Once at least a single gauge is completely filled, hitting said heart will activate. During DoDoDo mode, temporary benefits will be granted to the character while the screen darkens and changes to a deep magenta color. The effects vary depending on the element of the character using it.

Elements
Each character has an element, which is displayed as an icon next to their name.
 * Courage is displayed with a Blue Star icon. Courage-type characters gain increased defense and movement speed, as well as suffer from less knockback during DoDoDo Mode. They have an advantage over Fighting Spirit-type characters.

Statues can be equipped with special items called, which consist of an image from various scenes of the anime. They vary in rarity from 1-4 stars, and can boost stats, grant other bonuses under special conditions, or unlock exclusive skills for characters.
