Trivia
- Broken Sword is the final boss song of the Chrono Seeker event of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL.
- Broken Sword marks the first time Takayuki Ishikawa composes a song under his 金獅子 alias since 嘆きの樹 in beatmaniaIIDX 13 DistorteD.
- It also marks the first time that Takayuki Ishikawa collaborates with another artist under his 金獅子 alias.
- Broken Sword marks the first time a CARDINAL GATE alias is used in a collaboration since VOX UP from beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS.
- The boss in Broken Sword's overlays is a demon named Laplacia.
- Laplacia refers to Laplace's Demon, the first published articulation of causal or scientific determinism by Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1814. According to determinism, if someone (the Demon) knows the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe, their past and future values for any given time are entailed; they can be calculated from the laws of classical mechanics.
- 麒麟 is heavily implied to be Akhuta.
- During the 4thKAC BEMANI SPECIAL LIVE in JAEPO2015, an unknown BEMANI artist with a giraffe mask played Broken Sword alongside dj TAKA (who had a lion mask). At the end of the live event when all the artists were on the stage, including the one with the giraffe mask, Akhuta was nowhere to be seen.
- A giraffe appears on the jacket of Peragro, which is composed by Akhuta.
