Shout Out / RWBY: Reckoning

• Darrel's weapons, the Iridescent Basilisks, are a pair of gauntlets that can sprout blades, and function as crossbows. This can bring the Hidden Blades or the omni-weapons to mind.
  • Also, the name sounds very similar to an Aboriginal creational deity known as the Rainbow Snake.
• A Faunus with white lion's ears, who goes by the name of Kimba? Now where have we heard that before?
• Darrel's tormenting of Cardin ends with "Oh, don't be such a baby. Leg bones grow back!"
• A group of unknown voices end their conversations with "May our Founders safeguard us on the path to enlightenment." Sounds familiar? It should.
• Apparently, Yang thinks Earth is a terrible name for a planet, and suggests "Dirt" as an alternative.
• And who could forget this gem?
  [As Darrel hangs onto a log going down a river, he sees the water begin to mist, and hears a loud roar.]
  Darrel: Don't tell me. I'm about to go over a huge waterfall.
  Kimba: Yep.
  Darrel: Sharp rocks at the bottom?
  Kimba: Most likely.
  Darrel: Bring it on.
• The vision that the Fragment of Arcadia grants Darrel at the end of Chapter 26 may remind one of the Precursor's backstory of Assassin's Creed.
• Chapter 31 contains an investigation into Tukson's murder. Funnily enough, the chapter is titled "The Clang".
• Chapter 33 has Darrel panicking over the upcoming dance. The chapter title is lifted straight from Chicken Run.
• Yang's Non Sequitur, *Thud* moment is lifted from JARVIS in Iron Man 3.
  Yang: I seem to do quite well for a stretch, and then at the end of a sentence, I say the wrong cranberry.
