* FantasticReligiousWeirdness: Briefly alluded to. Matoi and Yuma are Japanese, and work at Yuma's family's Shinto shrine. Divine Union is explained in ways that fit a polytheistic/animist worldview, with the Higher-Dimensional Beings explained as being the origin for stories of various gods, while the Nights are explained as the inspiration for stories of demons. Divine Union, essentially, allows a human to let themselves be possessed by a god (albeit in a benevolent way that still gives the human agency). Clarus, meanwhile, works for the Vatican and keeps her own Higher-Dimensional Being locked away when not in use, and it's explained in Episode 8 that the suitcase suppresses her connection to it while giving her more control in other ways. Given that Christianity is monotheistic, it's implied that this is because, from a monotheistic perspective, Higher-Dimensional Beings bonding fully with a human is seen as akin to DemonicPossession, hence the idea of Clarus "suppressing" her Being's powers.
