Line 52:
*[[Battler Ushiromiya]] is partially based off of [[Wikipedia:Phoenix Wright (character)|Phoenix Wright]] from the [[Wikipedia:Ace Attorney|Ace Attorney]] franchise, most clearly seen in Battler's Objection sprite.<ref>{{cite web|title = Ryukishi07 at the French con Epitanime: 27th of May|url = http://archive.is/gDjnB#selection-191.315-191.450}}</ref>
*[[Ange Ushiromiya]]'s false name "Gretel" is likely a reference to the fairy tale [[Wikipedia:Hansel and Gretel|Hansel and Gretel]], which Battler jokingly mentions.
*When [[Beatrice]] and [[Virgilia]] battle in {{banquet}}, they summon a litany of mythical weapons including [[w:Gungnir|Gungnir]], [[w:Mjolnir|Mjolnir]], and the horse rider [[w:Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse#Pale Hose|Death]].
**Beatrice's War Towers are said to be "100 merute" tall. This unit of measurement is a reference to the "merute" of [[w:Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (film)|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind]], which is said to be equal to roughly one meter.
*[[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.
