2* Before Marinette left for her journey after saying her farewells to her parents, her father encourages her with a familiar CatchPhrase from a certain [[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} cyborg]].
3--> '''Tom:''' Show them all what you're made of! Marinette Dupain-Cheng style! Boo-yah!
4* After Marinette's Ralts was defeated during the tag team battle, Adrien tried to get Litleo to attack with Ember. Unfortunately he was affected by Mylène's Flabébé's [[LoveMakesYouDumb Attract]] and started making kissy faces in the air and is immobilized by love. Adrien only had this to say:
5--> '''Adrien:''' ''({{Facepalm}})'' [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons D'oh]]... Litleo.
6* Alya convinces Marinette to try out the Battle Chateau with her on the grounds that Alya stops pressuring her over [[RunningGag Adrien's phone number]]. This exchange follows:
7--> '''Alya:''' "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Oh, you have the courage]], [[CowardlyLion cowardly Litleo]]. You have courage."\
8'''Marinette:''' "C'mon and have a heart, [[TinMan tin woman]]."
9* In the beginning of Chapter 19, to pass the time while riding on their rented Rhyhorn, Adrien and Nino argue on which video game is the true ender of friendships: VideoGame/MarioParty or VideoGame/MarioKart.
10* The stance that Jalil's Sawk and Marinette's Kirlia took and the exchanging blows between Sawk's Bide and Kirlia's Thunderbolt is reminiscent of [[Manga/DragonBall Kamehameha]].
11* When Alya sees Marinette as Lady Ledian for the first time in Chapter 24, she immediately asks what is her superhero origin, listing off [[ComicBook/SpiderMan bitten by a radioactive Ledian]], [[ComicBook/WonderWoman came from an island of exclusively female warriors]] or [[Film/BatmanBegins traumatized by a swarm of Ledian]] [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} before witnessing the murder of her parents]].
12* After Lila made it clear to Marinette that she will steal Adrien from her, Marinette responded to her threat with this gem:
13--> '''Marinette:''' [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender I love Adrien more than I fear you.]]
14* In Chapter 28, a Pokémon Performer makes her appeal in the Theme Performance with [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse “Scrooge]] [[{{Pun}} McDucklett.”]] Sadly, she didn’t qualify for the Freestyle Performance.
15* While waiting for Marinette in Chapter 29, Adrien is secretly playing VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes on his phone.

17* Plagg calls his beloved [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Moo Moo Farm cheese]] "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings His precious]]" in Chapter 32.
18* In the same chapter Liepard Noir rode his [[spoiler: recently evolved Pyroar]] in an attempt to impress Lady Ledian.
19--> '''Liepard Noir''': [[Film/BatmanReturns I am Liepard Noir!]] [[Film/BatmanReturns Hear me]] ''[[spoiler: [[IncrediblyLamePun Py]]]]''[[Series/GameOfThrones roar!]]
20* [[spoiler: Mr. Pidgeot]] is an obvious shout-out to [[spoiler: Mr. Ramier's]] Akumatized form in the show.
21* Adrien assures Nino that the head injury he got [[spoiler: as Liepard Noir against Mr. Pidgeot in Chapter 33]] is "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail but a]] [[OnlyAFleshWound scratch]]."
22* After Lady Ledian parted ways with Liepard Noir and Alya and [[StealthHiBye slipping away without either of them noticing]], Liepard wonders if she grew up in a [[Franchise/{{Naruto}} ninja village]].
23** In Chapter 35, the [[spoiler: Fennekin]] pulling pranks on Marinette and Alya to garner [[AttentionWhore attention from them]] due to being [[spoiler: dismissed by other Trainers for the more popular Pokémons]] bears resemblance to the same titular ninja.
24* It's a subtle one, but in Chapter 35 when agreeing to help Marinette babysit Manon the next day, Nino says, "[[MemeticMutation I'll do my best]]," alluding to a [[GenderBlenderName character of the same name]] from VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade.
25* In Chapter 37 during Marinette's Gym battle against Nadja, Adrien calls Tikki "[[Webcomic/OnePunchMan One Punch Ledian]]".
26* In the same chapter, Liepard Noir comes to Alya's aid by making a grand entrance with this opening line:
27--> '''Liepard Noir:''' [[VideoGame/StarFox Can't let you do that, Delphox!]][[note]]To be fair, he mistook the [[spoiler: Braixen]] next to her as a Delphox from afar.[[/note]]
28* In Chapter 40 [[spoiler: following Team Akuma's defeat in Lumiose City]], Liepard Noir begins to show off with his [[spoiler: Gallade]] and Meowstic by performing [[Anime/DragonBallZ Ginyu Force-esque]] [[SuperSentaiStance poses]]. He even sings a verse of his own rendition of the Ginyu Tokusentai song.
