* {{Expy}}: Uta is a blue-haired girl in love with a boy, and has associations with the title character of ''Literature/TheLittleMermaid''. She shares these traits with Sayaka Miki of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', which Gen Urobuchi was the head writer for. [[spoiler: Her final moments being spent lying in the water amidst a ruined city also bears some resemblance to Madoka's final moments with Homura in the third timeline of that show's tenth episode. Notably, her final words to Hibiki are similar to Madoka's final words to Homura, with her declaring her love for humanity like Madoka telling Homura that she thinks the world is worth protecting despite everything.]]
