Trivia[]
- Terra is the only male character from the Mega Man series to have a feminine name in at least one language, despite being a guy through and through. His name is a feminine Latin term that means "ground". Because of this, his name is modified in gender-distinguishing languages as El + [term for ground]. One example is his Spanish name, El Tierra.
- Terra's Japanese name, Āsu, is a pun on the Earth's English name.
