  • Aion is a Greek word meaning "time"/"age"/"era" and a word Plato used to refer to "eternity". It refers to the true god's metaexistence in Gnosticism and its an existence that opposes to the Archon (which is the fake gods, such as "Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth").

    • The kanji 「魂源」 (Kongen) is a homophone of 「根源」 (Kongen, "Origin"), with 「魂」 (Kon, "Soul") substituting 「根」 (Kon, "Root").
    • 「影劫回帰」 (Eigō Kaiki) is a homophone of 「永劫回帰」 (Eigō Kaiki, "Eternal Return"), with 「影」 (Ei, "Shadow") substituting 「永」 (Ei, "Eternal").
    • Eternal return is the concept proposed by Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, believing that humanity has no previous lives or next lives, but repetitions of the current life.
