In the ''Persona'' series, guarding both reduces damage and prevents attacks that exploit the user's elemental weakness from downing them.

The stance Joker takes while using Rebel's Guard is nearly identical to his animation in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona 5}}'' when selecting a Persona skill, complete with a similar blue, flame-like aura around his feet. In ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona 5 Royal}}'', Ryuji performs a similar action when defending the protagonist and Akechi from an attack by a berserk Cendrillon.

[https://megatenwiki.com/wiki/Tetrakarn Tetrakarn] and [https://megatenwiki.com/wiki/Makarakarn Makarakarn] are recurring support skills in the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Megami Tensei}}'' franchise, first appearing in 1992's ''{{iw|wikipedia|Shin Megami Tensei|video game}}''. Originally, Tetrakarn would simply block any single physical attack that hits the user's party, while Makarakarn would block any single magical attack that connects. Later games, including ''Persona 5'', would change this to have Tetrakarn and Makarakarn reflect the attack back at the caster. In ''Persona 5'', Arsène cannot learn either move normally, but can inherit them from other Personas via Skill Cards or Fusion. The sound effects they use in ''Super Smash Bros.'' are taken directly from their usage in ''Persona 5''.

*While Futaba humorously questions the legality of having both a counter and reflector at the same time in Joker’s reveal trailer, both [[Gut Check]] and [[Counter (Palutena)|Counter]]/[[Reflect Barrier]] have similar functionality.

*If the [[Shadow]] [[Assist Trophy]] freezes Joker while performing Rebel's Guard or Tetrakarn / Makarakarn if [[Arsène]] is active, the counter / reflect hitbox will remain active and trigger if hit. In the case of Rebel's Guard and Tetrakarn, The frozen Joker will not attack until being unfrozen, but will remain [[intangible]] in the mean time. With Rebel's Guard specifically, the [[Rebellion Gauge]] will fill as normal, but the burst hitbox will not trigger until being unfrozen.
