Episode 11. At the start of the battle when Yoshii is sent to scout the battle field, he infiltrates the enemy lines covered with a cardboard box, and the D class members call him "Snake?". Reference to Metal gear solid saga Solid Snake who has always been provided with a cardboard box as his basic and not so effective infiltration tool.

Episode 11. When Yoshii returns from challenging B Class he's dressed like, and has the stars on his belly that parody those from "Fist from the north star"

Kinoshita Hideyoshi most probably got his name from HIDEYOSHI Toyotomi with his old name Toukichirou KINOSHITA, who was a daimyo in the Sengoku period.

In Chapter 9, you can see Himeji in an attitude similar to that of the first arc of "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni", which are transformed in the eyes of Rena and Mion

In one of the movie posters in episode 3 (the one that looks like Apocalypse Now), the names of the characters are listed as the "cast" of that movie. The romanization of the names would use a "Z" instead of a "J" though.

In episode 8 around 12.47 you can see Souichi sneaking towards Yoshii while inside a card box. This is a reference of Metal Gear Solid game series' trademark move by Solid Snake, who happens to share the same seiyuu as Souichi.

In episode 8, the scene at around 12:13 where Yoshii is in agony as a result of the attacks by the summoned creatures of Yuji and Mutsurini and all the imagery that follows until his creature's death is a parody of Evangelion.

In episode 8, the pose that the school principal makes at around 19:01 is a parody of Ikari Gendo's famous pose in Evangelion.

In episode 8, while walking in the vents for the second time, Yoshii's summon appears in what is the underground level of Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. A mushroom also appears that causes Yoshii's sumon to grow in size.
