Trivia

The name "Rche" is a variation of "Lucifer", one of the seven princes of Hell, representing pride.
- Rche appears as a young, blonde angel. The gender is not known yet, but it is speculated to be male.
  - When you miss a note, Rche will unleash an energy blast after turning into a goat.
  - After Rche dies, there will be a scene showing a feather from his wings falling into a pool of blood.
  - If you fail to Normal Clear the song, Rche will be shown holding the Earth in his hands, turning it red.
When played as a boss stage in Lincle Kingdom, the arcade LED ticker displays <PRIDE>RCHE<SUPERBIA>.
The song is below 蛇神 in the songlist index, known for having songs sorted by composer, so it was speculated that Rche was a collaboration between DJ YOSHITAKA and TOMOSUKE. However, it was revealed in the beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK that Todestrieb was composed and arranged by just Tomosuke himself.
In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the death drive ("Todestrieb") is the drive towards death, self-destruction and the return to the inorganic.
The song comments in the IIDX Lincle website are written in German.
On the Rche's glyph, it is possible to read Lucifer.
