5 | The story focuses on an 11-year-old boy named Byron Oakington III, who lives in London during the 1800s.

7 | !!This series contains examples of: |
8 | * BedlamHouse: St. H.H. Holms Hospital, where the Homunculi are 'healed', doubles as a mental prison. We don't see the condition of the human patients, but given that the surgeon uses maggots and leeches it can't be good. |
9 | * BodyHorror: The ''creations'' that bodybuilders battle qualify, being combinations of body parts from different creatures. |
10 | * CrapSackWorld: This takes place in Victorian London, and as such England is economically stratified and heavily polluted. |
11 | * HedgeMaze: There is one behind Byron's mansion. |
12 | * ItWillNeverCatchOn: Professor Nox states that an electrified rat has no appeal to children and isn't marketable at all. This is an obvious reference to Pikachu. |
13 | * OurHomunculiAreDifferent: The ones in this story are created by wealthy children and made to fight against each other for sport and entertainment. |
14 | * ReducedToRatburgers: The second episode shows three poor children drinking water from a polluted and corpse-filled river, and then eating an opossum's head. |
