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 |
46 | Most 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: |

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"]]. |

60 | * Winning the Rave gives you the "Manga/RaveMaster" trophy. |
61 | * Game Defeater Yuri: ''Anime/ArcadeGamerFubuki'' |
62 | * High School Girls on Guitar: ''Manga/KOn'' |

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.

103 | * Retail is effectively ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' crossed with 11BHK's day job at the Hammergirl anime store. |
