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."

- Book of 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".


 * Action Girl: Imari is actually a champion martial artists, though the later anime adaptations ignore this.
 * 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.
 * 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 employs this often, with help from her Love Potion.
 * Break the Cutie:
 * Ito Mika. 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.
 * Broken Bird:
 * Takashiro gets hit with this pretty bad.
 * Poor Ito gets hit with this hard, too. 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!: This 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.
 * Similarly, if you try to back out of supporting Kitami when she confronts you and reveals her secrets, Kitami will kill you in most routes.
 * 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.
 * While this is shown in the anime, in the game specifically, this only happens if you choose Shiraki instead of Imari and are taking an evil road. If you choose Imari,
 * 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?
 * Deal with the Devil: 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.
 * Demoted to Extra: While this happened in the anime sequel, its averted by Infection. Despite gaining a new voice actor, Minase remains the player's avatar, for good or ill.
 * 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
 * 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.
 * 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 : Minase wants a brunette—Imari, specifically.
 * 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: The second game arguably falls under this.
 * "It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It": Actually 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.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Minase...maybe.
 * 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 end; and those who do—Ito, for example—end up under Kitami's control.
 * Love Triangle: Minase is caught in this one with Imari & Shiraki.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Minase is drawn with six pac abs and a lean muscular figure. He's also very well-endowed.
 * Of Corsets Sexy: Kitami
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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
 * STD Immunity
 * Student Council President: Shiraki is this.
 * The Atoner: Takashiro to an extent; she wishes to atone for unleashing the dark forces years ago.
 * The Ingenue: Imari, though its somewhat downplayed
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Pretty much every female has the grade A type of this.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Pretty much every female has the grade A type of this.
