** She also causes a Rune Flower in the virtuaroid Yami Frejya... who isn't even a real person!

[[AC: Meta]]
* Satelight released, with the Japanese BD releases, Region-free discs with English subtitles for the first time in the recent history of the franchise, contrary to the implied behest of Harmony Gold, meaning an easy import solution for English fans.
** The official English subtitles include every single song translated faithfully, ''including when Prince Heinz and the mind-controlled Mikumo sing''.[[note]]In the latter cases, they do not translate them only giving the untranslated lyrics, since even in Japan, they had no translation given.[[/note]] The unofficial translations give a 'best guess' translation which is far from faithful.
** A few months after Delta's run ended, it was discovered Harmony Gold had encountered legal issues, which turned out to be that Big West had finally bought out their licensing agreement, ending '''''permanently''''' Harmony Gold's monopoly.
** Finally, after over a year of speculation, and a convention-only release of the Anime/MacrossFrontier movies, Nozomi Entertainment licensed Macross Delta for '''''American''''' ''release'', ending months of speculation with the announcement of the new primary licensee of Macross... and it's not Harmony Gold.
* On their third album, Freyja does a cover of Ranka's signature song, Seikan Hikou, and Mikumo covers one of Sheryl's signature songs, Diamond Crevasse.
** Which had already been topped by the final track on their second album... [[Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove Ai Obote Imasuka]], done by ''all'' of Walkure! Anyone bummed out by the ''bless the little queen'' version from Anime/MacrossFrontier, Forget Minmay Attack... Here's the Walkure Attack!

[[PhlebotinumBreakdown And then his rune almost ran out and made him faint]], sending the plane crashing down. He recovers, could survive by crashing on some woods nearby... But it's an orchard (that to him symbolize everything he's fighting for), so he ''willingly'' crashes his plane away from it, [[HeroicSacrfice getting deady injuries in the process]].

* Mikumo remembering her past and performing a solo song so powerful, it '''tears apart space and time''', destroying the Protoculture ruins, overpowering and [[StunnedSilence silencing Heinz who can only watch in helpless disbelief]], engulfing the entire Windermerian army in bright energy, and releasing the people of Voldor from Windermere's mind control, all at once.

** It also doubles as a CMOA for Kaname who before this, initially believed that she could not be in the center stage due to her past of being a failed idol and being overshadowed by Mikumo in Walkure. She ends up singing solo for this battle (performing her song, "Axia") and is the driving force for Messer to keep on going.

** Mikage makes an entire ''love confession'' into this. Right after Hayate made it clear he will choose Freyja, what does she do? Seeing Freyja's hesitation, Mikage confesses her love, all so she can ''call out Freyja'' for not responding to Hayate's feelings. And it '''works''', Freyja under her encouragement is able to admit to her feelings and ''break free'' so that she can pull others out and start the counterattack against Roid.
