Trivia
- In demonology, Asmodai (also spelled as Ashmodai, Asmodeus, Asmody, and Asmoday) is a Great King of Hell, with 72 legions of demons under his command. He is depicted as a strong and powerful figure, with three heads (a bull's, a man's, and a ram's), a serpent's tail, issuing flames from his mouth, while sitting upon an infernal dragon and holding a lance with a banner. He is also considered one of the Seven Crowned Princes of Hell, representing the Deadly Sin of Lust.
- In "You fit right in now, Iruma kun", it is revealed that he suffers from ichthyophobia (The fear of fish).
- A mistranslation originally labeled Lily and Viole Alice's sisters. Though this was not the case, many fans are not aware that it was an error. The erroneous translation can still be read on many websites, but the original group later corrected the translation to "a relative's children."
- Asmodeus' name has been translated the same way by most translators (Asmodeus). The official romanization released in the character booklet that came with chapter 185 was "Asmdeus." The virtual unpronounceablity of this spelling ultimately made many question the validity of the character booklet's romanizations.
