Trivia

 * Connections between both teams involve of them coming from well-known Japanese-originated RPG video game series in 1980's (Shin Megami Tensei & Dragon Quest; though Persona debuted in 1996), their latest games coming from late 2010's and their leaders appearing in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as downloadable characters.
 * In this fight, Goro Akechi and Kasumi Yoshizawa aren't added on The Phantom Thieves' side because Akechi betrayed the Phantom Thieves (being not a permanent member)in the game and his supposed death, while Kasumi rejects a team's ideology despite later joining them. Also, Tonygameman thought it would be a fair battle between 8 members on each team.
