Trivia

• A Catamin [A] looks like a bottle of Lipovitan D, a stronger version of the energy drink Lipovitan. Ironically, the number of Catamin types stops just short of reaching [D], perhaps due to concerns on copyright infringement.
  • The Japanese name for Catamins, Nekovitan, is a portmanteau of neko (meaning "cat") and Lipovitan.
  • Since it drops Catamins, The Precipice is likely a reference to a famous Lipovitan D commercial which depicts two mountaineers struggling to climb a precipice.
    • This commercial was likely also referenced in an event poster for Catamin Stages.
• H. Nah's addiction to counterfeit Catamin [C] resulted in his losing his mind and becoming Red EnerG.
