* WordOfGod is that the scene of the Morrigan clinging to the side of a skyscraper was inspired by the scene in ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' where the titular Count climbs down a sheer castle wall "In lizard-like fashion".

* WordOfGod is that the scene of the Morrigan clinging to the side of a skyscraper was inspired by the scene in ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' where the titular Count climbs down a sheer castle wall "In lizard-like fashion". The chapter, probably not coincidentally, was released at the same time as ''Dracula Daily''.

* A few Earthians in chapter 8 speak Belter Creole, from ''Literature/TheExpanse''.
* WordOfGod is that the scene of the Morrigan clinging to the side of a skyscraper was inspired by the scene in ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' where the titular Count climbs down a sheer castle wall "In lizard-like fashion".
* Guel has an apron with a cartoon chicken and the text "Behold, a man!", a reference to a story about Creator/{{Diogenes}} the Cynic.
* This line from chapter 19:
-->[[Film/ThePhantomMenace A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.]]
* Norea is fond of Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, and even uses a quote from one of his short stories as her codephrase with Elan.
* Elan at one point considered using Snorri as an alias, presumably in reference to the Icelandic poet and scribe Creator/SnorriSturluson.
* The people in the stream chat in chapter 21, with the exception of Go-Between-Queen and [=Birdwatcher2=] (Nika and Sabina respectively), are characters from previous ''Gundam'' anime.
* In chapter 29, Elan #4 is trying to learn [[Music/TheEagles "Hotel California"]] on the guitar.
* Also in chapter 29, Elan's chase leads to the destruction of a [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender cabbage cart, much to the owner's dismay]].
* Norea is a fan of Music/{{ABBA}}, and mentions that their music was adapted into [[Film/MammaMia one of the most enduring stage musicals]].
* It's mentioned that a [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam tequilla company once modified a demi-garrison as a mascot, sombrero and all]].
* When they first meet, Norea becomes Yushura's favourite by asking [[Series/DiffrentStrokes "What'cha talkin' about?"]].
* Yaya's mobile suit, the Glaistig, is an absurdly well-armed modified Dilanza Sol with four legs intended to resemble something from ''VideoGame/ArmoredCoreVIFiresOfRubicon''. More directly it's inspired by [[https://twitter.com/konkatsubaron/status/1707660496605004140/photo/1 this]] Lfrith Ur kitbash by @konkatsubaron.
* In chapter 35, Ericht says ominously "[[Literature/TheShining We all float down here]]". [[spoiler:Morrigan]]] doesn't get the reference.
* In the costume party in chapter 36, Miorine and Suletta are dressed as [[VideoGame/EldenRing a white witch and her loyal wolf knight]] respectively.
* During a meeting where everyone are dressed as witches, Miorine thinks [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} "Double double toil and trouble"]].
* The costumes in chapter 38:
** Suletta (in her Hound Knight halloween costume), falls asleep [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} on top of a dog house]].
** Elan and Norea are dressed as Theatre/PunchAndJudy (Elan is, Norea ditched her costume as soon as she could), Felsi as Creator/BruceLee in ''Film/GameOfDeath'', and Chuchu (according to word of god) as [[Film/{{Rocky}} Rocky Balboa]], replacing the American flag with a [[spoiler:Dawn of Fold one]].
* Also in chapter 38, Rajan [[spoiler:killing Delling is done in the same manner as [[Film/{{Gladiator}} Commodus killing Marcus Aurelius]]. Ironically, Rajan had in the same scene lamented that the good emperor Aurelius was followed by the incompetent tyrant Commodus]].
* The meeting between Shaddiq and the Valkyries in chapter 43 is a direct allusion to ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', with a TheWeirdSisters trio telling an ambitious young man that he will become a monarch (as they put it, "emperor of everything"), but won't get the chance to enjoy it.
* In chapter 44, [[spoiler:Elan Lugh]] refers to their library as a [[ComicBook/DoctorStrange Sanctum Sanctorum]].
* In chapter 51, [[spoiler:Elan Lugh]] plays his song-recognition game with Music/AndrewWK's "Party Hard" and Music/JohnnyCash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down".
* In an AllThereInTheManual twitter post, Langlands' AnimalMotifs of a spider is explained by Yushura quoting ''Memes/TheSimpsons'' meme.
-->'''Yushura/Marge:''' I just think they're neat.
