Trivia
- The game never reveals Hanzo Academy's location, but the surroundings shown in the anime series are reminiscent of the Asakusa neighborhood of Tokyo. Asuka also says this is her hometown in the anime.
- To further add to this a number of stages in the game are specifically titled to be in Asakusa shopping district in the Japanese games. This may be proof that the academy is located in the Asakusa district of Tokyo.
