## Trivia

* Baseball Pitch and Duck Shout's icon is based on Subaru initial lore of being a sport team manager.
* Duck Whisper and Duck Shout is a reference to Subaru's attempts at ASMR streams, which some joke as being anything but relaxing.
	+ Subaru association with ducks came from the same ASMR stream as viewers described her voice sounding like Donald Duck. The frequent comparison cause it to become a meme with content like putting Subaru voice over into duck video, solidifying the image of Subaru as a duck. The appearance of Subaru duck at the HoloExpo 2022 event and the 2nd HoloAlt PV meant that the meme has been made canon to Subaru's lore.
* Oozora Police is a reference to a running series of streams where Subaru asks for fan input for investigations on the comedic misdeeds of other hololive members. The series first started as a Minecraft stream where Subaru would tour the hololive Minecraft server to look for suspicious activities before morphing into a public court case where her chat would judge various hololive members for misdeeds submitted by that member's fans.
* Sunny Optimism is a reference to her generally sunny disposition, while her skill's functionality might be alluding to her tenacity relating to real-life occurrences (she has openly shared) prior to joining Hololive, such as being born with a hole in her heart (Ventricular Septal Defect), surviving a traffic accident, and her house burning down.
