History
Elder Bloom first appears in EP043, strangely without being summoned from the Medallium (similarly to Spoilerina before him).

Origin
Elder Bloom is based on the protagonist of the Hanasaka Jiisan fairytale, or "The Old Man Who Made the Dead Trees Blossom". At the climax of the story, the old man scatters the ashes of a burnt mortar and makes withered cherry trees bloom beautifully. The local daimyo, who was passing by, is so marveled by that scenery that he showers the old man with precious gifts and treasures, making him happy for the rest of his life.
