 In the Web Novel, "Warlock of Magus World" Gargamel is the name of an early arc antagonist,an amalgamation of spirits.According to French sociologist Antoine Buéno, Gargamel is suggestive of a stereotype of a Jew, having a big nose, magic powers, love of gold, and balding looks.In addition, Gargamel's cat Azrael's name in Hebrew actually means "God is my helper" (in Israel he is called "Hat-hattul" which is composed of the Hebrew words for "fear" and "cat").
