There’s a notable number of references and callbacks over the course of the story.
- Darren’s first major fight as Verde includes performing Johnny Cage’s signature nut-punch.
- Kamen Rider Glaucus’ finisher is straight out of Kamen Rider Drive.
- Perfect Knight’s fused forms, especially Perfect Kaizer, are a direct shoutout to Wolzard’s fused forms from Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
- Rex’s quest for the holy grail is essentially a tribute to both Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the choice scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
- Far Far Away from Shrek is apparently an actual place in the story.
