Lokix also appears to be based on the superheroes of the ''{{wp|Kamen Rider}}'' franchise. The titular Riders from the franchise typically have an insect motif (most closely associated with the grasshopper), a belt used to transform into the masked superhero, and a limitation on how long they can hold the transformation; also, all of them have a finishing attack known as the ''Rider Kick''. All of these elements are present in the design of Lokix.''
Lokix also appears to be based on the superheroes of the ''{{wp|Kamen Rider}}'' franchise. The titular Riders typically have an insect motif (most often being the grasshopper), a belt used to transform into their masked alter-egos, a limitation on how long they can hold the transformation, and a signature finishing move known as the ''Rider Kick''. All of these elements are present in the design of Lokix. Its Dark type thus may reference the themes of morality in the ''Kamen Rider'' series, as many of the Riders are considered {{wp|antihero}}es, and their powers typically derive from the same sources and technology as the forces of evil they fight against.
