In my honest opinion, I believe this is too coherent to be a coincidence, but with no confirmation, I will keep it as speculation.

There is a character from Touhou named Sariel, and their resemblance to Asriel is impressive.

First, their name. Just exchange the first two letters, and you get Asriel.

Second, their occupation. According to Gerson, the Delta Rune shows the Angel of Death from the prophecy. Asriel's final form resembles said Angel of Death (and is speculated to be the Angel). Do you know what Sariel's species and occupation is? That's right. An Angel of Death.

Third, their outfit. Sariel wears a purple robe with long, white sleeves and a strange symbol on their chest that strikingly resembles the Delta Rune; this is literally Toriel's and God of Hyperdeath's outfit. (see Sariel's appearance: https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Sariel)

Last and least, Sariel is the final boss from the game, just like Asriel is.

And to put the icing on the cake, Toby knows about Touhou, and it's not the first time he has done a reference. What do you think?
