47* ShoutOut:
48** During the Tequila Wolf Arc, when the residents of Tequila Wolf are about to face the Tenryuubito, Molly says, "Let's go out there and raise what's left of the island's flag!" This line is a refrence to the Music/FloggingMolly song "What's Left of the Flag", which has a line that goes "Wipe that golden tear from your mother, dear, and raise what's left of the flag from me."
49** Three out of the four Sarutobi family members on Yuki-Rin's crew. Holden is named after [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Holden Caufield]] and Heathcliffe and Isabella are named after ''Literature/WutheringHeights'' characters.
50** In the omake at the end of chapter fourteen, Roscoe mentions that he could go for some chicken or waffles, which refrences Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in L.A.
51** Chapter thirty's title is "[[spoiler:Exit Shikari]]", a reference to the band Enter Shikari.
52** Aki and Heathcliffe are StarCrossedLovers. [[Literature/WutheringHeights Sounds like another Heathcliff that was in the same situation]].
53** In Chapter Eight, Isabella remarks "That cake looks so good, [[MemeticMutation it's not a lie]]."
54* SiblingTeam: Yuki-Rin and Molly, Hana and Aria, and Heathcliffe, Holden, and Soren.
55* SickeninglySweethearts: Heathcliffe and Aki.
56* SleepCute: Aki and the Sarutobi siblings at the end of chapter 20.
57* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Between the Capricorn Pirates and the Stockholm Syndrome Pirates. The Stockholm Syndromes are on the cynicism side, given their attitude they give off and the fact that all of them are {{Stepford Smiler}}s. The Capricorns, on the other side of the coin, are on the idealistic side, because they're TrueCompanions who are all about having epic adventures and making their dreams come true.
58* StarCrossedLovers: Aki and Heathcliffe started off as star-crossed lovers. Aki was faced with the possibility of an ArrangedMarriage twice in the fanfic by her own aunt and father. While Heathcliffe's parents [[spoiler: kicked him out of their house]], it's implied that Heathcliffe would also be in an ArrangedMarriage if [[spoiler: his parents didn't kick him out of his house]].
59** As of the latest chapter, [[spoiler: Soren and Teru]] are well on their way to becoming this, even though [[spoiler: they're married]].
60* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: The entire point of the Triad Arc.
61* ThoseTwoGuys: Yuno and Teinosuke, Aki's friends from her home island [[spoiler: and two of Yuriko's crew mates a bit later on in the story]].
62* VampireBitesSuck: Aki gets bitten by Kaoru during the fight on the Ghost Ship in chapter 19. Fortunately, she survives the attack and doesn't get turned into a vampire.
63** Daisuke also gets bitten by Kaoru in chapter 24, because he got poisoned and Kaoru was trying to prevent the poison from killing him.
