1 | Aqua Regia is full of references and homages as plain AuthorAppeal due the fact that Fluhor is JustForFun/OneOfUs, here's a list: |
2 | [[foldercontrol]] |
3 | [[folder: Episode names]] |
4 | * Most episodes are named after songs, always rock related, with some exceptions. And to drive the point further they're called [[CallARabbitASmeerp "tracks"]] instead of chapters/episodes: |
5 | ** The first one is "[[Music/JudasPriest Leather Rebel]]", and while it opens with a flashback, subsequently Daniel wakes up with a trippy background, let's say that if Deep Cover played on the background, it wouldn't [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami feel out of place]]. |
6 | ** The second episode is called "[[Music/{{Mastodon}} Blood and Thunder]]", also inmediately follows the previous song due the fact these are the lyrics of it: |
7 | ---> "Hero of the night. [[TitleDrop Blood and thunder]] rushing through me." |
8 | ** The third one is called "The girl in a black dress" which is a song by [[UsefulNotes/SynthWave Synthwave icon, Perturbator]]. |
9 | ** The fourth one is called "[[Music/JudasPriest Hellion]]" and the artwork references the debut album of Music/ThirtySecondsToMars. |
10 | ** The fifth one is called "[[Music/{{INXS}} Suicide Blond]] |
11 | ** The sixth one is called "Unease", but it's not based in any particular song, however it references Music/ThePlasmatics, with a punk rocker being fully nude. |
12 | ** The seventh one is called "[[Music/JudasPriest Out in the cold]]" and the artwork is a reference to Music/LacunaCoil's album "''Karmacode''". |
13 | ** The eight one is called "[[Music/{{Placebo}} Sleeping with ghosts]] and the artwork is drawn in the same [[IncrediblyLamePun spirit]] as the album cover. |
14 | ** The ninth chapter is called "[[Music/CarpenterBrut Le Perv]]" |
15 | ** The tenth one is called "[[Music/AcDc Thunderstruck]]" |
16 | ** The eleventh one is called "[[Music/MyChemicalRomance Demolition Lovers]]" |
17 | [[/folder]] |
18 | [[folder: Anime and Manga]] |
19 | * A {{Cyberpunk}} with a dictatorship in a ClosedCircle? Manga/{{Akira}} influenced a lot of Cyberpunk works, after all... |
20 | * One of the stores Daniel passes by is called VideoGame/LaPucelle, which has mannequins posing a la [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Jojo's]] characters. |
21 | * The [[ToBeContinued chained arrow]] that appears at the end of each episode is a HeavyMetal take on the iconic "To be continued" of the Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure franchise. |
22 | * The [[WordOfGod reasons]] why the characters look and are designed is stated in the [[AllThereInTheManual Bonus Track #1]], for example: |
23 | ** Why does Daniel has a [[RevolversAreJustBetter huge black revolver?]] Well, because of Manga/{{Trigun}}, of course! |
24 | ** Ditto for his X shaped scar,it's explicitly a ShoutOut to Manga/RurouniKenshin |
25 | * Rouge looks like a [[CompositeCharacter fusion]] between [[Anime/KillLaKill Satsuki and Ryuko]] with [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Integra Hellsing]] wit. |
26 | * Anahí's appearance is based on [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Casca]] and [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry2 Lucía]]. |
27 | [[/folder]] |
28 | [[folder: Music]] |
29 | * Daniel's appearance in the flashback, with his spiky blond hair and leather clothing, is based partially in Music/BillyIdol. Fluhor proclaimed himself an unabashed fan. |
30 | ** His more PrettyBoy looks are closer to model, Lucky Blue Smith, on the other hand. |
31 | * Anahí's surname, is a homage to [[Music/TheCranberries Dolores O'Riordan]]. |
32 | ** Her appearance looks an awful lot like a combination between Tina Bell from proto-Grunge band, "Bam Bam", and Fantasy Soul musician, "QUIN". |
33 | * [[Main/{{Tango}} Julio Sosa]], that's all. |
34 | * In one of the bonus comics, they mention PunkRock bands such as "Music/BlackFlag", "The Violators", and of course, Music/JudasPriest, which Anahí {{Lampshades}}: |
35 | ---> "If you're gonna flirt with me, using metal as an excuse [[TerriblePickUpLines it's not the best idea]], say you like Black Flag, The Violators, use punk, at least". |
36 | * Cesar, the cyborg that turns into a monster has an uncanny resemblance to a young [[Music/{{KoRn}} Jonathan Davis]] with the dreads and 90s PermaStubble. |
37 | [[/folder]] |
38 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
39 | * In the old afterwords, Fluhor stated that his main inspirations were ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' and ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' |
40 | * Episode three has a quote based one: |
41 | ---> "[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Kept you waiting]], huh?" |
42 | ** Which is parodied in the Bonus Track, having him cosplayed as Solid Snake, except he's called Yarará [[note]] a yarará is the species of a VERY poisonous snake, which is also translated as rattle-SNAKE.[[/note]] |
43 | * Daniel's katana in the cover have wires and lightning, similar to the High-frequency blades ones from VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance. |
