Trivia
- When the Kanji of Quinn's surname Manju is read literally, it means "Ten Thousand Beasts (万獣, Banjū)". Combined with Quinn's Katakana given name "Quinn (クイン, Kuin)", her full name can be read literally as "Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts".
- Prior to the All-Star Battle, Quinn has lost only 9 matches in the span of her career, with the silhouettes of her previous 9 opponents shown in chapter 11 of the manga and in episode 38 and 39 of the anime. Other than Khrome, the remaining 8 are all previous Beyblade protagonists. They are:
- Tyson Granger
- Gingka Hagane
- Valt Aoi
- Aiger Akabane
- Dante Koryu
- Hikaru Hizashi
- Hyuga Hizashi
- Bel Daizora
- Zyro Kurogane is the only Beyblade protagonist missing from the above lineup.
- Quinn is the first character to own a Hasbro exclusive Beyblade in the Beyblade X series.
- As of the third volume of the Beyblade X manga series, Quinn's Launch Power is 9999, which is also the same number of wins she has in her career.
- Similar to her family, Quinn's name likely comes from one of the four French face cards, that being the Queen.
