Trivia

• Despite sounding similar, his codename and office rank refer to "a person or institution appointed by a testator to carry out the terms of their will," not Executioner. However, his Chinese codename actually refers to the latter, meaning "one who buries somebody."
• His surname, Giallo, means "yellow" in Italian. The word is used to refer to a genre of murder mystery fiction in Italian cinema that usually possesses grotesque elements.
• Executor's shotguns closely resemble Winchester Model 1887 or 1901 lever-action shotguns, notably used by T-800 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Indeed, his codename has a similar context to "terminator" and he has a robotic personality.
• Executor is the first ever male Operator to ever receive a 6★ alternate version. He is also the first ever 6★ Reaper Guard.
• Executor is heavily associated with the number 7:
  • His birthday is 7/7, and there was a period of 777 days between when Executor was first available for purchase with Distinction Certificates and the next time he was purchasable.
  • In his alter version, he is the 77th 6★ Operator released in the game, 17th 6★ male Operator and the 7th 6★ male Guard, his combat experience is listed as 7 years, and his maximum base ATK amount with 200% Trust is even 777. His alter version's Paradox Simulation enemy count is exactly 77, and in his alter's Operator Record, it is even revealed that he has the same exact 7 work outfits.
  • Most surprisingly, when the PV of Hortus de Escapismo was first released on Bilibili, it was released much more earlier than other PVs which is on 10:53:53 a.m., 6 minutes and 7 seconds before the usual release time of 11a.m.
  • The number 7 has significant symbolism in Christianity which represents completion and perfection, hence Executor's association with it as he is now the anointed Saint of Laterano.
  • Funnily enough, his Korean voice actor, Kim Young-sun, voiced a character named 707 in Mystic Messenger, and said character also identifies as a Catholic which fits Executor's background as a Lateran Sankta.
• Executor has been a joke topic in the CN community:
  • Because of his stern nature, Executor rarely expresses his delight. But when he smiles in the story, there is a slight change on his mouth by one pixel. As a result, his smile is often nicknamed the "one-pixel smile."
  • His hairstyle has also been compared to a mochi, vanilla ice cream scoop, glutinous rice cake or steamed bun because of its perfect white-round shape. This is especially recognized in Terra Historicus' 4-koma comic, Rhodes Island 123!.
