Trivia

 * In the first two games, most of the characters have unique outfits which reflect the ren'ai genre of the game, like, for example, Kula wearing a junior high school seifuku uniform and a Gothic Lolita style outfit, as well as their normal clothes.
 * One of the locations you can visit in DOM1 is Neo*Geo Land in Esaka, a common location of fights in the King Of Fighters games. This is replaced in DOM2 by Neo*Geo World.
 * The game tests players by asking for information like the birthdate, blood type and birthplace of whichever girl you are planning to complete the game on, not allowing you to progress without getting most of the information correct.
 * Various male characters cameo in the games, usually appearing in the context of their normal game appearances. This is changed, in the fourth game, to having the female characters cameo.
 * Most of the female cast of The King Of Fighters series appear as either major characters or as cameo characters in all the games except the third game, which features solely Samurai Shodown characters.
 * Some pre-ending final sequences break the fourth wall, with Kula's pre-ending actually displaying joystick commands, in order that the player physically selects the right move for the character, with the bad ending occurring if you don't know the moves.
 * The last three games offer a unique look at some of the characters from Last Blade and Samurai Shodown as if they were born within the last decade, rather than in their game's original era.
 * A bonus character in the last of the games is based on the idea of Athena, from Athena, ending up somehow in the modern day, complete with some references to her source.
