Line 5:
** Also a [[Metal Gear Solid]] Shout Out with Iron Man coming out of a box, twice including one where he sneaks up on his target in the box. Also might be a reference that the "vent duct maze is part of the security".
* Not only do the summons look like the Dwarves from the ''[[Class of Heroes]]'' series, the full title of this is a shout out to the Japanese name of said series (''Ken to Mahō to Gakuenmono'', "Swords, Sorcery, and Scholars").
* [[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei|"He's left me in despair!"]]
* In the first episode, Minami's "Rage Explosion" is like ''[[Samurai Shodown]]''.
* ''[[Darker Than Black (Anime)|Darker Thanthan Black]] II'' -- Hideyoshi's [[Transformation Sequence]] style of summoning his Being is a [[Shout -Out]] to Suou's power activation sequence. It also parodies transformation sequences in general: his clothes disappear at the beginning and then pop back in exactly as they were before.
* In episode 2, Kubo summons his beast from his shadow with the same style of ''[[Asura Cryin]]''.
* Himeji's battle in Episode 2 parodies ''[[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)night|Fate Stay Night]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|FFVII:AC]]''.
* In Episode 2, the entire act of reattaching a broken table leg is a spoof of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]''.
* Episode 3 has a reference to the death of [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Kira Yoshikage]].
* Episode 4 has several references to [[Fullmetal Alchemist|"going through the gate"]], ending in Yoshii getting pulled through it.
* Episode 5: Yoshii uses three "pencil dice" (pencils with multiple choice answers around the edge that he rolls like dice) named Striker Sigma V (unsure of the [[Shout -Out]] here), [[Manabi Straight!|Problem]] [[To AruA MajutsuCertain noMagical Index|Breaker]], and [[G Gundam|Shining Answer]]. Also, he uses Problem Breaker to ''[[Gurren Lagann|PIERCE THE HEAVENS!]]''
* Episode 6 has Kouta going down underwater after a massive bleed from seeing Hideyoshi's ...[[Attractive Bent Gender|bare chest]]. ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]) While sinking in a puddle of red he gives the thumbs up sign from ''[[Terminator]] 2: Judgment Day'', combined with [[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|the last words of Raoh:]] "My life was one lived without a single regret."
* In Episode 7 we see the same elaborate fake drawer bottom set-up Light used to hide the [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]. Unfortunately, it seems Shouko watched the same show.
* [[Full Metal Panic (Light Novel)!|Bonta-kun]] shows up as a background silhouette at the amusement park.
* In Episode 8 we learn, that the school Principal seems to get her equipment from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|N.E.R.V.]]... [[Oh Crap|oh, crap]]! (Might have to do with the fact that her name is Kaworu...) Also, the Third Impact happens for whatever reason, and the [[Eyecatch]] is a send-up of Eva's episode title cards. This whole episode was one big Evangelion [[Shout -Out]]. The Principal doing the [[Gendo Pose]] and Smirk. Yoshii yelling father just before the afore mentioned Thid Impact. There's probably more, too.
** Adding onto that, "The avatar is here" and Muttsulini's summon becoming a little cannibalistic like a certain type of mecha are also references to EVA.
* Apparently, Kouta has a [[Code Geass (Anime)|Geass]] and Himeji has a [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|SEED Mode]]. Seemingly, Kouta and Akihisa ALSO have a SEED mode, not just Himeji. At least according to episodes 5 and 6. The "[[Super Mode|SEED Burst]]" is seen quite a few times through the series.
** Episode 8 also spoofs Impulse vs Freedom showdown from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Anime)|Seed Destiny]]'', with Yoshii's summon as Impulse, and a clone of Mizuki's summon as a combination of Freedom and Strike Freedom.
* Akihisa doing the ''[[Kamen Rider Black]]'' transformation pose to summon at the start of the episode definitely counts.
* Himeji's and Minami's {{spoiler|Adult avatars}} take on the appearance of [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Morrigan and Lilith]], respectively.
* [[Bayonetta (Video Game)|Bayonetta]]'s [[Fetish Fuel|wooden horse]] makes an appearance.
* The communicator Yoshii wears on his right hand is a [[The Wizard (Filmfilm)|Power Glove.]]
* Yuuji's and Kouta's rampaging Summoned Beings that Akihisa fights in the vent ducts use moves reminiscent of classic [[Super Robot]] anime series and [[Naruto]].
* When Himeji offers to help Akihisa study for the make-up exam, in his [[Imagine Spot]] she's wearing [[Please Teacher (Anime)!|Mizuho-sensei's]] clothes. The voice actress even changes her tone to resemble that of [[Kikuko Inoue]]'s when playing the character.
* The entire vent duct sequence is a machine gun of [[Shout -Out]] gags. [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] underground level, anyone? Complete with Super Mushroom and green piping.
* Hideyoshi is an obvious reference to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi Toyotomi]]. His avatar has the traditional naginata/outfit combination, and he talks like an 80 year old, although this is probably lost on non-Japanese speakers since it's hard to properly convey in translation.
* Also, his last name is taken from Hideyoshi Toyotomi's old name, Tokichiro Kinoshita, back from when he was a servant of the Imagawa Clan.
* The battles themselves have a Shout Out to ''[[Valkyria Chronicles (Video Game)|Valkyria Chronicles]]'': the cut-ins look exactly like those in VC, down to the animation.
* In the Opening, the teacher Tetsujin/Ironman strikes a pose similar to Akuma from [[Street Fighter]] after a Shun Goku Satsu; complete with a kanji symbol on his back.
* During one of the subsequent battles, Minami fights against 3 of Class D's boys and has a [[Super Move Portrait Attack]] in the style of the [[Street Fighter Alpha 3]] / [[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]] art and battle quote poses before pulling off a special tech that completely smashes her opponents.
* Those cult members in class F suspiciously look like members of the Ku Klux Klan.
* Second season episode 10 the way Kouta assassinates class B's messenger is like one of [[Tenchu]]'s Ayame's move.
* In the 12th episode of the second season, [[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail|Kouta calls a]] [[Nosebleed]] [[Only a Flesh Wound|"just a flesh wound".]]
* One scene shows a random featurless "Class-F faced" student lounging around, who's generic "features" make him resemble Niijima from [[HistorysKenichi: StrongestThe DiscipleMightiest KenichiDisciple]].
* No wonder they made Yuuji sign the warrant before entering the haunted house in episode 7, they got [[2001: A Space Odyssey (Film)|HAL watching over it.]]
