Trivia

• While their curving ability is outclassed by other ARMS, the Bubb is still a solid middle-ground between a speedy straight and a mean hook.
• For awhile, the official ARMS types page erroneously listed Bubb as having the Blind attribute.
• The Bubb is internally labelled as 'Wpn_BeginnerPunch', with its Japanese dev-internal name listed as '初心者パンチ' (translation: 'Beginner Punch').
• The Bubb is the ARM used by The Cell in the Warm-Up room during a party match. It is a separate model from the regular Bubb, named internally as 'Wpn_RnaPunch', with the main difference being the texture, which removes the yellow curved line on the underside of the glove.
