1* Tojo wants to know whether Valmet would back him up if they were attacked by [[Film/{{Commando}} Colonel Matrix]] (she'd ditch him -- Koko is the only one she protects). In the English version, it changes to a reference of the Agent enemies in the Matrix franchise.
2* Voshkod 6 and their black tactical uniforms is a reference based on Creator/TomClancy's Literature/RainbowSix series.
3* During a [=VIP=] protection exercise, Tojo lands in the mud and half of his face and body was covered in mud horizontally. This leads to being called [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Two-Face.]]
4* Bookman shares his background with Literature/{{Jack Ryan}}, being an Annapolis graduate who was commissioned into the US Marines, was medically retired after a severe back injury in a helicopter crash, and became a senior CIA officer.
5* Kaspar's bodyguards are named [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe Edgar, Allan and Poe.]]
6* Before he leaves SR, Tojo angrily asks since when they became [[Manga/{{Golgo13}} Golgo 13]], infiltrating nations to conduct assassination jobs.
7* Lehm nicknames one William Nelson as [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Wile E. Coyote]] due to his love of rewiring the enemy's bombs so he can blow them up in their faces, which eventually just becomes Wiley.
8* Koko, Kaspar and Floyd Hekmatyar have the same family name as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hekmatyar Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the (in-)famous Afghan Mujahideen leader]].
9* Wiley takes great delight at his work (that of a slightly MadBomber) and even claimed to "have the spirit of a true artisan", which ''could'' be reference to the villain Deidara, a terrorist bomber from Manga/{{Naruto}}, who regards his terrorist attacks using ''magic'' explosives as art ("art is an explosion!").
10* Jonah is a white-haired ChildSoldier with ambiguous ethnicity. Which is the exact description of [[Characters/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Raiden]].
