    • His adult form reflects his true age, having black sclera in both eyes and shark-like teeth, similar to Diabolic Esper. The scar across his left eye also seems to have grown.
  • The white shard floating right next to Mad Paradox in his portrait seems to display his mother from one of the alternate timelines.
  • Upon advancing to Mad Paradox, Add's personality takes a drastic turn from being loud and manic to become more subdued and nihilistic, as shown in his new voice lines and backstory.
    • His facial expression is also changed to a blank stare, with droopy eyes.
  • Mad Paradox's Job Change Item, Mad Paradox's Shattered Flask, might refer to the flask of poison from the Schrödinger's cat experiment.
  • Prior to the Korean update on November 1, 2018, going into Configuration Mode (Awakening) even in his child-like form would cause both of Mad Paradox's sclera to turn black, just like Diabolic Esper.
