** Chapter 79 has Noah summon a Manticore from his Book by calling [[PokeMon "Manticore: I chose you."]] The very next chapter has him twist his hat backwards before [[spoiler: [[LetsGetDangerous summoning a giant cerberus.]]]], which, strangely, has the heads resembling [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason]], [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy]], and [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: English dub has several, but a few examples are Spirit is [[DNAngel Dark Mousy]] and [[{{FullMetalAlchemist}} Edward Elric]], while Masamune is [[OnePiece Vivi's dad]].

** And [[ChuckHuber Stein]] is [[YuYuHakusho Hiei]] and [[FullmetalAlchemist Shou]] [[FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood Tucker]]. He ''really'' brings out the creepy in Tucker.

** The [[Franchise/{{Friday the 13th}} Jason analogue]] that Maka harvests a corrupt soul from is ''exactly'' the design of the Jason analogue that Hime fights in ''PrincessResurrection''.

** Capone, the first villain encountered by Black☆Star, ends most his sentences with [[GratuitousEnglish "...you know?"]], which is the closest you get for an english translation of [[{{Naruto}} "dattebayo"]]. Possibly unintentional.

*** The second attempt is tiny but at least not as spiky as Soul's imagination seemed to be making them initially. The third, powered-up by soul resonance, is much larger and noticably angel-like, as with Maka's soul.

** Episode 43 of the anime features a sort of ThemeParkVersion expy of Prypiat, complete with the iconic Ferris wheel. However, it swaps the Chernobyl reactors for [[spoiler:a {{MacGuffin}} guarded by a pair of robotic clown... ''things.'']]

** Incidentally, the Book of Eibon comes from ClarkAshtonSmith via HPLovecraft. The curious might be interested to know that, in fact, a purported chapter from the book, written by Mr. Smith, exists...
** Just look at Episode 47, where Black☆Star decides that he's going to face his fears. Now go watch Episode 26 of NeonGenesisEvangelion, where Shinji realises that he's not alone. Now tell me that the blue ripples which change the imaginary world both Black☆Star and Shinji Ikari are trapped in, allowing them to return to life ([[GainaxEnding or something, in the case of NeonGenesisEvangelion]]) are completely unrelated. (The moments I'm talking about are about 11 mins into episode 47 for SoulEater, and the very last scene for NeonGenesisEvangelion.)

** The [[Film/{{Friday the 13th}} Jason analogue]] that Maka harvests a corrupt soul from is ''exactly'' the design of the Jason analogue that Hime fights in ''PrincessResurrection''.

* ShoutOut: Masamune's shadow, as well the one as in Tsubaki's and Masamune's dreamscape, the elongated stick figures seem to be references to the horror short manga ''TheEnigmaOfAmigaraFault'' ([[MemeticMutation Drr... Drr...]]). Also, Soul's mindscape (as well as the imp in it) is a reference to the Red Room from ''TwinPeaks''.

** Ox's over-dramatic ripping out his horn-like hair in order to convince [[spoiler:Kim that he would forsake Shibusen to be with her]] is reminiscent of ''{{Hellboy}}''.

** The kishin is [[{{Baccano}} Graham Spector]]. Especially obvious when he says the word "madness" (Graham liked "maddening").

** The most recent chapter has Maka attempting to ride Soul in his scythe form (with a drastically shortened blade) and they try to [[CardCaptorSakura manifest wings from the back to fly]], though, as Maka complains, the wings are anything but angelic.
