Venus Islands

Venus Islands
Appearance(s)	Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation (2017)

The Venus Islands are a small tropical archipelago in the southern hemisphere, which acts as the primary location for Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation. It shares some similarities to New Zack Island, including that Zack is the implied owner of the island.

History

The exact history of the Venus Islands is unknown other than Zack having acquired it at some point and presumably hired a skeleton staff for it. It was known for its Venus Festival, a female-exclusive festival designed to celebrate womens' beauty and strength (although Ayane implies that it's created as an excuse to play Beach Volleyball). Supposedly, the origins of the Venus Festival originated from when an Island God (a statue made in Zack's likeness) made a decree to form a festival to bring about happiness when a never-ending storm plagued humans and mermaids alike, although this was implied to have been made up by the formal owner of the Island.

At some point, Zack hired a tenant for the island to oversee the island's development into the ultimate resort, although he neglected to give full details to the newly-arrived owner, requiring Misaki, one of the workers at the island, to show him the ropes.

At some point, several of the female participants in past Dead or Alive World Combat Championship tournaments arrived at the island for various reasons relating to the festival. A few other females also arrived to participate for their own reasons.

Aside from the Venus Festival itself, they also had various themed festivals, many times given at the suggestion of several of the female guests.

Locales

The areas of the island included six volleyball courts, at least one shopping complex, a dock for yachts, a single multi-story hotel with a pool area and bar a lighthouse, a massive statue in Zack's likeness and a tropical jungle which covered 40% of the island's land mass. The area itself is composed of three islands, one of which acts as a volleyball court. An airport presumably exists on the island, due to Tamaki briefly mentioning that she still had jet lag right before being offered to introduce herself to everyone on the island.

List of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball locations

• Jungle - A jungle in the island’s interior. The lush vegetation means the sun isn’t as strong here as on the beach.
• Nikki Beach - A beach that spans the southern shore of Zack Island. It’s named after Niki, Zack’s girlfriend.
• Private Beach - Zack’s private beach on the island’s northern shore. There are some mysterious animals living there.
• Bass Island - A small island off the southeast shore of Zack Island. It’s so tiny, you can’t even see it when the tide’s in. It may be named after Bass Armstrong as a joke.
• Hotel - The hotel there the girls stay for their 2-week ‘vacation’.
  • Owner's Room - The personal quarters for the owner of the island.
• Accessory Shop - This shop stocks hats, sunglasses, sneakers, and other accessories.

Trivia

• As seen on Nyotengu's opening episode on Xtreme Venus Vacation, it is hinted that, similar to New Zack Island has some kind of ability to neutralize any magic type powers. However, the only way to get the magic user's powers back is to satisfy them. Nyotengu's satisfaction in case is to teach her the true meaning of having fun of humanity, such as hang out each other and get to know them well.
• Several of the locales are reused from Dead or Alive Xtreme 3.
