1* Hapshiel seems like a ShoutOut to Music/{{Queen}}.
2** His costume is reminiscent of some weirder costumes Freddy Mercury was wearing.
3** His appearance is accompanied by music very similar to Queen's ''Film/{{Flash Gordon|1980}}'' theme - compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onwev17r-cg Hapshiel's theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfmrHTdXgK4 Flash]]
4* Some hilarious ones to ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' in episode 5, and the ending sequence to that same episode was a shout out to the opening theme of ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVxuE3tXkPA This is truly]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iZpSWya2Kc serious]].
5* The opening of episode 4 has a [[Series/MissionImpossible familiar]] {{leitmotif}} and more realistic {{Art Shift}}.
6* Balthia [[spoiler:is smuggling]] capsule toys that acquire [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} familiar colors]] whenever one is being held.
7* The animation of the transit between worlds pays homage to ''Film/{{Stargate}}''.
8* Tanarotte's first appearance is accompanied, for reasons unknown, by [[Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind Nausicaa]]'s song (complete with golden 'corn').
9* The first appearance of the Plasma Mode is basically a big shout out to the final attack in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''.
10* In episode 4 Sakuma starts striking some [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure very familiar poses]].
11* In Episode 6 during the escape sequence we hear a theme that is just one note different from the theme of the Franchise/IndianaJones series.
12* Then there is the Final Transformer Galactical Elephangar whose TransformationSequence that is just one big reference to ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.
