Just For Pun is a disambiguation


* Chapter 82's title is a reference to the song of the same name in ''VideoGame/Persona3''. References to the franchise are littered throughout the chapters. The designs of Dartz's Orichalcos minions are clearly inspired from the various Personas in the series. When remembering Kyosuke, Yukizome remembers the first card her gave her; Izanagi (A clear reference to fans comparing Kyosuke to Yu Narukami). [[spoiler: When it evolves, it's a dead-ringer for Izanagi-no-Okami, Yu's ultimate Persona. And [[JustForPun hell]], Yami and Yukizome summon a monster based on [[VideoGame/Persona5 Joker's]] ultimate Persona; ''Satanael''.]]

** He also later refers to Kaiba as [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ebenezer Scrooge]].
** At one point, it seems like Monokuma is setting up the "[[MamaBear Mommy's very angry]]" line from ''Film/JurassicPark'', but Kaiba puts the kibosh on that before the joke comes to fruition.
** At one point, Monokuma shouts, "Mommy, no!" likely referring to when Raphael said the line in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. However, unlike Raphael, Monokuma was just likely doing this to be a {{Troll}}.

** When Kaiba shouts, "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Hyozanryu, return!]]" Monokuma asks if they suddenly were now playing ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.

** Additionally, starting this chapter, Gundham begins referring to Marik as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening The Fell Dragon]] and even continues with mentions of Falchion.

* In Chapter 51, an 8-bit [[spoiler:Noah]] gets chased around by a Blue-Eyes White Dragon head in a reference to VideoGame/PacMan.
* Chapter 59's title seems to be a ShoutOut to the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' video games.

* The title to chapter 61 references the title of the opening song to [[Anime/Danganronpa3 Despair-side]] [[NightmareFuel/DuelingTriggerFinger and for good reason]].

The designs of Dartz's Orichalcos minions are clearly inspired from the various Personas in the series. When remembering Kyosuke, Yukizome remembers the first card her gave her; Izanagi (A clear reference to fans comparing Kyosuke to Yu Narukami). [[spoiler: When it evolves, it's a dead-ringer for Izanagi-no-Okami, Yu's ultimate Persona. And [[JustForPun hell]], Yami and Yukizome summon a monster based on [[VideoGame/Persona5 Joker's]] ultimate Persona; ''Satanael''.]]
* Junko is quite fond of dropping ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' references. Especially Dio memes.
* In Chapter 94, Hajime's dad reveals that he [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys used to work as a security guard for a pizza restaurant from midnight to 6am where the animatronics were trying to kill him]].
** In the same declaration he mentions that at one point [[WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged he thought he saw the face of god, but it was just the night janitor]].

* In chapter 136, Monaca and Junko are talking while playing Pong with the score going up at crucial moments in their discussion, which brings to mind a very old [[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL sketch]].
