Fighting Style[]
Ankoku Karate, while not clearly defined, appears to be a perversely evil and forbidden form of Karate, granted by the demonic forces of darkness upon selling one's soul to evil. Ankoku Karate and Grant's attributes are suggestive of classic villainous traits within martial arts fiction and stories, with a focus purely on "hard" styles that utilize head on countering and direct confrontation, sheer brute strength, explosive speed, and to focus on pure physical attributes and "satsujinken", or "fists that kill", being the approach of instilling fear and tension to open weakness into one's foes to destroy them in a single hit. With such terrifying strength and might, due to its occult origins, such a martial art also has a mysteriously subtle but eldritch power or a netherworldly ki to its practitioners, almost making them more demon than man and whose power must even be carefully tread by other masters and experts of martial arts that face its style.
Grant is a power character with strong physical attack attributes. His normal attacks have long range and his special moves will take off a sizable chunk of the enemy's lifebar. In terms of his karate-style, he utilizes a focused-stance with a variety of ki-based attacks and with sudden bursts of speed.

Trivia[]
- According to the fan Q&A for the game, Grant has green eyes and white hair.
- Kain and Grant, while not brothers, were inspired by the Biblical Cain and Abel.
- Though the existence of demons and devils are definitely possible within the SNK Universe, it is possible Ankoku Karate could be granted by Orochi or specifically Those from the Past, who were also feared as devils and seek the destruction of humanity.
- Grant being known as an infamous figure of urban legend is not unlike real world urban legend figures such as Bloody Mary, Momo, and Slenderman, where they are believed to be ghosts and demons of infamous disposition when they were alive. Before the wide spread frequent use of the internet, urban legends often were sometimes associated from town to town, and places where such figures were believed to dwell were often frequented by the young to test their courage and see for themselves if such legends were true.
- Him taking a bullet to the heart is suggestive of the idea of the "price" or terms of conditions if one makes a deal with the devil, where in the devil's usury and twisted irony, the seller will always suffer unusual and cruel circumstances for their gain.
- Grant's reputation as a devil within urban legend due to the unusually high violence and terror that occurs due to his presence is further evocative of real world legend about demonic and satanic activity; it is believed unusually malevolent phenomena occurs if the presence of demonic or spiritual evil is around.
- Grant's mask further reinforces his devil theme by their horns matching the placement of an inverted pentagram, being the sign associated with the devil Baphomet, and represents the triumph of the world of matter and flesh over that of the spirit. Devils, or at least the enforcers of hell, are correlated with monstrous beings like ogres and giants, whose savage strength and indestructibility strikes terror by their imagery of their wrath easily mauling and ripping apart mortal men.
- His stage featuring a subterranean motif with large Meso American styled head statues throughout its walls are evocative of the once rumored 2012 Mayan prophecy of the end of the world. Concerning Grant's overall themes and the release of Mark of the Wolves, the Y2K bug was also a popular topic regarding the end of the world, where it was believed that the coming of the year 2000 would cause all electronic devices to error and go haywire due to their time settings not anticipating the next millennium. Both of such prophecies were largely considered hoaxes due to the lack of any major natural disaster or catastrophe that were believed to come of these beliefs.
- Grant's "evil superhero"-esque theming and name may take inspiration from the comic book author Grant Morrison, who during the 1990s authored the Batman series Batman: Legend of the Dark Knight, which featured darker interpretations of Batman's early years of fighting crime. His occult mysticism themes further evoke the storyline KnightsEnd, when the overzealous anti-villain Azrael takes up Batman's moniker from Bruce Wayne, and when Bruce is forced to train with the villain Lord Shiva.
