* MythologyGag: Several to Fritz Lang's ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'':
** Metropolis being [[LayeredMetropolis divided in subterranean levels]] with impoverished people living underground is similar to the relegated working class from Lang's movie. In both films the poor are inspired to riot against the rulers of Metropolis, and both revolutions have disastrous results.

** Tima awakening during the destruction of Laughton's lab is a HomageShot to Robot-Maria opening her eyes after being given Maria's likeness.
** In both works the TowerOfBabel is brought up; Atlas compares it to the Ziggurat and in the original movie Fredersen's EvilTowerOfOminousness (which the Ziggurat is clearly inspired by) is also referred to as the "New Tower of Babel".
** Both films see the city of Metropolis undergoing a great destruction, in the original by a great flood caused by the rebellious workers, in the anime [[spoiler: the Ziggurat crumbling down causes a lot of property damage in the surrounding area, forcing many to flee in the ending]].
