** The biker telling Foggy he's got "guts" is an oblique reference to a comics story wherein Foggy tries to infiltrate the Mob to help a client and winds up getting the nickname "Guts" Nelson thanks to Daredevil's covert assistance.

** The massacre of [[TheIrishMob the mobsters]] is undoubtedly based on a Civil War tie-in, wherein the Punisher massacres a bar full of D-List supervillains right when one is announcing that they will return to their old glory.

* TheFaceless: Despite driving the plot and showing up in person to kill Grotto in the hospital, we don't see the Punisher's face until the very end, when he drops the title and shoots Matt in the head.

* BatmanColdOpen: Even more so than the first season's cold open. This time, Daredevil goes after robbers in ski masks unrelated to the overarching plot. The cold open even ends on an epic rendition of the show's theme and Daredevil standing on a building's roof looking at the police arrive to arrest the robbers.

** Wilson Fisk is mentioned several times.

** The biker gang mentioned by the Irish and visited by Foggy (''The Dogs of Hell'') are (the NYC chapter of) the same gang that [[Recap/AgentsofSHIELDS1E15YesMen Lorelei took over]] in ''[[Series/AgentsofSHIELD Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]''. The font branding is identical and the logo is very similar.
