Line 184:
* [[Red Baron]]: (Ikki's the "[[Face|Babyface]]" of East Side High, while Buccha was the "[[Heel]]"; Simca's "Tsubame (The Swallow)"; also several "<Blank> Kings". Natsumi Iriya was "The Brown Bloody Sword")
* [[Rie Tanaka]]: (Simca)
* [[Ripped from the Headlines]]: The wreckage from chapter forty-one seems to be a reference to Formula One Brazilian pilot Ayrton's Senna fatal accident at Imola, at the Grand Prix of San Marino of 1994. Senna is never named but the car design and merchandising for Marlboro is of his McLaren 1993, and the topic being discussed by Rika and Ringo being Ikki possibly dying while doing air treks makes very obvious to pinpoint who is the pilot Rika is talking about; however, Senna had changed teams to Renault-Williams for the 1994 Formula One Season , so it seems the artist committed an error or changed the car's design to not make the celebrity referenced so obvious.
* [[Rollerblade Good]]
* [[Rule of Cool]]: {{spoiler|Emily gets her body hijacked by American President [[Barack Obama]]'s Expy. Why? Oh!Great wanted to use America's outrageous weapons cache to help his plot. That, and it suddenly made Emily more important than a vaguely-cool, has-potential hot girl who wears ATs and likes Kazu a whole lot. [[Mind Screw|Yeah]].}}
