Trivia

 * This is the first time a Sagako is shown to possess a human, despite Jofuku having mentioned before that this was impossible.
 * This is because the prosperity of Saga has increased and made the Sagakos have more power in Saga.
 * There is something called "The Prosperity of SAGA" that blesses areas of Saga that receive love from its inhabitants, which would explain why the onions of the great Hyodo can seal the curses since that area receives love from its cultivators.
 * It is the first time in the series that the existence of the elixir of immortality is confirmed, and that this is the cause of the curse itself.
 * In turn, it is implied that Jofuku is not originally from Japan, these two points would confirm the legend of Jofuku in Saga and its historical relevance
