Trivia

Death Step and its inferior versionDark Stepare the only current fighting styles in the whole game that have a transformation-type move that enhances damage, as well as the only ones that have four moves.
There is a bug where if[V] Maximum Overheatis active while switching fighting styles, the visual effect on the user's feet will stay until the user dies or leaves the game also works withDark Step. Keep in mind that this is purely visual effect, and does not provide any buffs.
When using[Z] Rocket Kickon the edges of the volcano at theMagma Village, the crater created will be purple, similar toT-Rex's [F] move.
The [V] ability Maximum Overheat has the highest mastery required for a move in the whole game, being 400 mastery, with other [V] moves usually having mastery requirements of 150, 225, 250, 300, 350 mastery. However, Maximum Overheat beforeUpdate 14used to have a mastery requirement of 450.
BeforeUpdate 14, Death Step's [V] was one of the most tedious things to get in the game, with things likeGodhuman,Sanguine Art,Race Awakeningsand others, did not exist at the time, so getting this move was one of the most tedious things to do at the time, similar to getting max level, 30mBounty/Honor, getting 600 mastery on something, owning the most expensive fruits, and others. But whenUpdate 14rolled around, the mastery requirement went from 450 to 400.
Death Step, along withDark Step, are the only fighting styles that have [V] abilities.
Death Step's [V] move used to be called Devil Flames.
