Trivia
- The name "Pine" derives from "pineapple", referring to Pine's yellow colour.
- The "Pretty Bombers" idol group refers to the character Pretty Bomber.
- Pine is the first Bombergirl to be initially revealed in a comic. She was first seen in a comic tweeted on October 11, 2019, five days before her teaser sillhouette was shown.[5] After the teaser images began to be posted, she was seen in another comic, on October 18, in which her name and rank were both stated - three days before she was officially announced.[6]
- Pine's profile quotation, regarding "waste, burden, and recklessness", alludes to the Toyota Production System (muda, mura, muri, with "mura" [inconsistency] replaced by "mudou" [recklessness]), a management philosophy.
- Pines's bag is shaped like the classic Bomberman enemy character Parse.
- Pine's symbol is a clover, while her leader Momoko's is a heart, and Prune's is a diamond, alluding to playing card suits.[7] Among the Pretty Bombers, Pine is the Ace of Clovers (エース・オブ・クローバー, esu obu kurōbā).[8]
- Pine's magic wand, the "Ultimate Magical Potato Masher" (アルティメットマジカルポテトマシャー arutimetto majikaru poteto mashā), was originally conceived for Momoko.[7][9]
- Pine refers to herself as "Pinyan", a portmanteau of "Pine" and "nyan", the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow.
