## Trivia

* Taskmaster wore a skull mask as inspired by Santa Muerte, Saint Death "The Lady of Shadows" in honor of her solidarity. He picked up this mask on his first mission for Org while re-training Mexican Special Forces.
Sora

**Sora** is the main protagonist of the *Kingdom Hearts* series. He fought Grimmjow from Bleach in the bonus episode of Mini Rumble Season 2: the Double Pack, where Meta Knight from Kirby fights Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho in the same episode.

## Description

A boy who lived on Destiny Islands with his friends Riku and Kairi, Sora ended up embarking on a grand adventure the night his home was attacked by the Heartless. During this, he obtained a weapon called the Keyblade. After his world was swallowed by the darkness, he found himself in Traverse Town, where he met Donald and Goofy. With the Keyblade and the help of his new friends, Sora protects the worlds from the Heartless and other threats presented by Maleficent and Master Xehanort.

## Trivia

* Although none of the parents of the characters on the Destiny Islands are shown on screen, Sora's mother can be heard calling him for dinner during the calamity in the first game. Also, in *Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories*, Sora mentions both his mother and father while reminiscing about Naminé, and Riku mentions Sora's father to Terra in *Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep*.
* In *Kingdom Hearts*, *Kingdom Hearts II* and *Kingdom Heart 3D: Dream Drop Distance*, during every cutscene involving Sora's Keyblade, the Keyblade assumes the appearance of whatever Keychain the player has equipped. The only cutscenes where this doesn't apply are the scenes when Sora meets up with Riku during the 2nd visit to Traverse Town, Sora and King Mickey seal away Kingdom Hearts when Riku temporarily takes the Keyblade from Sora in Hollow Bastion, and before the Battle of 1000 Heartless in which he has the Kingdom Key. In the scenes with Riku, the Keyblade retains Sora's Keychain while in Sora's possession but reverts to the Kingdom Key while in Riku's hands.
* Though the player can have Sora pick any of the Dream Weapons in *Kingdom Hearts,* *Kingdom Hearts 3D* confirms that Sora canonically picked the Dream Sword, as he is seen wielding it in a memory. The sword also appears as his Zero Gear weapon in *358/2 Days*.
* In the Olympus Coliseum level of *Kingdom Hearts*, Sora's victory poses are based off of Cloud and Leon's victory poses in *Final Fantasy VII* and *Final Fantasy VIII* respectively.
* Other than Sora himself, Roxas, Riku, and Naminé are the only characters who had appeared in Sora's Station of Awakening.
* Ironically if you count, Roxas' and Xion's hearts inside of Sora along with his own, Ventus' and Kairi's hearts, he holds the record for having the most hearts in a single body with a total of five.

## Trivia

* Her Shikusen has follow up moves called "Second Impact" and "Third Strike", a reference to the last two games in the *Street Fighter III* sub series.

* Juri's seductive behavior as well as her association with spiders is most likely based on the Jorogumo mythlogy of a demon female spider who seduces her victims into holding a spider egg for her before she devours her victims. Said association could also be a nod to the Western beliefs of spiders being manipulators who deceive and trap others.
	+ Additionally, her name written in Hanja contains the Chinese character for spider (蛛).

* Yoshinori Ono commented that Capcom faced some criticism over Juri's appearance. Fan reaction to Juri in South Korea, her home country, has been less than positive. Critics claim, among other complaints, that Juri looks too much like Chun-Li and shares similar moves.

* Juri shares her birthday (New Year's Day) with Batsu Ichimonji from the *Rival Schools* series.
* Juri's official measurements in *Street Fighter IV* were B83/W56/H85. Her official weight was 46kg, about 25 pounds lighter than she is in *Street Fighter V*.

Ironically, Juri is actually a low health character in said game. This means she actually can take less damage than most of the cast before she is defeated.

Jim took a liking to the suit and after putting it on his size, intelligence and a face grew. With the suit's power, Jim set off to defeat Psy-Crow and the queen and rescue Princess-What's-Her-Name.

* There was a clever reference to Jim in the PC game *Sacrifice*, wherein players could choose to serve the god James, the earth god, in their quest.

Sephiroth

**Sephiroth** is one of the main antagonists of the *Final Fantasy* series. He fought Hakumen from Blazblue in episode 14 of Mini Rumble Season 2.

## Descrition

During pregnancy, Sephiroth's mother was injected with cells from an alien being known as Jenova, which merged Jenova's cells with Sephiroth's unborn body. After birth, he was taken in and trained by the Shinra Electric Power Company to become a super soldier, and he eventually rose to the rank of a SOLDIER First Class and was celebrated as a war hero.

One day, Sephiroth, Zack Fair, and a young Cloud Strife were sent on a mission to investigate a monster outbreak in Nibelheim. There, he saw humans mutated into monsters, and also a chamber with the name of his "mother" on it. In shock, Sephiroth tried to find the truth, which turned him insane. He came to the conclusion that he was the last Cetra, and that he must take vengeance on humans for their "betrayal" against the Cetra 2000 years ago. He slaughtered the people of Nibelheim and went out to claim Jenova's remains, but was stopped by Cloud and supposedly fell to his death.

This event led to Sephiroth ending up in the Lifestream, but his will was too strong to be consumed, so he spent years traveling through it and learning. After his body was rebuilt from fragments, his new goal became to merge with the Lifestream and become a god.
Mimi Jubie

Mimi Jubie is a character from Mini Rumble and Riot Rumble.

## Description

Mimi Jubie is the best friend of Venus Lailey (XVX-tan), and the girl who does all the behind-the-scenes work (including information-seeking, recording the fights that occur between "foreigners" using her special drones, designing coslay ideas for XVX-tan (She's quite the artist), applying new ideas to improve each of the shows, etc. But outside the Rumble shows, she's also in charge of taking care of the little apartment she and Venus live in.

Like Venus, it' not known what her true race is, but it is presumed to be the same as hers (even if her small and supposedly "noseless" appearance makes this kind of doubtful).

Between the two, Mimi is the most responsible and mature; though she's also the "nerdy" one, showing a ton of fascination for pop-culture media. (Hence the merchandise you'll see throughout the appartment, such as osters, figures, dakimanuras, etc. [This isn't even going into her love for bootleg items.] Although at the moment, it's unknown where she got most of these items and can honestly be seen as kind of creepy if one considers the foreigners co-exist with these products. But we're not here to doubt the morale of our main stars.)

While she may be older than Venus, Mimi and her met when they were children, both being neighbors and going to the same school all the way up into high school (albeit in different class). Mimi would encounter Venus throughout the years, even if both were polar opposites (a nerd and a girl who seems to be part of a gang; a girl who uses her words to defend herself and a girl who decides to use her fists). In spite of this, they're still neighborhood sisters! They've helped each other survive throughout recess and outside of school, and they still continue to help each other out to this day.

## Quotes

### ***Mini Rumble***

* Are you sure you want to do this, Venus?

### ***Riot Rumble***

* How strange, I don't recall this being the post-credits scene.
* Maybe it's arecording from a long time ago because she's incapable of shutting up.
Himiko Toga

**Himiko Toga** ( *Toga Himiko***?**) is a major antagonist of the *My Hero Academia* series. She fought against Toko Fukawa from Danganonpa in the Riot Rumble series.

## Quotes

* I can't believe it! You take pleasure from stabbing people you fall in love too? I never thought I'd finally find someone like me! I'm sooo happy!
* Aww, but that's just YOUR opinion. I LOVE frinking blood! There's nothing wrong with that. \*sigh\* Come on, I just wanted us to change the world together, as friends!
* Too slow.
* Aww, what's the matter?
* Oh, that's alright... I'LL JUST BORROW YOURS!

## Trivia

* Concept art of Himiko already had her as an archetypal "yandere" (Japanese lingo used to describe a character who's dangerously obsessive towards another). One potential design included a different, plainer face with short pigtails instead of the messy hair buns present in the current Himiko design. She also had an entire row of sharp teeth instead of just prominent canines.
	+ The prototype sketches of Himiko state that she is possibly bisexual, meaning she may be attracted to both males and females. It is unconfirmed whether this character trait has been kept in the main series. However, it is likely, as Himiko has expressed her "love" towards both Izuku and Ochaco.
	+ Notably, Himiko's ability to use the Quirks of people she transforms into was first mentioned alongside those sketches, before the story confirmed it properly in Chapter 266.
* In the third *My Hero Academia* anime opening, "Sora ni Utaeba", Himiko was shown as a silhouette, foreshadowing her appearance to come.
* Himiko's rankings in the Popularity Polls are as follows:
	+ Ranked 19th place in the Second and Third Popularity Polls.
	+ Ranked 9th place in the Fifth Popularity Poll.
	+ Ranked 17th place in the Sixth Popularity Poll.
* According to Horikoshi, Himiko is the hardest to illustrate of all the female characters he has created so far, her eyes and hair being particularly difficult.
* Himiko is the first character in the series to have her name revealed in katakana rather than kanji. This was likely done to avoid hinting at her Quirk.
	+ Himiko's surname contains the kanji for "migrate" (渡 *to***?**) and "self" (我 *ga***?**), and her first name contains "wear, put on" (被 *hi***?**), "somebody" (身 *mi***?**) and "child," which is also a feminine name suffix (子 *ko***?**).
* While Himiko's Quirk was revealed 46 chapters after her proper debut in Chapter 68, it was hinted by her introductory quote to Tomura, where she stated her desire "to be Stainy".
* Himiko is currently the youngest member of the League of Villains and the only female member following the demise of Magne and only female lieutenant in the PLF.
* She likes blood and pomegranates.
* Due to TV regulations in Japan, Himiko couldn't be naked in the original broadcasts of episodes where she was supposed to be. Instead, the footage was altered to look like she was wearing a kind of light skin tone body suit under her disguises. This was changed in the home releases of the seasons.
Rayman

**Rayman** is the main protagonist of the video game series of the same name. He fought Shantae in episode 4 of Season 2 of Riot Rumble.

## Description

The manual for Rayman 2 states that Rayman was found by fishermen, having washed up on the shore of the Sea of Lums, and won the trust of the people of the Glade of Dreams by defeating Mr. Dark. Upon collecting all 1,000 Lums in the game, the player is told that Rayman is the only being in the Glade not to be dreamt into existence by Polokus, and that his origins and the identity of his parents are a mystery. It is speculated (in the game) that Rayman could be a "chosen one" selected by all the gods of all the worlds, destined to fight against evil.

A different account is provided by Rayman Origins: the launch trailer shows him being created from moonbeams by Betilla the Fairy in the Primordial Forest, destined from creation to protect the Glade of Dreams from Dark forces. The game's manual states that Rayman was created by the nymphs, who dropped a sack of Lums when distracted by some "zombie chickens" on the way to perform the ritual, resulting in Rayman's incomplete, limbless form.

## Trivia

* Due to a reaction during an activity in *Rayman Premier Clics* and due to the cover picture in a Joystick's magazine about *Rayman 3*, it is presumed that Rayman loves chocolate.
* Rayman can play the harmonica and the ukulele, as shown in *Rayman Activity Centre* and *Rayman Jungle Run* respectively.
* With the exception of the third volume, Rayman makes a cameo appearance in all volumes of Thitaume and Pujol's Rabbids comic books.
* Rayman was parodied in a comic strip in the second volume of Joueur du Grenier, with the main character being dressed like him. The joke poked fun at the limbless attributes of Rayman.
* Despite not having a neck, Rayman is still able to eat and swallow. This is seen in the opening cutscene of *Rayman Origins*.
* Rayman was about to have legs again during the development of *Rayman 3*, but the idea was quickly put aside.
* In *Rayman Legends*, it seems that Rayman did not age at all after the 100 years nap; the same goes for every other character returning from *Rayman Origins*.
	+ However, his voice clips have changed from *Rayman Origins*.
* Rayman, Globox and Barbara appear as collectible trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, with models supplied by Ubisoft.
* A recurring gag is that Rayman is always seen sleeping in the beginning of every main game.

## Description

Prior to being trapped in the game, Asuna was known to be somewhat stuck-up and proud of her position in a well-to-do family. However, she was terrified by the thought of being unable to leave the game, but eventually found the resolve to take charge of her own fate, recklessly slaying hordes of monsters on her own and leveling up at a rapid pace to the point of gaining infamy within the community.

Nicknamed *"The Flash"* for her nearly unparalleled speed, she crossed paths with Kirito numerous times, eventually becoming one of his closest allies and later his betrothed.
Kazuya Mishima

**Kazuya Mishima** is one of the main characters in the *Tekken* series.

## Description

**Kazuya Mishima** was born to Heihachi Mishima and Kazumi Mishima. As a 5-year old child, Kazuya was thrown down a cliff by his father Heihachi who wanted to see if he was not human, since he had his mother's cursed blood. As expected, Kazuya only survived the fall due to the Devil Gene that would ensure the power to defeat his father in exchange for his soul. As a result, Kazuya became more ruthless and cold-hearted.

## Trivia

### XVX

* Excluding Rock, Hotaru, Batsu and Hinata, Kazuya and his opponent are the first video game characters to appear in Season 3 of Mini Rumble.
Ruby Rose

**Ruby Rose** is the main protagonist of the *RWBY* series. She fought Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia in Mini Rumble.

## Description

When Ruby Rose was a young child, her older sister Yang told her bedtime stories about acts of great heroism and similar adventures that would fuel her desire to become a Huntress, which was even further fueled after she and her sister where saved by their hero legend of an uncle, Qrow Branwen, who would later teach Ruby how to use her self-built sniper scythe, Crescent Rose.

After an incident with the notorious criminal Roman Torchwick, the headmaster of Beacon Academy, Professor Ozpin, noticed her skill and let her enroll in the academy two years early. After an adventure in the dangerous wilderness of the Emerald Forest, Ruby was chosen to become the leader of Team RWBY, consisting of her, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and her sister, Yang Xiao Long.
Felicia

**Felicia** is a protagonist from the *Darkstalkers* series.

## Description

She is a catwoman (*bakaneko* in japanese folklore) who was taken in and raised by a sister named Rose, who gave her the name Felicia from the word Felicity.

Despite her identity as a Darkstalker being exposed, she was not turned away by her as Felicia had feared. When Rose passed away, Felicia left her town hoping to be a musical star.

She knew that the outside world was not pretty as it was filled with much prejudice towards Darkstalkers for being different. Despite this, Felicia never lost hope, as she remembered what she was told before that one has to obtain happiness on their own. She wishes there to be a way for peaceful co-existence between Darkstalkers and humans alike. For that, she pursues her dream of becoming a famous musical star to serve as a bridge between the two races.

Eventually, she realized her dream and became a popular star, gaining many fans even among humans, due to her cheerful attitude. During her travels, she also met and befriended other catwomen like her. When Jedah set up his plan of recreating the universe by gathering strong souls, Felicia was transported into Majigen alongside other fellow Darkstalkers. After returning home, Felicia retired from the scenes and opened an orphanage, to take care of lonely children and make them happy, just like Rose did with her when she was young.
Fox McCloud

**Fox McCloud** is the main protagonist of the *Star Fox* series. He fought Samus from Metroid in the second episode of Riot Rumble.

## Description

Fox McCloud was trained at the Cornerian Academy and raised by his father James, who formed the first generation of Star Fox. But soon, the empire of the planet Venom was rising with its leader Andross. James was sent to investigate but was betrayed and killed by Pigma, a member of the Star Fox team and a turncoat working for Andross.

Outraged by the betrayal and the government not doing any action, Fox dropped out of the Academy and formed the second generation of Star Fox with Peppy Hare, Falco Lombardi, and Slippy Toad.

## Trivia

* Fox is the sole member of Star Fox whose full name is confirmed to be accurate to his species, as Peppy and Slippy are a rabbit and frog, contrary to their surnames. Yet the true identity of Falco's genuine species has become a controversy in a recent Iwata Asks interview.
* In the *Star Fox Adventures* official Circuit City art book, they incorrectly describe Fox's eyes as blue.
* *Star Fox: Assault* is currently the only game where Fox does not wear his trademark red scarf.
* In the pre-*Star Fox 64* materials (specifically, the *Star Fox* comic and the *Star Fox Missions Outline*), Fox McCloud, prior to forming Star Fox, was stated to be the leader of a group of bandits that stole from the Imperial Guard in the name of the oppressed. This refers to the story of Robin Hood, who frequently stole from the rich (specifically, Prince John) and returned them to the poor and downtrodden. Coincidentally, the Walt Disney adaptation of the tale had the titular character being portrayed by a fox, and his rival the Sheriff of Nottingham was portrayed as a wolf, which is also clairvoyant of Fox's rival becoming Wolf O'Donnell.
	+ In another form of coincidence, similar to how the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Disney version was depicted with a Southern United States accent, Wolf was given a similar accent in his rendition for *Super Smash Bros. Brawl*.
* Fox's last name "McCloud" is an origin of a Scottish family. His last name may have a relationship with Wolf's last name "O'Donnell", an origin of an Irish family, since there are Scottish Irish in Ireland.
Weiss Schnee

**Weiss Schnee** is one of the main protagonists of the *RWBY* series. She fought Asuna from Sword Art Online in episode 7 of Mini Rumble Season 2.

## Description

As the heiress of the vastly influential Schnee Dust Company, Weiss grew up in a very broken family as her father only married her mother for the riches. Striving to be the best, Weiss took up singing and combat thanks to her older sister, Winter, who taught her the family's Semblance of glyphs and summoning. Determined to escape her father's control, she left for Beacon Academy where she met Ruby, Blake and Yang, who would be part of Team RWBY. Despite the rough introductions, Weiss managed to get along with her new friends.

