"Ignited"'s title is closely similar to the mobile suit (GOUF Ignited) that Nishikawa's "GSD" character piloted.

That is also the number of original studio albums Nishikawa has released to date
Vanish at infinity Vanish at infinity In mathematics, a function on a normed vector space is said to vanish at infinity if For example, the function defined on the real line vanishes at infinity. More generally, a function formula_4 on a locally compact space (which may not have a norm) vanishes at infinity if, given any positive number formula_5, there is a compact subset formula_6 such that whenever the point formula_8 lies outside of formula_6. In other words, for each positive number formula_5 the set formula_11 is compact. For a given locally compact space formula_12, the set of such functions (where formula_14 is
