* Hiei's name means "Swift Shadow", hich pretty much describes the character. The character "Hi" is also phonetically similar to "Ho" which means fire. So if you didn't know the first kanji, you might think it means "Burning Shadow", which is [[PunnyName another pun]].
** "Hiei" is also the name of a mountain that is the home of demons (the same Mt. Hiei where [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Shishio's]] [[EvilLair stronghold]] is located). Traditionally, women were not allowed on this mountain, for fear that demons might abduct them (pretty much sums up Hiei's first meeting with Keiko).

* As for the name, "Yusuke Urameshi", the first name "Yusuke" possibly means "Ghastly Assistant", which is a reference to his helpful actions while dead. His last name, "Urameshi", is something chanted by the dead (phonetically speaking, anyway). When you combine the first character for "Yusuke" ("Yu" meaning "Faint" or "Ghost-like") with the first character for "Rei-Gan" ("Rei" meaning "Soul" or "Spirit"), you get the word "Yurei", the closest thing Shintoism has to the western idea of normal ghosts or spirits who can't move on.

* In Episode 21, there's a glimpse of a poster of Music/OingoBoingo's "Good For Your Soul" album on the wall in Kuwabara's room. No name changes either, as with "Megallica;" the album's cover is mimicked in full, complete with artist and name.

* There are three shout outs to ''Franchise/SailorMoon.''[[note]]Creator/YoshihiroTogashi is the husband of Sailor Moon creator Creator/NaokoTakeuchi.[[/note]]
** In a manga-exclusive story, Kurama throws a rose in front of two rival gangs a la Tuxedo Mask. (He actually tells them "Just call me Tuxedo Mask.." while throwing it in the Viz dub.)
** Juri's transformation sequence when she recovers from the Idunn Box is based off of Sailor Moon's transformation sequence.
** Koenma's disguise in the Demon World Tournament is him wearing the Tuxedo Mask garb.
* Younger Toguro echoes Onimaru from ''Manga/PeacockKing'', another manga about young fighters battling demons. Like Onimaru, Toguro is a musclebound, foreign-looking man with perpetual sunglasses that is both a human and a demon at once and who has a WorthyOpponent relationship with the main character.
* During the Dark Tournament, there was a shout out to Franchise/SuperSentai of all things (it's one of the teams ruthlessly offed by the Toguro team; they even use the ''Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger'' codenames).
* One of the biggest is how Yusuke dies in the beginning. He saves a child who ran out into the street with a soccer ball, only to later be told that the soccer ball would have cushioned the child, saving the boy's life without leaving a scratch on him. This is a situation that would have, without Yusuke's unfortunate intervention, been exactly the same as what happened to Tsubasa in ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa''.
* Not to mention when Kuwabara goes to the 'Megallica' concert in episode 75.
* When Yusuke and Kuwabara are arguing after their first arrival at Genkai's house, several ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' characters can be seen, including Dhalsim, E. Honda, Zangief (with a scar on his chest instead of all the hair), and middle-aged Ryu.
* There is a momentary shout out to ''Literature/TheStarsMyDestination'' during the Dark Tournament when an audience member is shown with the N♂MAD tattoo.
