Kitami.
 * In the sequel anime series, this pretty much happens for the entire first half of the series. A couple is found dismembered in a car by joggers, a green-haired student and her professor are found pinned to the wall by a security guard just moments after intercourse, Toudou and her young teacher (but still older than her) where burned alive in the middle of sex (she came Back from the Dead though) and then there's the particularly unpleasant bank scene where.
 * Demoted to Extra: In Minase's case he is one of the main characters. His sister does not appear in the sequel either. A quick shot of a computer has a photo of Minase when the detective is investigating into the past case but Minase doesn't appear in person.
 * Averted by Infection. Despite gaining a new voice actor, Minase remains the player's avatar, for good or ill.
 * Minase is only seen in one headshot in the sequel anime series and not mentioned much more than that. It is apparently believed by some that he is implied to have been killed at some point by the.
 * Ito, in transitioning from the game to the anime.
 * Depraved Bisexual: Kitami at the start. Most of the cast when they come under Kitami's sway.
 * Dude She's Like In A Coma: One of evil options in the game is visiting an unconscious Mika Ito in the nurse's office.
 * It's not the visitation that's the evil choice. (In fact, you have to visit her, if you don't want a bad end later on.) But your options when you're there...
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Kitami, both in the original and Prequel.
 * Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite: No girl stays indifferent to Kitami's monster dong.
 * Evil Is Not a Toy: A lesson that the protagonists should have learned.
 * Infection averts this, since the first scene to occur ends up with
 * Evil Foreigner: Jody Crowley from the sequel
 * Fan Service: Yes, that too. But really what else would you expect?
 * Fantasy Contraception: Black magic must make guys sterile or something...
 * Well, New Testament is decent and Only probably has the best voice acting in the English series. The other two, however...
 * Gainaxing: Lots of it.
 * Good People Have Good Sex: Minase & Imari finally do this.
 * Gorn: Edges into this at several moments.
 * Government Conspiracy.
 * Gun Porn: Eheheh...well, the thing is...
 * Heel Face Turn: Minase. What? A semi-respectable male hentai character?
 * Hello, Nurse!: Saeki, when she's in her school uniform, falls under this. Not so much in the mage robes, though.
 * Hermaphrodite: Kitami can turn her clitoris into a fully functioning penis. And it's a technique she uses surprisingly often.
 * Heroes Want Redheads: Takashiro
 * Actually subverted by the end of the first series : Minase wants a brunette—Imari, specifically.
 * In the second series however, the  makes a comment about how Takashiro stole Minase from her.
 * Seeing as it's probably talking and not, that statement makes a great deal of sense. Takashiro is responsible for Minase's Heel Face Turn.
 * H-Game POV Character: Starts as Type IV.
 * Horrible Judge of Character: Imari on Kitami, and to a lesser extent Minase
 * Saeki is this in the game, depending on your choices.
 * Horny Devils
 * Hot for Teacher: Happens a lot.
 * Hot Witch: Kitami. Large breasts, nice ass and she can pop out a rock-hard cock that would causes girls to drool in lust.
 * The Immodest Orgasm: Oh so much. In a bit of TV Tropes irony, this entry was once right before The Big O in the Anime list.
 * It Got Worse: Think the first series ends on a bad note? It gets worse. Much worse.
 * The second game arguably falls under this.
 * "It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It": Duh! ya think?
 * Again, averted in the game. Kitami's got a rather potent aphrodisiac.
 * I Read It for the Articles: The game is littered with random trivia about art and literature, among other things. Occult stuff is predominant, but there's a summary of Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique among other things. And you thought you don't learn anything from porn.
 * Idiot Ball: Takashiro in Origins. She and her coven decide to play Break the Haughty by forcing Kozono Nami to fall in love with some random skanky guy who wants her. OK, fine. Takashiro then decides to release her from the spell and tell her that they caused it. Also fine; revenge complete. The problem comes when Takashiro agrees to teach this woman magic. It could be justified as extreme arrogance, as Takashiro is probably feeling pretty invincible at that point. But still: you're willingly teaching your worst enemy the tools necessary to take you out. How can that possibly be a good idea? And no, this doesn't end well (more specifically Nami usurps her, blasts her against a wall and has Takashiro's friends tie her up and lock her in a broom closet.)
 * Nami immediately counters this with her own idiot ball. So your ritual calls for a Virgin Sacrifice. And you've picked out a suitable virgin, Kitami, someone who's pissed you off (from Nami's perspective). But it's a few hours before the ceremony; what do you do? If you're Nami, you apparently hand her over to a group of men and have them rape her. Oh, but you tell them not to do it in the vagina. And instead of supervising the rape, to make sure they only rape her ass, you leave. I'm sure nothing will happen to this virginity that will cause the ritual to fail and get you killed by your presumed sacrifice.
