6) In one of her character artwork, Sheena Fujibayashi is seen wearing the "Successor Costume." It is the exact replica of ninja clothes that Suzu Fujibayashi used to wear in Tales of Phantasia.
7) Did you know that the name Fujibayashi is probably a reference to Sabuji Fujibayashi, a 17th century master ninja of Japan? He is also regarded as one of the authors of Bansenshukai, a collection of ninja knowledge about philosophy, astrology, strategy, weaponry and beliefs in feudal Japan.
