Shout Out / Lucina Reacts

• Frederick and Cordelia mention wanting to shout out speeches about manliness and punish sinners with hammers respectively. Their respective voice actors in-game play Kamina and Tsubaki.
• Similarly, Lucina is called Maka by Lia. Lucina's VA Laura Bailey voiced Maka, which apparently Lia is aware of.
• Lia's entire name. Lia is named for Lia Nikos from the Diary of Glynda Goodwitch, Snapdragon is lifted from the Mary Sue trope page, and Dark'ness should be pretty obvious.
  • She's also a parody of people's tendencies to make their characters the daughters of Dracos in Leather Pants, as the daughter of Sephiroth.
  • She is also one big walking Shout-Out to the rest of the Fire Emblem series, what with being the descendant of Marth, Alm and Ike, and her last name being Elphin.
• Gerome, apparently, styles himself as 'the Dark Knight' or 'the hero Ylisstol deserves but not the one it needs'.
• Yet another Actor Allusion: In the chapter 'Lucina Reacts to Fire Emblem Awakening'', Todd compares Lucina to an angrier Rise.
• The chapter where everyone plays Fire Emblem: Awakening is full of this:
  • Morgan:"Oh, sweet child of summer."
  • Gregor mentions having played Valkyria Chronicles and alludes to Lucina sounding somewhat like a certain character in it. He also mentions having been lost in Skyrim once.
  • Noire: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"
  • And Morgan's absolutely deadpan response: "Harriers for the cup."
• Henry's pet Risen crow is called 'Edgar'. A double Shout-Out to The Raven and Achievement Hunter- he mentions he found Edgar "in the hole."
• The entire arc around Lucina's birthday is based around the infamous 420 meme and the fact that Lucina's birthday happens to fall on April the 20th.^note 4/20.
  • Todd quotes one of the Hilarious Outtakes Todd Haberkorn did for Sword Art Online- or, at least, tries. He also references his actor's roles from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and Hetalia: Axis Powers.
• Actor Allusion: Lucina sings the Fruits Basket credits theme during the Festival of Naga arc.
