4* Chitanda says she doesn't like ''Manga/DeathNote'' because of all the death.
5* All the movies in the media room are space-related. Many are outright named, such as ''Film/Armageddon1998'' and ''Film/SpaceJam.''
6* Christine Junior may have started as a simple toy car, but quickly became a walking reference to ''Literature/{{Christine}}'' with how Ricky and Kurumi read the book and then became scared of the car. It's even red like the real Christine.
7* A number of shoutouts occur in round one to the concurrently running ''Roleplay/Trustfell4TrustFallOrDieHard''. For example, during the first case's MTB, Toby mentions that [[spoiler:just killing Rendain wouldn't fix the problem in his world]]... which his canonmate thought ''would,'' and [[spoiler:just like Toby, camped a room at night to kill an innocent for]].
8* The second motive has some to ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory.''
9* Case 3's investigation has some to the game's mock trial. Not surprising when a large part of the cast was in the mock trial too. Any other investigation of the zero-g room has one as well.
10* There's a running gag in the evidence bullets where comparisons are drawn to victims from ''Roleplay/ItsCurtains'' who died in similar ways. For example, [[spoiler:Margulis and Valjean]] were both stabbed to death.
11* The FairyTaleMotifs around "Beauty and the Beast" come with a lot of references to the [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast 1991 film]]. As well, the [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 2017 film]] came out during the round.
12* When Thomasin finds [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog a blue plush toy resembling Shadow]] in the holodeck, the narration declares that [[MemeticMutation it's not even good enough]] [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 to be his fake]].
13* Yurika overrides [[spoiler:Lightning]]'s theme music with her own at one point. Being that she's from a nineties mecha anime, it's a reference to the famous ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' AscendedGlitch where Elzam's theme music would play over everything else.
14* One of the paintings in deadland depicts carnival prizes pointing (water) guns [[SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou at the viewer]], called "[[Theatre/{{Assassins}} Everybody's Got the Right]]".
15* Many of Max's paintings and graffiti tags reference bands like Music/LinkinPark and Music/{{Evanescence}}.
16* When Max shrugs off the others' attempts to explain [[MagicAIsMagicA different worlds' magic systems]], he calls Margulis a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Fire/Ground-type]] because of his fire powers and nulling electricity.

20* The station shows its own version of ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy''.
21* Bolton responds to a "religious" comment with [[Franchise/StarWars "may the Force be with you."]]

24[[folder:Round 2]]
25* The scene where Mai shows Choromatsu a hideous swimsuit reminded a few people of [[Roleplay/ItsCurtains the arm thing]].
26* Nishitani's title is so ridiculously long, Kip just wrote it on a sticky note and stuck it to the star on his door. [[Roleplay/ItsCurtains Sound familiar?]]
27* Apparently, the catalogue of Music/NinjaSexParty is all canon.
28* The pigeons singing "Under Pressure" references [[http://pigeoncomics.tumblr.com/post/156107930450/pigeon-comic-44-under-pressure-stay-coo-pigeon this comic]]. T
29* In Case 4, [[spoiler:the culprit is a DeadManWalking and drops dead in the courtroom,]] and P.A.L. takes it surprisingly well; when addressed, he asks, "[[Roleplay/DanganRoleplayRoundTwo What, did you expect me to short-circuit?]]"
30* Most of the nicknames the male half of the cast end up with are pulled from [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse superhero]] [[Franchise/TheDCU comics]] with a handful of exceptions.
31* When Clarith offers to officiate weddings some of the other couples in the mansion, Yuuri protests that she doesn't want to get married to someone less than three months after meeting them and in a murdergame no less. The narration immediate notes [[Roleplay/DanganRoleplayRoundTwo "There is a pink-haired model in Kalos feeling incredibly called out right now and she's not sure why."]]
32* [[spoiler:At endgame, the real]] PAL tells Arianna he's not a [[Ride/ExtraTERRORestrialAlienEncounter SIR unit]].
33[[/folder]]
34
35[[folder:Round 3]]
36* The confrontation between Scraggly and Blaze is one big ''Film/ANewHope'' reference.
37* The first investigation asks the characters in narration, "[[Roleplay/Trustfell4TrustFallOrDieHard Are you wearing shoes?]]"
38* When [[spoiler: John's]] body is discovered, the narration and clue list reference the song ''American Pie''.

41[[folder:Round 4]]
42* While giving out bombs, Marisa gives explosive-handling instructions that advise ''not'' being like this kid in a movie she watched who was [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut caught on fire, had his heart replaced with a baked potato, and exploded all over his friends]]. [[spoiler:Her subsequent death was similar.]]
43[[/folder]]

45[[folder:Round 5]]
46* [[spoiler:Scraggly's entire appearance and speech towards Pyrrha]] is one big reference to both WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}} and Franchise/StarWars.
47* When Clarith tells Church how her last girlfriend died and turned into a holy tree, Church replies, [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender "That's rough, buddy."]]
48* During the sixth trial, one piece of evidence is that a transformer is missing, and the Champions decide this is strange. Arianna says there's [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} more to this than meets the eye]].
