• The “響” kanji on 808's collar can represent different things such as: echo, sound, resound, ring, vibrate
• When the team contacts Chai, she'll change her colors to blue (Peppermint), green (Macaron), yellow (CNMN) and red (Korsica).
  • If nobody is speaking over her, her colors are blue by default.
  • It seems that originally 808's eyes would turn black when no one speaks over her, this can be noticed in all the animated scenes.
    • However, 808's 3D model is never shown with black eyes.
