This section requires expansion [1] |
- Besides Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, the figures of the Tokiwadai Dorm Supervisor and Shokuhou Misaki are also featured in the fictional PR drama (a relatively unrealistic and largely made-up battle drama, likely meant for foreign viewers and possibly intended to draw attention away from the truth of the city's former dark side research), as the "ultra-violent Dorm Manager Sage" and the "mysterious Masked Blonde Brainwashing Queen".[2]
- Although the concept of a Personal Therion seems to have been made up for the New Year's PR drama's fictional story,[2] the idea of a material embodiment of an ability bears some similarities to the other Kamijou Touma (manifested a couple of weeks earlier in December).[3]

- The PR drama's story uses the idea of a material embodiment of an esper's ability and heart, a "beast" (「獣」 "Kemono"?) grown from within after being injected from without, called a Personal Therion (パーソナルセリオン Pāsonaruserion?).[2] The term Therion, derived from the Greek for "beast", is the name of a notable figure within the system of Thelema developed by Aleister Crowley, mentioned in the Book of the Law.
- The Thelemic figure Therion is considered to be partially derived from the Beast from the Book of Revelation, whom Crowley identified with (occasionally referring to himself as “Master Therion” as well as "Beast 666"), and a female counterpart to the Scarlet Woman Babalon (similarly partially derived from the Whore of Babylon).
Unanswered Questions[]
