  • Megalara Garuda's jacket features an illustration of the male of the species stylized to be made of mechanical components.
  • According to SYUNN in jubeat Qubell's booklet comments, Megalara Garuda's title was chosen because he started composing music in the same year the wasp species was discovered.
