Line 84:
* [[Sentai]]
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: Snake/Ivy of the Gangreen Gang. Odd considering how the dub tried to make the show more like its CN counterpart. Then again, considering what the anime did to Snake's character, the result could have come off like a Drag Queen. This is inverted with Little Arturo, who is a girl in the anime, and yet keeps the original ''male'' name. The dub of the series reverted Arturo back to being a boy, though he retained a feminine voice and his dress.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The girls' transformations include tributes to many other magical girls.
** In episode 10, as the girls are flying in to stop Mojo, a new reporter yells, "[[Superman|Is it a bird? Is it a plane?"]]
** Episode 48 has what might be a very subtle [[Shout-Out]] to [[Final Fantasy VII]], when {{spoiler|Taka-Aki climbs the cliff while in monster form, in exactly the same way that Red XIII/Nanaki does in the very last scene of [[Final Fantasy VII]] and the beginning of [[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]].}}
** And of course, the series contains lots of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to the original [[Powerpuff Girls]], most notably in the second opening, but also in the episodes themselves, including Bubbles talking to animals, an episode where the Mayor (possessed by a ghost) passes a law honouring monsters (referencing the original series episode Bought And Scold), an episode where Him possesses Miyako's doll Octi (referencing Octi Evil), one where Him challenges the girls to get three items for him to save Professor Utonium, Ken and Peach from <s>certain doom</s> getting a haircut (referencing Him Diddle Riddle), one where vegetable monsters attack the girls (a reference to Beat Your Greens) and lots, lots, LOTS more. There's also an episode where Professor Utonium makes a "super suit", referencing the one he had in Powerprof. Buttercup's Hurricane Lutz move might be a reference to her ability to turn into a tornado in the original series.
*** Also, Miko Shirogane seems like Bunny in the original [[Powerpuff Girls]] episode "Twisted Sister" and Princess. Like Bunny, Miko has purple eyes and brown hair, and has a purple theme color. She also gave some burden to the girls and only had her direct appearance at only one episode. Like Princess, well, probably her Shirogane Z counterpart is similar. Unlike Bunny, however, she's an evil genius.
**** The titular "z", perhaps?
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Mojo Jojo mistakenly believes that Shirogane Z is one.
* [[Snap Back]]: Episode 43 ends with Momoko's exile from Earth.
