In Bunny Must Die, the main character can stop time and throw knives. This may be an homage to Dio, rather than Sakuya, but also the final boss Chelsea, in one of her forms, shoots lots of danmaku at you.
Also, this one is almost certainly coincidental, since BMD came out before DS, but one of the bosses is named Septentrion Pleiades, Utsuho's final spellcard is called Septentrion.
