Trivia[]

  • It's heavily implied José and his father are both Nazis:
    • José wears a Hitler Youth uniform[1] and walks with a goose step.[2]
    • His father also branded "names" on the Cyber series' arms, similar to what was done on Nazi concentration camp prisoners.[3]
  • It's also heavily implied that von Reichter, and in turn José who's his clone, is actually Josef Mengele:
    • Both Reichter and Mengele were German scientists who experimented on humans and fled to South America after the end of World War 2, and both share the same birth year.[4]
    • José's name is also a variation of Josef.[5]
  • Von Reichter considers Cybersix his greatest failure and Data 7 as one of his finest creations.
  • In the live-action series, the first episode's ending credits incorrectly lists Iván Espeche as the actor who played Doctor von Reichter, when in fact it was Claudio Da Passano who played him, Espeche actually plays Lucas Amato.
