Trivia

STN's Lincle Kingdom title card.

• The Limbo is one of the boss songs of the second phase of the Lincle Kingdom event of beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle. It is available from November 16th, 2011.
• The name STN is a variation of Satan, one of the seven princes of Hell, representing Wrath.
  • In Abrahamic religion, Satan is an entity that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. Satan is also referred to as the devil, or Lucifer in Christianity.
  • STN appears as a demon with a red and black armor who wields a bishop staff. He always summons a magic ring which appears behind him.
    • When you miss a note, STN will use his staff to cast a fireball.
    • If you fail to Normal Clear The Limbo, STN will teleport away.
    • After STN explodes, the face of Neulakyussra temporarily appears.
