Trivia

• Hyde's hair is possibly bleached; he has small black streaks on some corners of his hair, and it is often common for high school boys his age to bleach their hair as such.
• Hyde is the only character who's normals inflict chip damage, despite them not being classified as special moves, although Wagner can inflict chip damage after she empower her sword and shield.
  • Hyde's case is due to the powers of darkness emanating from his weapon. Past cases used to be due to weapon fighters having chip damage universal for normals, or certain normals or command normals acting like special moves.
    • Because of Hyde's case, his 2A, 2C and Dash B, which are kick-based moves, are the only normals of his that do not inflict chip damage.
