• Ryugu Tamatebacco is the third Gangler Monster to have human form not to be shown on screen (albeit it did appear in a photograph).
• Ryugu Tamatebacco's name may be based on the japanese word for giant oarfish (リュウグウノツカイ, Ryūgūnotsukai).
• Ryugu Tamatebacco's name may be based on Ryūgū-jō (Dragon Palace Castle) and Tamatebako (Jewel Box) from the story of Urashima Tarō.
  • His ability to raplidy age a human also draws insperation from the Urashima Tarō story (IE: after Urashima Tarō opens the Tamatebako he recived from Otohime (the princess of the undersea palace Ryūgū-jō; who warned not to open it), a cloud of white smoke arose thus turning him to a white-haired old man).
  • The "bacco" part may also be derived from "Tobacco", as a reference to smoking, as this Gangler's natural ability is his smoke attack.
• Ryugu Tamatebacco’s safe passcode is a reference to the first three digits of Pi.
