*The female apostle and the series introductory scene bares some similarities to a scene from the 1982 movie ''Conan the Barbarian'' when the titular hero makes out with a demon witch before she assumes her true form to attack him. A homage of the scene is used in the first episode of the 2014 anime series '' Garo -Honō no Kokuin-'' with a secondary protagonist killing a monster that assumed the form of a naked harlot who believed she deceived a potential meal into her bed chamber.
