* The ''Sinners of the System'' trilogy has several references to ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'':
** ''Case 1'' involves a secret mining operation at a former disaster site digging up radioactive materials.
** ''Case 2's'' climax deals with a plot point involving Kyushu Island, a district called "Dejima," and a nuclear submarine.
** ''Case 3'' has a not-very-subtle reference to the first season finale when [[https://streamable.com/5jy58 Frederica destroys an enemy drone by repeatedly shooting it at point blank range with a bolt-action anti-materiel rifle.]]
