- The first location shown when golden arms rise across the globe is off the coast of Barcelona, Spain, just like in the novel.[1] Most specifically, the anime depicts Sant Sebastià beach, with the famous W Barcelona recognizable in the shot.
- The church Vasilisa enters, where Nikolai was hiding and the Russian Orthodox Patriarch was locked up, is the famous Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. In the novels, the location was never specified, only being referred to as a "palace" and later as a "temple". Also, her mention of the "cannibal old lady of one-legged house" is a reference to Baba Yaga.
