Love Exposure - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Yu's female fighting persona is named "Miss Scorpion" (Sasori).

This is a direct homage to the iconic 1970s Japanese exploitation film series "Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion." The series starred Meiko Kaji as a vengeful anti-heroine, a character whose rebellious and violent spirit mirrors Yoko's own nature. By adopting this persona, Yu inadvertently embodies an archetype that Yoko can admire.
