Trivia

• Nobori and Kudari have names that mean exactly the opposite: Nobori comes from 上る noboru, which means to climb or to go up and Kudari comes from 下る kudaru, which means to go down.

• Similarly, in the official artwork, Nobori is smiling (his mouth is "going up"), while Kudari is frowning (his mouth is "going down").
