Trivia[]
- He always begins his sentences with the phrase "Bucchake" (ぶっちゃけ), which means "Frankly speaking..." It is also the origin of his name.
- In the VS Saga, his loss rate is the highest of any character, being a staggering 100%, the same as Duemouse and Hakase, save for one-time characters such as Shobu Kirifuda and Ari Kamone. However, Duemouse did win 100000 points in the star cup and Hakase is of considerable status, indicating that Bucchake might be the worst of the bunch.
