Lollipop Chainsaw is a video game that follows
the life of Juliet, a zombie-killing, chainsaw-wielding cheerleader. The intro
to the game is a brief summary of Juliet’s life and it is very obvious that
this game is meant for a male audience. As one moves through the game there are
obstacles of masses zombie clusters that require a special combo called Sparkle Blast, that when achieved is a
scene of a chainsaw that is revving in the middle with lollipops and stars
surrounding and sparkling. There is even a special that gives a player bonus
points if they can get the camera focus to look under Juliet’s skirt. The game is to give the male viewer control
over her body and her actions.
The game is very ecchi (Japanese
term meaning naughty or dirty). It is also a one player game which means this
is meant for a solo experience. This empowers a player and gives a sense of
ownership of Juliet while killing hordes of zombies. Another sign is that at
one point she cuts the head off her boyfriend, Nick, who got turned into a
zombie and wears his head on her belt. Nick gives her directions at times and
the player can throw his head as wrecking ball to shut him up as if the only
person to control Juliet is the player. The use of her body is to give pleasure
to a viewer both sexual and visual, which is very common in Japanese created
games.
