The “響” kanji (read as “hibiki” in Japanese) on 808's collar can represent different things such as: echo, sound, resound, ring, vibrate.808 gets her name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine, this is also where her sound effects come from.As a side effect, their synchronization creates a repeating signal that can be hijacked for her hidden temporal displacement technology, essentially allowing Peppermint and any other of their allies to teleport next to Chai temporarily.Ĩ08 is not without her tricks by herself, and aside from being able to stun most enemies through cuteness alone with her Steal the Show Special Attack, she can use her sharp claws to destroy machinery - if she can get close enough, be it by herself or through the 808 Gigawatt Cat Attack. However, when Chai accidentally pet her the first time, he unlocked a mysterious Host Synchronization ability, allowing her to enhance his attacks with beams and stronger impacts, as well as acting as his metronome. Although on some occasions, 808 performs gestures such as mimicking karate poses.Ĩ08 is mostly a surveillance bot, acting as Peppermint's eyes and ears and with hacking ability to infiltrate various sections of Vandelay Technologies. Besides this, she normally acts as a regular cat.

Ever since synchronizing with Chai, she has taken a great liking towards him, often posing with him, emoting and sharing reactions to the events in front of them.
