*In {{requiem}}, [[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie's]] [[Wikipedia:And Then There Were None|Ten Little Indians]] is directly referenced.
*In {{requiem}}, [[Gaap]] refers to herself as "U.N. Owen, a 495-year-old witch", another reference to [[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie's]] [[Wikipedia:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]].
=== Demonology ===
*The 72 Pillars of Hell mentioned in ''Umineko no Naku Koro ni'' is likely a reference to the [[Wikipedia:List of demons in the Ars Goetia|72 demons]] in the [[Wikipedia:Lesser Key of Solomon|Lesser Key of Solomon]]. Several demons within ''Umineko no Naku Koro ni'' are based off of these 72 demons.▼
**[[Ronove]] is based off of [[Wikipedia:Ronove|Marquis Ronove]], the 27th demon.▼
**[[Furfur]] and [[Zepar]] are based off of [[Wikipedia:Furfur|Furfur]], the 34th demon, and [[Wikipedia:Zepar|Zepar]], the 16th demon, respectively.▼
**[[Gaap]] is based off of the 33rd demon of the Lesser Key of Solomon, [[Wikipedia:Gaap|Gaap]]. This is particularly notable as the demon Gaap is partly known for providing medical care for women. This could allude to false autopsies being made by [[Nanjo Terumasa]], the only doctor on [[Rokkenjima]].▼
*Much of the demonology [[Maria Ushiromiya]] mentions is taken from the [[Wikipedia:Key of Solomon|Key of Solomon]], a 14th/15th century grimoire and early example of Renaissance magic.▼
**Maria's amulets, meant to protect her from the evil entities on the island, have the fifth pentacle of Mars inscribed on them.▼
**The symbol found on the shed in {{legend}} is the seventh pentacle of the Sun.▼
**The symbol found on [[Eva Ushiromiya]] and [[Hideyoshi Ushiromiya]]'s room is the pentacle of the Moon.▼
*The name [[Bernkastel]] may be a reference to the birthplace of [[Wikipedia:Peter Binsfield|Peter Binsfield]], a German theologian who was the first to associate the seven prices of hell with the Seven Deadly Sins. Binsfield was born in the town of [[Wikipedia:Binsfield|Binsfield]] which is located in the [[Wikipedia:Bernkastel-Wittlich|Bernkastel-Wittlich]] district of Germany.▼
**Peter Binsfeld's classification of demons is used in the [[Seven Stakes of Purgatory]]. Each of the Stakes is named after a prince of hell and is the embodiment of the associated Deadly Sin.

*[[Sakutarou]] was originally to be named "Sakura" after the protagonist of ''[[Wikipedia:Card Captor Sakura|Card Captor Sakura]]'', however Maria changed it to sound more masculine.
**This is actually an anachronism as ''Card Captor Sakura'' debuted in 1996, ten years after ''Umineko no Naku Koro ni'' takes place.
