 * Hey Its That Voice: Raksha now has a last name and it's Evilman.
 * Dangerama is Ragna the Bloodedge.
 * Laharl is the 45th President of the United States.
 * Hilariously, Kyoya is Lucius and Mana is Rizelea.
 * Kamina is the Unlosing Ranger himself (rather ironic, don't you think?). That is all you need to know!
 * Choco is Nanako, Medeia is Aigis, and Noa is Magoichi Saika.

Keep in mind that the reason Makai Wars for the PSP got canned was becuase SONY didn't want sprite-based games on the system.
