When Day 321-330 first came up, the 2 other references I was able to find for "gokusotsu" came from the Kasha article which described the gokusotsu as "an evil ogre that torments the dead in hell" and the other reference I found was from the manga One Piece where the prison guards of Impel Down (the "hell" for pirates imprisoned by the government) have their positions spelled with 獄卒 (gokusotsu). It should be noted that there are 3 ways (that I know of) to say prison guard in Japanese (牢番, 刑務官), but "gokusotsu" is the one with the added connotation of a "tormenting demon from hell". So I'm certain that the usage here is definitely connected to the tormenting demons, Caudyr.
