The phrase "Gotta have Aruto" more literally means "Not Aruto" so when Aruto isn't the new character in the comic, it makes sense when Is says it.
The shounen manga that appears in this episode is Perfuman Tsurugi (blade). It appears to be a portmanteau of perfume and man, but maybe it's supposed to be a combination of panther and man, since the character is a humanoid animal?
Ishizumi's (石墨) name is a kanji pun on the word for sekiboku/pencil lead. Fitting for an artist.
- Ishizumi Chouichirou is probably a play on Ishinomori Shoutarou, the mangaka who created Kamen Rider.
Morifude G-Pen refers to pens (fude) and a fountain pen tip (g-pen).

Katsuya played Tadoroko's little brother on Kamen Rider Kabuto Ep 30. He also played Arima "Maru" Maruo / Beast Dopant on Kamen Rider W Ep 31 and 32.
Miyama Karen previously did voice work as Usami Ichika / Cure Whip on Kirakira☆Precure à la Mode.
Kanazawa Seine might be a reference to famous voice actress Kanazawa Hana. The sei in Seine is probably "voice" (声).
