Line #39 ShoutOut/HeroesNeverDieItsHeroTime


1	"'''Heroes Never Die, It's Hero Time'''" has a boatload of references and nods to various Science Fiction and Superhero media.
2	----
3	* "Chapter 3" has a cameo appearance of Jumba Jookiba from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' and a Yokian from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius''.
4	* "Chapter 5": Dr. Animo rants about the "meddling kids" and "teenage mutant turtle". The former is from ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' and ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''.
5	** The latter is mentioned again by Present Mic who was a big fan of the show.
6	* In "Chapter 8", [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim and Gir]] make an appearance, interacting with Uraraka.
7	* In "Chapter 9", Uraraka's home, Endori is based on Planet Endor from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' and Lothaal Mountain and the wolves are to ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.
8	* In "Chapter 17", two lines are worth noting: Four Arms dialogue of "I can do this all day" references to ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' while Nue's "I want you to hit me" reference to ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.
9	* In "Chapter 23", Four Arms calls out his attack "Four Arms Smash!" like "Hulk Smash!" from ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk''.
10	* In "Chapter 32", Geonosis City is a nod to the planet Geonosis from ''Franchise/StarWars''. To match the bug-theme chapter, Geonosis is a planet ruled by bugs.
11	* "Chapter 33" has Uraraka and Gran Torino go to Dathomir City, named after Dathomir from ''Franchise/StarWars'', fitting the chapter's magic theme as that's where witches known as the Night Sisters live and is the planet Darth Maul originated from.
12	* The second bonus chapter is about Izuku learning to use his hoverboard. Several of his fails are references to [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark's failures to make the Mark 2]]
13	* In chapter 38, Hisashi mentions having to [[Film/ANewHope blow up a moon-sized battle station, and he even got a medal, bringing a new hope to the galaxy]].
14	* In Chapter 39, The Razor Crest appears as Hisashi Midoriya's Ship, as well as Chopper/C1-10P as his Droid. Also Hisashi Mentions winning said spaceship in a game of Sabacc with an Idiot's Array.
15	** Hisashi uses dried mud for camouflage and to suppress his odor from the Vulpimancer which is similar to how Dutch used mud to hide from the Predator in ''Film/{{Predator}}''.
16	* Chapter 47:
17	** Ochaco and [[spoiler:Mina]] bump into [[Series/TheMandalorian Din Djarin and Grogu]] at Baumann's, the former displaying his famous PapaWolf nature when they get [[CutenessProximity too close]] to the [[AdorablyPrecociousChild latter]].
18	** The HighAltitudeInterrogation Izuku (as [=XLR8=]) does to Argit is lifted from one ComicBook/TheFlash performed on a crook in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
19	** The surprisingly-supportive exchange between Ochako and Vulkanus comes from ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' between Anne and the Curator.
20	* Chapter 48:
21	** One of the first stops on Izuku & Hisashi's Roadtrip is [[Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero Naofumi's Tanuki Park]].
22	** The Tanuki park and the following stops are a big shout-out to the road trip montage from ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie''. Hisashi also sings the song "On The Open Road" from the film.
23	** Hisashi's explanation of how the Rustbucket was passed down in his family is the same as [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1 Ping's noodle shop]]
24	* Chapter 49:
25	** One of the places that Hisashi, Izuku, Kraab, & Chopper visit is clearly [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls The Mystery Shack, with Grunkle Stan & Dipper dressed as a wolf, a reference to the episode "Boss Mabel", where that same thing happens]].
26	** The Villain in this Chapter is [[WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts Fun Gus]].
27	* Chapter 50:
28	** While being chased by the Kraken, Tsuyu shouts "[[Creator/JeffGoldblum Must go Faster.]] [[Film/IndependenceDay Must g]][[Film/JurassicPark o Faster.]]"

32	** The controller used to control the car Mei Hatsume "drives" is a [[UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Joy-Con]] and it even experiences [[TakeThat drifting, a problem it still has 200 years after it was released]].
33	* Chapter 59:
34	** The training droids in the Mt. Fuji Plumber Base are the Battle Droids from Star Wars.
35	* Chapter 60:
36	** When Nue asks what percentage of a plan Izuku has to escape the Null Void, he says 12%.
