** False had a second crossover, of a sort, with ''Speak of the Devil'' on ''Things [=VTubers=] Say'' episode 142 (10 September 2021). He edited himself into the "host" position in a clip taken from the fourth episode[[note]]Mousey and her guest, [[Characters/HololiveIndonesia hololive ID]]'s Kureiji Ollie, both sat on the "guest couch" for the show[[/note]], opening and closing his episode from that scene.
* DistaffCounterpart: When the "android" avatar was introduced, there was also a brief cameo by a ''female'' version at the very end of the video; she has since made several other brief appearances at the end of episodes. When Ironmouse asked him about her, he noted that the female android, named "Lae-Dee", is a separate character, and that she would be voiced by a different performer when she eventually did make her full debut.
