- In Japanese, Iris/Georgia's ship name may be 鹿目まどかVS宮藤芳佳, meaning Madoka Kaname vs Yoshika Miyafuji, in reference to both their rivalry and their Japanese voice actors. Aoi Yūki, who voices Iris, also voiced Madoka Kaname in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Misato Fukuen, who voices Georgia, also voiced Yoshika Miyafuji in Strike Witches. For more information, see 鹿目まどかVS宮藤 on PixivEncyclopedia.
- A similar tag is 鹿目まどかVS星空みゆき, meaning Madoka Kaname vs. Miyuki Hoshizora. Miyuki Hoshizora from Smile PreCure is also voiced by Misato Fukuen. For more information, see 鹿目まどかVS星空みゆき on PixivEncyclopedia.
- Both tags were created as PokéAni fandom in-jokes, but has since been used for crossover fanworks between the three series.
