* [[spoiler:Upon learning that Hikara has been swapped for Paintra (who was killed by Kirby during the events of ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'') by Drawcia's ritual of revival, Flora suggests that Artemis and Luke should search their own Hell for Hikara[[note]]since she's not supposed to be dead, and technically ''isn't'' dead despite being in an afterlife due to how the ritual of revival works[[/note]]. Artemis takes umbrage at the idea of Flora giving Luke orders, leading Flora to clarify that [[Anime/CodeGeass she's giving a request]][[note]]with essentially the same wording that Lelouch used in the climactic confrontation with Charles and Marianne in ''Anime/CodeGeass''[[/note]].]]

** Ne chimes in with "[[Webcomic/HiImDaisy Chill I'm not actually dead]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 (he's immortal!)]]".

** During the same fight scene, Pommy also borrows a line from [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Johnny]]:

'''Luigifan:''' Yes, you could call it a ''[[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries sonic]]'' [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries rush]]- *bricked by Garcia* '''Ow!'''\\

* Artemis says that the dream world has also been called [[VideoGame/EarthBound Magicant]] and [[VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice Wonderland]].

** Kazu makes an obscure song reference, one to Music/{{Rush}}; quoting their song The Twilight Zone, mentioning the key part (for those who don't know the lyrics; Use the key / unlock the door / see what your fate might have in store). [[note]]Kazu was at one point slated to do the entire thing at one point, were it not for how weird the song is (it in itself a reference to the the TV series ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'').[[/note]]

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/306613088/2590760426 Bowser Jr.'s scheme]] to barricade the exits of the church and burn it down with Lindsay trapped inside is explicitly mentioned to have been inspired by ''Film/ThePatriot'', where Travington does the same thing [[KickTheDog with considerably more success]].

* Blake [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/416122897/3412726261 attempts to use]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Knights of the Round]]… [[EpicFail key word being "attempts".]]
** This also leads to Noah mentioning the events of ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Black Knight]]''.

* Sonic wields [[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Caliburn]] to take Vaati on, and Flora openly wonders if he's abducted Amy Rose. This is an InJoke to a Flash animation that Luigifan has been trying to get someone to make for ''years''.

* Matt claims that there was a ''one billionth percent chance'' that Moge-ko could have given him a heart attack, and therefore, [[LightNovel/{{Durarara}} whatever he does next is justified self defense]].

** [[spoiler:On a related note, Tails and Sonic briefly tease Blaze about having taken Barry's[[note]]the PlayerCharacter of ''VideoGame/TheMurderOfSonicTheHedgehog''[[/note]] fake marriage ploy [[TheComicallySerious a bit too seriously]], with particular emphasis on [[Funny/TheMurderOfSonicTheHedgehog how flustered Barry got when Blaze questioned him about his ancestors committing war crimes]]. While Blaze is ''clearly'' uncomfortable with discussing her faux pas (especially in front of Silver and Alex), Sunlight and Torch immediately defend Blaze by pointing out that war crimes are SeriousBusiness. [[TheComicallySerious Like mother, like kids…]]]]

* When the animatronics reveal that they can actually talk, they directly discuss some actual plot elements from the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' games, including [[spoiler:the Purple Man having previously dismantled the animatronics before getting killed as a result of the ghosts of the children he murdered herding him into Springtrap.]]

* After alluding to her DeathSeeker status in front of Rosa, Momoko mutters [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/577188445/4209906791 "I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that."]], much like Hagrid in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheSorcerorsStone''.

* [[spoiler:Arle Kane is a walking ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' shout-out, even going so far as to utter "D-Diacute!" while combining two of her concoctions late in the roleplay.]]

* Momoko's [[TookALevelInBadass newfound control over her powers]] thanks to Rosa's training gives her [[LovecraftianSuperpower very similar abilities]] to [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} Alex Mercer]], [[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} the Plasm Wraith]], or [[Anime/DragonBallZ]], which the characters explicitly point out.

* [[spoiler:While reassuring Annie and Mickey that he won't kill himself or Torch by using his Guzzlord to save Princess Torch, Matthew declares that "All I need to do now is [[VideoGame/MarvelPuzzleQuest see the math of it]] and execute my plan… and then Blake's attempt on Torch's life is toast!"]]

* Rebecca's hair is based off of [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Junko Enoshima's]] MegaTwintails. Her icon on social sites is one of [[spoiler:fake!]]Junko's character portraits.

** Luigifan nicknamed his Xerneas and Yveltal [[Myth/NorseMythology Yggdrasil]] and [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Soma Cruz]], respectively.

* Persephone's WeaponOfChoice during her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Lily? Why, [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} a whip]], of course!

** Many of his spell cards are either lifted wholesale from or inspired by [[Characters/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight Reisen Udongein Inaba and Eirin Yagokoro]]. (Note that he actually does this as a gesture of ''respect'' to them; Mysta claims that Eirin was his tutor. This claim is only barely disputed, with the only points of contention being how seriously Eirin takes Mysta and to what extent she accepts his [[PoisonousFriend "support"]].)

* Arthur Calibur wields Soul Calibur from the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. [[labelnote:For those among you wondering how this is possible...]]The White Dark Life roleplays (and Furry Fiasco, for that matter) are stated to take place long after the end of the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. [=SoulCalibur=] has recently woken up upon sensing the return of Soul Edge, having went into a deep slumber to spare the world from its KnightTemplar tendencies after finally destroying its EvilCounterpart. As for Soul Edge, having been destroyed a long time ago, it has reincarnated in the form of Fläsräpper, a demonic axe that has very similar abilities to its former self. Thankfully, Fläsräpper's wielder is firmly on the side of good, and due to Fläsräpper having been transformed into Soul Edge's reincarnation by being drenched in her blood, it's symbiotically bound to her and tied to her will, suppressing its evil nature.[[/labelnote]]

** Luther is named after Creator/DonKnotts' character in ''Film/TheGhostAndMrChicken'' (''not'' Comicbook/LexLuthor, [[BeamMeUpScotty as many people seem to assume]]).

** Most of the Dawns are named after ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' characters. [[labelnote:Exceptions]]The main exceptions are Lindsay (who was named after one of Tropers/{{Luigifan}}'s childhood friends), roughly half of Linus's children (who are named after Luigifan's cousins), Carnation (who follows the Natchrallis' floral ThemeNaming), and Harry (who was named after Franchise/HarryPotter).[[/labelnote]] The Dawn surname itself was chosen because it roughly rhymes with "Bond", as in Film/JamesBond.

* Mysta's main gimmick may be [[{{Lunacy}} an obsession with the moon]], but his secondary gimmick is clearly his usage of [[Franchise/TouhouProject Spell Cards]] in general, and using the Spell Card system from Fanfic/AverageJoeInBulletHell in particular.
