A Secret is a hidden Kudos bonus in Azure Striker Gunvolt and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 present throughout nearly every stage in each game. Each Secret has a different unlock requirement, and upon successfully meeting said requirement you will earn the "Secret" bonus with a variable amount of Kudos. A Secret bonus can only be obtained once per stage, even if the requirement is met multiple times. Some Secret requirements may be hinted by Challenge goals.
In Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX and Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2, Secrets were replaced by Bonus Emblems, which are collectables that serve a similar purpose. Secrets are not present in Azure Striker Gunvolt 3.
