CreatORG: Manga no Sekai - Chi v Mizu

***CreatORG: Manga no Sekai - Chi v. Mizu***, also known as ***CreatORG: Blood vs. Water***, is the fourteenth and penultimate season of *CreatORG*.

## Twists & Changes

* **Blood v. Water**: Players applied and were cast in pairs, each pair would then be divided onto opposite tribes where they had to compete against each other.
* **Soul Chain**: An addendum to *Blood v. Water*, each pair received a Soul Chain, where they would be able to talk in a channel, exchange currency and advantages with their partner across tribal lines. If a player ever were in danger, they may choose to sever their chain while on an opposing tribe of their partner, discontinuing their cross-tribe communication permanently and gaining an **Extra Vote**, good only at the next Tribal Council they attend, while punishing their partner by removing their vote at their own Tribal Council.
* **Shinigami**: Each round, players will receive a randomized Mokuhyō which they will earn Reishi and Seishen for performing an action against them, voting them, getting 1 or 2 other players to cast a vote for them, getting them successfully voted out, or having their loved one vote the person alongside them. These currencies would prove useful to being the only way to acquire advantages.
	+ **Reishi**: An 'energy' currency, used for interacting with the Shinigami twist, for mechanics such as rerolling a new Mokuhyō for that round, offering bounty tokens to bribe people into voting your Mokuhyō with you, disabling any Seishen gains for voting you in a specific round, etc.
	+ **Seishen**: The 'reward' currency, used solely to redeem advantages that were offered in the rotating Seishen Shop at the start of each cycle. The advantages included Gambling Frenzy, Plus Ultra, Kagune, Butterfly Effect, Scroll Contract, Totoro, Eva Mecha, The World, Friendship Hug, and Founding Titan
* **Double Tribal Council**: In *"Watching Her Burn, Fall Icarus Fall"*, only one tribe would win Tribal Immunity and the other two tribes would attend Tribal Council separately to vote out one member each.
* **Three Tribe Swaps**: For the first time in *CreatORG*, this season featured three different swaps:
	+ **First Swap**: The first swap occurred on Day 6, where the remaining twenty-one players were shuffled onto tribes of seven.
	+ **Second Swap**: The Yokoyama tribe was temporarily dissolved and the remaining eighteen players were swapped onto two tribes of nine on Day 12. This swap was predetermined through means that have not been officially announced yet.
	+ **Third Swap**: The Hasegawa tribe was switched out for Yokoyama on Day 16 and the remaining sixteen players (and Totoro) were swapped onto two tribes of eight, this time through randomization again.
* **Double Elimination**: For the first Tribal Council of the merge, the two players with the highest number of votes would be eliminated from the game rather than one.

## Trivia

* While *Vanaspati* is the final season to have an entire cast of all new players, *Manga no Sekai* is the final season to cast new players at all.
