History ShoutOut / Beelzebub

* Chapter 140 references ''Franchise/XMen'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom''.

* And now, unexpectedly, to ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call of Duty 4]]''.
* Chapter before that there was a shout out to ''VideoGame/StreetFighter''. Only with more nudity.

* Nasubi's band have apparently been practicing [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya "Hare Hare Yukai"]].

-->'''Oga:''' ... and while they're in the air, finish them off with {{Wolverine}}'s Weapon X Combo Special. That's the type of woman you are.

* A nice ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' reference from Kido including his constant GendoPose.

** Yet another one in [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/49241/beelzebub_ch127_by_red-hawk-scans/3 this cover]].

* Apparently, even ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' get a shout-out [[http://www.batoto.com/read/_/9922/beelzebub_v9_ch77_by_keishou-scans from Oga]].

* Chapter 91 contains some ''Manga/DragonBall'' [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/42200/beelzebub_ch91_by_i-eat-manga/16 references]].

-->'''Furuichi:''' "Wait, isn't this what [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Goku]] has on his head? Wait...don't tell me, I'm [[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]]?!"

* Does [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/56464/beelzebub_ch135_by_red-hawk-scans/15 this image]] remind you of [[Manga/DeathNote something]]?

-->'''Kido:''' I call it the [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/9878/beelzebub_v6_ch51_by_keishou-scans/11 Ishiyama Rebirth Plan]].

* Ebian Ichikawa the "Blind Swordsman," one of the Six Upstarts, appears to be an homage to ''Franchise/{{Zatoichi}}''. He appears to be half-blind, he carries a katana [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_sword_mountings#Shirasaya Shirasaya style]], making it look a bit like a sword-cane, and his nickname, "Blind Swordsman", isn't even trying to be subtle. In fact, in his first appearance, his nickname was actually "Blind Masseuse," which has to be a joke from Tamura, especially given how it was spelt with the exact same characters (座頭市) as the Blind Swordsman's name.

* [[http://www.batoto.com/read/_/2841/beelzebub_ch80_by_keishou-scans/7 Furuichi Ear]] reminds one of a certain [[Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple "alien's" special abilities]].

* When Hilda is trying to come to terms with [[spoiler:Oga and Beel's]] body switch, she sings [[{{Disney/Pinocchio}} "When You Wish Upon A Star"]].

-->'''Furuichi:''' "Wait, isn't this what [[JourneyToTheWest Goku]] has on his head? Wait...don't tell me, I'm [[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]]?!"

* The entire [[spoiler:Hilda]] rescue arc seems to be a homage to the Rukia rescue arc from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. To further drive the point home, they both have an extremely similar [[InvertedTrope inverted]] ShutUpAndSaveMe moment.

* Chapter 211: [[{{Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis}} The Tojo of Tennis]].

** [[Videogame/DragonQuestV It's Madason you dumb ass...and this guy's Nimzo.]]

* [[http://www.batoto.com/read/_/2841/beelzebub_ch80_by_keishou-scans/7 Furuichi Ear]] reminds one of a certain [[Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple "alien's" special abilities.]]

* Apparently, even ''TheFlintstones'' get a shout-out [[http://www.batoto.com/read/_/9922/beelzebub_v9_ch77_by_keishou-scans from Oga]].

--> '''Oga''': "A man I respected said these great words - 'Everyone, give me some of your cash in aura form!'"
--> '''Furuichi''': "NO HE DID NOT!"

--> '''Furuichi''': "Wait, isn't this what [[JourneyToTheWest Goku]] has on his head? Wait...don't tell me, I'm [[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]]?!"

--> '''Kanzaki''' [[spoiler:(pretending to be Lamia writing a message to En)]]: "Let's [[Manga/ToLoveRu To Love-Ru Darkness]]!"

* Chapter 140 references ''Franchise/{{X-Men}}'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom''.
--> '''Oga''': "... and while they're in the air, finish them off with {{Wolverine}}'s Weapon X Combo Special. That's the type of woman you are."

--> '''Koma''': "[[{{Anime/Pokemon}} I'm scattering off again]]!"

* In episode 56 Kanzaki's first suggestion for a new group name is [[Manga/{{KOn}} Afterschool Yogurty Time]].

-->'''Kido:''' "I call it the [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/9878/beelzebub_v6_ch51_by_keishou-scans/11 Ishiyama Rebirth Plan."]]

** [[spoiler:''Dragon Ball'' nothing, Oga blatantly screams "I am a Super Saiyan" during the pounding he gives Satan/Fuji]].

* Chapter 239: [[spoiler:Oga uses Beel's Energy to give himself an electric Aura that turns him blond and later gathers power from all his Friends, Allies and Rivals for the final attack on the Badguy {{Franchise/DragonBall}} much?]]
