History ShoutOut / DiamondInTheRough

Despite being a horrific, [[TearJerker heart-wrenching]] [[DeconstructionFic deconstruction of Touhou]], Diamond In The Rough is filled to the brim with [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] galore.

* Brolli lands on Yukari's pillow with a [[MemeticMutation pomf]] sound.

* "[[{{Music/M83}} Gensokyo's a goldmine, so treat it like it'll melt tomorrow!]]" is a reference to "Steve [=McQueen=]" by M83, which contains very prophetic lyrics about Brolli's situation...
-->''I woke up stronger than ever,''
-->''Driven by big waves of fire,''
-->''To run and yell all the way.''
-->''Nothing can hurt me today!''
-->
-->''There's a magic inside''
-->''Just waiting to burst out.''
-->''The world is a goldmine''
-->''That will melt tomorrow.''
* The Kappa Valley's presentation and soundtrack is reminiscent of [[VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline Pioneer 2]].
* Nitori makes Brolli [[Franchise/StarWars a lightsaber]] and says, "[[Film/ANewHope Melee weapons are no match for a good spell card at your side, kid.]]"

* A subtle one to LetsPlay/PewDiePie when Chair Mode worked, Brolli screams, "IT'S WORKING! HOLY S#!%!!!"
* '''Brolli''': [[Machinima/ProfoundMomentsInLeft4Dead2 THERE'S SO MUCH EVERYTHING!!!]]

* The Human Village in peacetime has music from [[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon]].
* Reisen's medicines can make you [[Music/TheLonelyIsland run faster, jump higher]].
* In reference to Robert [=McKee's=] {{Literature/Story}} in its chapter about multidimensional characters, Aya calls Brolli, "a cluster of shallow traits pasted onto a name," and, "a collection of offputting eccentricities [he mistakes] for personality, [even though he's] as flat as cardboard."
* The backstory of [[spoiler:Vic Chaos]] is a direct parallel to VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine, with an homage to the [[spoiler:white phosphorous]] scene after [[spoiler:Vic orders Mokou to burn down Yuuka's flower garden, only to find she was hiding the village's children from Arturo within]]...
* "[[{{Film/Ghostbusters}} Gensokyo is heading for a disaster of biblical proportions! I'm talking real wrath-of-God type stuff!]]"

* Vic tells Jack the [[spoiler:noose]] is [[Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei a neck-stretcher]].

* In episode 17, one of the guilty souls being judged by [[{{Psychopomp}} Eiki Shiki]] says: [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "Screw taking things seriously, I have green hair!"]]
* Episode 18's battle on Youkai Mountain has few Film/SavingPrivateRyan references, complete with shakey cam footage and a horrendously wounded tengu screaming, "MAMA!!!"
* Brolli and Yukari's final exchange comes from Film/TheMatrixReloaded.
--> '''Brolli''': If I were you, I would hope we never meet again.
--> '''Yukari''': We won't...

** When Tenshi finally corners Brolli, she screams, "[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants DAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA! FINALLY!!! I've been trying to catch you ALL NIGHT!]]"
---> '''Ustreamer''': Tenshi wants some of [[StealthPun Brolli's]] [[DoubleEntendre chocolate]].
** "[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes En Garde! Cafe Ole!]] [[Film/PulpFiction Royale With Cheese]]! And so on!"
** Tenshi [[Film/ThePrincessBride is not left-handed.]] Then she proceeds to [[IAmNotLeftHanded illustrate the trope]].
