| *Since RKD group's Hayabusa Armor is based on that of Ryu Hayabusa of the ''[[Wikipedia:Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden]]'' series of video games, it is possible that RKD is an abbreviation of "Ninja Ryukenden", the original name of that series. | | *RKD's [[Hayabusa Armor]] is based on that of Ryu Hayabusa of the Ninja Gaiden series of video games. It is therefore possible that RKD is an abbreviation of "Ninja '''R'''yu'''k'''en'''d'''en", the original name of that series. |
| *Post-war, the RKD group tends to name their armors after rank of the [[Wikipedia:Roman Legion|Roman Legion]] and classes of [[Wikipedia:Gladiators|gladiators]]. | | *The Halo 3 Hayabusa discription mention's a ''Earth-based think tank''. |
