Source notes
This page is labeled Official Source. Official facts come from Capcom or platform holders; route and strategy records use the cited post-launch guides and reproducible videos.
Official Source identifies material published by Capcom or a platform holder. Community Verified means multiple post-launch databases or guides agree. Needs Verification means a route, count, reward or gameplay detail still needs stronger evidence.
