So I meant to throw this screenshot in my earlier shitpost dump, but I forgor. I guess you can argue it's more a cute piece of trivia from the Cour2 Watch Parties than a shitpost...

「タルタルソース」 - Tartar Sauce

In watch Party Ep 20, Hirata Hiroaki (Kotetsu's seiyuu), and Morita Masakazu (Bunny's seiyuu), have a discussion about the Underworld's Tartarus (from Greek Mythology), because Luna tells Kotetsu and Bunny they're headed there for trying to help the robbers who killed Origa.

Tartarus is the region of the Underworld where the most evil go to suffer and is also used as a prison for the Titans.

Anyway, Hirata pulls out sheets of written facts about Tartarus and reads them to the audience. Morita gets a kick out of watching Hirata get through the terms, and Hirata is rather pleased with himself for learning something new.

In Watch Party 24, Yusa Kōji (Yuri/Luna's seiyuu aka "Yusatic") 🤣 is their guest. Hirata and Morita bring up the Taibani Cour2 pv. Hirata actually calls his character's appearance in the pv "Yuri", but Yusa corrects him to say "Lunatic". Then Hirata calls Tartarus "Tartar Sauce"!! to which Yusa replies "Tartarus."

Hirata is absolutely adorable in all of these, and is a friggin treasure. Also I love whenever he puts on his reading glasses.

Also in the TaiBani server I belong to, we discussed other inclusions of Greek Mythology (outside of Yuri's mentions of Thanatos and Tartarus - also Themis if you count his character single).

The agencies that represent the heroes other than Jungle and TopMaG are also based on Greek Mythology. (Thank you Saint Seiya for making me such a fan of this topic).

Helios - the god that personifies the Sun

Poseidon - Presides over the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses. Also sometimes governs Atlantis as part of his domain such as in Plato's Timaeus and Critias.

Odysseus - King of Ithaca and hero featured in Homer's Odyssey

Apollo(n) - The Greek god of archery, healing, music (and the arts), light, the Sun, knowledge, herds and flocks, and protection of the young.

Titan - elder gods who ruled the earth before the Olympians over threw them.

Kronos - Ruler of the Titans and Zeus' (ruler of Olympus) father

Hesperides - Nymphs of evening and golden lights of sunset

Ouroboros is actually not a Greek Mythology term. Its an ancient symbol from Egyptian iconography, Greek magic, and alchemy, that represents the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth.
