Trivia[edit]
- The English title has two symbolic meanings. One is the English idiom meaning "to do or say something to relieve tension or get conversation going in a strained situation or when strangers meet," a reference of Kjerag breaking its isolationism. Whereas, the other symbolism focuses on the Ice part, reflecting Kjerag's cold climate.
- The titles of Holy Hunt operations refer to chess terms, while some of their flavor texts refer to various chess strategies.
