* ChekhovsGun: Aomame is planning to use a gun to either fend off Sakigake's goons or kill herself if she gets captured. After acquiring the gun for her, Tamaru brings up the concept of Chekov's Gun, and both he and Aomame discuss it.

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: ''1Q84'' is a pun on ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' by George Orwell- "9" in Japanese is pronounced pronounced the same as the English letter "Q". Orwell's novel gets referenced a few times through the figure of Big Brother.
