Yaiba as "Kamen Yaiba".

The name Kamen Yaiba is a combination of a parody of the Tokusatsu TV show Kamen Rider, as well as Gosho Aoyama's previous manga and anime Yaiba, referencing a moment from chapter 184, when Yaiba Kurogane put on Sayaka Mine's underwear like a mask to protect himself from the attacks of the Cedar Pollen Soldier, resembling the Rider a bit and jokingly calling himself "Kamen Yaiba" because of this. That franchise itself has had screenplays done by Toshiki Inoue.
