Shout Out / A World of Bloody Evolution

Like one of its parent series, A World of Bloody Evolution has plenty of shoutouts.

---

• In chapter 2, Vadiik says "Rage is one hell of an anesthetic."
• Veteran Sergeant Jorvis is a walking shout-out to Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann during his training of the newly founded 111th Woadian Rangers in chapter 4.
  Jorvis : "The first and last words out of filthy mouths will be sir, do you understand?"
  Jorvis : "Out-fucking-standing!"

• The title of Chapter 32 is "How Disguting", with the epigraph being a refrain from a lament: "I wish that I could turn back time."^note the first being the very last line of End of Evangelion, and the later part of the refrain of the song playing while The End of the World as We Know It is happening.
• The entire chapter 41 is one big shout-out to Hotline Miami as a blood-crazed Yang goes through each floor of the cultists' base, massacring them all in horribly violent and gorey ways. The author even recommended to listen to the song M.O.O.N. by Hydrogen (one of Hotline Miami's tracks) while reading the chapter.
• There are also several in the Dramatis Personae posted by the author in the SpaceBattles and SufficientVelocity forum, notably in the tank battalion and their crew:
