INSANE BLOOD VIALS STORYLINE INFO FOUND!!! Zetsubou No Shima Easter Egg Blood Vials Explained 

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY *HUGE*. HOLY COW. THOUGHTS, GUYS??? :O

"There is a chain of events that must be set in motion" Nikolai said that in The Giant just discovered it.

Who remembers Nikolai saying the exact same line to Edward 1.0 in the giant trailer? "There's a chain of events that must be set in motion"

also the rifts that appear behind the characters

Maybe in the vials is red bull!? So in case they don't like where they end up they can get wings and fly away

I had a theory about the Blood Vials, We got the Shadows of Evil bio where it mentions four newly cursed souls, and then it hit me. My theory is: WHAT IF Richtofen is gathering the blood of cursed souls? For whatever reason, he is. And what if, each of our four characters have the bloods of previous characters. I'm talking about people like Nero, Floyd, JFK, Castro, Danny Trejo, Michael Rooker, Russman, Stuhlinger, etc, etc. And i say them because they're the four chosen cursed souls in each time period. And if this theory is correct, i believe we will have more mentions to previous playable characters at some point in DLC 3 or 4. And if i'm correct, then i will forever love Treyarch because even though we don't love all of these characters, it's the perfect nod.

People should play motd again to see if we have missed anything

I think it's blood of their 1.0 selves so in case they mess up or something then maybe they could bring they're 1.0 selves back to life with the blood vials and summoning key. So maybe that's their insurance policy I'm guessing.

I swear we got fucking professors finding these easter eggs

What if, the insurance policy is for when "primis" fails. Just a thought.

you have to upload it while im in college, go damn it milo!!

keep up the awesome work milo ur killing it as always!

Milo, make a video about the shirt that Jason Blundell gave you please!

MILO PLEASE READ! In gersch's cipher he talks of "a city ON FIRE", yes? And in the origins song Archangel the chorus says "die by fire & begin again" also just before the map which we're in Stalingrad Richtofen mentions this "insurance policy" so maybe they die in the next map? Or fail in some way...Then (a bit far-fetched) it loops back to Origins, which explains why Richtofen knows what's going on in that map, and it's all a loop like mob of the dead? What are your thoughts?

WOW that's crazy dude ! I can't wait to see where this leads !

Nearly at 500,000 Subscribers you deserve it.

Nikolai in 'The Giant' starting cutscene also says, "there is a chain of a events that must be set in motion". Strange coincidence or possible clue?

they probably went to the future or past and told themselves whats up so if shit hits the fan they will have the same plan still to proceed further and each time contacting their future or past selves each time to ensure they will never die

About time we got some info on this

Milo: Hey Liam, where are the blood vials? Liam: Just over there.....

I think in dlc 3 the old Nikolai will be reluctant to die and will be drunk, so in the cutscene it will be funny to see him and the new Nikolai wrestle for a bit, but idk why am I typing this.

they have blood from motd characters because there is this cycle or whatever it is so they can start over if something messes up. ps. its just my theory and I dont know much about motd

it could be something with the new Nav-card like feature, when completing an Easter egg on a map it shows a Gateworm on the map selection screen, maybe the vials will stay with you even in other maps as long as you've gotten the gate worm for Zetsubou no Shima

Congrats on 500K!

what if each vial was a different person like each person has their own blood and 2 other people from mob of the dead since 4 with 2 each=8 which makes it where 1 of each person on either group or it could of been a different group like the 4 from shadows of evil, or it could just be if 1 cant make it I.E. Richtofen then they have 3 other back ups. this is only speculation. but hey i think it is a good thought.

People did you know that if you hit Perk-A-Cola and Gobblegum machines with your electrified shield, they will be 50% cheaper!!

The blood of the Mob of the Dead characters is Damned. That's why they always come to the same point if they die. You know, with the Cycle Keeps Going message if you kill Weasel at the end. So, maybe, the Origins 4, get their blood, just to return to some point if they fail, drinking it or injecting it will keep the cycle going for Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai.

MrRof. Maybe each character has a vial from 1 of the mob crew. the insurance policy means that if they dont make it to finish there goal they will "spawn" in that characters mob vial. it makes more sense for the wording insurance policy

SOE characters on Nikolai motd on richtophen transit on Dempsey and takeo had the call of the dead

Why are there always those white squares above character scores on the left now

MrRoflWaffles! All that happened is that the crew needed more Kool-Aid!

