* The ''Ribbon Warrior'' spin-off manga had a habit of inserting characters from other popular manga, anime, etc. as spectators of the various tank matches. These include: %% There are a lot of cameos, but since they aren't named, I can only identify the ones I personally recognize or can narrow down somehow - expanding this list with chapters and page numbers would be appreciated.

** ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'':

** Saori = Operation Barbarossa (German Invasion of Russia, 22 June 1941)

** Mako = Operation Fall Weiss (Case White, German Invasion of Poland, 1 September 1939)

** The Rabbit Team performs ''"Operation Mifune"'', which involves shooting down a ferris wheel to make it roll and disrupt their opponent's encirclement. The name refers to the character Toshiro Mifune from the Creator/StevenSpielberg movie ''[[Film/NineteenFortyOne 1941]]'', who also used a similar stunt with a ferris wheel in the movie. Said film in fact was the one Rabbit Team is shown watching during their pre-match preparations.

* The "Kartoshka" cake pops (a popular Russian confectionery with a name that means "potato") served during Pravda and St. Gloriana's SpotOfTea ''might'' be a reference to the FanNickname of ''[[VideoGame/WorldOfTanks WoT]]'' developer Wargaming.Net.[[note]]Wargaming.Net is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Belarus}} Belorussian company]] based in Minsk, and in Slavic countries, Belorussians are even more strongly associated with potatoes than the Irish are in the Anglosphere.[[/note]]

** Subtly Lampshaded in-universe as, while Alice and Naomi yell for someone to apprehend Yukari, Kay immediately [[ActuallyPrettyFunny bursts out in laughter]] upon hearing it.

* Momo's "Shoot, shoot, shoot till you drop" line in episode 5 appears to be a small nod to a somewhat obscure OVA called ''Labyrinth of the Flames'' and a [[https://youtu.be/RMMiauoBOAc?t=25 particularly memorable scene]] involving a tank.
