Shioncos responds by expressing her interest in Reina, which prompts Harada to note that she has become one of the most popular characters. He admits that he feels he made a mistake by announcing Azucena first, as fans showed more interest in Reina after her reveal later in 2023. Harada reveals that he was not the only one surprised by Reina’s popularity, as other members of the development team also expected her to be well-liked, but not to the extent that she is.
