During the execution rescue scene as Aramis and Porthos assure D'Artagnan that his rescue is at hand, Porthos remarks that the axe was a "gift from the Tsarina of Tokyo." The Three Musketeers story takes place between 1625 and 1628, a full 240 years before the city of Edo in Japan is renamed "Tokyo" by the Emperor Meiji in 1868. Regardless of how far fetched Porthos' claims may be intended to be, there is no historical way he could have known the term "Tokyo," which means "Eastern Capital" in traditional or archaic Japanese.
