Trivia

Referbacks

• Coronzon refers to her previous plan and missed opportunity to toy with Academy City using its Board Chairman's corpse.
• Orsola Aquinas and Kanzaki Kaori both regret and refer to the events of the previous volume, with the former having made the mistake of using the Divine Mixture Isis-Demeter and the latter having killed Crowley's Hazards despite them being people (while under the influence of the Qliphah Puzzle 545).
• Aneri's nature as a downsized version of the Reading Thoth 78 (and Mina Mathers) is referenced, along with her role in the Dragon Rider and the Processor Suit incidents.
• Coronzon's claim of possessing Aleister's daughter Lola are referred to, though with their veracity in doubt.
• Shokuhou Misaki is reminded of her encounter with a miniature robotic version of herself when seeing Othinus.

Cultural References

• The magical attack on Dion Fortune by Mina Mathers in the form of cats, is derived from allegations made by the real-life Dion Fortune against Moina Mathers when the two came into conflict and the latter expelled the former from the Alpha et Omega.
• Touma calls Mathers a Coelacanth, a fish long considered to be a "living fossil".
• The incident where a fraudster posed as Anna Sprengel is an event which occurred both in the Toaru series and in real life. In real life, Swami Laura Horos managed to briefly convince Mathers that she was Anna Sprengel and stole Golden Dawn material which she used in a scam, for which she was arrested. This event was another factor in the Golden Dawn's collapse.
• The other name mentioned alongside Belzébuth with regards to the Madame Horos incident, is derived from syncretism of Greek monster Typhon and Egyptian god Set.

Unanswered Questions

• Are Coronzon's claims of possessing Aleister's second daughter Lola genuine?
• What role does the Madame Horos incident play in these events?

Quotes

• Mathers: "Let the foxhunt begin."