Really interesting!!! So where do you think we are gonna go for Dlc3 since We may not go to a place for nikloli.

What if the MOTD characters are PRIMIS just different versions because if they can alter the universe then maybe that means that they could alter their parents confrontation e.g say Richtofen's mother is Brianna and his father is David. If they can change the past that will change the future so maybe Richtofen's parents (Brianna and David) didn't meet then maybe say Christine and Brian are Richtofen's parents in the MOTD universe...however maybe Richtofen isn't Richtofen in the MOTD universe he is the Weasel. And the other PRIMIS characters will also be apart of the MOTD crew but they are not in their PRIMIS bodies (Richtofen , Nikolai , Dempsey , Takeo) they will be in their MOTD bodies (Sal,Weasel,Finn,Billy)....Feel free to leave your opinions

Where did takeo get the second sword

The trailer that was released yesterday was the teaser to Revelations, in the teaser all 4 characters got killed by Nikolai 1.0, the quote by Richthofen about the insurance policy is referring to the teaser.

OMG WAFFEL U GOD U JUST BLEW MY MIND .when rick said we need to stop a chain is he talking about the motd map as that map is an infinate chain ????

hey roflwoffel, I have a question for you. has anyone gone around the map yet and checked all the walls with the skull after the easter egg was complete? Since you need to start the easter egg with the skull as well? I just have a hard time believing we have found all the hidden posters/memo's/hidden tidbits. Thank you for the great work and keep on keeping on brother.

in motd, weasel will say he's heard the name Nikolai from somewhere before. That plus the fact Richtofen is carrying blood vials with 2 of the motd characters' cell numbers and the motd plane flying overhead in SoE, Zns, and on the giant as well could mean something significant to the storyline

Milo in ZnS there is a quote from Richtofen during punching and it says: well eddie samantha maxis dempsey and takeo are all safe, so why are you struggling against it Nikolai ?

milo if you look closely you can see that richtofen has something that could be note worthy about his belt. If this is about his belt, this could be something else that would be helpful in figuring things out

He seems so nice. I thinks it's the way his intro when he says hi guys

milo think of this, what if 1 of the blood vials on the characters are 1 of the characters from MOTD and the other blood vial is from 1 character from SOE, as in Takeo could have 1 character from each, say niro and weasel, and dempsey has two other characters from the two maps, since they are in the same universe thing

I think the next map will be for Nikolai's soul in Stalingrad, and that possibly wherever they went through the portals could be MoTD and that the "insurance policy" Riktofen talks about could be the afterlife (when you die in Mob of The Dead and can revive yourself) as they now (possibly) all have the blood of the prisoners, who each could enter the afterlife.

The other vials come from the other zombie characters that we have played in the past games (not counting shadows of evil) doc has 2 that we know of and that leaves 6 out of 8 left.

Milo have you discovered what causes the test chambers/tubes where the man plant is? In my game they turned red and my teammate had a series and of blinking lights on his screen

there are a total of 8 blood vials which could mean that there are 2 teams of 4 characters. Maybe because richtofen feels like if the group does die or fail there conntingincey plan is to be reborn as another group to try again.

MrRoflWaffles, you're a really smart guy.

Well when he says chain of events. I think of time travel. So in the story they are going through different times and universes. Maybe they have to go to a certain time, set something in motion and that way the future or something stays intact. Heres an example If someone from the future goes into the past and say tells someone how to time travel, that person in the now will in the future have to do what the future did in order to preserve the timeline or something similar. Pretty much how the start of quantum leap is, were the guy comes from the future to tell his past self it works, and then past self has to go back in time to tell his past self it works and so on so forth. Perhaps the chain of events is something in the past or future that they have to continue or else say what they have done will be undone. Maybe they went back into a different map we have already played or maybe its something we have yet to see

386A and 481B is written on Richthofen blood vials as seen in this video which is also the inmate #s written on Finn and sal prison uniforms. So it must be there blood and possibly there going to use the blood to create a vessel for the souls that are inside the summoning key

Remember in mob of the dead: "The cycle repeats" and "The cycle has been broken" ? Maybe the event of MOD could be the PRIMIS insurance to whether repeat or finish their mission.

