* A purchasable book in the Fortress of Meropide that leads into a sidequest is titled "The Art of Negotiation" and is a parody of [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump The Art of the Deal]]. The book is written in Trump's infamously jumbled prose as well as consisting of various paraphrasing of quotes from the man himself.

** Franchise/FantasticFour

* Diluc is obviously a Franchise/{{Batman}} {{expy}}/reference - He's a very popular and influential businessman in Mondstadt who became an AntiHero after his father got killed because of an accident involving Ursa the Drake (something that's orchestrated by the Fatui). Diluc's character story also reveals that he is the vigilante known as the [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy "Darknight Hero"]] who [[TheCowl keeps the city safe after dark]]. As a bonus reference, Klee--another 5-star Pyro--is officially nicknamed the [[PunnyName "Spark Knight"]].

* Coppelia and Coppelius are a duo of Fontaine Clockwork Meka built for the original purpose of dancing before being repurposed as {{Dance Battler}}s, with the two deriving their names from the titular dancing mechanical doll and her creator from ''Theatre/{{Coppelia}}''. This reference goes even further when you read about the historical Coppelius, who was a playright that wrote the opera "Clockwork Coppelia", which from what is described followed a variant of the original play's plot, and which served as the basis for the robotic duo.

* During Lyney's story quest, he's stalked by goons named [[Film/Scarface1983 "Smoothface"]] [[Creator/AlPacino Paccino]] and "Painter" [[Creator/RobertDeNiro De Niro]]. "Painter" is a reference to the actor's father, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_De_Niro_Sr. the abstract expressionist painter Robert De Niro Sr.]]

* In Fontaine there's an aviator named Antoine Roger. Roger was the last name of French aviator and author [[Creator/AntoineDeSaintExupery Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]] with de Saint-Exupéry being a shortening of his title as comte de Saint-Exupéry. Appropriately, the Traveler themselves is a [[Literature/TheLittlePrince blonde haired spacefaring child.]]

* The Daiya Three Day Reverie quest chain in the Veluriyam Mirage has several.

* The pose that Fischl makes in her portrait is a reference to [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Rintarou Okabe]]. Her [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YPuUdLQdcxQ/maxresdefault.jpg gacha artwork's pose]] is also very similar to the [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8e/96/3e/8e963ea9677a37162d6e1c367e43c550.jpg pose]] of Jonathan Joestar from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. But overall, being voiced by Creator/MaayaUchida, having {{Chuunibyou}} tendencies, and an eyepatch makes Fischl a CastingGag to [[LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions Rikka Takanashi]].

* During the 2.2 "Through the Mists" quest, Sumida mentions she wants to make a novel like "[[LightNovel/KinosJourney Kino's Travels]]" while describing the general plot of the actual novel where a girl named Kino journeys from land to land, getting caught up in the people's stories and tragedies one after another.

** Xingqiu`s skills give him glowing rain swords that look and function just like Vergil`s summoned swords,forming a sheild around him and attacking enemies.

* One of the Abyss Mages' nonsensical chants during battle [[Film/MaryPoppins sounds a lot like "supercalifragilistic"]].

* One of the Abyss Mages' nonsensical chants during battle are shoutouts to two very different media sources: One of the chants [[Film/MaryPoppins sounds a lot like "supercalifragilistic"]].

** One of the chants [[Film/MaryPoppins sounds a lot like "supercalifragilistic"]].
** Another one of its chants is "Ran Ran Ru", a reference to a Japanese [=McDonald's=] advertising campaign where Ronald [=McDonald=] utters this. The campaign became something of a meme among otaku-oriented video sharing websites such as Niconico and Bilibili, especially after the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q16KpquGsIc Ronald McDonald Insanity remix]].
