Watsuki has drawn many references from films. He choose the Kazuki's weapon as a lance because he watched "A Knight's Tale", and thought it was "cool".

Moonface's replication ability is based in "Matrix"s Agent Smith. The name "League of Extraordinary Elects" was based on "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

The term for the human followers of the homunculi, "familiars", comes from the human disciples of the vampires in "Blade". Gekisen, the buso renkin of Genji Ikusabe was based on "Hollow Man".
