Although it is no secret that Zurg's character was created as an affectionate parody of Darth Vader from Star Wars, his design is believed to have been inspired by that of Berg Katse (also known as Zoltar) from the anime series known as Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (temporarily known in the west as Battle of the Planets), since both characters dress in purple outfits and wear identical looking black and red capes with collars. It is also worth mentioning that Zurg's name even rhymes with Berg, and that Berg Katse's alternate name in the Battle of the Planets dub, Zoltar, begins with the letter Z, just like Zurg.
