Trivia[]
- The Belt Buckle's item description is likely a nod to Tetsuya Nomura, video game artist and designer for popular RPG series like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Nomura has become notorious for his creative (some would say excessive) use of belts in his character designs, with the clearest example being Lulu from Final Fantasy X.
