Line 454:
* Many names in the movie ''[[Appleseed]]'' are references to Greek mythology. Most notably, General Uranus is named after the titan who devours his own children, and his goal is to destroy the [[Artificial Human|Bioroids]] who can be considered children of humanity. Furthermore, {{spoiler|his plan would inadvertently cause the whole mankind to become infertile.}} There's also Colonel Hades, whose name [[Everybody Hates Hades|has more to do with Satan]] than the Greek god of the Underworld. Finally, Prime Minister Athena is named after the goddess of wisdom.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''
** In the dub version, the duelist assassin named X was given the name "Howard X. Miller", a reference to his deck strategy - he used a Mill Deck. [[Incredibly Lame Pun| (Cue annoyed groans from fans.)]] Fortunately, he tells Judai [[Friendly Address Privileges| "But you can call me X,"]] and it's never mentioned again.
** In the manga version, Seika Kohinata. Her name sounds like the Japanese word for "snake", and she uses a snake-themed deck.
** Professor Cobra's name is very fitting, as he's a [[Card-Carrying Villain]], but he also uses a snake-themed deck.
