Trivia

Female Future Warrior wearing the Crystal Battle Suit in Xenoverse that resembles Cacao's Battle Armor
- Cacao's name is based on cocoa, a type of bean used to make a variety of products, mostly chocolate.
- The mannerism and effect used for Cacao's voice varies with each dub. In the original Japanese version of The Tree of Might, he says da, the Russian word for 'yes'. In the AB Groupe dub, Speedy dub and uncut Ocean Group dub, he only grunts, while in the studio's edited dub, as well as FUNimation's dub, he speaks in full-fledged sentences and has an electronic-garbled voice (though his mouth remains closed).
- The Crystal Battle Suit from the Xenoverse series resembles Cacao's Battle Armor though it should be noted it is actually just a recolor of Vegeta's Battle Suit from the Vegeta Saga as it has a tail that is the same metallic color rest of the suit. This also applies to the Gold Battle Suit which is a metallic gold recolor of the same suit.
