| − | | The unnamed jungle [[Yaiba Kurogane]] and [[Kenjuro Kurogane|his father]] live in seems to be (intentionally) highly ambigious about what jungle or even where it could remotely be. Besides the rather generous surroundings, animals like Gorillas (from Sub-Saharan Africa), Tigers (having their habitat in continental Asia) and Jaguars (who usually live in Central and South America) seem to have their habitat there.

| − | | Onimaru forces his entry into the [[Wikipedia:National Diet Building|Kokkai-gijidō]], also known as the National Diet Building of Japan in the district of [[Wikipedia:Nagata-chō|Nagata]] in [[Wikipedia:Chiyoda, Tokyo|Chiyoda Ward]] of Tokyo to take over the government of the country and remodel the building in his image of a demon castle, which he uses throughout '''Chapter 17 - 61''' ([[Yaiba Volume 2]], Chapter 8 - [[Yaiba Volume 7]], Chapter 2). So, yes, Onimaru's castle is technically a real building - as this, it's one of the more important places to pinpoint the location of the fictional [[Yaoya]] District and the mansion of the [[Mine family]], since it's pretty close to the castle.

It's location is the [[Wikipedia:Marunouchi|Marunouichi District]] in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. They disguise themselves and instantly go to the Mine house by foot afterwards, implying that Sayaka's home is relatively close to Marunouichi - another hint that Yaoya Town is around Chiyoda.
