Trivia

• Their name was shown in Issue 357 of Game Informer.
• The names of the BAWS parts are themed after Japanese poets; notably, the BASHO AC parts are all named after famed poet Matsuo Basho. Meanwhile, many of the other BAWS parts are all named after Basho's disciples, including: Hattori Ransetsu, Ochi Etsujin, Mukai Kyorai, Morikawa Kyoriku, Takarai Kikaku, Shida Yaba, Tachibana Hokushi, and Naito Joso. The only exception is the SAMPU, which is named after Basho's benefactor Sugiyama Sampu.
