4	!!!In general
5	* Kurenai being the only Taimanin to roam around Tokyo Kingdom when the task force meets her in chapter 11 makes a lot of sense that she's doing reconnaissance inside enemy territory to hunt down Edwin Black.
6	* In the 2023 Christmas event "A Holy Night of Poison", Wight is unable to mimic Noah's appearance is due to the fact that she forgot to take into account that the latter is actually an artificial spawn of Edwin Black, given that that the Wraiths themselves, like their Death Wraith counterparts, view Black as public enemy No. 1.
7	* Lina sharing the same primary weapon as Asagi and Annerose, that being a standard ninja sword makes sense given that she is a fan of ''[[ShowWithinAShow Taimanin Five]]'', despite the fact while being affiliated with the Nomad, a crime syndicate that's hostile to the Taimanins.
8	* Due to the fact that the Nomad [[ShadowDictator ran almost half of the world's governments]] much like in the source material, it turns out their grip on the superpowers like the UFS, the Chinese Union, and other countries is meant to broker peace and maintain balance from a diplomatic standpoint. With Edwin Black's defeat and Momochi's information of Nomad's connections to world governments being leaked, that balance is ultimately shattered, resulting the world descending into further turmoil that could likely result in humanity fighting against each other.
9	* The craftable PaletteSwap ClothingSwitch costumes for the playable roster reflect on the relationship with the other characters:
10	** Asagi and Sakura can wear Murasaki's suit, since Murasaki has a huge admiration for the former, while she is the latter's rival.
11	** Both Murasaki and Emily can wear Asagi's attire. And as mentioned above, even Emily has her own fixation for the Almighty Taimanin.
12	** Oboro can wear Ingrid's Hell Knight uniform, the latter can also wear Oboro's Taimanin suit. This is reflected by the fact that despite working both as Edwin Black's enforcers, the two Nomad executives do not get along. Their vitriol can even reach boiling points without Black witnessing it.
13	*** Lina can wear her mentor's uniform, symbolizing her desire to follow Ingrid's footsteps as a Hell Knight.
14	** Felicia and Kirara can wear Kurenai's suit and longcoat. One should remember that Felicia and Kurenai [[CainAndAbel are sisters of opposing alignments]] in ''Taimanin Kurenai'', which was never brought upon in this game. Both Kirara and Kurenai are half-demons who experienced similar upbringings, but with different circumstances. Both girls have their own unique relationships with Kotaro -- Kurenai and Kotaro are childhood friends, and Kirara acts like a {{tsundere}} towards him.
15	** Rin and Hebiko can wear Shikanosuke's outfit, despite being not playable in the game. Rin is Shikanosuke's cousin and sister figure, while Hebiko is the one [[TwoGuysAndAGirl the only girl in Fuuma's friend circle with Shikanosuke]].
16	** Spinel and Lapis can wear each others' outfit since they together lead the Wild Fang demon mercenaries.
17	!!!Battle Arena-related Lore
18	* With the exceptions of Astaroth, Annerose, Aina, Eleonor, Hebiko, Lapis, Lina, Maika, Saika, Shisui, Sora, and Spinel, the Battle Arena follows an ElementalRockPaperScissors mechanic based on another character they are facing:
19	** Asagi[[note]]Has advantage over Murasaki, but disadvantage against Sakura[[/note]], Murasaki[[note]]Has advantage over Sakura, but disadvantage against Asagi[[/note]], and Sakura[[note]]Has advantage over Asagi, but disadvantage against Murasaki[[/note]]
20	*** Underneath her stern exterior, Murasaki is very devoted to Asagi, which is more than just simple admiration, to the point she's willing to hold back for her.
21	*** Sakura, being her younger sister, has made a name for herself as a seasoned Taimanin, despite having helped Asagi in multiple missions and even if she isn't noticed that well.
22	*** Both Sakura and Murasaki are {{foil}}s to each other, not surprising they don't get along and both try to win Asagi's approval. She and Murasaki often go on missions together, to the point they are called as the duo known as "Sakumura".
23	** Yukikaze[[note]]Has advantage over Rinko, but disadvantage against Shiranui[[/note]], Rinko[[note]]Has advantage over Shiranui, but disadvantage against Yukikaze[[/note]], and Shiranui[[note]]Has advantage over Yukikaze, but disadvantage against Rinko[[/note]]
24	*** Yukikaze and Rinko are childhood friends and partners-in-crime on missions, the latter also serves as the CoolBigSis for Yukikaze.
25	*** Shiranui is Yukikaze's mother and is also the closest to a mother figure to Rinko as well, a veteran Taimanin herself whose skills are on par with Asagi's.
26	** Asuka[[note]]Has advantage over Kurenai, but disadvantage against Kirara[[/note]], Kurenai[[note]]Has advantage over Kirara, but disadvantage against Asuka[[/note]], and Kirara[[note]]Has advantage over Asuka, but disadvantage against Kurenai[[/note]]
27	*** All three are HalfHumanHybrid Taimanins: Asuka is a {{cyborg}} whose main weapons are prosthetics, Kurenai is a half-vampire, and Kirara is an oni that can manipulate ice.
