## Setting

The setting for the manga takes place in ancient Zenin where most of the prefectures have spouted with civilization growing over the years. Centered in ancient Hokkaido, the luxurious village of Ottawa Hills was split into 5 distinct districts: Capellen, Diekirch, Gravenmarcher, Echternacht, and Vianden. Each of them were under the protection of the Royal Dragon Order until Aziraku and Mizuno's arrival, splitting the districts and the decree apart. A small rundown area of the Hills named Toledo is where Jason originally was born in with his expertise skills in weapon forging and combat introduced him to the rest of the districts, accepting to join the Royal Dragon Organization.

## Trivia

* The manga is highly inspired by *Attack on Titan No Regrets*.
* A lot of Infernolab references can be found throughout the manga:
	+ Bardis' birthplace, Toledo is named after his original birthplace in Toledo, Ohio. His lifestyle of living in an unkempt and rundown trailer park is highly inspired by the real Jason Bardis' 10 question survey from *White Trash World*.
	+ Jason's younger days in Toledo include him smiling mischievously for a family photo with Jenna and naughtily climbing doorframes. This is a direct reference to Jason Bardis' passport photo when he was 7 and himself climbing doorframes when he was 12 years old.
