==Name origin==
==Names==
"Mugen" (無限) means "infinity". Spelled with different kanji (夢幻), it could also mean "dreams", "fantasy" or "visions".
 
Newton may come from the famous {{wp|Isaac Newton}}, who developed the concept of gravity, and Newton Graceland lived in the [[Reverse World]], where gravity can be stronger or weaker, depending on the location. He may also be named for British guitarist {{wp|Newton Faulkner}}, who has the same hair color as him and a similar haircut and beard. Newton Graceland's use of robotic arms throughout the movie may be a nod to the title of Newton Faulkner's debut album, {{wp|Hand Built by Robots}}, and its cover artwork, which features a huge robotic arm.
 
His last name may be a reference to {{si|Gracidea}}.