After the Fall of Beacon, Weiss was sent back to her father's, but eventually left in order to rejoin her sister in Mistral, only to rejoin her teammates in their fight against Salem.
Dr. Eggman

**Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik** is the main antagonist of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. He appeared in Shadow vs Ryuko.

## Description

In his youth, Ivo looked up to his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik as a hero, and believed him to be a great man who had done his best to help mankind. Thus he chose to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a scientist, as well as pursuing a teaching degree (apparently because he liked telling people what to do). However, he soon grew obsessed with the concept of the entire world being under his rule, utterly convinced that the results of a world conquest orchestrated by him would make the world a better place and benefit all of its inhabitants. Using his unmatched intellect, Robotnik began his plans, spending his entire life on his self-righteous mission.

At some point after setting out on his quest for global domination, Dr. Robotnik encountered an abnormally fast blue hedgehog, named Sonic, who would prove to be his greatest nemesis. After their meeting, Dr. Robotnik made several attempts to conquer the world, but at every turn, his plans were laid to waste by Sonic.

As Sonic enjoys teasing his enemies, he has giving his rival the nickname of "Eggman," due to his rotund body shape.

## Quotes

* Pesky little rodent! Get out of my way or else!
* HAHAHA! You're just a kid! You're not worth for an explanation of my magnificent plan!
* Well well, young lady, I guess you leave me no choice! MUHAHAHAHAHA!
Pit

**Pit** is the main protagonist of the *Kid Icarus* series. He fought Marth from Fire Emblem in Episode 5 of Mini Rumble Season 2.

## Description

**Pit** was a young angel boy trapped in the Underworld. Then he was entrusted with a magical bow from the imprisoned Goddess of Light, Palutena as well as a mission to defeat the Queen of the Underworld, Medusa and save Skyworld. He eventually succeeds, becoming the leader of Palutena's army and returning to the action to defeat Medusa once more before going on to eventually defeat Hades, the one who revived Medusa, with the help of the Great Sacred Treasure produced by Dyntos and Dark Pit, his darker clone created by the Mirror of Truth.

## Trivia

* There aren't any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the Putto-like Eros (also known as Cupid), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows. In popular culture, Cupid is often depicted as having arrowheads shaped and colored like hearts due to his love motif. In Pit's official art from the original *Kid Icarus*, and in his trophy from *Super Smash Bros. Melee*, the heads of his arrows are depicted as being heart-shaped.
	+ Pit may also be based on Icarus, the figure for whom the series takes its English title: for example, at the end of *Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters*, Pit's wings fall off after flying too close to the sun. This alludes to the story of Icarus, whose wax-and-feather wings allowed him to fly. However, he goes against his father's warning and flies too close to the sun, melting the wax on his wings and causing him to plummet to his death. A similar allusion is made in *Kid Icarus: Uprising*, when Palutena notes that the Power of Flight can only sustain Pit for five minutes before his wings burn up, causing him to fall.
		- Pit also seems to draw inspiration from Biblical angels. Angels in the Bible are commonly depicted as benevolent messengers and guardians. Pit's position as Palutena's bodyguard and a protector of humans fits the role of a guardian angel.
* There are rumors in the *Smash Bros.* community that Pit was originally intended to be in *Super Smash Bros.* for the Nintendo 64, but may have been cut due to animation problems for his wings and time constraints. However, there is no evidence to support these claims.
* in the English version of *Uprising,* specifically during Chapter 17, Pit is stated to be illiterate.
* He is shown to have a healthy appetite, though he seems to dislike vegetables as shown in *Palutena's Revolting Dinner*. Burgers and the like seem to suit his tastes more, yet he'll still eat anything regardless.

Godzilla

**Godzilla** is the main protagonist of the *Godzilla* series. He fought with the original RX-78-2 Gundam from the *Mobile Suit Gundam* series in episode 10 of Mini Rumble Season 2.

Since the time of the dinosaurs, a giant prehistoric creature layed dormant at the bottom of the ocean, until in 1954, where the US tested their hydrogen bombs in the Pacific Ocean, causing it to disturb and awakening it, as well as mutating it in the process. This creature would be known as Gojira by Japanese... or Godzilla, the King of the Monsters.

Ever since, Godzilla has made Japan his home. Leaving wakes of destruction wherever he goes, destroying cities and armies that tries to stop him. Strangely, he also seems to protect the planet whenever it is in danger. Ranging from several Kaijus like him, whom he had made enemies with throughout the years, to even extraterrestrials.
