==Trivia==

*The Bioroid Fracture appears to pay homage to the ''[[Wikipedia:Bio Booster Armor Guyver|Bio-Booster Armor Guyver]]'' series of manga and anime written by [[Wikipedia:Yoshiki Takaya|Yoshiki Takaya]], in which the titular Guyver Unit is a suit of symbiotic armor designed to amplify the wearers lifeforce.

**Given this, the term "Bioroid" is possibly a play on the word "Zoanoid," which are genetically augmented humans and the foot soldiers of the Chronos corporation in the ''Guyver'' series.

**The Israfil helmet bears a distinct resemblance to the Guyver Unit armor itself.

*The Bioroid helmets are named after mythological beings of multiple human cultures and religions:

**Apollyon is the Greek name for '''Abaddon''', an important term for both Judaism (a place) and Christianity (a fallen angel) religions. In both religions, however, Apollyon/Abaddon is related to the concept of destruction.

Line 106:

**Israfil is the name of one of the four angels who will blow the trumpet twice to signal the Qiyamah (the Judgement Day) in Islam: the first blow will kill all living creatures and the second blow will revive them.

**Tithonus is a Greek figure, who's described as Goddess Eos' lover; in the myth, Tithonus became immortal but unable to age. Eos, unable to help him, made him into a cicada.

**The entire Bioroid fracture appears to be homage to the Guyver bio booster armor series of manga and anime written by Yoshiki Takaya, in it the titular Guyver unit is a suit of symbiotic armor designed to amplify the wearers lifeforce, with the Israfil armor looking similar to the Guyver unit,

**The name bioroid appears to be a play on the word Zoanoid which in the guyver series were genetically augmented humans and the foot soldiers of the Chronos corporation.
