* Yolei's "Mimi fantasy," in which Mimi suddenly has blue eyes so that she looks more like [[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena Utena]].

* There is a quick blink-and-you-miss-it shout out in episode 15; when [=ShogunGekomon=] sees the dark tower erected, he cries out [[Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro "GeGeGe no Ge!"]]

* ''Diablomon Strikes Back'' has Armageddemon, whose appearance is reminiscent of an [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Angel]]. Furthermore, when Omegamon is severely wounded in the battle, he is left standing up with his arms having fallen off in a pose that echoes Unit 02 after being defeated by Zeruel.

* The Dark Ocean and Dagomon, to the Franchise/CthulhuMythos (the episode was written by Creator/ChiakiKonaka, who actually ''has'' written Cthulhu Mythos stories).

* A cool reference to catch after watching Interstellar: during the final episode, as Malomyotismon covers both worlds in darkness, he boasts, "The dying of the light, and no one to rage against it!" This is a reference to Dylan Thomas's poem, "Do not go gentle into that good night."

* The Drama CD ''Natsu e no Tobira'' refers to a Creator/RobertAHeinlein story called ''Literature/TheDoorIntoSummer'', and derives its own title from the Japanese translation of the novel's.

* Mangadramon is a leonoid version of Falkor from Literature/TheNeverendingStory.

* Ebidramon seems to be a reference to Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s Ebirah, with both being large crustacean-like sea creatures.

* The dub title of ''Revenge of Diaboromon'' is a Franchise/StarWars reference, paralleling ''Diablomon [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Strikes Back]]''. ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith '' had just been released a few months prior.

* When facing a Dark Ring-controlled Ninjamon, Miyako in the Japanese dub nonchalantly compliments him that [[Series/KaiketsuZubat compared to Shurimon, his skill with the shuriken is second-best in the Digital World.]]
