Astro Royale draws heavy inspiration from Japanese myths for character abilities and names. Characters like Terasu and Hibaru are linked to Japanese deities & legends. Astro Royale's potential hints from Japanese mythology could lead to a unique and culturally rich narrative.

Ken Wakui, the creator of the successful action-packed and emotive manga Tokyo Revengers, that received an equally popular anime adaptation, is known for using various mythologies from around the world to inspire his work. His newest series, Astro Royale, seems to be following this trend, this time drawing heavy inspiration from Japanese myths and legends. From attack names to the main character Hibaru, Wakuis story is filled with references to his home country's folklore.

Many characters Astros, powers granted to those who made a wish before a comet crashed on Earth, are named after beings or objects found in Japanese myths.

These inspirations could be indications of what Wakui has...
