Trivia
- This may be a reference to the movie The Karate Kid, in which the main character's master gives him a uniform and headband of his own design.
- Disturbingly, yellow may not be this headband's original color. It may have been stained yellow as a result of Jarate practice. Although modern belts are colored with dyes, traditionally martial artists began their training with a white belt, which eventually became stained black from years of sweat, dirt, and blood.
- The new official description explains that the bandana was white in the distant past.
- In Japanese, there is a phrase that describes the act of putting on a similar headband, and is used as an expression to describe getting down to work. A Western world equivalent to that expression would be 'rolling up one's sleeves'.
- Much similar to the headless hat item Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative, the Ghastly Gibus, or Max's Severed Head; if a Sniper taunts with the Kukri, Bushwacka or Tribalman's Shiv equipped whilst wearing the Master's Yellow Belt, he will hold onto thin air in place of his no longer equipped hat.
- Being able to be painted, it can itself contradict it's own name, changing it from a "Yellow" belt, to any of the paint colors provided.
