Trivia[]
- Jeanne is based on the real-life French national heroine, Joan of Arc ("Jeanne D'Arc" is merely Joan of Arc's native French name). While Jeanne is cocky, Joan was virtuous.
- As a reference to Joan, her hair will go bald after being defeated in her own Deathmatch stage.
- Jeanne is the first fighting game character to use a whip sword, followed by Ivy of Bandai Namco's Soulcalibur series.
- In the Japanese version of World Heroes Perfect, Jack's win quote reveals that she's a virgin, as he comments on her blood tasting like one. This is another reference to Joan of Arc.
- In ADK World, Jeanne comments on how Shura and Captain Kidd aren't exactly at the same level she is.
- Though rendered as "Janne" through the entire World Heroes series, her name is apparently supposed to be "Jeanne", as per her historical inspiration, hence the change in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy. However, The name "Janne" turned out to be the Scandinavian (used in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland) and Estonian counterpart of "Jeanne".
- Jeanne's appearance in SNK Heroines marks the first time that a World Heroes character is playable in a crossover game since Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, which featured Hanzo, Fuuma, Mudman and Neo Dio.
- Garou: Mark of the Wolves planner and The King of Fighters XIV/XV producer Yasuyuki Oda states that Jeanne is his favorite character in the World Heroes series.[1]
