Zacian's sword's ability to cut through anything, with Zamazenta's shield resisting any attack, could be an example of an {{wp|irresistible force paradox}}. One of the most famous examples of this in folklore includes the Chinese tale of a peddler selling a spear and a shield with similar properties, only to be asked what would happen if the two items were to be used against one another. Another example tells of the Greek hunting hound {{wp|Laelaps (mythology)|Laelaps}}, which always caught its prey, being set upon {{wp|Teumessian fox}}, which could never be caught, and had to be turned into constellations to prevent the paradox.

Collectively, Zacian and Zamazenta may also be based on {{wp|Sirius}}, a binary star colloquially known as the "Dog Star". Specifically, Zacian may represent Sirius A, the brighter one. This star has a mass 1.1 times that of the Sun, which corresponds to Zacian's weight of 110 kg.


Additionally, the crescent shapes on its sword while using Behemoth Blade may reference {{wp|Hati Hróðvitnisson}}, a wolf that chases after the Moon in Norse mythology.
