!!As a moments page, all spoilers are unmarked!
* In ''[=DaiFukkatsu=]'', if you unlock the Ura loop, Colonel Longhena asks you, "Are you ready for the storm of tears and sweat?" The "decline" option in the Steam port is [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere "Yeah, how about no?"]]
** The fact that nearly every humanoid boss in said game dies[[NakedPeopleAreFunny moments after undressing,]] due to [[JustifiedTrope taking too much damage.]]
** From the ''Black Label'' port's ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}''-based arrange mode, the Operator informs you when you've almost defeated a boss with the phrase "[[GratuitousEnglish Just a couple more shots]] desu!"
* When you get a GameOver in ''[=DonPachi=]'', the screen asks you "WHY DON'T YOU TRY HARD? ''(sic)''" Yes, even if you just finished the game; apparently, 2-ALL'ing the game with a world-record score and no deaths still isn't "trying hard".
* In ''[=DoDonPachi=]'', the absolutely [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[TheReveal monologue by Longhena]], triggered if the player fulfills the conditions for the second loop.
* The ending of ''[=DoDonPachi=] Maximum'', Dr. Ingram K. Daugh boasts about how EVAC's war machines have defeated countless lone pilots in combat and earned them a "top place in our industry", all to screenshots of ''Ketsui'' and ''[=DoDonPachi=]'' games, which is Tsuneki Ikeda's hilariously thinly-veiled way of bragging about how [[NintendoHard brutal]] CAVE's games are and how they're one of the best developers in the ShootEmUp industry.
* Meta: After 9 years, ''[=SaiDaiOuJou=]'' was finally made available to play in the MAME arcade emulator...but as a ROMHack called ''[=DoDonPachi=] [=SaiDaiOuJou=] [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles & Knuckles]]''. It features Knuckles as the Type-A pilot, a ''T. rex'' for Type-B, Franchise/HelloKitty for Type-C, ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} as the Operator, and [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] as [[TrueFinalBoss Hibachi]]. [[VocalDissonance With all of the game's original voice clips present.]] See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaXxRA9xTj8 here]].
* ''Bee Storm'' opens up with a fight against Kouryu, the container of the infamous [[TrueFinalBoss Hibachi]]...and [[WarmUpBoss it barely lasts before being shot down by the player]].
