Trivia
- Normally, the word "blast" is rendered in katakana as ブラスト ("bu-ra-su-to") — like in Blastarm or Broadblast. However, the katakana used in Blast Master's Japanese name is most decidedly ブレスト ("bu-re-su-to") — which is usually used to render the English words "breast" or "blessed". It appears that this is not an uncommon misspelling, so it is uncertain as to whether Takara were intentionally trying to give Blast Master the name "Breast Master"/"Blessed Master". However, it is somewhat notable that this same spelling was used to render the first part of Blast Off's name, an unrelated shuttle character released years prior. Perhaps the conventional katakana "spelling" changed at some point, a not unheard-of occurence.
