* Ebian Ichikawa the "Blind Swordsman," one of the Six Upstarts, appears to be an homage to Franchise/{{Zatoichi}}. He appears to be half-blind, he carries a katana [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_sword_mountings#Shirasaya Shirasaya style]], making it look a bit like a sword-cane, and his nickname, Blind Swordsman, isn't even trying to be subtle. In fact, in his first appearance, his nickname was actually "Blind Masseuse," which has to be a joke from Tamura, especially given how it was spelt with the exact same characters (座頭市) as the Blind Swordsman's name.
