Trivia

 * Orb Dark's light-up parts appear orange under certain lightings, but they are really a dark red in color.
 * In the initial magazine scan reveals, his eyes were a much more pale red instead.
 * Orb Dark's full name uses the word for 'black' in three different languages; English, German and French. This is likely to be a darker parody to Rosso and Blu's name being Italian words for red and blue.
 * His body color is an antithesis to the Minato brothers' transformation catchphrase, "Color me with your power! Ruebe!", as black is usually interpreted as colorless. This is also an irony, as the color black is obtained by mixing various colors.
 * The official news stated that Orb Dark is in possession of R／B Crystals and can summon Kaiju, while linking it as a similarity to Saki Mitsurugi. This stated is probably a subtle way of foreshadowing his host as Makoto Aizen.