 * Kitami naturally gets this right. Pretty much the first thing she does once she finds a suitable Virgin Sacrifice is to ensure that she remain a virgin via a chastity belt.
 * For what it's worth, Kitami herself says that her being sacrificed didn't work because she was Only Mostly Dead in the game.
 * In Episode 2, Minase goes back down into the basement he originally got the book from, when who should come along but Kitami? She spins a yarn about how she gave her soul to a demon and invites him to do the same. Considering all the nasty crap he's witnessed up to this point, any sane man would've dropped the book and ran like hell. But I almost forgot that this is a hentai, and we still have a couple of episodes left, so... on with the ritual sex!
 * If you try this in the game, Kitami will kill you in most routes.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Minase...maybe.
 * Kick the Dog: Brutally used in Origins. Takashiro kills a puppy who the teenage Kitami had become quite attached to and use it in a sacrifice. Also, see Nami's Idiot Ball above.
 * Love Makes You Crazy: Shiraki.
 * Love Potion: Minase uses a spell on Shiraki to get in her pants. Shiraki doesn't ever figure it out in the; and those who do—Ito, for example—end up under Kitami's control.
 * Love Triangle: Minase is caught in this one with Imari & Shiraki.
 * A Man Is Not a Virgin: The series actually has it's fair share of male virgins as well as female, prior to their respective sex scenes. Some chief examples are Hiratani, from Origins and several of the guys in Saeki & friends' scenes in Only.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Minase is drawn with six pac abs and a lean muscular figure. He's also very well-endowed.
 * Naughty Tentacles: The demons have these.
 * Of Corsets Sexy: Kitami
 * Saeki in New Testament.
 * Only Six Faces: The girls are not only limited to a single face, they all have the same body figure, and CGs featuring more of them will clearly show that they all have the same heights. It's like they are all clones with different hair and accessories.
 * Pigeonholed Voice Actor:
 * Imari in the original and Kitami in the Prequel
 * Saeki in the original and Takashiro in the Prequel
 * Kitami in the original and Kaori in the Prequel
 * Plot With Porn: More like porn with plot, considering how much Backstory is involved.
 * The game manages to give you porn and plot at the same time, simply because Kitami enjoys explaining things during sex.
 * Psycho Lesbian: Kaori from the Prequel to an extent.
 * Rape as Backstory: Kitami. In fact this is the reason why the entire main series came to be.
 * Takashiro as well. And hers might actually be considered worse considering she . Both however, had it pretty bad as both were.
 * Rape Is Love: Mostly averted in the game. Saeki and her lot are the only ones to play this straight. There's an aphrodisiac used in every other case.
 * Rape Is Okay When It's Female On Male: Shiraki, after she goes all stabby-stabby on Minase.
 * I hate to bring up logic in a Hentai series discussion, but how can he have a boner while he's in the middle of bleeding out? Blood is kind of required to keep it up.
 * The anime actually shows his bleeding start to get worse when he gets the erection.
 * Schoolgirl Lesbians: Kaori, The villain in the Prequel is one of these.
 * The Smurfette Principle: Inverted here. Minase seems to be the only significant male character in the entire series.
 * Spit Trail Kiss
 * Start of Darkness: Origins, for Kitami.
 * STD Immunity
 * Student Council President: Shiraki from the original and Kaori from the Prequel.
 * The Atoner: Takashiro to an extent; she wishes to atone for unleashing the dark forces years ago.
 * The Ingenue: Kitami in the Prequel and to a lesser extent, Imari in the original
 * The Merch: There are Bible Black sex toys available at J-list.
 * Tome of Eldritch Lore: The titular bible.
 * Tsundere: Imari is a excellent Type B example, complete with twintails and Zettai Ryouiki.
 * Villain Protagonist: Takashiro was this at her very worst when she actually concieved the human sacrifice scheme
 * Virgin Sacrifice: The other key plot point.
 * Yandere: Shiraki's cute when she's "confessing" her love to Minase, but midway through she goes all ape-shit.
 * YouTube Poop: Formerly the most commonly used Hentai source.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Pretty much every female has the grade A type of this.
 * Virgin Sacrifice: The other key plot point.
 * Yandere: Shiraki's cute when she's "confessing" her love to Minase, but midway through she goes all ape-shit.
 * YouTube Poop: Formerly the most commonly used Hentai source.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Pretty much every female has the grade A type of this.
