We also get hints for the next season for the first time, and it seems like we may be getting more Miku action?

The "ichai" part of it is a localisation. In the original Japanese, it was "ichii", which means yew trees. The "val" part is a shortening of the English word valley. So Ichaival translates to "yew valley", which is also what Ydalir translates to as well.

However, Ydalir was a location, and there were no bows named Ichaival or anything of the sort. Ullr is a god of archery, but his bows seem to be anonymous.

And moving on, Shul Shagana and Igalima are also the names of gods in Mesopotamian mythology. For some reason, the names were reused for Zababa's weapons, so it's likely Symphogear is referencing those weapons rather than the actual deities themselves.

I forgot to mention that the OP for Symphogear G actually shows the deities associated with each symphogear's relic, which was something I only really took notice of after I did a bit of research into the relics.

• Gungnir - Odin's spear
• Ame-no-Habakiri - the katana Susanoo used to kill Orochi
• Ichaival - it's complicated, but it's associated with Ullr
• Shul Shagana and Igalima - weapons used by Zababa

For Ichaival, this is actually a bow from Fire Emblem. However, Ichaival itself is a sort of translated name of Ullr's domain, Ydalir.

I'm also not really sure why 298 yen keeps getting mentioned (in G and the extras). It's so oddly specific  

It reminds me of buying love for 298 yen at the FamiMart in Monogatari, but I figured they were making a pun off of Mayoi's family name (Hachikuji can be broken down into the numbers 8, 9 and 2).
