* LateArrivalSpoiler: The beginning of Gunvolt's Story Mode flat out spoils the true ending of ''Azure Striker Gunvolt'', in which [[spoiler:Joule died and merged with Gunvolt, becoming a spirit housed within his body while at the same time becoming an extension of his own Septima]]. The fact that Joule [[spoiler:has Lumen's appearance but is still called Joule]] is also a dead giveaway.

Apparently, it wasn't always that huge (official art for ''Sayonara Umihara Kawase'' had it at [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DI80MHHVwAQwGek.jpg a more realistic size]]). It actually gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Kawase when she sees it. Whether this was the work of the motes to give her a fighting chance against the others or something else is anyone's guess.
