Trivia
- The Retro BluFocals' primaryability (Intensify Action) matches the favored ability of its brand (Emberz). This is likely a developer oversight; the series as a rule avoids these combinations to make achieving maximumAP more difficult.
- The only other pieces of gear to have this distinction are theShivery Squidkid III andTriple-Deck Specs fromSplatoon 3, as well assix items unintentionally sold on SplatNet 2 with matching abilities.
- In the official music video ofBig Betrayal, a photo ofBig Man assuming his "Ian BGM" identity, wearing aKing Flip Mesh and Retro BluFocals, is seen inFrye's hand.
