Hibiki Takane/Trivia


 * Her father is mentioned again in Genjuro's ending for Neo Geo Battle Coliseum and during her appearance in Days of Memories.


 * Her weapon name and her own name both means "Echo;" whether the naming has a significance or is a coincidence is unexplained.


 * She is symbolized by a sword that can quickly move to a stop.


 * In the character popularity poll on Neo Geo Freak's website, she was voted as the eighteenth favorite character with a total of 739 votes.


 * Even if she sees Akari survive her fatal attack through the use of her substitutes, her normal persona will still react as horrified as when she kills other opponents.


 * When Hibiki is chosen in any mode of Samurai Shodown (2019), the method of round narration in the game changes to match The Last Blade series. She is the only character so far who can do so. However, it is possible to use the original stages instead by accessing the game's option menu.
 * Hibiki is the only character in The Last Blade 2 whose spoken quotes, win quotes and mannerisms changes depending on player actions in battle. This continues in Samurai Shodown (2019), but is averted in Capcom vs. SNK 2, where her normal persona is depicted all throughout the game.
 * In The Last Blade 2, to activate her evil side, the player must defeat her opponents with special attacks. In Samurai Shodown (2019), the player must press the A Button (Arcade), the Square button (PlayStation), the X button (Xbox) and the Y button (Nintendo Switch), before selecting her in any mode. This is similar to how Purple Nakoruru is chosen in previous games in the series (and in the latest game of the series).


 * Hibiki is among the few characters in Capcom vs. SNK 2 who has a unique winpose, if she defeats someone with her original SDM/Senzai Ōgi, with her hair untied as a result of her attack connecting. It's a visual cue that the landed attack will be fatal for the enemy.


 * Hibiki calls her own style Iai in Capcom vs. SNK 2, as heard in her winquote in that game: Kore ga, Iai desu... (This is [the style of] Iai)
