So... I just realized something that can only be discribed as a reference...

in Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow there's a Boss Fight (no shit sherlock) agains Zephyr. Zephyr is a monster thing that can stop time for a few seconds. Now here come the fun parts: when he does this he will sometimes say "Toki wo tomare!". and his main way of attacking is by throwing knives.

the only thing that could have made the reference more obvious of his name had to do with The World or literally was Za Warudo.

Edit: after looking it up, it is actually a reference (Konami used to be cool, remember guys?)

Zephyr is based on Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and uses similar attacks, i.e. throwing knives and freezing time. One of his Japanese voice clips even echoes Dio's famous "Toki wo, tomare!" ("時を止まれ!", "Time, stop!"). His fight on top of the clock tower is a reference to Part 3 of the manga.
