Thank you for visiting Death Blow Icons! My name is MEGAnaire and I launched this GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE database in 2021. So far I have indexed more than 5,500 subjects and 12,500 images. I have also been keeping a list of people who deserve special thanks for being so MOE~ when reached for further comments and permission requests.
Many pages are still in the early stages, but I hope you find this site interesting as it continues to grow! Here is a rough guide to navigating through the index:
- When it comes to names, I generally use the most prevalent English titles down to their exact casing, and I avoid using fan terms.
- Fan translations are extremely important to me and you can view them all on Death Blow Icons however I’ve decided that terms with no official English spelling will also be left untranslated. In most cases, any names decided by translators still appear on these pages in the notes sections, in order to keep them visible in searches. I have however romanized Japanese titles in URLs.
- Subjects are titled based on the most recent name in their respective canon. The most obvious example of this is Eight Hearts, although the name Johnson is still used when discussing his earlier life.
- Some subjects have no known title in any language, requiring a little creativity or even simply just asking GRASSHOPPER to come up with something.
- Any material related to LET IT DIE that was released after June 1, 2018 is covered in less detail if at all. This is because after this date, GRASSHOPPER and SUPERTRICK began doing business under separate names. Eventually, GRASSHOPPER departed from parent company GungHo altogether. DEATHVERSE: Let it Die is also largely avoided for the same reason. Admittedly I do cover content added to ports by other studios, but LET IT DIE is a live service that has endured for six years since the absorption-type split, and I don’t have the stamina to cover every detail of SUPERTRICK’s online games, as much as I still enjoy them.
- Lastly, many names have been used more than once in media, and these subjects have been distinguished by parentheses and numbered in order of appearance.
For now, just a taste. Next time, you’ll get the five-course meal:
