- Enel is also the name of the main Italian electric company.
- The symbols seen on Enel’s drums are called tomoe and are very common in Japanese heraldry such as family emblems and corporate logos. The tomoe are also present on another One Piece character, Sentomaru.
- Enel’s belief that he is a god is also similar to the Celestial Dragons who see themselves as godlike.
- Monkey D. Luffy being Enel’s natural enemy (due to his Devil Fruit immunity to Enel’s Goro Goro no Mi) is highly appropriate, as the Family of D. is referred to as “God’s Natural Enemy” and Enel believes himself to be a God.
- According to Oda, if Enel was to take off his bandana, his hair would be styled in a perm.
- In the sixth Japanese Fan Poll, Enel ranked 43th.
