* [[PlanetLooters Emperor Corsair]] gets his name from the French word ''corsaire'' (pirate, privateer), from the Medieval Latin word ''cursārius'' (pirate), and from the Latin word ''cursus'' (course, a running; plunder, hostile inroad).
** Emperor Corsair's [[spoiler:death by assassination is similar to the bloody nature of Emperor Zambajil's death in ''Voltes V'', with him being assassinated by Teles and his sympathizers like how Heinel ultimately killed the Boazan Emperor.]]

** A good description for this anime is that it's ''[[TheBattlestar Yamato]]'' with [[RecycledInSpace SUPER ROBOTS!]] or ''[[MarketBasedTitle Star Blazers]]'' with ''[[Anime/{{Voltron}} VOLTRON!]]''

* Planet Galveston being a [[SacrificialPlanet doomed planet]], thus pushing its inhabitants to conquer planets outside their galaxy is the same plot point found in ''Anime/CombattlerV'' and its Planet Campbell or ''Daimos'' and its Planet Baam.
* [[BreakTheCutie Sirk]], the highly trusted adjutant and [[LikeBrotherAndSister sister figure]] of Teles, is likely based on [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl Erika]] from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}''. Both are alien women whose [[CainAndAbel brother figures]] want to invade the Earth, but they are [[AllLovingHero kind-hearted]] and want peace with the humans instead.

* Like with ''Franchise/StarWars'', the Tri-Planet Alliance (Galaxy Alliance) ships fire [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience white or blue-white beams]] while the Galveston ships fire [[RedOniBlueOni red beams]].

* [[BreakTheCutie Sirk]], the highly trusted adjutant and sister figure of Teles, is likely based on [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl Erika]] from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}''. Both are alien women whose [[CainAndAbel brother figures]] want to invade the Earth, but they are [[AllLovingHero kind-hearted]] and want peace with the humans instead.

** In turn, Teles is a variant of your typical Super Robot [[TheDragon anti-villain commander]] of the invading alien force[[note]]cut from the same cloth as Garuda from ''Combattler V'', Prince Heinel from ''Voltes V'', and Richter from ''Daimos''[[/note]]. He's possibly even one of the first [[CharClone Char Clones]] directly modeled after the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' character, although he does lack that signature mask to hide his identity,

Here are the shout-outs from ''Armored Fleet Dairugger XV''.

* Like with the Super Robots of ''Combattler V'' and ''Voltes V'', Dairugger is composed of airplanes, submarines, and land vehicles multiplied by three.

* Coincidentally, like with Akira Kogane from ''Anim/GoLion'', Manabu Aki is also nicknamed "Chief" by his crew.

* General Caponello's [[GeneralRipper war-mongering ways]] while he himself is a DirtyCoward is highly reminiscent of the role fulfilled by General Sakamori Miwa in ''Daimos''.

* A character in the show is named [[NamedAfterSomeoneFamous Captain Dick Asimov]]. As in Creator/IsaacAsimov of ''Literature/IRobot'' fame.

* Planet Galveston itself is in reference to the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galveston_Island Galveston Island]].

* Patty Ellington's name is a combination of Creator/PattyDuke of ''Series/ThePattyDukeShow'' fame and Music/DukeEllington, renowned jazz pianist and band leader. So she's basically [[NamedAfterSomeoneFamous Patty "Duke" Ellington]] but without the "Duke" part.

* Planet Galveston itself is in reference to the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galveston_Island Galveston Island]].

** Emperor Corsair's [[spoiler:death is similar to the bloody nature of Emperor Zambajil's death in ''Voltes V'', with him being assassinated by Teles and his sympathizers like how Heinel ultimately killed the Boazan Emperor.]]

* [[spoiler:Unlike Hazar in ''[[Anime/{{Voltron}} Vehicle Team Voltron]]'', Teles is left to die a martyr on the doomed planet Galveston at his request while his [[AllUpToYou loyal adjutant Sirk]] is left to lead the rest of the Galveston people to a new home. This is highly referential to the ending in ''Daimos'', where Erika, not Richter, becomes the new leader. The flames that engulf Teles are similar to Prince Heinel's [[DeathEqualsRedemption redeemed death]] in ''Voltes V''.]]

* The aliens of Galveston are very similar to the ones from the Gamilas Empire from ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'', particularly when it comes to their [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation strange skin complexion]] but not so much their [[RedEyesTakeWarning bloodshot eyes]]. A good description for this anime is that it's ''[[TheBattlestar Yamato]]'' or ''[[MarketBasedTitle Star Blazers]]'' with [[RecycledInSpace SUPER ROBOTS!]]

* Captain Lafitte is named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Lafitte Jean Lafitte]], a French pirate who operated in the Gulf of Mexico during the early 19th century.

* General Caponello's war-mongering ways while he himself is a DirtyCoward is highly reminiscent of the role fulfilled by General Sakamori Miwa in ''Daimos''.
