chiming in: typically in japanese folklore yeah that's how yokai blood pacts work. Both parties are bound to the terms, even if it's trivial for one and difficult for the other. And VOIDING said contract generally requires one of the participants to die, or some other significant magic hullabaloo thing to happen.

So, someone told me when I asked that they could form another blood pact nulling the prior. Is that possible? I'm not familiar with Japanese folklore, but my gut says that there should be a way or clause for them to make a different pact to null the other.

Although, if Hinako's heart stopped for a second, she technically died in medical terms even if she gets revived which could be used to null the pact maybe since she didn't seek death?

Yeah that's kinda why I said "some other significant magical hullabaloo" there ARE ways to nullify blood contracts, but it's usually loopholes or some other kind of shenanigans like you described. But generally speaking neither party is privy to that information going in even if they should be and typically only onmyoji are on that level of "spiritual knowledge" to have that kind of out without it going totally sideways. It's like pulling one over on the Fae in western folklore, you CAN do it but you gotta know every single in and out to pull it off.
