Trivia

 * According to early content found in Archives 03 about the background concepts of .hack and later on within The Liminality Easter Eggs, Macha is a program designed to collect data on human affection (but only that which arises from unrequited love).
 * Macha's original Japanese name was spelt Maha, but the spelling for the Japanese release was changed to Macha. However, in Celtic transcripts, the letters "ch" are pronounced as a strong "h". Thus, Macha is actually pronounced "MaHa". The Japanese phonetic transliteration, then, is indeed correct.
 * Macha, who is a Celtic war goddess, and the sister of the Celtic goddess known as Morrigu Morrigan, or Morganna. They were part of a trio of Celtic goddesses: Morrigu, Badb and Macha with jurisdiction over death, battle, and in some cases, life/rebirth.
 * Macha's nature is different from the other phases, even the theme of the battle is different to those used in the other phases.
