Trivia

 * After Tsubaki was defeated by Jin, her outfit turns black, while her eyes remain blue instead of turning red. In Blu-Ray version of the anime, her eyes are fixed to red.
 * In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Jin had fought against Ragna before fighting Tsubaki, but in this episode, he had fought against Tsubaki first before facing Ragna.
 * Although Jin couldn’t activate Yukianesa, he was actually able to create ice, this doesn’t happen in the game, instead, Jin does a single blow when using a Drive during this fight, retaining the same animations.
 * In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Tsubaki encountered the Emperor and initially lost her sight just before meeting with Jin in the building.
