Trivia

• Gabo speaks in Japanese-accented English accompanied by discordant notes from a piano.
• Gabo ends all of their sentences with a resounding "YES."
• Gabo is the second character voiced by Hanai Chihaya, who also voiced Robert in Extinction Party.
• On a Twitch stream, it was revealed that Gabo's design was over 2 years old. The design was unused for some time until the development of Temptation Stairway, to which it was used for Gabo.
• Gabo and Mariya are Joel Guerra's favorite ENA series characters.

Cultural references and inspirations

• During a Twitch stream, it was revealed that Mariya and Gabo were based on a religious painting. It is possible that they are based on the painting Salome Bearing the Head of St. John the Baptist, a painting which depicts Salome holding the head of St. John the Baptist on a platter.
• Gabo's line, "Drink the blood, and smoke the banana", is based on a similar line from the game Space Funeral, in which an NPC says, "I like to drink blood... and smoke the weed!"
  • The quote was originally going to be the exact same as the original source, though the mention of weed brought up worries about YouTube's Rules & Policies, so it was changed.
