During the final battle, Giygas makes several off-color statements when damaged that sound similar to a person being raped. This had been deliberate as game creator Shigesato Itoi was basing it on dialogue from the Japanese film ''The Military Policeman and the Dismembered Beauty'', which traumatized him when he stumbled into it when he was young.
