I wouldnt be surprised if this series was HEAVILY inspired by the Persona games (Persona 3, 4, 5)...their presentation, their characters, their lore, the designs of the villains, and even their power system (a bit) reminds me of Persona SO MUCH.
Persona dives into Tarot Cards, Mythologies, Yokais, Kabbalah, and Jungian Psychology more organized, but Dandadan plays with it more loosely (UFO and Yokais).

Omg, DanDaDan using so many Japanese pop culture references like JJK. 😂
✨Momo's friend acting like a detective = she is impersonating a very famous and well known tv detective from the 90s, Furuhata Ninjaburo. Like, any time I've watched Japanese tv shows and solving something is involved, someone WILL DO an impersonation of this character, lol.
✨Momo's Abe Hiroshi impersonation = He's a very famous actor known for his "shibui" face and height. "Rocket Engine Valve" is apparently something he says in one of his television dramas, Downtown Rocket, where he played the main character. I didn't watch it but that drama garnered so much attention and popularity in 2015, I at least knew who was starring and it's weekly ratings; the ratings were HIGH for a tv drama in the 2010s. Alot of Japanese people definitely watched it, lol.
