Trivia

• The Japanese name is "The Gear of Madness"; this is the same name as Voldo's theme in Soul Edge. This name would be referenced a couple of other times in later games:
  • Great Gear of Madness, Voldo's Critical Finish in Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.
  • Wheel of Madness, Voldo's Critical Edge in Soulcalibur V.
  • Downward Spiral, Voldo's Critical Edge in Soulcalibur VI, which was originally called "The Spinner of Madness" in Japanese.
