History ShoutOut / DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony

* The helmets used for entering the Virtual World look remarkably similar to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4's VR headsets.

* The Neo World Program [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FzCMpKYX0AA-_zU?format=jpg&name=large looks suspiciously like]] an UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}.

* Ouma spends an entire Free Time Event roleplaying [[Franchise/YuGiOh Seto Kaiba]] and makes two ''{{Manga/Kaiji}}'' references in another one. Angie's events also references Creator/StudioGhibli movies, Shinguji's have ''VideoGame/YokaiWatch''. Tsumugi's is as filled with them as you would expect and surprisingly, so are Gonta's. Ryoma's first two Free Time Events [[spoiler:with Shuichi]] also reference characters from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis''.

* One of the tutorials says that "There's a [[Music/PanicAtTheDisco panic! In the courtroom]]."

* Monosuke claims Monokuma is from an alien planet whose inhabitants can evolve and by getting angrier — he names his father's evolution cycles as "Super Monokuma, Super Monokuma 2, Super Monokuma 3, and finally Super Monokuma 4." Rather like [[Manga/DragonBall the Saiyans]], no?

** One of the Monokuma Theaters, specifically the one referencing ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', directly quotes another famous movie.

* Also during Monokuma's first appearance, he dresses up as [[{{Manga/Kinnikuman}} Brocken Jr.]] while slapping the Monokubs, saying that there are no memorable second-generation success stories.

-->'''Rantaro''': [[Manga/HunterXHunter A kid with white hair who was trained to be an assassin from birth... An adventurer who used chains, trying to hunt down his people's stolen eyes... A tall man obsessed with card tricks, with a star tattooed under his eye...]] Even an adventurer who was [[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon trying to pick up girls in a dungeon]].

* Korekiyo’s [=FTEs=] involve him espousing his unique worldview and experiences, wanting to share in his activities and eventually desiring to travel together with Shuichi, feeling that he’s the only person who can understand him. Then it turns out he’s a serial killer motivated specifically by the death of his sister. Once this is known, it’s retroactively obvious that he was constantly alluding to it and wanted to make Shuichi into a killer alongside him, meaning all five [=FTEs=] are a long [[{{Series/Hannibal}} Hannigram]] reference.