I think the next map could possibly be where they teleported to (maybe mob of the dead) I think they went there to get blood from themselves so then when they go to the 4th map (nikolis map) to kill the old Nikoli, they have backups of themselves, maybe when they've killed Nikoli and the 4 older versions are dead, something might go wrong and they need backups.

you have to remember that weasel referenced nikolais name. they are clearly going to be tied into each other but will it be before the MOTD crew is condemned to there never ending cycle or during it?

all I know is that the blood vials on richtoffen (don't know if its spelled that way) have the prisoner id numbers for weasel and sal. I'm assuming that four of the other vials are of the transit characters.

wait a minute i think i worked it out In between the end of the cutscene and when we spawn bck in richtofen and the crew go to collect the blood vials. This theory has some evidence supporting it for example when richtofen says there is a chain of events that must be set in motion. This also means that in dlc 3 we will kill nikali and as before we dont know wat will happen in dlc 4.

The summoning key is called the summoning key for a reason. We haven't seen any summoning done yet we've just seen souls being kept. What if the blood vials are a necessity to summon our mob of the dead characters or possibly the characters from shadows

now in the recent date we got a worm and a artifact to tell if you complete the EE on the maps and after doing that they become hole what if you have to complete all the EE at the end and after you do EE and collect the sould you get awarded Viles (IDK it's a thought)

Yo i have been trying to get ahold of you on some info that i think has been over looked... during the cut scene before we leave to get the blood vials richtofen says there is a series of events that must set in motion ... now during the intro cut scene to "The Giant" when the crew approaches old richtofen , Nikolia says " there is a chain of events that must be set in motion"... then young richtofen kills old richtofen and when he is kneeling over the body that is when he takes his blood and puts it in the vials and gives it to the crew... why is this? i think it also has to do with the richtofen jump scare where he is a zombie and it links to "Zombie blood" from origins as if he himself could have been a test subject in a different univesrse ... anyways i think if they all have his blood it may be like a "checkpoint" so if they fail they can regroup together at the same place at the same time together.. lastly if the kid richtofen is safe then his bloodline could in turn keep the crew alive thoughts????

Richtofen says "incase we end up somewhere we don't want to be" what if the blood is used to travel through dimensions? The mob of the dead have seen portals to other realms everywhere so what if their purgatory-ish state leaves their physical being in a fragile state allowing them to move through dimensions. This could mean afterlife is really some other dimension that collides with the mob of the dead map.

hey milo, i think you should use the time freeze gobblegum to freeze the portal and see if you can jump into it

could you imagine if there was a dlc showing you how it happened and they brought either the mob of the dead or shadows of evil characters and you could do an 8 player game like in tranzit when bo2 was first out. what do you think @MrRoflWaffles

if u play as ricktofin on der esindreacha richitofin screams quotes like "the blood vials will consume you" he says a couple more quotes about them on DE as well

Do you think that the Key thing can transform someone or change them completely? Maybe the blood vials are just a second vessel they can use. Ricktofen has a Mob Of The Dead vessel and maybe someone from Buried is for Dempsei seeing as he might be related to the girl. Maybe the blood is just a transfer for them to take their place? 2 are going to end up in Mob of the death and 2 in buried?

Just gona throw this one out there. 4 characters with 2 blood samples each, 8 samples in total, we know the 2 are for MotD characters, could 2 more samples be for the other 2 MotD characters? And the other 4 for the Die Rise/Buried crew? Could we see a finale with the origins crew using the samples to "summon" the other 2 crews for help? Or maybe some other reason?

Great info!

in MOTD weasel DID say something along the lines of "nikoli nikoli why do i keep hearing that name" *gasp* maybe we might have missed something in mob of the dead :o an undiscovered Easter egg perhaps :o

It might be mob of the dead characters because look at Richtofen's blood vials it says 386A and if you look at Sal's number you see 386A maybe its Sal's blood and Weasel,Billy,and Finn.

There should be an Easter egg where everybody gets that teleporting gobblegum & when everybody activates it at the same time you teleport somewhere out of the map or an Easter egg happens.

1. Maybe alternate easter egg endings on the last map? 2. Maybe the blood in the prisoners has something inside which gives afterlife? 3. Maybe Treyarch will bring back the electric chair loop theory where they are just in a loop, so they need the blood vials to keep the loop going? IDK, I'm just guessing

maybe in theater mode, when you do the easter egg there is an another easter egg... i don't know but maybe during the scene while the screen is white and they are talking about nikolai, there is the answer about all ours questions.

