It is the last of the six matcher-era poison attaches and the one the defect_register deliberately quarantined pending an inspection of the Tekken 2 album. That album is on disk in full (32 tracks) and carries no 'Opening Theme'; its attract/opening cue is track 01 'Tekken 2 Attract Movie: Sound Track'. Demoted here so the false identity is repudiated rather than silently overwritten; re-attached immediately by operator --id onto track 01.",
