Trivia[]
- The character design of Professor Lonebach seems to have been an influence to the design of Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman from the Sonic the Hedgehog series with the bald head, glasses and his mustache as well as his build. Naoto Ohshima who was the character designer of Sonic and Eggman was a Lupin III fan.
- He also most likely influenced Hara Motro from Ghibli's 1986 film Castle in the Sky, another figure who heavily resembles Dr. Robotnik.
- His role served as an inspiration to Karst, the corrupt aviation mogul in the 1996 Arsene Lupin inspired series Night Hood.
