  <p>It may actually be a layered joke on the title referring to a Japanese battle. First "Aiura" is pronounced the same way as "iUra", like an apple product, hence Steve Jobs in the OP.

<p>In Aiura opening there's a lot Steve Job and crabs reference</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/m4WUXm.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/m4WUXm.jpg" alt="Steve Job phone crab"></a><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/GVmtvm.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/GVmtvm.png" alt="Steve Job think crabing"></a></p>

<p>There are still lot more than this. And the whole opening song is all about crab, and sometimes Steve Jobs make some appearance like two pictures above randomly. The anime it self has nothing to do with crab. What's with that? Why Steve Jobs? Why crabs?</p>

I remember this being asked at some point in time. When I'm at a computer I'll see if it was culled somehow...

So yeah, this was indeed asked several years ago - at https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3749/whats-the-deal-with-all-the-crabs-in-the-aiura-op - and was deleted due to [a DMCA takedown notice](https://anime.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4050/my-post-was-removed-due-to-dmca-takedown-notice-what-can-i-do).
