Trivia

 * When the Hero Party is first exploring the Great Orcus Labyrinth, Shizuku jokingly tells Kaori that it is wrong to pick up guys in a dungeon when the latter is looking at Hajime. This is a reference to the series Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?.
 * When Hajime tells Yue he wants to bathe alone in the hot spring at Oscar Orcus' lair, to which she responds by saying "...But I refuse.", Hajime makes a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure due to her response being the same sentence that had been used Rohan Kishibe from the series.
 * A comparison is made of Hajime's fondness to the Divinity Store with Chuck Noland's attachment to "Wilson the volleyball" from the movie .
