5 | * James's very name is full of references, in the Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn version. |
6 | --> [[{{Main/TheProdigyFandom}} James]] [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Cipher]] [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine Drew]] [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Dimentio]] [[{{Main/TheProdigyFandom}} Prodigy]]. |
7 | ---> Interestingly, aside from [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile]], all of these have to do with supernatural books in some way or another. |
8 | ----> [[{{Main/TheProdigyFandom}} James Prodigy]] is the main parts of his name. He also just so happens to be the owner of the '''Book of Iwata'''. |
9 | ----> [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] is the muse of Stanford Pines, who '''wrote the three supernatural Journals of his series.''' |
10 | ----> [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine Joey Drew]] is the author of '''Illusion of Living, a book of bringing cartoons to life.''' |
11 | ----> Theories float about that [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Dimentio]] is the author of the '''Dark Prognosticus, a book capable of summoning a world ending void.''' |
12 | * The Book of Iwata is a reference to SatoruIwata. |
13 | * According to [[{{WordOfGod}} the official timeline]], James was gone for two weeks and returned in [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine ink]] and white dust. |

17 | |
18 | * ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Lots of Undertale. |
19 | ** Outright {{Lampshaded}} in Behind The Scenes (Chapter 8), where Flowey, and DETERMINATION are both stated, followed by... |
20 | -->''All Undertale jokes aside, I'm determined to finish this chapter. Okay, okay, I'll really stop.'' |
21 | *** He doesn't stop. Later down the line in the same chapter, it is stated he is humming ''Gaster's Theme'' |
22 | ** In the tour of Smash Mansion, he gets distracted, thinking about TV shows that seem to closely resemble Mettaton's - quiz show, cooking class, news reports, musicals, and a grand finale he hasn't seen yet. |
23 | *** More subtle, but his left eye shining brighter than his right when he gets pissed seems to match [[spoiler:Sans]]. |
24 | ** In ''The Pie Is A Lie'', James and Reflet make a butterscotch-cinnamon pie. |
25 | |
26 | * ''Literature/The39Clues'', of all series. This is very subtle, but a quote from [[spoiler:Day of Doom]] appears, altered a tiny bit. |
27 | --> It will all begin. And end. Spectacularly. '''-[[spoiler:Damien Vesper in ''Day of Doom'']].''' |
28 | --> And in a few seconds, it would all begin. [...] And end. [...] Spectacularly. '''-The version used in Uncommon Sense.''' |
29 | |
30 | * ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''. The chapter name for one of the chapters is titled ''The Pie Is A Lie'', a blatant nod to Portal's (in)famous ''the cake is a lie''. |
31 | |
32 | * ''Literature/TheTaleOfTwoCities''. Yes. The chapter ''A Tale Of Two Tacticians'' begins with an excerpt of the first paragraph, parodied to be Smash Bros. styled, followed by being {{Lampshaded}}. |
33 | --> ''Okay, okay. Enough Tale Of Two Cities paraphrasing, let's get on with it.'' '''-after the parodied paragraph. |
34 | |
35 | * ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''. Master Hand states that James reminds him of Ash Upton, from this series. |
36 | |
37 | * There is also a reference to ''Literature/SnowWhite''. The little rhymes in the summary, cipher, and story content of chapter 14, Murder Murder, seem slightly based off SnowWhite's 'mirror, mirror' rhyme. |
38 | -->''Mirror, mirror, on the wall.'''''-Snow White version''' |
39 | -->''Murder, murder, on the wall.'''''-Uncommon Sense, chapter 14''' |
40 | |
41 | * A second LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} reference in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo says the phrase ''To come wel Soonmide'', the title of Chuggaaconroy's Moonside episode. |
42 | |

46 | |
47 | * James' description of barriers like the one keeping Giratina in makes it sound like [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}}a very similar barrier is locking monsterkind underground.]] |
48 | * ''Erujiku And The Rising Spell'' is full of shout outs. |
49 | ** VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine reference. A few, actually. |
50 | *** The page on summoning demons is page 210, which matches the release date of ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' Chapter One's release date. |
51 | *** It was also 2 days, 17 hours, and 17 minutes before Erujiku snapped, a second reference to the release date (2/10/17) |
52 | *** James mutters something about Bendy and ink, although it was misheard by others. |
53 | ----> ''The ground bubbled in a manner similar to ink bubbling. James muttered something about bending ink,'' |
54 | *** Finally, it is hinted that James believes Erujiku holds Bendy's spirit, due to certain quotes and scenes from the demon and James. |
55 | ----> ''Erujiku suddenly raised his hand, and Giratina was suddenly trapped as black chains of ink and magic formed,'' |
56 | ----> ''Or he wasn't drawing inky lines on Giratina like a coroner.'' |
57 | ----> ''"HENRY COULD DO THAT. JOEY TOO. NOT THE KNIFE, BUT... RED. RED SOMETHING." The demon said.'' |
58 | ----> ''Erujiku fell to the ground, melting into ink. "Ciao, Bendy." James said,'' |
59 | -----> This final quote could be James just guessing, but it isn't likely. |
60 | ** Erujiku also holds a reference to Sebastian from ''Manga/BlackButler'', being remarkably similar in appearance. This is {{Lampshaded}} by James thinking the demon's name is Sebestian - not Erujiku, like it turns out to be. |
61 | * The mentioned pages that Diancie reads with very little description in ''Studying'' are summed in two to four words. This one line has five references. |
62 | ----> Pages on [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine ink demons]], [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} determined flowers]], [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 a devil's machine]], [[VideoGame/Portal2 a computer called GLaDOS]], [[{{VideoGame/Skyrim}} dragon born]], and more pages. |
63 | ** These same pages are called back in Came Back Fast And Furious. |
64 | * The sixth chapter is called... [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Came Back Fast And Furious]]. |
