* **Weapon:** **Naked Rouge** (ネイキッドルージュ, *Neikiddo Rūju*?) - Tsubaki's personal weapon in the form of a scythe which is the same color scheme as her Palette Suit. This weapon can be used for close and far combat, and can launch powerful waves that can slice smaller enemies whenever swung at a powerful impact. which can be used for close combat and far combat.
* **Docking** - Part of the Vivid System, passed down to Tsubaki herself. She has the ability of merging herself with other users of the Vivid System, which used to be activated when the user gives the other user a kiss on the head. This was enhanced and changed to the user holding one hand (or both hands) with the other user that they're about to merge with. It also improves the abilities of both users, depending on the giver and reciever.
