* Since the series' conclusion and his death, Chikai has been featured in more and more merchandise and official art. This includes a magazine cover of him and Toi joyfully riding off together, an autumn-themed illustration of him watching over the trio playing soccer together, and even a full birthday event that features new art and merch of him and Toi back when they were younger and happy together. Considering his own belief that anyone who dies will inevitably be forgotten, it's pretty sweet to see his fans prove him wrong!
