* Surtr is based on the Jötunn of the same name, in norse mithology, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surtr Surtr], who, at the time of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6k Ragnarök] will perform battle with the major God [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freyr Freyr]

His defeat of the major god [[Wikipedia:Freyr|Freyr]] would signal the end of Ragnarök, where he would engulf the world in a sea of flames to cleanse the world of the gods so that the humans could take over the Earth.
* At the end of said battle, Surtr is said to slay Freyr, and it is said that Surtr's flames will raze the world, and from the remains, a new one will flourish, along with the gods that survive Ragnarök.
** The end of Ragnarök is reflected in the game with the [[Protagonist]] not being allowed to beat Surtr as it was set in stone in their own world that the Protagonist (as Freyr) would perish by Surtr's hand.
* The mentions of Twilight, both in his KO line on his 3 and 4 stars versions, as well as the Valentine's version Title Screen's text is in reference to the same, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6k Ragnarök], also called "the Twilight of the gods".

* Despite his Valentine version saying it's a speciality, it is unlikely that Giant Cake is something that could be taken from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muspelheim Muspelheim], the "Realm of Fire", from which the sun, moon and stars were created.
* One of his [[Sacred Artifact|Sacred Artifacts]] is a helmet that stores the memories of shadows; the helmet itself is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Helm_of_Awe|Helm of Awe]], also known as the Helm of Terror, it was one of the items the hero [[Wikipedia:Sigurd|Sigurd]] took from [[Wikipedia:Fafnir|Fafnir]]'s hoard after slaying him.
* Surtr's charge skill "Sviga Laevi" is taken from the [[Wikipedia:Poetic_Edda|Poetic Edda]]; wherein in Old Norse it means "scathe of branches" which is a description of the appearance of fire.
