* It is also possible to split characters by shuffle team (from the drama track ''Mixed Up''), ARB events they're featured in (e.g. one soul swap event features Jiro, Hifumi and Rosho) and also into "Homies" and "Hoods" (from ''The Block Party'').



* StuffBlowingUp: Apparently Hypnosis Mics cause this to happen a lot. One notable instance of this trope is the Ignition card series from the game, which in turn was most likely inspired by the anime opening but also extends to Dotsuitare Honpo and Bad Ass Temple.
