Notes[]
- Hatena is one of the few Bugsters whose corresponding game is independent from Genm Corp.
- Hatena is also the only Bugster to spawn from a game of a modern format, specifically a mobile game app, as most Bugsters are modeled after characters from cartridge games.
- Ironically, despite being strong enough to effortlessly defeat Kamen Rider Ghost's strongest forms, including a form that combines the power of 15 souls, he ends up being defeated by a form that only combines the power of 3 souls. However, it could be assumed that he spent most of his energy on Ghost's strongest forms, and thus was running on fumes when he was up against Tenka Touitsu Damashii.
- Another reason may be that the Game Illness of Takeru affected his power drastically.
