Translation and Dub Issues

 * A variant of its name makes up the first part of the word "bacularia", another name for the genus linospadix; which follows Amazon Lily's tradition of having its inhabitants named after flowers or flowering plants. It's unknown whether this is intentional or coincidental.
 * Its name also bears a resemblance to Bagheera, the black Indian Leopard from Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Again, it is unknown whether or not this is intended by Oda.
