During the First Half of Episode 5, the Drifting Scene Shouko made with Angela is very similar to the one used by Takumi Fujiwara from Shuichi Shigeno's Manga "Initial D".

During Episode 7, after the prison explodes, the song "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith can be heard. Also the same walk Kanon, Jill and Shouko after they got out from the burning prison derbits is reminiscent to the 1998 American movie "Armageddon".

During the end of Throbbing Fireworks Yay!, the song Show Me by Yukari Morikawa is played in the background.

During the second half of the 16th Episode, after Sapphie's dialogue a timer appears in the bottom right on the screen, referencing the American TV series "24". Also the music when Ruby and her friends were being chased by a boulder is a spoof of the Theme Music of the Movie "Indiana Jones".

During the 25th Episode, The song "A Hard Days Night" by The Beatles is played during the date scene with Garnet and Dian. Also, Irene Cara's song, "Flashdance... What a Feeling" was played during Garnet's dance scene. She even did the same dance as Irene did in the original PV of the song.

In Episode 50, During Labra and Master's battle scene, Labra performed an attack similar to Kenshiro's "Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken" from Hokuto no Ken (Or Fist of the North Star in the States). Even the opening theme "Ai wo Torimodose!!" from the anime is played in the fight scene.
