Why do the non-Japanese characters sometimes refer to Buranki as "déraciné"?

Is there any special reason for the Donyatsu shoutout in Kogane's backpack?
In Bubuki Buranki, Kogane has a Donyatsu backpack. Written on it above the face of the pastry cat are the words "Not Donyatsu". Is there any special reason (same author, authors were friends, same publisher) for that shoutout?

Why is part of Tokyo sealed off?
In episodes 1 and 2, we're shown that part of Tokyo is sealed off. In episode 2, after Oubu knocks Entei into the air, we get what I presume to be an aerial view of the region (enclosed by a circular wall):
In episode 1, we see Kinoa and Shizuru…

How is it that Maxim, Lyudmila, and Diana have three Bubuki amongst them?
Maxim has the heart of Zampaza; Lyudmila has the right arm; and Diana has the left arm. Given that they are full siblings (as far as I know), and that Bubuki are passed lineally from parent to child, how is it that they received three Bubuki from…

What happened to London?
At the very beginning of episode 13, when Epimew responds to Guy's summons to deal with a Buranki, we watch Epimew fly by London, the "former capital".

Does the kid's inherited bubuki changed shapes to fit their owner's tastes?
It seems that the inherited Bubuki (Oubu's limbs) change shape to fit the tastes of the user. It is evident in Kogane's bubuki, it has a flower pattern matching her hairpins.
Is there any reference that this is indeed so?
