History ShoutOut / BakaToTestToShoukanjuu

* Quite a few references to ''Franchise/MetalGear'':
** There are a few codec scenes, such as [[http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c189/bobtheadventurer/metalgear.png this]].
** In episode 11, after Yuuji and co. declare war on Class D, Akihisa is seen crawling around under a mandarin box towards a couple of Class D kids, with the male one [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the move by rhetorically asking out loud, "[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Snake]]?" Upon being discovered when the box is lifted, Akihisa quietly imitates the alarm signal sound effect before exiting.
** Also a Franchise/MetalGear Shout Out with Iron Man coming out of a box, twice including one where he sneaks up on his target in the box. Also might be a reference that the "vent duct maze is part of the security".
** Furthermore, in episode 7 when Hideyoshi brings out the walkie talkie to call Akihara, the VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 codec menu pops up on frequency 141.14, a joke towards Otacon's frequency being 141.12 and a joke about controller ports"
* Not only do the summons look like the Dwarves from the ''VideoGame/ClassOfHeroes'' series, the full title of this is a shout out to the Japanese name of said series (''Ken to Mahō to Gakuenmono'', "Swords, Sorcery, and Scholars").
* [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei "He's left me in despair!"]]
* In the first episode, Minami's "Rage Explosion" is like ''SamuraiShodown''.
* ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack II'' -- Hideyoshi's TransformationSequence style of summoning his Being is a ShoutOut to Suou's power activation sequence. It also parodies transformation sequences in general: his clothes disappear at the beginning and then pop back in exactly as they were before.
* In episode 2, Kubo summons his beast from his shadow with the same style of ''LightNovel/AsuraCryin''.
* Himeji's battle in Episode 2 parodies ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII FFVII:AC]]''.
* In Episode 2, the entire act of reattaching a broken table leg is a spoof of ''{{Gundam 00}}''.
* Episode 3 has a reference to the death of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Kira Yoshikage]].
* Episode 4 has several references to [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist "going through the gate"]], ending in Yoshii getting pulled through it.
* Episode 5: After Yoshii's Summoned Being is hit by a car, both are left on the ground in a crater in a strikingly similar position as [[DragonBallZ Yamcha]].
* Episode 5: Yoshii uses three "pencil dice" (pencils with multiple choice answers around the edge that he rolls like dice) named Striker Sigma V (unsure of the ShoutOut here), [[ManabiStraight Problem]] [[ToAruMajutsuNoIndex Breaker]], and [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Answer]]. Also, he uses Problem Breaker to ''[[GurrenLagann PIERCE THE HEAVENS!]]''
* Episode 6 has Kouta going down underwater after a massive bleed from seeing Hideyoshi's ...[[AttractiveBentGender bare chest]]. (ItMakesSenseInContext) While sinking in a puddle of red he gives the thumbs up sign from ''{{Franchise/Terminator}} 2: Judgment Day'', combined with [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar the last words of Raoh:]] "My life was one lived without a single regret."
* In Episode 7 we see the same elaborate fake drawer bottom set-up Light used to hide the Manga/DeathNote. Unfortunately, it seems Shouko watched the same show.
* [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Bonta-kun]] shows up as a background silhouette at the amusement park.
* In Episode 8 we learn, that the school Principal seems to get her equipment from [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion N.E.R.V.]]... OhCrap! (Might have to do with the fact that her name is Kaworu...) Also, the Third Impact happens for whatever reason, and the {{eyecatch}} is a send-up of Eva's episode title cards. This whole episode was one big Evangelion ShoutOut. The Principal doing the GendoPose and Smirk. Yoshii yelling father just before the afore mentioned Thid Impact. There's probably more, too.
** Adding onto that, "The avatar is here" and Muttsulini's summon becoming a little cannibalistic like a certain type of mecha are also references to EVA.
* Apparently, Kouta has a [[Anime/CodeGeass Geass]] and Himeji has a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed SEED Mode]]. Seemingly, Kouta and Akihisa ALSO have a SEED mode, not just Himeji. At least according to episodes 5 and 6. The "[[SuperMode SEED Burst]]" is seen quite a few times through the series.
** Episode 8 also spoofs Impulse vs Freedom showdown from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Seed Destiny]]'', with Yoshii's summon as Impulse, and a clone of Mizuki's summon as a combination of Freedom and Strike Freedom.
* Akihisa doing the ''KamenRiderBlack'' transformation pose to summon at the start of the episode definitely counts.
* Himeji's and Minami's [[spoiler: Adult avatars]] take on the appearance of [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan and Lilith]], respectively.
* VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'s wooden horse makes an appearance.
* The communicator Yoshii wears on his right hand is a [[Film/TheWizard Power Glove.]]
* Yuuji's and Kouta's rampaging Summoned Beings that Akihisa fights in the vent ducts use moves reminiscent of classic SuperRobot anime series and {{Naruto}}.
* When Himeji offers to help Akihisa study for the make-up exam, in his ImagineSpot she's wearing [[Anime/PleaseTeacher Mizuho-sensei's]] clothes. The voice actress even changes her tone to resemble that of KikukoInoue's when playing the character.
* The entire vent duct sequence is a machine gun of ShoutOut gags. [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] underground level, anyone? Complete with Super Mushroom and green piping.
* Hideyoshi is an obvious reference to [[ToyotomiHideyoshi Hideyoshi Toyotomi]]. His avatar has the traditional naginata/outfit combination, and he talks like an 80 year old, although this is probably lost on non-Japanese speakers since it's hard to properly convey in translation.
* Also, his last name is taken from Hideyoshi Toyotomi's old name, Tokichiro Kinoshita, back from when he was a servant of the Imagawa Clan.
* The battles themselves have a Shout Out to ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'': the cut-ins look exactly like those in VC, down to the animation.
* In the Opening, the teacher Tetsujin/Ironman strikes a pose similar to Akuma from StreetFighter after a Shun Goku Satsu; complete with a kanji symbol on his back.
* During one of the subsequent battles, Minami fights against 3 of Class D's boys and has a SuperMovePortraitAttack in the style of the StreetFighterAlpha3 / VideoGame/StreetFighterIV art and battle quote poses before pulling off a special tech that completely smashes her opponents.
* Those cult members in class F suspiciously look like members of the Ku Klux Klan.
* Second season episode 10 the way Kouta assassinates class B's messenger is like one of {{Tenchu}}'s Ayame's move.
* In the 12th episode of the second season, [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Kouta calls a]] NoseBleed [[OnlyAFleshWound "just a flesh wound".]]
* One scene shows a random featurless "Class-F faced" student lounging around, who's generic "features" make him resemble Niijima from HistorysStrongestDiscipleKenichi.
* No wonder they made Yuuji sign the warrant before entering the haunted house in episode 7, they got [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL watching over it.]]
* The second ending for the first season seems to be one long shout-out to the first opening to the Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
* The swimming race between the guys for the 1st place to avoid eating Himeji's cooking is how the Gundam Fight does in ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''.
* In episode 11, there's a moment where a certain student in class B has a very, very close resemblance to a certain Hatsune Miku...[[http://img.ctrlv.in/img/51cd830f1e44b.png from behind]].
