* Hibiki? Kanade? Noise? Mephisto? Maria? Shirabe? [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Why does it sounds so familiar?]]
* Chris's armor the Ichaival refers to a fake weapon invented by ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' which somehow ended up mistaken for a real European weapon on the Japanese Wikipedia.
* Chris's solo special attacks in particular are invariably [[MusicalThemeNaming named after various rock or metal bands]], such as [[Music/IronMaiden BILLION MAIDEN]], Music/{{MEGADETH}} PARTY, and [[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers RED HOT BLAZE]].
* So Chris has MysticalWhiteHair, [[BringMyRedJacket a red color scheme]], [[GunsAkimbo uses lots of guns]] and is ConvenientlyAnOrphan. Where does [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry that]] sound familiar?
* Maybe it's just coincidence, but if you take Toyosatomimi no Miko from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' and wear those hair ears down, she looks a lot like Hibiki.
* Berserk Hibiki has some interesting similarities to [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Asura]], completely with being shrouded in darkness with ominous glowing eyes.
* It seems that Noise have started manifesting [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou outside of Shibuya]].
* Miku's Symphogear form is a pretty much a [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Murokumo unit]], mixing elements of Nu-13 and Lambda 11 (the [[VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders Anubis-like]] head gear and visor) with elements of Mu-12 (having special devices that allow beam spam).
* Speaking of ''[=BlazBlue=]'', Chris happens to have white hair, wears prominently red clothes, [[SirSwearsALot swears up a storm]] and has very [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic past]]. [[Characters/BlazblueRagnaTheBloodedge Sound familiar?]] And in pure coincidence, she temporarily works alongside a man voiced by Creator/TomokazuSugita.

* A [[Main/FreezeFrameBonus newspaper]] headline in episode 1 indicates that Chris was orphaned in, and later rescued from, the war-torn country of Val Verde, a fictitious Latin American country used in several 20th Century Fox movies from the late '80s such as ''Film/{{Commando}}'', ''Film/{{Predator}}'', and ''Film/DieHard2''.
* The story begins when our hero(ine) is [[Film/IronMan impaled by dozens of shards of shrapnel and has to carry them around inside her, close to her heart, while she becomes a superhero with a transforming robot suit.]]
* When Tsubasa bleeds from eyes and mouth in episode while executing her Ultimate Song against Chris, she looks almost like [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Miki Sayaka]] during her [[IAmAMonster "I'm such a fool"]] moment. Jarring, because Tsubasa normally doesn't make ''that'' kind of face, her [[TheStoic emotional spectrum]] considered.
* At one point during the TrainingMontage in episode 4, Genjuro is dressed exactly like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma/Gouki]]. Considering his badassery, it's not exactly inappropriate. Hibiki is also wearing Makoto's clothes.
* Ichaival's weapons in season 1 are mostly visual shout-outs to various Gundams:
** In its first appearance, it packs the quadruple gatling-guns and micromissile pods of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heavyarms Custom.]] This might also be a VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} reference, except that KOS-MOS and T-ELOS don't have built-in micromissiles.
** In episode 10, Chris transforms into the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Dendrobium Orchis.]]
** Chris's Superb Song at the end of the first season combines visual references to no less than ''three'' different Gundams: [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam Double X]], [[Anime/TurnAGundam Turn A]], and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Zero Custom]].
* When talking about the Treasury of Babylon being a {{Hammerspace}} that contains weapons from time immemorial, the first thing that comes to mind is [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh's]]. The ultimate ability of Solomon's Cane, which opens an entrance into the Treasury, is even called Gate of Babylon.

* The TrainingMontage is a full-blown ShoutOut to Film/{{Rocky}}, complete with punching frozen carcasses and the library staircase. Meanwhile, Genjyuro and Hibiki sing "Hero Story", the theme song of the ''Film/PoliceStory'' series.

Understandable, since the director for ''G'' onward was also the director for ''5Ds'' (as well as ''[[Anime/YuGiOh Duel Monsters]]'' and ''[[Anime/YuGiOhArcV ARC-V]]'').
* Tsubasa's line in ''G'' when [[Main/CrisisCatchAndCarry carrying Chris and company away from danger]] - "If you keep talking, you'll bite your tongue" - is a paraphrase of a similar line from ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''.
* Kirika's jump at the end of her ''G'' TransformationSequence looks a lot like of [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Cure Pine's]].
* Ver, he's the [[Film/LastActionHero LASTO AKSHON HIIRO]].
* The Frontier resembles ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'', especially the generator room.
