What makes it more appropriate is that [[spoiler:Jonah and his paramilitary in ''King of the Monsters'' were themselves an AdaptationalMundanity rehash of the Xiliens and other Human Aliens in old Toho movies whom the Exif were themselves an adaptation of]].
** In Chapter 5, Tejada mispronounces Ghidorah's name as "Ghidra" before being corrected, referencing real-life long-standing debate about the correct pronunciation of the name.
** The name of one of Ilene's daughters references the Chen twins' actress, Creator/ZhangZiyi.
** The human crew of a secluded base who are studying a monster begin acting increasingly erratic due to an alien intelligence's mental influence, and [[spoiler:a military team come to investigate]]. [[Film/DestroyAllMonsters Hmmm...]] Of course, true to Ghidorah's {{Adaptational Badass}}ery, it's Ghidorah (or at least its leftover head) causing this.
** "[[Film/{{Mothra}} Mosura ya, Mosura]]..."
** There's a recurring Gag towards ''Film/GodzillaVsBiollante'' as of Chapter 8.
** Tejada makes a reference to one of the abilities of the [[Film/GodzillaFinalWars original Toho Monster X]] which this incarnation doesn't display [[spoiler:until much later in the story]].
** Chapter 8 also makes a reference to characters from ''Film/EbirahHorrorOfTheDeep''.
** Mothra in her larval form at one point has to break up a fight between two HotBlooded and good-aligned Titans using her [[AllWebbedUp silk attack]], just like in ''Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster''.
** Though it's not ruled out in ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters'' that Ghidorah might be a serial PlanetDestroyer like in earlier incarnations (as in, if it won and destroyed the Earth it would've then abandoned the planet and flown into space, to find another inhabited world and repeat the apocalypse there), Ghidorah's MysteriousPast in the film creates enough ambiguity that the film's incarnation could be incapable of interstellar travel and technically stranded on Earth for all anyone knows. [[spoiler:As of Chapter 10 in this fic, that ambiguity is ''explicitly'' put to rest for the fic's continuity]].
** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/10 Chapter 10]] contains a Mythology Gag towards the Dorats in ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'', and towards [[spoiler:the HumanAliens such as the Xiliens in multiple Toho movies]] but [[AbusivePrecursors with a bit of reinvention]].
** No prizes for guessing where [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters1956 the]] [[Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla Gag]] with a certain IntrepidReporter is...
** ''Film/GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack'' also explored the idea of [[spoiler:TheAssimilator as an undead antagonist made up of tortured formerly-human consciousnesses]], although the Many are more EldritchAbomination than ghostly.
** Look closely and you'll catch a hint that [[Characters/{{Godzilla}} King Caesar]] exists or once existed in this story's universe, in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/12/ Chapter 12]].
** Chapter 12 also has a Gag to [[Characters/GodzillaMechagodzilla Mechagodzilla]]'s role in ''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzillaII''. Creepily enough, that chapter was released five months before the January ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' new trailer caused Mechagodzilla theories about the film to skyrocket.
** A couple {{Red Baron}}s in this story that weren't mentioned in Franchise/MonsterVerse canon reference ''Anime/GodzillaThePlanetEater''.
** There are several references to ''Film/{{Atragon}}'' in relation to Manda, in Chapter 13.
** The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise [[Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzillaII is not]] [[WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries a stranger]] to featuring a Ridiculously Cute Baby Kaiju, nor to it being raised by a human (or rather a ''former-human'' in Vivienne's case).
** [[spoiler:[=MaNi=]/Elder Brother]], with both his hybridization origin and his interactions with Monster X, has quite a bit in common with the title villain of ''Film/GodzillaVsSpacegodzilla''.
** In Chapter 17, Monster X at one point tauntingly sings the lyrics of "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Music/BlueOysterCult – yes, ''that'' band.
** The FinalBattle has a dramatic Gag to ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'' – if you've seen the film, then you'll probably recognize the gag.
** How [[spoiler:each of Keizer Ghidorah's three heads]] are taken down before being killed directly references the original incarnation in ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars''.
** Chapter 17 also features a pretty big shout-out by Monster X to Mechagodzilla in ''Godzilla vs. Kong''.
** At one point, there's a special move that references ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah''.
** Chapter 11 features a verbal reference to the author's early [=MonsterVerse=] fanfiction, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13302269/ Hold Me Close, See Me Through]]''.
** There's a notable reference to events which were depicted in another [=MonsterVerse=] fanfiction by the author; ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13326403/ Cocytus]]''. Assuming that a certain specter in ''Cocytus'' was [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane indeed Mundane rather than Magic]], it might take place in the same continuity as ''Abraxas'' -- [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/636684009279291392/ the author herself]] has entertained this.

** [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother's likeness possesses two Mythology Gags in one: he has a certain resemblance to the Showa and Heisei versions of King Ghidorah, and the narrative heavily implies his body assimilated said trait InUniverse from a creature that was featured in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''. [=MaNi=] even uses a similar killing method to said creature in Chapter 17.
** [[spoiler:San's head almost being SwallowedWhole by Ni/Elder Brother and being violently torn back out of Ni's gullet]]. Bring ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' to mind for anyone?
** The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/187320287759/ drew inspiration]] from the ''[[Film/ShinGodzilla Shin]]'' [[Characters/GodzillaTheGodzillas incarnation of Godzilla]] for Monster X, and it comes across. Driving it further home is that she's named each of Monster X's MetamorphosisMonster [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/616668234453794816/ fo]][[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/190131629959/ rms]] after Shin Godzilla's respective forms. Even Vivienne's fate forming half of Monster X seems like a reference to the ''Shin Godzilla'' theories that the disappeared and presumed-dead scientist has actually been fused into the monster.
** Chapter 2 features a reference to a Deleted Scene from the [[Film/Godzilla2014 2014 film]] which was in the {{novelization}}.
