* [[Russian Guy Suffers Most]]: It's a bit of a running gag that [[Everything's Worse with Bears|Kozlov the talking bear]] keeps getting bits of himself shot off by the bad guys.

** The [[Mega Corp]] known as Toha Heavy Industries is a nod to Nihei's earlier manga, ''BLAME!'', which featured a megastructure of the same name. This lead most fans to believe that ''Biomega'' was meant to be a prequel until [[Word of God]] said it was a different continuity. |
