Here's a list of shout-outs from ''Manga/{{Yaiba}}''.

* One cover depicts Yaiba, dressed as a ninja, referencing the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiraiya Tale of Galant Jiraiya]] (And not ''{{Manga/Naruto}}'' as some people may assume; ''Yaiba'' is several years older).
* Dry Dry/ Supergorilla's costume and powers pay homage to ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'', to the point that he dons a completely different outfit in the anime (the colors are purple and green instead of red, blue, and yellow).
** However, even with his new costume having the [[PaletteSwap color palette]] of ''ComicStrip/ThePhantom'', the anime version of Supergorilla still introduces himself as [[SuperSpeed faster than a speeding bullet]] and [[InASingleBound able to leap tall buildings in a single bound]].
* The whole seven orbs of the Dragon God thing is one to ''Franchise/DragonBall''.
* While trying to open the secret door leading to the Golden Orb, they try out several magical spells. Sayaka says "[[Literature/HarryPotter Alohomora]].
* Goemon Ishikawa looks like a larger and fatter version of his ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon'' version.
* When Goemon introduce himself:
--> '''Goemon''':" Before you stands the World's Greatest Thief..."
--> '''Musashi''':" What!? You're... Manga/CatsEye !!??
--> '''Goemon''':" You Moron!! Do I look like three beautiful girls to you!?"
--> '''Sayaka''':" I got it! You're [[Manga/MagicKaito Kaitou Kid!!!]].
* Also when Goemon looks for the Legendary Orb of Nara, in the Italian manga he bumps into a music band singing the opening theme of '''Anime/DragonBallGT''.
* When Jubei first transform into a werewolf and is asked who he is, he answers:
--> '''Jubei''':"Juubei? Who's this guy? My name is [[Manga/DragonBall Yajirobei!!]]"
* Onimaru hit by the Carbon Freeze looks a lot like [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]]...
* At one point the Spider Man pulls out a small ball that, when wet, turn into 150 costumes for disquise, prompting Musashi to comment:
-->'''Musashi''':"Do you just happen to be a relative of Manga/{{Doraemon}}?
* The first time Yaiba met Gekko.
-->'''Hangetsu:''' [[OhCrap G-G-Gekko!?]]\\
'''Yaiba:''' What? [[Series/MoonlightMask Gekko Kamen??]]
* How Yaiba calls himself after wearing [[spoiler: Sayaka's panties and bikini]] as a mask against some poisonous pollen?
--> '''Yaiba''':" The hero of Justice, [[Franchise/KamenRider Kamen Yaiba]]!!!"
* Gozuma looks like Franchise/{{Terminator}}.
* Princess Kaguya's real form is awfully similar to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3O6knuyZ4o Dragonosaur]], a SeaMonster that showed up in a {{Crossover}} movie featuring characters and HumongousMecha from ''Anime/MazingerZ'', ''Anime/GreatMazinger'', ''Anime/UfoRoboGrendizer'' and ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Robo G]]'' and several ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfEIAKpJP14 games]].
