Trivia

• Midare Setsugekka is written as "乱れ雪月花" which translates to "Chaos of the Four Seasons". "Setsugekka" (雪月花) or sometimes "Setsugetsuka" (雪月花) is a compound word meaning "Beauty of the Four Seasons", and contains the kanji for "snow" (雪 Yuki), "moon" (月 Tsuki), and "flowers" (花 Hana).
• The word "Setsugetsuka" (雪月花) contains the names of the three Sen, with Setsu representing "snow" and being gained through Yukikaze, Getsu representing "moon" and being gained through Gekko, and Ka representing "flowers" and being gained through Kasha. All of them are represented in each action animation.
