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 is changed to that of the Tomahawk's.
- 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 or the wielder engages the Thanatos Blade System (same as M134 Minigun bug). This also applies for spectator mode.
- Unlike the SKULL-9, Green Dragon Blade and Wakizashi, the THANATOS-9 is unable to perform the bug-hit.
- There is a bug that sometimes the user's hands in first-person view is invisible while wielding the THANATOS-9, this also happens in spectator mode as well with the Magnum Drill.
- There's also a bug when a player dies while using the Thanatos Blade System, the hits will be executed anyway.
