Miscellaneous

 * A running gag between Luca and his fans is his "booba", referring to his pectorals. This was first pointed by Reimu Endou, where she commented "BOOBA" on one of his tweets, in which Luca replied, "THEY ARE NOT THAT BIG". Protesting that he doesn't have big "booba", he claimed he'll prove it on debut. By the time Luca's held his debut stream, he "proved it" by removing his coat and jacket, though it only enforced the joke further, as his bust is arguably large in size.

 * He runs about 4 km every 2 days.
 * He trolls the chat by saying a "deez nuts" joke before ending every stream.
