* In the episode 31 of the second season, Togusa asks what is going on because of the mess happening on the Dollars message board. Walker responds that they will finally see the advent of the demon city Ikebukuro, that a demon-summoning app will be installed on his phone and their survival life will then begin.

* In the manga, Erika and Walker use a ''Manga/BlackButler'' manga as inspiration for their torture. This is most likely because both mangas are being published by a magazine under SquareEnix.
