+== Notes ==
+* Oz and his partner Zo are two different lions from different mythologies joined into one body.
+** Oz is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Cowardly_Lion|Cowardly_Lion]] from the story [[Wikipedia:The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]] written by American author [[Wikipedia:L._Frank_Baum|Lyman Frank Braum]], with [[Wikipedia:Land_of_Oz|Oz]] being the name of the land the story occurs in and is also a moniker the Wizard uses, whose real name was [[Wikipedia:Oscar_Diggs|Oscar Diggs]].
+*** Oz's [[sacred artifact]], the Emerald Bottle, is both a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Emerald_City|Emerald City]] where the main group had to reach to talk to the Wizard and the dish of an unknown liquid the Wizard gives the Cowardly Lion, saying that it was "liquid courage".
+*** His desire of reaching space is a reference to the song of "[[Wikipedia:Over_the_Rainbow|Over the Rainbow]]" where the main protagonist [[Wikipedia:Dorothy_Gale|Dorothy]] longed for a place far from troubles, somewhere beyond the rain and behind the moon.
+** Zo is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Nemean_lion|Nemean Lion]], a creature born from [[Typhon]] and his consort [[Wikipedia:Echidna_(mythology)|Echidna]]. One of the most famous stories involving the Lion was in the [[Wikipedia:Labours_of_Hercules|Twelve Labours of Heracles]]. The Lion was the first trial [[Heracles]] had to face and turned into a loincloth after its defeat.
+*** Zo's body of not being able to be cut by a blade is a reference to how the Nemean Lion's fur was impervious to mortal weapons, so Heracles had to defeat it by strangling the lion.
+*** His desire of reaching space is a reference to how after his defeat at the hands of Heracles, [[Wikipedia:Zeus|Zeus]] commemorated the first labor by placing the Nemean Lion in the sky as the constellation [[Wikipedia:Leo_(constellation)|Leo]].
+* Their Charge Skill "Al Thahr al Asad" is the name of one of the stars in the constellation Leo. The star is now more commonly called [[Wikipedia:Delta_Leonis|Delta Leonis]] which also goes by the name "Zosma" which is where Zo gets his name from. The name "Al Thahr al Asad" means "On the Lion's Back" due to the placement of Delta Leonis on the back hip of the constellation.