28	*** Both Asuka and Kurenai serve as {{Arch Enem\|y}}ies to Edwin Black, who is responsible for the deaths of their respective familes. Kirara, on the other hand, is an entirely different story[[labelnote:Explanation]]''[[VideoGame/TaimaninRPGExtasy RPGX]]'' reveals that Kirara's father died at some point while her mother went into hiding in the Demon Realm, and her father lied about killing her mother, so to protect her from Teutates. Not to mention, Teutates is also implied to have a connection to Edwin Black and even plans to kill him to be the "true Black", assuming that Teutates also exists in ''Action''[='=]s timeline.[[/labelnote]], making her an anomaly between the two.
29	** Su[[note]]Has advantage over Noah, but disadvantage against Emily[[/note]], Emily[[note]]Has advantage over Su, but disadvantage against Noah[[/note]], and Noah[[note]]Has advantage over Emily, but disadvantage against Su[[/note]]
30	*** All three are foreign assets to the Task Force -- Su and Emily are representatives of two known superpowers, the Chinese Union and the UFS, respectively. Noah, on the other hand, being an artificial spawn of Edwin Black represents the Demon Realm, and the only known demon to end up with the team.
31	** Oboro[[note]]Has advantage over Felicia, but disadvantage against Ingrid[[/note]], Ingrid[[note]]Has advantage over Oboro, but disadvantage against Felicia[[/note]], and Felicia[[note]]Has advantage over Ingrid, but disadvantage against Oboro[[/note]]
32	*** Oboro is the sadistic enforcer of the Nomad, Ingrid is Edwin Black's [[TheConsigliere secretary]] and the two of them [[RedOniBlueOni get along like oil and water]]. Felicia is Black's biological daughter who is just equally as insane as Oboro.
33	*** Black has a very close relationship with Felicia, while his relationship to Ingrid leans more on the professional aspect, despite her own growing feelings for him.
34	** Tokiko[[note]]Has advantage over Rin, but disadvantage against Shizuru[[/note]], Shizuru[[note]]Has advantage over Tokiko, but disadvantage against Rin[[/note]], and Rin[[note]]Has advantage over Shizuru, but disadvantage against Tokiko[[/note]]
35	*** Both three are faculty members in Gosha Academy in addition to being active Taimanins -- Shizuru has two doctorate degrees, fluent in six different languages, and an expert in multiple fields. Tokiko is known for her photographic memory and clairvoyance due to being able to process information from books or computers using her ninja arts. Rin is a substitute teacher who teaches field training classes when not assigned in a mission.
36	!!!Intimacy Episodes
37	* Why does Torajiro insist on taking a bath with Fuuma in her episode, and then Ichirota would join them soon after? Since Torajiro is a feline beastman, a weretiger to be exact, and her brother Ichirota being a werewolf, this gives the impression of pet animals bathing together with their owners. Cats should be given baths once every 4-6 weeks, depending on how often they groom themselves, and the environment they're usually in. If the cat is more outdoorsy and soils itself while playing, it's a good idea to help with the grooming process as they alone won't be able to properly get cleaned. Dogs on the other hand, need a bath every one to three months to minimize odor and oil buildup, but this can vary depending on certain factors.

39	!FridgeHorror
40	* As if instigating a ZombieApocalypse wasn't enough, the simple fact that Momochi can upload a mere piece of information about the Demon Realm, Nomad, and world governments bending the knee to demons raises a cause for alarm. Not helped by Momochi's FantasticRacism towards demons who corrupt mankind, he's more than willing to attempt genocide by tricking humanity and demonkind into setting up their own self-destruction.
41	* Toyo's daughter Nagi joining with the Task Force also comes with her having a target painted on her back by the remnants of her father's inner circle. She basically became a nukenin to her own father's organization. Even though Kotaro welcomed her with open arms, this will not stop her father's soldiers from coming after her when going outside of Gosha.
42	* The Yukikaze and Murasaki the player fight in Chapter 21 being clones bring a foreboding implication that whoever created them are possibly ordered to sabotage the Task Force. Which probably confirms Asagi's insinuation to the UFS congrrssman, as well as Yamamoto's suspicions of the UFS. As a result, the real Yukikaze and Murasaki went into hiding while Rinko and Sakura had to work in clearing their names.
43	** Now imagine yourself in Shiranui's shoes: learning of your daughter going missing in action, and then find out that the one attacking a military base turning out to be a cyborg doppelganger. It's like ''Taimanin Yukikaze'' in reverse, but this time it's Yukikaze who ends up missing and Shiranui has to go and find her daughter.
44	** One would be left to wonder if the playable Yukikaze in the game is actually the ''same'' clone acting as a ManchurianAgent for another evil organization. Her [[https://taimanin.fandom.com/wiki/Yukikaze_(Clone)#Timeline_Action page]] in the Taimanin Wiki even suggests as such.
