References to real-life things within the figure and setting of the Nasuverse. Will be updated as it goes.
Setting
editWorld
edit- The Age of Gods (神代, Jindai), an era ruled by the laws of Mystery rather than physics. This era lasted from earth's creation up to the year of AD 1.
- Mesoamerican Gods in the Nasuverse are not from earth and is said to have come from 'the sky' right around the time the dinosaurs went extinct[1], paralleling the Alvarez hypothesis where a meteor struck the modern day Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula area, causing the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
Lostbelts
editFantasy Tree
editA Fantasy Tree (空想樹, Kūsōju) is a tree-like structure which sustains a Lostbelt. All of the named Fantasy tress are named after galaxies and other astronomical objects.[2]

- The connection and use of the Fusang Tree in the Chinese Lostbelt connects to the legend of Qin Shi Huang sending convicts to the far east to be sacrificed who owned Elixir of Life as Qin Shi Huang is the Lostbelt King of the Chinese Lostbelt.[8]
- Fantasy Tree Spiral in the Indian Lostbelt[9] is named after the Spiral Galaxy.
- The Fantasy Tree is said to be located in a recreation of the Kshira Sagara, making Fantasy Tree Spiral a parallel to the Kalpavriksha, a wish granting tree which was formed through the The Churning of the Ocean[10]. The Kalpavriksha is also mentioned in the Mahabharata which is what the Indian Lostbelt is heavily based on[11].
