3	* Their homeroom teacher Ms. Fukutachi has got a second mouth on the back of her head; she's directly inspired by a ''youkai'' called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futakuchi-onna Futakuchi-onna]].
4	* After moving in with Futakuchi, Aoi is given a Maine Coone kitten as a welcoming gift. She decides to name it [[Anime/DigimonAdventureTri Meicoomon]].

7	* Eri has a nightmare of Bakugo dating [[Literature/KonoSuba Megumin]].
8	* The third Side Story has Eri meeting [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanako-san the ghost of a little girl in a toilet]]. The ''Omake'' of the same chapter has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aka_Manto a cloaked figure offering rolls of colored toilet paper]] appearing in front of Hanako Yumara in the toilet.

10	* On Halloween, [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Izuku and Ochako dress as Tanjiro and Kanao]], [[Manga/MadeInAbyss Aoi as Nanachi]], and Eri as [[Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid Kanna Kamui]].
11	* Hanako, who's got a spider mutation quirk, gets called "Discount Muffet", referencing ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}''.
12	* Next in the series of Eri's anime-related dreams is [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Izuku and Tanjiro crying and hugging as they don't want to fight each other, while Bakugo and Inosuke turn into dinosaurs to duke it out]], referencing a meme.

14	* In Chapter 27, Izuku runs to change TV channel after hearing the opening lyrics of an anime Eri is watching, looking for something more age-appropriate and settling for what seems a cute MagicalGirl anime. The series are ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' respectively.
15	* The elementary school attended by Hanako is called {{Franchise/Drakengard}}.
16	* All For One is revealed to be, in a future one to two centuries from our era, ''still'' upset about the cancellation of ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends 3''. The fact that among so many media from our era that are still remembered, Capcom is apparently forgotten implies he was ''very'' upset.

22	* Chapter 40 introduces Cthylla's father, a hulking mutant who doesn't just look like [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]], ''it's literally his name''.
23	* In ''Rehabilitation'' #3, Toga's middle school friends are all named after female characters from Creator/StudioGhibli movies.
24	* One Quirk seen in ''Deep Dive'' #1, Phantom Limbs, sounds quite similar to the Vectors of ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
25	* After Capcom, All For One destroyed anything [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] to the point that he's forgotten and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] has replaced him as Nintendo's mascot. All of that simply because he disliked the casting of Chris Pratt for [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie the 2023 animated movie]].
26	* Ai's family company is called {{VideoGame/Nier}} Pharmaceuticals.
27	* In ''Deep Dive'' #2, the characters talk about witnessing Ronri [[spoiler:using one of her portals to drop an [[Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion Unit]] on the yakuza compound.]]
