* CultOfPersonality: [[spoiler:The Helenists. Obsessive fan girls that revolved their fashion and lifestyle around Helena. They rebelled against their schools dress code by wearing hospital gowns. Why? Because Helena only wears a hospital gown. They eventually transformed into an actual cult when they attempted to sacrifice Kaz in a ceremony to summon demons. Why? because they want to be possessed by demons just like Helena was in episode 1. They were, ironically, stopped by Helena with a tomblerone to the head. In a flash of demonic light, the Helenists disappeared without a trace.]]

* ReiAyanamiExpy: Helena, a monotone and aloof woman with purplish-blue hair. After[[spoiler:being possessed by a demon and falling down a flight of stairs]], Helena dons a hospital gown and head bandage for most of the series. Giving up her former life as a fashionista, Helena becomes reclusive and rarely shows any emotion besides her annoyance towards Kaz. And to top it all off, she even [[spoiler:steals and pilots Charles the mech-butler to escape Neo Yokio at the end of episode 6.]] If Helena isn't a homage to our favorite little freudian nightmare against humanity, I don't know what is.

'''''Neo Yokio''''' is a Japanese-American animated series that premiered on Creator/{{Netflix}} on September 22, 2017, created by [[Music/VampireWeekend Ezra Koenig]]. The series follows Kaz Kaan (Jaden Smith), a "magistocrat" who lives with his Aunt Agatha (Creator/SusanSarandon) and robotic butler Charles (Creator/JudeLaw) in the titular city of Neo Yokio. While he is the city's top-ranked bachelor and exorcist, he is more interested in his obsessions with fashion and field hockey than he is with his main job of demon slaying.
