Trivia
- If Amaterasu headbutts Masu, he will attempt to attack her with a dashing slash, signified by his stance, his right hand on the katana's handle. The attack itself wouldn't do any damage nor costs her Godhood and can be easily evaded by any means, but should it connects, Amaterasu will be stunned for a brief moment.
- The way that Masu wields his katana may suggest that he uses the Template:Wp martial art in combat.
