==Trivia==
*Orochi-Onna's background is akin to Tsukinowa from the movie Orochi, the Eight-Headed Dragon where Tsukinowa was the transformation of a broken fang of Yamata-no-Orochi, the transformation of Tsukuyomi the Moon God who tried to destroy the world and lost its fang in an ancient battle against Susanō-no-Mikoto the latter god of underworld, and worked for long period as a human form to revive its master, and died to complete its mission.
*Similar to Hana Kazamatsuri's comparison to Yumeko Tendō, Orochci-Onna's background shares some commons with Caroline from the GeGeGe no Kitarō: Gekitotsu!! Ijigen Yōkai no Dai-Hanran as both being offspring of major antagonists, became Nezumi-Otoko’s affections, and had tragic fates and died. 
*Within a magazine scan, it states that Orochi-Onna was born from a scale that broke off, rather than a broken fang.
