== Trivia ==
* What Gankutsuou gains from Edmond's revenge is unclear, though in the manga it suggests dissatisfaction with Edmond's desire to live in the past, instead wishing he'd use the wealth it'd given him to live in the moment. Edmond's thirst for revenge and his remaining humanity is hinted to be what keeps him from joining fully with the demon, leading to his apparent 'illness'.
* Edmond's appearance bears some resemblance to Kambei from Samurai 7 with the only difference being that the Count of Monte Cristo is an antagonist while Kambei is a protagonist.
** Edmond also resembles Dracula.
** Edmond's past shares certain similarities with Doryu's from Rave Master.
