The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|murmillo}}-class Roman {{wp|gladiator}}s, or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} with a horsehair crest worn by Greek {{wp|hoplite}}s, but it may also be based on medieval {{wp|knight}}s. Additionally, its battle stances in various media resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of modern {{wp|fencing}}, while the elbow swords themselves have a close resemblance to {{wp|tonfa}}s, wooden bars held against the arm to act as batons and arm guards. The red piece on its chest may represent the heart, alluding to the empathic and protective nature of its evolutionary family mixed with {{wp|chivalry}} of a knight. | The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|murmillo}}-class Roman {{wp|gladiator}}s, or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} with a horsehair crest worn by Greek {{wp|hoplite}}s, but it may also be based on medieval {{wp|knight}}s.

Gallade's militaristic design may reference ''Sirnight'', Gardevoir's original name in Japanese. | ||
Mega Gallade's cape is similar to a superhero cape or {{wp|matador}} or bullfighter's fabric. | Mega Gallade's cape is similar to a superhero cape or {{wp|matador}} or bullfighter's fabric. | ||
