Trivia
- Her name, in Japanese, means "Big Witch".
- Sometime in 2017, the Great Witch's name was omitted from the Character page and had been reverted from 'Daimajo'; the reason behind this change remains unknown.
- The Great Witch's familiar is based off of the mythical creature, the three-legged crow, otherwise known as Samjok-o in Korea or Yatagarasu in Japan.
- In Korea the Samjok-o was considered a symbol of the sun. The ancient Goguryo people thought that a three-legged crow lived in the sun while a turtle lived in the moon. Samjok-o was a highly regarded symbol of power, thought superior to both the dragon and the Korean bonghwang. This could emphasize the Great Witch living up to her title.
- In Japanese mythology, this flying creature is a raven or a jungle crow called Yatagarasu (八咫烏, "eight-span crow") and the appearance of the great bird is construed as evidence of the will of Heaven or divine intervention in human affairs. The crow is a mark of rebirth and rejuvenation; the animal that has historically cleaned up after great battles symbolized the renaissance after such tragedy. This could likely be a reference to how the Great Witch helps with handling the curse on Wadanohara's memory that had happened during conflict.
