  • This team does not appear in The King of Fighters XI as a normal team, due to Kim joining with Team Fatal Fury in that installment. However, a Special Team in this game called the "Currently Reforming Team" has a similar structure. It revolves Kim (as the team leader) reforming two other antagonistic characters. These teammates could be Ash Crimson, Iori Yagami, Shion, Magaki, Silber, Jyazu, Geese Howard and/or Mr. Big.
    • This team also doesn't appear in the initial cast of The King of Fighters XV, due to the fact that Kim were training in the mountains with his master Gang-il. This is explained in the Secret Agents Team's Story and in Luong's interview with Clemence Bellamy, and is also seen in the ending of the team in the previous game. The fifteenth entry is the first game in 28 years where it doesn't feature Kim in the initial roster.
      • Kim appears in KOF XV as a DLC character in the Season 2 of the game.
    • The other probable main reason of the character's non-inclusion in KOF XV's initial roster is due to the recent death of the real Kim Kaphwan, founder of Viccom, a Korean company that for many years licensed SNK's games, and that inspired the ficcional character.
  • All the members of the mainline variants of this team practices Taekwondo (and its variants).
    • In the alternative formations, Lin practices Ninjustu, Shingo practices an alternative version of Kusanagi clan's fighting style and Xanadu has no fighting style.
