* The only thing she is good at, other than cheering people up, is making rice cakes.
* Honoka from the *Corpse Seed* series has a strong resemblance to her.
* Many of Honoka's attacks pay homage to several different media:
	+ She are paid homage by Momotaros, a character from *Kamen Rider Den-O* a tokusatsu show. They both can cut through multiple enemies at once with a single slash. Chidori Shippu can create a shockwave that slices through anything in its path, while Den-O Extreme Slash can launch a lightning-shaped aura sword that can be controlled remotely.
	+ Her Getsuga Tensho is usually orange in color and creates a crescent wave of energy. Den-O Extreme Slash Part 2 is red in color and creates a cross-shaped slash of energy that can be controlled by the user’s will.

However, Momotaros performs the move with her bare sword, and the explosion is caused by her ashes an explosive on her opponent.
	+ Her Shakunetsu Getsuga Tensho where she plants an explosive on her opponent then moving away from the opponent while making a pose, is actually a homage to *Kamen Rider Black RX*—a Japanese tokusatsu show where the hero impaled his enemy with his sword, Revolcane, and proceed to do the same pose as fireworks came out from his opponent's belly and eventually exploded.

However, Leona performs the move with her bare hands, and the explosion is caused by her planting an explosive on her opponent.
* The various media in the project disagree on the relationships between the second-years. In the manga which was published earlier, Honoka is closer to Umi as the two of them are childhood friends and not Kotori, but in the anime and other newer media, the three of them are all childhood friends.
	+ There has also been a Q&A answered in a magazine which stated that Honoka and Kotori are childhood friends because their mothers were also childhood friends, and they've always been living on the same street.
