** Yuya has a pendulum pendant that looks like a clear blue crystal with silver wings wrapped around it. In moments when he obtains NewPowersAsThePlotDemands, the pendant glows and starts swinging while he's wearing it. In addition, while every character can Pendulum Summon if they have the cards, the visuals for Yuya's Pendulum Summon include a giant version of his pendant swinging in the sky.
** Yuzu's bracelet. It looks like a perfectly normal bracelet and she had it all her life. However, when Yuya and his {{Identical Stranger}}s are in close proximity to her and each other (as in, Yuzu in the same place with at least two of them), the bracelet glows and teleports all the others but Yuya to a random location. In addition, Yuzu's bracelet along with those belonging to her own Identical Strangers can detect when Yuya and his counterparts [[UnstoppableRage enter their Awakened state]]. It turns out that [[spoiler:the four bracelets are actually four Continuous Spell Cards called En Flowers (Yuzu), En Moon (Serena), En Wind (Rin), and En Birds (Ruri) that were specifically created to stop [[BigBad Zarc]], who was split into Yuya, Yuri, Yugo, and Yuto respectively.]]
