Notes[]
- The Republic of Muamba is geographically based on the remote village of Muamba-Mulolo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. During the era the manga was made, the Congo was under an alliance with the Soviet Union, suffered a coup of its leader and became a dictatorship. The Metal X conflict presented in the episode mirrors real world events of the 21st century, as wars erupt in Africa over precious resources such as diamonds.