Remember when the scrap said "Primis will fail"? Well what if the blood vials are in case they actually do fail in beating the apothecans and they can restart? That would explain the phrase "insurance policy". Idk, just a thought

I'm at the doctor about to get some hopefully good news but it's probably bad seeing as haven't been to a doctor in 6 years. Waffles is zombie king

I guarantee Nikolai's map will have some kind of bear boss. If you play as him/listen to him in Zetsubou he has at least 3 quotes talking about the bears in Russia.

What if the summoning key has to do with that big battle referenced in der eisendrache and that battle is dlc4. If the battle goes wrong because something happens to the key maybe the blood vials are the insurance policy to kickstart the summoning key and reset the battle

Does anyone notice that Nikolai says, "There is a chain of events that must be set in motion" in The Giant intro cutscene

Maybe the writing on the vials are a code for what universe the blood is from?

Rolf's maybe it's the shadows of evil crew's blood that Nikolai, takeo and Dempsey have as there blood vials

It could be the characters from shadows of evil. It has the same teleporting animation and after all the characters from shadows of evil are cursed with something that can protect them from the zombies maybe

:O at 3:13 there's my image I sent to Milo at his Twitter. Omfg

it would be cool if treyarch made a map where you can teleport to other maps from the past but i would imagine treyarch putting the 1.0 characters as the final map probably we would go to agartha or something.

Mr Roflwaffles?!!! how are there 2 masumes?

This could be a wack idea but what if they went to the Pentagon and got blood samples from the "Five" characters? Jason did say there wasn't a one off map and we haven't heard from them since BO1. Also Call of the Dead can be an option too.

is the kronorium possibly where the mob of the dead map took place? I can imagine spending time there fixing what went wrong is why Richtofen knows what needs to be done.

Roflwaffles if you look behind the characters they come back through the portals

How about doing a video on that t shirt you got from Jason during that interview?!

Than Nikolai's map might be the next map after all. I thought that after seeing ZNS ending that they would do Nikolai's map in DLC4. But then I saw the teleport effect and those quotes afterwards and started to think that they might already have set the chain of events in motion. Which could be getting those vials.

Got an interesting one, what if the MOTD character's blood could give the ability of afterlife for a reason, probably to get access to argatha somehow

500K HYPE!

please read! my theory is that nikoli's map is in starlingrad so maybe they have to set the battle of Stalingrad into motion into motion (because rictofen says that there is a set of events we must set into motion) and when they do nikoli will go to the battle and fight for whoever he is fighting for.

That is super cool, but I have 1 question. Where did takeo 2.0 get the second samurai sword?

Maybe just maybe because everything has a purpose, the blood bath from MOTD that you grab the golden spork because it turned it into a better version of what it once was, that blood is what was taken, because Richtofen thinks of it as a "Fountain of Youth" type of deal, and MOTD would make sense because weasel heard the name Nikolai meaning that since the crew was headed to a place to get Nikolai's soul, that during the afterlife process weasel heard an echo of Nikolai, because it was important to the story at that certain time. Just a thought. But it could be really helpful, or really stupid lol.

Mob of the dead remake is the most likely because he says that they can't go get Nikolai yet.. And Jason Blundell even said to Milo that we will learn and know about the blood vials before dlc 4 soooo Dlc 3 is what, I presume, will be a MOTD remake

The radio in lab B sounds like he was getting younger. Its on the top floor behind a light

Did u know the way richtoffen says he can't kill nikloai yet because there are a chain of avents that must be set in motion noklai says the same thing in the giant starting cutscene not any thing big just putting it out there

Just a thought but could the vials of blood have something to do with dr Monty due to the fact we use (vials) of liquid divinium for gobblegums

each person has two vials so for example takeos vials are dempsy and nicks blood just none of them contain ricks blood (sorry for spelling errors)

I haven't seen anyone propose this, but I think there's a possibility DLC 4 will be this chain of events that they just set in motion. Next DLC we'll go to Stalingrad and then in DLC 4 Primis will get the blood vials from the MotD crew. Or maybe I'm wrong and it'll be the next game or it'll never be a map and what happened will just be given in pieces as we go. An interesting idea though I think.

Okay, when the hoppend dimensions, their personalities started to fuse, right? So mayeb those blood vials are a safety measure against their personalities fusing too much and them forgettign their original goal.

i think they got back in time to get blood of the 1.0 crew in case they lose the summoning key. thats why richtoffen calls it the backup

maybe the summoning key takes them to places the blood fills it up to take them there

Probably Dempsey has blood vials of his 2.0 version and 1.0 version, same with Nikolai, but idk about Nikolai.
