Line 6:

** Right from the start, there is the title, which references the 1985 film ''[[Desperately Seeking Susan]]''.

** In addition to a highly variant version of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', there are shout-outs to a few other [[Magical Girl]] series among the inhabitants of Minato.

** Nabiki has read ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' and references it in her thoughts during one of her very first exposure's to Ranma and Kasumi's magic.

** Britain has a magical government and subculture that draws heavily on ''[[Harry Potter]]''.

** "Yori" mentions to an FBI agent that there are pockets of magic in [[Anne Rice|Louis]][[The Edge (novel)|iana]], [[H.P. Lovecraft|the coast of Massachusetts]], and Arkansas.

** During their off-Earth "vacation", Ranma and Kasumi take Nabiki to a world which looks a lot like [[Star Wars|Coruscant]], although Nabiki compares it to a sunnier, cleaner version of ''[[Blade Runner]]''. And while considering what she's seen so far, she thinks of ~~[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|~~"the things, the people, and the things that are also people".]]

** There is a brief [[The Cameo|cameo]] by several denizens of the [[Discworld]] in the wake of the time machine's destruction.

** [[2001: A Space Odyssey|"Oh my god, it's full of star"]] (sic) as a suggested reaction to one of the after-effects of the time machine's destruction.
