Trivia

 * The A mode's animation is similar to SKULL-9.
 * This is the first melee weapon that can performs a 360-degree swing and to actually hit surrounding targets (primary attack) in Counter-Strike Online.
 * During the first release, there was a bug where the kill icon used Seal knife instead. This bug was fixed in later updates.
 * The same applied to the HUD icon; placeholders were used instead of its own.
 * It shares the same wall impact sound with the Nata Knife in base form whereas in Thanatos form it uses Counter-Strike: Condition Zero ' s Seal Knife's one instead.
 * It also uses Wakizashi's hit sound.
 * This is the first melee weapon that is able to deal extreme damage to bosses so far.
 * There's a "THANATOS-IX" printed on the weapon's handle.
 * The alternative swing animation actually matches with its third person's in contrast with SKULL-9, Green Dragon Blade and JANUS-9.
 * This is the first melee weapon to ever feature more than one wielding animation for both first and third person.
 * This is the second melee weapon which can glow in the dark during Thanatos form. The first one being Beam Sword.
 * When a round ends and you use the B-mode of THANATOS-9, you will hear its stabbing sound non-stop until the next round (same as M134 Minigun bug). This also applies for spectator mode.
