Etymology
Exodus is actually a mistranslation of Exdeath, the main antagonist of Final Fantasy V, and his name and title relate to Exdeath's origin. Exodus's body resembles Exdeath's knight form, albeit with a different head. The twisted roots and branches that surround Exodus reflect Exdeath's origin as a sentient tree. Exodus's goal to reduce the world to a state of nothingness is identical to that of Neo Exdeath.

Exodus's title is the "Judge-Sal," in which "Sal" refers to a type of tree native to Northern India.

He is also referred to as the Tula Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.
