Trivia
- In the anime, it was unclear if Oshiti is the witch's name, or simply a word used in its labyrinth; later in the same episode, Raspberry's name is clearly presented both on the entrance to its labyrinth and behind the witch when it attacks Yachiyo, where no such runes are given to this witch.
- Its name was confirmed to be Oshiti when it was added to the game.
- Gokumon(獄門, "gate of jail")is a Japanese death penalty in Edo period. In this execution method, the criminal was beheaded and then the severed head was gibbeted.
- Oshiti is likely named after Yaoya Oshichi, a young girl in 1600's Japan that was executed via burning at the stake at Suzugamori for arson. She once fell in love with a temple page during a great fire in the Tennen Era, and attempted arson the following year, believing she could meet him again if another fire occured. At the time, however, minors (those fifteen years or younger) could not be given the death penalty, and so a magistrate, hoping to absolve her, asked her age twice; both times, she misunderstood his intentions, and falsely gave her age as sixteen, and the magistrate had no choice but to have her executed. In the calendar then used in Japan, a year is known by five elements, and one of 12 animals. Oshichi was born in 1666, the year of the fire horse.
- These elements all likely reference both the fire in Oshiti's labyrinth, and, possibly, Yachiyo's attempts to reunite with Mifuyu through the use of the Mizuna Shrine Uwasa, guarded by the Uwasa of the Commoner's Horse.
- The Suzugamori execution grounds were one of many sites where Tokugawa shogunate executed criminals (such as anti-government conspirators and Christians) during the Edo period. Criminals were executed on the outskirts of the city to avoid the "spiritual pollution" of the city. During the time, Suzugamori was on Tokyo Bay, where criminals were also executed; those executed at the bay were suspended upside-down and drowned when the tide rose. A few remnants are still on the site. Among them are a well, an iron post for execution by burning, and a stone base for erecting wooden pillars for crucifixion.
- "Oshiti" may be based on the Japanese word "oshiete" (教える), meaning "to teach by example", and/or "oshiri" (おしり), meaning "buttock", as this witch resembles either a pelvis or an upside-down face.
