* [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/arcade/a/mshsfaku.htm In Akuma's ending,]] someone speaks to him that Apocalypse also improved him. Turns out to be... [[JokeCharacter Dan]]. Akuma wastes him with a Gou Shoryuken.
-->'''Dan:''' [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Ouch. That hurt.]]
* [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/arcade/a/mshsfdan.htm In Dan's ending,]] he's ready to deal the final blow to Cyber-Akuma, and then, his sister appears, and turns out that Akuma is... [[LukeIAmYourFather their father???]] (This parodies the TwistEnding of ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting''. Dan's sister would actually [[CanonImmigrant be canonized]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV about two decades later]], but jury's out on the Dan-Akuma connection...)
* The VersusCharacterSplash art (also used for [[SuperMovePortraitAttack Hyper Combos]]) usually depicts characters that are ready for a clash. You can tell by their expressions and poses that they're primed for battle. Dan's art? He's such a SmallNameBigEgo that he's seen [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/8/84/Dan123.gif shrugging with a smug grin on his face]], as if to say "Hmph. [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Where's the challenge]]?"
