*When climbing out of the tank after collecting the cultivating mud containing the water purification microbes, Touma feels as though he'd grabbed the spider thread dangling down into hell - a reference to the 1918 short story . Chapter 1 Part 4 In this story, stopping at a lotus-filled pond while meandering through paradise, the Buddha observes a sinner in hell named Kandata with a single good deed to his name - deciding not to kill a spider he was about to crush underfoot, and offers him a single chance for this act of compassion by lowering a spider's thread into hell. Seeing the thread in the darkness while struggling in the Pool of Blood, Kandata grabs and begins to climb it, and though the climb is a long and tiring one, feels joy that he might escape from hell. However, seeing other sinners climbing the thread and fearing their weight might break it, he shouts that the thread is his alone - at which point it snaps, sending him and the sinners back down into the Pool of Blood, condemning himself by only being concerned about his own salvation rather than that of others, something the Buddha observes before continuing with his meanderings.
