It's only a virtual world, I realize, but thoughts turn into reality, so the world I abandoned by resetting might have remained engulfed by evil.

Trivia
Edit
- Due to contradictions with the plotline of the games, G.U.+ is usually considered non-canon.
- Tatsuya Hamazaki, the story-writer to G.U.+, also made the storylines of the G.U. Games and G.U. Novels, and both the anime and manga versions of Legend of the Twilight.
- In G.U.+, Haseo is seen using all three of his (standard) weapons (Twin Blades, Broadsword, Scythe) while in the character design of his first form. Additionally, he appears to retain all his weapon proficiencies after being Data Drained by Azure Kite; the Data Drain should've reverted him to only a Twin Blade.
- One major contradiction is that the Avatars, instead of being used as a combat vessel for the Epitaph Users, appear as summoned creatures to fight with other Avatars and AIDA.
