*[[Lambdadelta]], while not referenced in ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'', was popularly speculated to be [[Miyo Takano]] due to their similar appearance. Furthermore, Lambdadelta refers to Miyo Takano as "her other self" in the ''[[Hotarubi no Tomoru Koro ni]]'' prologue, ''[[The First and the Last Gift]]''. However, [[Ryukishi07]] has directly refuted this theory and refers to it as a red herring.

**Fans have also speculated that Lambdadelta is related to [[Satoko Houjou]], the best friend of [[Bernkastel]]'s previous self, [[Rika Furude]]. Though this has not been confirmed, Satoko's abilities and actions shown in {{satokowashi}} have further cemented this speculation.

*The number "34" is a recurring motif in several of Ryukishi07's works:

**The Greek letters of [[Lambdadelta]]'s name mean 30 (λ) and 4 (Δ).

**[[Miyo Takano]] name can be written as 三四, meaning "34".

**[[Vier Dreissig]]'s name can be translated from German as "four thirty", which becomes "thirty four" when following Japanese naming conventions.

**In {{kai}}, Satoko is hospitalized in room 3-4.
