Line #17 ShoutOut/QueenOfAllOni


1	* When Farmer [=MacDonald=] learns about Jade's FaceHeelTurn, he comments that she's "gone all [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]".
2	** In the same chapter, when he learns about the Hana Fuda cards, he makes what might be a reference to ''Anime/YuGiOh''.
3	* At one point, when the Enforcers are entering the mansion headquarters, one of the house ghouls [[Literature/AChristmasCarol appears on the front door's knocker; Finn refers to him as "Marley".]]
4	* When Ratso is trying to figure out how to use his mask's powers, he at one point blurts out "ComicBook/{{Shazam}}!"
5	** In the same chapter, Jade compares taking advice from a mysterious voice (Tarakudo) to ''Series/CharliesAngels".
6	* The DreamSequence in the third Interlude chapter is partially inspired by the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "Nightmares and Daydreams", according to WordOfGod. Also, when his attempts to communicate with Jade via the dream fail, Tarakudo comments that "[[Franchise/StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]] never had this problem".
7	** Speaking of ''Avatar'', Left's use of a pair of broadswords is apparently based on Zuko's weapon.
8	* While breaking into Section 13 during Operation Steel Lightning Jade briefly starts singing parts of [[Manga/OnePiece Bink's Sake]]
9	* Ozeki's obsessive, fanatical loyalty to Jade (including referring to her as "the Royalty") and Jade's unease about it is meant to mirror [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Inferno's relationship with Megatron]]. Though one could argue there's a bit of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Lugnut]] in there as well.
10	** Another ''Transformers'' reference -- during a flashback to Tarakudo's coup, he begins a duel with Hiruzen by stating that "[[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie One shall rise,]] [[Film/Transformers2007 one shall fall.]]"
11	* When he senses [[spoiler: Wong's death]], Verde compliments that it was a "good performance", but then states "[[Film/Batman1989 wait till they get a load o' me.]]"
12	** And for another ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' shout out, during Jade's JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind, when she meets Greed/Desire, she compares her appearance to [[ComicBook/TwoFace Harvey Dent/Two-Face]].
13	* During Lung's first appearance, Verde describes him as looking like "[[ComicStrip/FlashGordon Ming the Merciless']] Goth cousin."
14	** Speaking of Verde, the description given for him sounds an awful lot like [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Dr. Facilier]].
15	*** [[WordOfGod According to the author]], however, this was purely a coincidence. Though he has admitted that his enjoyment of the movie is his reason for expanding on Verde's role in the story.
16	*** [[spoiler:In a later chapter, it is revealed that apparently the events of the film, or at least something similar, actually happened, and that Facilier, merged with his LivingShadow, was made an UnPerson only known by the Shadow Man and sealed away]].
17	* Drago comments "[[Franchise/StarWars Boring conversation anyway]]", when shutting a blast door on Shendu.
18	* Karasu tells Tohru that he [[Series/{{Heroes}} looks different without his scars]].
19	** In another possible ''Heroes'' shout out, the Matriarch has a pet snake named Mohinder.
20	* The scary doctor auditioning to be Jade's new foreman seems [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers awfully]] [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed familiar...]]
21	* Viper dresses as ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} for Halloween, while El Toro wears a ComicBook/SpiderMan mask when Hak Foo steals his.
22	** At a different point in the chapter, El Toro asks Hak Foo and Finn if they are "[[Series/GameOfThrones men or snakes]]" for threatening Paco.
23	* Hero's original plan for building a boat involved catching [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean sea turtles]].
24	* During their fight, Blankman can't resist [[Franchise/{{Zorro}} carving a Z into Jackie's shirt]].
25	* Ratso refers to the electro-swords as [[Franchise/StarWars lightsabers]].
26	* When the J-Team first enters the Vault of Endless Night, a zombie alerts the other evils to their presence by pointing an arm at them and shrieking, much like the aliens in the 70s remake of ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers''.
27	* When Brother Grey is rambling to his captive apprentice, he quotes the opening narration to ''Radio/TheShadow''.
28	* The [[BetterThanABareBulb lampshade joke]] in Chapter 19 is straight out of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.
29	* After learning of Jade's plan to [[spoiler: [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness eliminate]] him and the other minions]], Blankman declares it "[[Film/Transformers2007 So... unwise.]]"
