In the story, the Griffin is set to have been manufactured at Shaft Enterprises' Tsuchiura Research Center, and since a statue of the Griffin was exhibited at a special exhibition held at the Tsuchiura City Civic Gallery in January 2022, fans have been visiting the area as a sacred place for the work. Starting in 2023, design manholes will be installed in 18 locations across the city, and a deck-up event is held at the Kirara Festival every August.