29--> '''Liepard Noir:''' [[WaxingLyrical Yes, we are~!]] [[GratuitousEnglish Suu-pa fii-ghting~, coo-ool posing,]] [[GratuitousJapanese elite-oh senshi!]] We're the Kalos de-fending [[{{Sentai}} Ledian Special Squah-ah-ah-ahd]]~!
30* During the [[spoiler: battle Tom promised to have with Marinette before she leaves Lumiose City]] in Chapter 43, Tom briefly reminisces about his time as a Pokémon Trainer, remarking about former mechanics used to evolve Feebas into Milotic in the days of Ruby & Sapphire to [[NonSequitur randomly saying how he met Marinette's mother]] upon traveling to Hoenn years after he started out.
31--> '''Tom:''' And that, dear Marinette, is [[Series/HowIMetYourMother how I met your mother]].
32* Chapter 44 makes a few shout-outs to a few horror references due to being HalloweenEpisode-related.
33** Marinette makes a reference to Literature/{{It}} about the abandoned playground on the way to the scary house about how there is a sinister creature hiding in the shadows preying on children. On that note, Alya, when temporarily separated from Marinette [[spoiler: due to chasing after the butler during a black-out]], runs into her horror experience in the form of [[Literature/TheShining Ella and Etta suddenly showing up at the end of a hallway]], chanting that Alya [[Film/It2017 "will float too"]].
34** She makes a reference to WesternAnimation/MonsterHouse upon first sight of the scary house.
35** Marinette makes [[RuleOfThree one more horror reference]] to Film/TheOrphanage when [[spoiler: the lights in the scary house go out and she and Alya are lost inside]].
36* Chapter 45 formally introduces Jagged Stone, who's already a clear ShoutOut to Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}. He offhandedly mentions some of his works being some of the Rolling Stones's songs, but with Pokémon names, such as [[Music/GoatsHeadSoup "Gogoat Head Soup"]] and [[Music/LetItBleed "Gimme Shelgon"]].
37* During the Laverre Gym battle in Chapter 46, Alya remarks with incredulity on how Clefable can "fly". Two Furisode Girls make these comments on the matter.
38--> '''First Furisode Girl:''' No, Clefable can [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack jump good]].\
39'''Second Furisode Girl:''' I thought it was more like [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 "falling with style"]].
40* In amidst the brainwashing of [[spoiler: Lila]] in Chapter 48 to become his next Bond Hybrid, Poison Moth decides to channel a bit of [[Franchise/StarWars Emperor Palpatine]] by convincing her to [[ThePowerOfHate give in to her hate]].
41* A couple of names that Liepard Noir humorously calls Delphox Rouge in Chapter 52 are [[Series/DoctorWho Ms. Delphox]] and [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Rouge the Swoobat]].
42** In the same chapter, Delphox Rouge pulls off the "Rosie the Riveter" pose.
43* During Marinette's romantic ImagineSpot in Chapter 53, she and Adrien [[WaxingLyrical are quoting lyrics]] from the English end credits song of Anime/PokemonIChooseYou, notably sung by Haven Paschall.
44** [[spoiler: Spinda's]] introduction in the same chapter is meant to reference [[spoiler: Spinda's Café]] from [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]].
45* During the {{Flashback}} in Chapter 57, an Infernape under the Bond Phenomenon was described to have sparkling blue flames and effortlessly dodging attacks as though "[[Anime/DragonBallSuper his instincts were on ultra-level]]".
46* In Chapter 58 while lost in thought, Marinette expresses her disdain over [[WhoWantsToLiveForever having eternal life]] as the hero wielding Xerneas's power, not wanting to outlive Adrien and everyone she loves. She shares this quote before Tikki checks up on her.
47--> '''Marinette:''' "[[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 ... No, I don't wish for forever. Even just for one moment, it's enough... if it's with him.]]"
48* In Chapter 60, Kagami's attempted PreMortemOneLiner before defeating [[spoiler: Marinette]] is "You will be slapped down!" Also serves as a meta joke as both Kagami and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Petra]] share Creator/FayeMata as their English VA.
49* During the tag battle in Chapter 61, Kim's Chimchar's use of Swagger against Alya's Electabuzz invokes the memetic confrontation [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Jojo style]].
