History WesternAnimation / Ballmastrz9009

** One episode focuses on Gaz's self-consciousness about her beer gut. By episodes end, she still has it. When she finally loses it, it's over the course of season 2.
** In the episode where Gaz gets the Blab, everyone thinks she is pregnant at first. Leto points out that with Gaz's substance abuse, the (nonexistent) baby could be harmed terribly. There is also the fact that the disease she caught is curable, but hard to do so.
* One episode has Dee Dee mention she had student loan debt to pay off in the past.

** The "sauna" in episode 5 looks like [[Film/TheFly Seth Brundle]]'s matter transport pod.

* OverlyLongTitle: All of the episode titles greatly exaggerate how typical anime episodes tend to be rather wordy. For example, the season 2 episode "Don't Let a Big Head Give You the Championship Blues! You Can Do It, Leptons! Try Your Best to Win!!"

** ''WesternAnimation/BallmastrzRubicon'' is animated entirely in an {{Animesque}} art style (by a Japanese studio nonetheless!) with intentionally cheap limited animation.

* WhosDriving: When the Leptons converge to discuss Ace embarrassing them with his victory dance, an unknown voice suddenly calls Ace a superstar. Which leads to two questions:

** The Game, though it's far more downplayed than most examples. Whenever players are
killed or severely injured, they're teleported off the field into healing chambers, where they are then quickly healed with absolutely no side-effects. Despite The Game being brutal and bloody, it's yet to be seen if players can permanently die playing it.

** Flypp Champion's [[OriginStory flashback]] in episode 9 is heavily based off of ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', right down to the art style.

** Ball [=MastrZ=] Rubicon is animated entirely in an {{Animesque}} art style with intentionally cheaply limited animation.

* FakeSpecialAttack: Flypp Champion's ''Umbilicus'', some kind of HardLight beam that spreads from where his navel should be. It takes a long time to get charged, and he always tells the viewers about the training he endured to develop it in the meantime... However, it's always shown to backfire or to be totally useless. At least until the last episode, where he and Leto finally find an use for it.

* LimitedAnimation: Ball [=MastrZ=] Rubicon ditches the series' regular artstyle for an {{animesque}} art style with intentionally limited animation that mimics low production values of cheap 70s and 80s anime.

* MuggingTheMonster: Ace, Babyball, and Gaz all visit her Ex to recover all of her rookie holocards. They soon discover that her ex is famous mobster Jojo Krako. Babyball starts freaking out and begging for forgiveness, but as soon as he learns that Gaz is with them, he immediately caves in. He kept the holocards safe just in case she ever came back for them, because she was super crazy and ''he's the one with the restraining order on her.'' He begs them to take the cards and leave.

** After getting addicted to eating BEHO, Ace grows out of control into a giant blob monster in the exact same manner as Tetsuo from ''Anime/{{Akira}}''.
** Flypp Champion's ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''-inspired backstory in episode 9 features a girl similar to Lynn being saved by him from bandits. Said bandits also died from their heads exploding after a delayed reaction.
** The "sauna" in episode 5 looks like [[Film/TheFly Seth Brundle]]'s matter transport pod.

** The superfan from "When You Wish Upon A Spore" has the same aged child appearance as the psychic esper children from ''Manga/{{Akira}}''.

** In "When You Wish Upon A Spore", the way Flypp is transported into another dimension for sensitivity training resembles the opening of ''Series/DoctorWho'', specifically that of the Fifth Doctor.

** In "Chaste Wing of the Cold Turkey vs Flaming Fist of Indulgence", part of the training montage shows Flypp and Gaz fighting robots similar to the "fighters" training robot that Paul Atredies fights against in ''Film/Dune1984''.
