| 5 | The story focuses on an 11-year-old boy named Byron Oakington III, who lives in London during the 1800s. With [[OldRetainer his loyal butler Aloysius]], he travels around with surgical abominations called "Homunculi" and battles them against the ones created by others.

| 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. |
