Abnormality: A catch-all name for odd phenomena of a supernatural sort that is not identified as related to the Kaijin or Akuma. Not known to exist on a formal level, there are nonetheless reports of such things occuring on Internet forums and chatrooms, where odd things, such as a person becoming invisible to people they know, or two copies of the same person appearing at once, are often reported. Nobody knows the true source of Abnormalities; some believe them to be related to the phenomena behind Kaijin, Akuma and Domains, while others believe them to be linked to psychic abilities. They are often reported to be linked to the subconscious desires of the person who is the subject of the Abnormality, and are often resolved by resolving the desire in question. Some Abnormalities are invisible to most people; the only people who can perceive these are espers, Kaijin or those who are themselves the subject of an Abnormality, even if it is not the one they are unable to see.

ESP: A catch-all term for psychic powers. Unlike Abnormalities, which are not entirely proven to exist, or Akuma and Kaijin, ESP is known to exist, albeit at very small levels; espers possess the power to see what were originally titled "denpa" waves, or auras representing the emotions of others around them. A rare few possess telepathy, or minor telekinesis, enough to raise a coin or a pencil. Possessing a degree of esper powers, however, does grant some boons; an esper can exit a Domain created by an Akuma with difficulty, and espers can see some Abnormalities that are invisible to the human eye. However, given how limited these abilities are, and how rare their occurence in the population is, very little has actually changed.

God of Iwatodai: The patron god of Iwatodai, whose true name and visage has been lost to time. Despite this, shrines to them still exist in Iwatodai, and their legend endures in the Yumeiro Bridge and the Dream-Coloured Festival; fittingly, they were believed to be a god of dreams. In Iwatodai, the myhological baku are said to be servants of the god of Iwatodai, who eat bad dreams and nightmares on behalf of their master or even grant others good dreams to help them through life; to this day, the shrine and local village sell baku-themed charms and talismans. Their shrine remains as a local attraction and source of income.

	- Shrine families: A small group of families have been assigned the role of maintaining the shrine and running the Dream-Coloured Festival, often alternating these duties. While not all who work at the festivals or the shrine are part of these families, these families are traditionally responsible for running those, along with other traditional activities such as making braids, swordcraft or the traditional dances.
