Trivia
- Oddly, the English name for this weapon omits specifying the weapon as aSplat Charger, referring to the weapon as the "Kensa Charger" as opposed to the "Kensa Splat Charger".
- This may be because the Kensa Charger is the only charger-type weapon (apart from its counterpart theKensa Splatterscope) in theKensa Collection, as opposed to the dualie class also having theKensa Glooga Dualies and the roller class also having theKensa Dynamo Roller. The specification of this weapon being a "Splat Charger" is not necessary, unlike the other Kensa/Splat weapons.
