** The "Death Busters" arc can be considered a magical girl reimagining of ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossTheEighthDimension'' which also involves a plot of a mostly one-gender group of heroes (the Sailor Guardians being this to the Hong Kong Cavaliers) up against an evil alien force led by TheQuisling MadScientist (the Death Busters and Professor Tomoe being this to the Red Lectroids and Dr. Emilio Lizardo / Lord John Whorfin). Also, both ''Back to the Future'' and ''The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension'' were produced by Neil Canton so it comes full circle.
