Line 36:
* The fourth season of the ''[[Slayers]]'' anime aired in 2008; the ending sequence featured the plane chart noting the hierarchy of the [[Exclusively Evil|five Mazoku lords]], the four Dark Lords, and [[Guardian of the Multiverse|the Lord of Nightmares]] suspended in the background. The two spots on the chart reserved for the Mazoku Lords [[Big Bad|Fibrizo]] and [[The Brute|Gaav]] are destroyed, nodding to the fact that they were both [[Killed Off for Real]] in the second season of the anime...which aired back in 1996...
** Oddly, in a possible case of potential discontinuity, the spot on the chart for Dark Lord Dugradigdu remains intact, despite having been destroyed in the third season (1997). It is considered Hajime Kanzaka's way of protesting the season, as it is the beginning of divergence from his books. Since then, he seems to have accepted the change.
* In chapter 20 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid]]'', Vivio and her friends are given special bracelets designed by the TSAB Research Department that drains a person's physical and magical powers to help in their training. When Nanoha sees it, she makes a comment about how she used to do something like that when she was a kid, except she had to let Raising Heart manually do the draining for her since she didn't have something as convenient as the bracelets. This was a reference to Nanoha's [[Training
* In Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector, during the fight between Axel Almer and Einst Kyousuke Nanbu/Beowulf in the prologue, Axel fire the Soulgain's fist into Beowulf's mech, but it doesn't finish the job. In the final episode, where {{spoiler|Beowulf suddenly appears in the final battle against the Einst, the fist is still lodged in its chest, and is used by the OG Kyousuke Nanbu to finish the job.}}
* In the background of the earlier [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi]] episodes, nods to the original series could be seen in the background. Multiple events that weren't shown in the first season, but occurred in the novels, had their remainders shown in the club room. While most were later filled in on in their second season, unfamiliar fans may wonder why there is a frog costume or a bamboo plant lying around.
