History ShoutOut / YandereSimulator

%%Please do not add anything regarding the drama going on with YandereDev to this page as it violates Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement.

-->"I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time there's been a show like that."
** The GameWithinAGame adaption is pretty much Touhou with Miyuki.

* It is possible to give Ayano any one of dozens of different hairstyles. Most are original (many are commissions by fans and used with permission) but there are some shout-outs in there, including but not limited to… [[Manga/FutureDiary Yuno Gasai]], [[Manga/DragonBall Super-Saiyan Vegeta]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra]], [[Anime/KillLaKill Ryuko Matoi]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu]], [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Mimi Tachikawa]], [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Shauna]], [[LightNovel/DanganRonpaZero Ryōko Otonashi]], [[Franchise/DanganRonpa Junko Enoshima]], [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]], Manga/SailorMoon, [[Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid Tohru, Kanna, Elma]], and of course, [[VideoGame/{{Hitman}} Agent 47]]. Also, [[VideoGame/{{Osu}} Pippi's]] hair is in the rotation.

** A large witch's hat that may or may not be a reference to [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato's]].
** Striped panties worn on the face much like [[LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}} Blue Snow]].

One of the aspects of '''''Yandere Simulator''''' that endeared it to so many so quickly is its utterly ''insane'' amount of references and shout-outs. So many exist, in fact, that this page needed to be created in order to pare down the Main, YMMV, and Trivia pages. However, there are certain shout-outs unique to specific debug builds or developer videos that might still appear on the Trivia page.

* Musume Ronshaku, as detailed on her Characters Page entry, is a thinly-veiled {{expy}} of Galko-chan from ''Manga/PleaseTellMeGalkoChan'', albeit with a much nastier personality. Her original design (seen only in a promo image from the back) basically ''was'' Galko before Dev asked his artists to change it to be less infringing.

* The idea of making Nemesis from Mission Mode an UncannyValley villian that does an unstoppable slow walk toward her target may be a possible shout-out to the 2015 horror film ''Film/ItFollows''.

** "B" – ''[[Anime/KillLaKill Bancho Mode]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Yan-chan originally gets a black uniform, bandaged arms, a NiceHat, a piece of hay in her mouth, and the music changes to a soundalike of Taku Iwasaki's "Baf-Baf! Sonna ni Moeru no ga… Suki ka" (earlier builds used the real song). Now she gets a hat and a coat and can run fast and punch people.[[/labelnote]]

** As of June 2018, the Photography Club has been implemented and the other members added, and while the names and designs may not necessarily be final, they continue to reference Mystery Inc. Their names are Dafuni Bureiku (Daphne Blake), Beruma Dinkuri (Velma Dinkley), Rojasu Noribiru (Norville Rogers, aka "Shaggy") and finally, ([[IncrediblyLamePun ugh...]]) Sukubi Dubidu.

* The following list is the entire "EasterEgg Menu"… [[YouKeepUsingThatWord which aren't actually Easter Eggs]] since they are so easily accessed (just press "/"). They ''are'', however, all shout-outs to one thing or another. Some have already been mentioned above. Some of these aren't even listed in the actual menu but will work anyway.

** "O" – ''[[WebComic/OnePunchMan Punch Mode]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Yan-chan gains a yellow suit with a white cape and red gloves. She also turns bald and gains the ability to punch people and send them flying. The music changes to a soundalike of "The Hero" (earlier builds used the real song).[[/labelnote]]
** "C" – ''[[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Cirno Mode]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Yan-chan turns into Cirno the ice fairy as her walking animation is replaced with hovering, and her top speed is slightly increased. Pressing the laugh button makes her shoot ice-balls that act as a OneHitKill to any character with a hitbox… yes, even the teachers and Senpai; almost [[AnyoneCanDie everyone can die]] while this is active.[[/labelnote]]

* In the online shop on your computer, school uniforms are sold by [[Anime/KillLaKill"Reevocs Inc"]].

** [[VideoGame/SoniComi Super Sonico's]] headphones.

** Senpai has hairstyles based on those of [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Nagito Komaeda]] and China from ''Manga/HetaliaAxisPowers''.
