- The kanji for Chikuzen's project name Trick or Treatment can be translated to Götterdämmerung or Ragnarok, the war of the Norse Gods said to bring about the end of the world. The first kanji in the project name is 髪, which means "hair" and can be pronounced kami, which can be the word for God, making the name Twilight of Hair rather than Twilight of the Gods.
