## Trivia

There are many references and double meanings in the chapter names. In the Q&A session titled "@#%& #2", seven8nine explains the meaning of some chapters when asked.

* Some chapter names are based off of songs; seven8nine confirmed references to Sit Down! by NCT 127 and Outta My Head by Somi. "Sitting on My Throne" is a reference to the song Solo by Jennie, "Your Gold's Just Plastic" is a reference to On The Ground by Rosé, and "Take Me to Your Paradise" references Hell In Heaven by TWICE.

* "Slayer vs. Anchor" is a reference to two roles weapons in Splatoon 2 have: Slayers are aggressive weapons whose job is to push up and get picks, while Anchors are backliners whose jobs are to hold down the objective and support their teammates from behind.

* "Lyrical and Technical" is a reference to band auditions; oftentimes musicians will be asked to prepare two etudes, a lyrical and a technical. Lyrical etudes judge how much emotion one can put into the piece, and technical etudes judge the skills of a musician.

* Card suits are referenced in a few chapter titles: "10 of Hearts" is referring to Chiyo Nakahara, who coincidentally also has the number 10. "Ace, Queen, Jack" refers to Mina, Sejeong and Misaki, and they're missing the 'king', or Nishimura, who appears in "The "King" Emerges".
