Because of the Wings of Magius's work, there was a severe drought of Witches in areas outside of Kamihama, which ultimately led to a very bloody civil war in Futatsugi between the three gangs. After months of fighting and dozens of deaths, they learned that the Magius had caused their Witch drought and united on the basis of vengeance.

## Trivia

* The names of the former factions refer to animals. In particular, Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi refer to the duality between dragon and tiger, respectively, while Janomiya refers to a snake. It should be noted that Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi in particular were bound in a rivalry.
* Yuna, Juri and Ao forming a sisterhood is likely referencing the Oath of the Peach Garden in the historical novel about Three Kingdoms in China.
* In the Oath of the Peach Garden, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers although they are not related by blood.
* This ceremony later evolved over time in the mafia world, as during the similar ceremony, the participants cut their fingers, let blood flowed out and mixed into their drink, then drink them together, as if their blood has blended together to make them siblings.
* The Promised Blood were a structured and hierarchical group with the three sisters - First-born Sister, Second-born Sister , Third-born Sister (boss, regarded as a surrogate Big Sister) at the top and Younger Sister(妹, imouto) (subordinate gang members, regarded as a surrogate Younger Sister) at the bottom. This hierarchy resembles a structure similar to the family – like a Yakuza's hierarchy structure(oyabun-kobun relationship).
* During the battle between Torayamachi and Ryuugasaki on Monzenbashi Bridge, each faction is shown to have 18 members (plus 2 in Ryuugasaki and 1 in Torayamachi who did not participate in the battle). As 11 more girls died before the formation of Promised Blood, it can be assumed Promised Blood has about 28 members (not including Ulala).
* **Nozomi Tamaki** Really doesn't like some of the Promised Blood Memebers they would scold her and tell her not to be weak, even be emotionless she knows what they're really they just trying to toughen her up, but the methods they use are not really that working right, there's only four girls in promised blood that Nozomi can trust beside other member's of Promised Blood, those being Yuna, Ao, Juri and Hikaru are members she perfers to talk too.
