22 | !!Other references: |
23 | * The character of Miku is styled after the Music/{{Vocaloid}} of the same name. |
24 | * The first time Semyon hears Lena's name he (being an otaku) mistakenly mishears it as [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry "Rena"]], complete with a menacing image of said character wielding her iconic cleaver. [[spoiler:This doubles as a {{Foreshadowing}} for the Miku route.]] |
25 | * The character of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_the_Elektronic Elektronik]] is named from the main character of a Soviet science fiction miniseries. His cohort [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Vasilievich:_Back_to_the_Future Shurik]]'s name similarly comes from a Soviet science fiction film. |
26 | * Ulyana and Semyon are watching a film heavily implied to be ''Film/TheTerminator'' (while doing "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/reaction-guys-gaijin-4koma Reaction Guys]]" poses.) |
27 | * The achievement for Ulyana's good ending? "[[Manga/AttackOnTitan Attack on Pedobear]]". |
28 | * During the card tournament, the back of each of the cards has a shot of all the characters together, similar in composition to one in ''Manga/LuckyStar''[='=]s opening theme. |
29 | * [[Film/TheGreenElephant Really? One story better than the other. Semyon in your house, Semyon harassing you. Why do you keep lying? That's horrible.]] |

31 | ** Semyon's wall: {{Film/Fantomas}} |
