Notes[]
- Since she does not seem to know about Duel Warriors and never duels on screen, it is unknown if she has a deck at all, or if she even knows how to duel. This changes in the 10 Kings Arc, as she learns the fundementals in order to duel with Joe, Boltz, Kira and Cap.
- Her adoptive mother bears a similar hairdo and appearance with Utsubomi Kazura, although the direct relations of the two were unknown.
- Momo's major role in the Twinpact Arc parallels Prin Prin in Katta Kirifuda's story:
- Both are princesses in their creature homelands.
- Their powers were being the major target for the antagonists.
- Both fought alongside the protagonists, though Prin Prin directly participates in battles/duels alongside Katta as a card/creature within his deck.
- Her voice actor also voiced Caroline and Justine from Persona 5.
