In popular culture Laplace no Ma, a video game about Laplace's demon In Kamen Rider Fourze the Libra Horoscopes develops an ability called "The eye of Laplace" In Mega Man Star Force 3 Solo gains a wizard named Laplace. In Pokémon, the Japanese name of Lapras is Laplace (ラプラス). In Goddess of Victory: Nikke, one of the Nikkes in the Matis squad is named Laplace. All three members of Matis are named for famous scientists: Laplace, Maxwell, and Drake. The idea of the Laplace Demon has been cited several times in Japanese pop culture: In the Super Robot Wars serial, Elemental Lord of the Wind Cybuster is said to be equipped with the Laplace Demon which can alter the Laws of Probabilities. In Gundam UC, the titular machine, the Gundam Unicorn, has the La+ (Laplus; Laplace) operative system, which is the key to obtain the Box of Laplace—a repository of secret information whose possession could change the course of the world. In Mushoku Tensei, the Demon God who tried to rule the world was called Laplace. In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Laplace is a name of one member of The Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
