History CallBack / TheOrderOfTheStick

* From [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0841.html #841]] all the way back to [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0012.html #12]]:

* Seems Belkar and Roy share [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0926.html at least]] [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0234.html one thing]] in common after all...

* V [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1248.html reveals s/he has a Scroll of Passwall]], but anyone paying attention [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1238.html would have known s/he had one prepared.]]

* Double one from the prequel book ''Start of Darkness'', when we see [[spoiler:Redcloak's family visiting the Monster in the Darkness. Redcloak's youngest nephew has a [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0389.html Julio Scoundrél]] toy, and the [=MitD=] has a [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0474.html plush dragon]].]]

* Redcloak's confrontation with Tsukiko in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0830.html #830]] is similar to [[spoiler:Xykon's confrontation with Dorukan in ''Start of Darkness'', with a one character exploiting a seemingly powerful one's weaknesses, giving a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to them, and then killing them ignominiously.]]

* A pretty dark example in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0881.html #881]]: Belkar's pseudo-RousingSpeech to Roy explaining that [[spoiler:the Order needs to continue on despite Durkon's vampirization because if they just turn back now, [[SenselessSacrifice then he would've died for nothing]]]], is very similar to TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Xykon gave Redcloak in ''Start of Darkness'' where the EvilSorcerer invoked the SunkCostFallacy in order to keep Redcloak on his side [[spoiler:after Redcloak was forced to kill his own brother in Xykon's defense]]. Ultimately, both Xykon and Belkar are arguing using the same logic - "Keep on or we did this for nothing" - but for completely dissimilar goals.

* In [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1251.html Bite Sized]], when Razor swallows Serini whole, Belkar recalls "[[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0406.html What is it with you paladin chicks and killing weird old people?!?]]"

* Sunny [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1238.html looks exactly]] like the beholder from [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0032.html #32]]. Parody remains free speech, it seems.

* One of the longest Call Backs in the whole comic: in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0025.html #25]], Elan assumes that since the less armor you wear, the less able enemies are to see you, if you're naked, you must be invisible. Thanks to this, he can first streak through Azure city New Year Party [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0302.html (#302)]] unseen, without causing a scandal. Later in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0665.html #665]], Roy is resurrected and is completely naked -- Elan exclaims, "You're invisible!" Elan calls back to it '''''again''''' in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1190.html #1190]], in which he says that he would have gone ahead with an invisible Haley and V, but it's too cold to be naked.

* "[[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1230.html That's His Bad]]": The strip is a ContinuityCavalcade all its own -- Elan states that he has to recall previous events considering it's before the final battle and they don't have much time to reminisce. He recalls the time when [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0004.html he tried to bluff the ogre and Roy told him he hated him]], [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0127.html the time where he tried to become a wizard and V yelled at him]], and the time where [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0124.html Belkar tried to kill/defeat him for free EXP]]. He then comments about how the previously mentioned Order members were kind of mean to him, to which Roy and Belkar apologize for how they treated Elan in the past. V notes [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0128.html they had apologized]] to Elan in the past.
