2----
3!!General Missions
4* B-Rank: "Count Pokermans": An obvious ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' reference. Succeed, and you get the message "[[GottaCatchEmAll You count them all]] - Phew...so many more than [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the first 150]]..."

7* A-Rank: "Become VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters!": ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', of course.
8* A-Rank: "Capture a Control Point!": ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' reference. When you succeed, "You get an ubercharge and fire your minigun maniacally, yelling 'CRY SOME MORE!'". If you lose, "you charge in recklessly and get mowed down by a sentry gun."

28
29!!Quests
30* "Karate Yes": Replicates the basic training given to Daniel in ''Film/TheKarateKid1984''. Basically, MC Stripeypants ([[Manga/{{Bleach}} Urahara]]) wants you to [[WaxOnWaxOff Wax Off]] and wash his car.
31* "[[ToBeAMaster 2 B A Master]]": Named for the first English-language ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' theme song. The quest text even reads "You want to be the very best...LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS".

33* "St. Flash's Day" and "The Freshest Move I've Ever Seen": Both these quests and their rewards (the Running Man jutsu and the "Floating on Air" theme) are references to the video for "Something Good '08" by Utah Saints.
34** A player kaiju named Ham is also a walking reference to this video.
35
36!!Characters
37* The [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Tatsuki and Chizuru]] lookalikes are named Sporty and Scary, named after two of the Music/SpiceGirls.
38* Venus' ([[Manga/{{Naruto}} Zetsu]]) picture looks like that of a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Piranha Plant]].
39* The Paper ([[Manga/{{Naruto}} Konan]]) looks like and is named for the codename used by Yomiko Readman of ''Anime/ReadOrDie''.
40* When you complete the steps required to get Anonymous ([[Manga/DeathNote L]]) to join your party, he cries "We cannot forgive! We cannot forget!", the motto of the internet [[IAmLegion collective]] (or not) of the same name.
41* Tsukasa is a double-reference. She starts out as the Tsukasa from ''Manga/LuckyStar'' (along with ''Lucky Star''-themed allies Kagamin, Kona-chan and Yuki-chan[[note]]the latter two are Tsukasa's nicknames for Konata and Miyuki, respectively[[/note]]), but after she levels up, she takes on the appearance of a different Tsukasa...the one from ''Anime/DotHackSign''.
42** Speaking of Tsukasa, pairing her up with Yuki-Chan earns you the "[[CharmPoint Moe Points]] bonus", a reference to a speech given to Miyuki by Konata about her [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsiness]] being seen as cute to others.
43* With the release of Perfect Poker (itself a shout-out to ''Manga/GambleFish''), a new set of allies have become available. The first one, Potatoes, is basically Sasha from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''.
44
45!!Jutsus
46Most of the jutsus taught by the characters are named directly after the ones that are used by their ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' counterparts. Of those that aren't:
47* Fletch's ([[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ishida]]) Archer Style jutsus are named after HeavyMetal bands Music/{{Dragonforce}}, Music/{{Kamelot}} and Music/BlindGuardian.
48* Likewise, Shorty's ([[Manga/{{Bleach}} Rukia]]) Kido jutsus are named for Music/{{Slayer}} and Music/IronMaiden, and also one for ''{{WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse}}''.
49* When she gets promoted to level 3, Pinky ([[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sakura]]) is capable of teaching a jutsu called "This Fist of Mine" (a play on Domon Kasshu's "This hand of mine..." battle cry in ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''). [[note]]Amusingly, ''[=BvS=]'' actually has a Domon-like character in "Doughman", and you can learn "This Hand of Mine" from him, but it has a different effect than Pinky's "This Fist..."[[/note]]
50* WesternAnimation/MisterT ([[Manga/{{Bleach}} Aizen]]) has "Lucha Libre: [[Creator/MrT Pity the Fool]]".
51* Scary and Sporty use jutsus called [[Music/DaftPunk "Harder, Better" and "Faster, Stronger"]].
52* At level 3, Lil' Whitey (Neji) learns Whitey Style: [[Music/TheWhiteStripes Seven Nation Army]].
53

59* At the "Billy Idol" event, a group known as [[Website/NicoNicoDouga MikuMiku Douga]] comes on stage to sing for the crowd, and the lead singer - a skinny girl with long green hair - is modeled directly after [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]].
60* Winning the Rave gives you the "Manga/RaveMaster" trophy.
61* Game Defeater Yuri: ''Anime/ArcadeGamerFubuki''
62* High School Girls on Guitar: ''Manga/KOn''
63* Why More than 150: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''
64

91
92!!Zombjas
93* If you and your village are able to survive on a Zombja map for 28 days, or defeat all of the [[NotUsingTheZWord Zettas]] and seal off the gate, you will receive a trophy called "[[Film/TwentyEightDaysLater 28 Dayrolls Later]]".
94* Those who have "Survived the Impossible" get the option to "Be a Hero", giving you a single action protected against the cruelty of the RandomNumberGod for that map. In doing so, you get a message that says "Rule 17 Broken", a nod to ''Film/{{Zombieland}}''[[note]]Columbus' Rule #17: [[NeverBeAHero Don't Be a Hero]][[/note]].
95* For maxing out any of the Z-Skills, you earn the trophy "[[Film/ArmyOfDarkness It's a Trick]]".

102* At the "[[FrothyMugsOfWater Juice]]" Bar, there are a bunch of different drinks named after [=BvS=] characters and elements. One of the listed drinks is Rum, but the input box is disabled, and the flavor text next to it reads: "[[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Where has the rum gone]]?"
103* Retail is effectively ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' crossed with 11BHK's day job at the Hammergirl anime store.
