* FanNickname: Capt. Ashiro is called "Kaiju Hunter [[Manga/SpyXFamily Yor]]" by some fans, as the two bear a passing resemblance to each other (particularly in their respective anime adaptations) and share the same height, age, and hair and eye colors.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The anime's first opening is ''gorgeous'', featuring some phenomenally smooth and detailed CGI rendition of animals, nature and kaiju, ending with a shot of Kafka and Mina followed by an impressively rendered Kaiju No. 8 reproducing his pose on the first manga volume cover.

** For a while, there was one with ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' due to superficial similarities between the characters and backstory, especially with how Kafka and Denji became {{Henshin Hero}}es and their dynamic with a TwoGuysAndAGirl trio and a mentor/inspirational figure with some sort of romantic connection. This largely died out when ''Kaiju No. 8'' started to become more formulaic and uninspired, while similar criticism of ''Chainsaw Man'' came much later in its lifespan and after its first major saga was wrapped up. Funnily enough, Creator/FairouzAi, Kikoru's voice actress in the anime, also voiced Power in the ''Chainsaw Man'' adaptation; both characters were sometimes compared to each other in terms of overall role.
* GeniusBonus: When Kaiju No. 9 returns, he is in control of a pack of ant monsters, growing like a fungus out of the forehead of one of them. The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis Ophiocordyceps unilateralis]] is a real life parasitic fungus that infects ants, changes their behavior to allow itself to reproduce and turning them into zombie-like insects and grows from their heads. The fungus is famously known as the inspiration for the zombie outbreak in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''.
