Trivia[]
- Many character names are based on Japanese language puns that don't translate well into English.
- For example, Majolyn's name is based on the word for witch, which is Majo.
- Oomori's costume bears a resemblance to Batman's costume.
- The triangle on Tamasaburo head is most likely a reference to Yūrei (the Japanese equivalent of western ghosts) who are often depicted wearing Tenkans, a triangular white cloth worn on foreheads. Still, it is unknown what kind of a creature he is.
