Disgaea/Shout Out: Difference between revisions

* That plant girl [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|who's actually a guy?]] His name is [[Guilty Gear|Bridget.]]

* Adell himself is a big ''[[The King of Fighters|King of Fighters]]'' shoutout. He has the garb and personality (honor before reason, massive love of battle, etc) of Adelheid Berstein, the color scheme of Iori, and some of Rock Howard's moves (Vulcan Blaze derived from Neo-Deadly Rave, King of Beasts derived from Rising Tackle, Crimson Flame similar to one of Rock's charging punches).

** He also does [[Kamen Rider|rider kicks]].

* The caption for Axel's Love Dynamite attack that says [[Napoleon Dynamite|"I voted for Pedro!"]]

* {{spoiler|Zenon Rozalin's}} [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ePK3LwUtgQ "Dark Liberation"] looks exactly like [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|the second impact.]]

** The "Holy Flare" holy dragon skill also uses the Evangelion cross explosion, and some of their abilities also have a [[The Legend of Zelda|Triforce]] in their imagery.

* Aqua Demon's "Electronic Gamer": [[Electronic Gaming Monthly|No, it's not a new magazine]].

* The Prism Ranger's [[BFG|Prism Justice]] and [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Prism Hurricane]], but what else do you expect from a [[Super Sentai]] parody?

* Entei's Kienzan attack has it form a disc of fire, then sling it at its foes, not unlike [[Dragon Ball|Z Krillin's]] move of the same name.

* [[Inuyasha|Sesshoumaru:]] [[Gotta Catch Em All|Hurry up and find the damn jewel shards!]]

* The Accursed: [[Castlevania|What a horrible night to have a curse.]]

* The item Wizard Robe has the following description: "I put on my [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]." Had to do a double take when I first saw that one.

** This [[Ascended Meme]] makes a comeback as the Wizard Hat in ''[[Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku|Z.H.P.]]''

* Bagh Nakh: [[Rocky (film)|Beware the eye of this tiger...]]

* Fist Of Anger: [[Bruce Lee|Water can flow or crash. Be like water.]]

* Elven Bow: [[The Lord of the Rings|A famous elf used it to return a lost ring.]]

* Assassin Bow: [[JFK|Best if shot from a grassy knoll.]]

* Exorcist Bow: [[The Exorcist|Use this if someone’s head starts spinning.]]

* .44 Magnum: [[Dirty Harry|You gotta ask a question--do you feel lucky?]]

* Godfather: [[The Godfather|It’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.]]

* Primitive Axe: [[2001: A Space Odyssey|Inspired by a giant monolith.]]

* Cardinal Staff: [[Babe Ruth|Hit 70 home runs with this.]]

* Spikey Shell: [[Super Mario Bros.|Jumping on this one is a bad idea.]]

* Devil Matrix: [[The Matrix|You can’t be told what the Devil Matrix is.]]

* [[Mazinger Z|Superalloy]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Seed]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Destiny]], anyone?

* When he levels up, Almaz hums "Charge". It's a bit odd, as he's not really [[The Scrappy|annoying]]. In Japanese, he says ''Cha-la-la-la-cha-cha!''

* Each tier's name of the Male Brawler class makes a reference to a [[Fighting Game]], in order: [[Fatal Fury|Fury Fatalist]], [[Art of Fighting|Fight Artist]], [[The King of Fighters|Champ of Fighters]], [[Fighting Vipers|Viper Fighter]], [[Mortal Kombat|Lethal Combatant]] and [[Street Fighter|Boulevard Fighter]].

* Gold Knuckle's personality is a homage to [[Dwayne Johnson|Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]]. He even uses the same slang.

** Bo Tie, an exercise instructor parodying Tae Bo.

** Pauline, an orphan girl parodying ''[[Little Orphan Annie]]'' and Nello from ''A Dog Of Flanders''.

** Beyond X is sometimes a {{spoiler|school nurse}} and sometimes {{spoiler|Miss Machiko}} [[Cutey Honey|but her true identity is...]]

* Several attacks, especially the magichange attacks, are clear shout outs to various anime and video game series:

** Gun-type special, [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Mega Gun Launcher]]: [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|The Hyaku Shiki's Mega Bazooka Launcher]], with the [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|red-blue positron beam]].

** Mao's Blast Finger: [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|Domon's Shining/God Finger]]

* Vulcanus' Mandatory Repo is a dead ringer for [[Kamen Rider OOO]]'s {{color|red|Ta}}{{color|gold|To}}{{color|green|Ba}} Kick. The target even drops medals after the attack hits.

* The Alraune's Thorny Blaster screams [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Giga Thorn Breaker]].

** There's also the Black Drill pirate ship part, which has the description "Trust in me, to find trust in yourself!".

* Desco's Evil Sword Balmung magichange skill is [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Zengar's Zankantou]].

* The Catsaber's Hairball Incident magichange skill has it steamroll the targets with a giant ball of yarn that grows bigger as more and more objects get stuck to it, ''[[Katamari Damacy]]'' style.

* The Ghost's Pac-ghost Chaser throws enemy into a maze filled with dots and is chased by the ghost who has now taken on the appearance of [[Pac-Man]]. The fact that it's done by a Ghost is [[Hilarious in Hindsight|even funnier]].

* In the new Omega Comet, an arrow is fired that travels through all the planets in the solar system, finishing with the sun, a direct rip on "Supernova" from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.

* One of the zombies' attacks? [[Michael Jackson|Thrill Steps]].

* Both the Alarune's magichange skills, Flower Wave and Twin Heart Attack, finishing moves from ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]''.

* If {{spoiler|[[Humongous Mecha|the Great Flonzor X, Laharl Kaiser V, and Getter Mao]]}} are anything to go by, Flonne, Laharl, and Mao are [[Getter Robo|apparently]] [[Mazinger Z|Go]] [[Great Mazinger|Nagai]] [[Mazinkaiser|fans]], though {{spoiler|Laharl Kaiser V}} looks more like a [[Gundam]].

* Prism Red's Rainbow Legend which gathers "former" Prism Rangers to face their enemy is a reference to the [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger|Legendary War]].

* If you create a Witch and send her to the support group and then talk to her, she'll come up with a idea to freeze a sardine into a blunt weapon. [[Shadow Hearts|Just like Joachim did, only he ''found'' it.]]

* Creating a Beastmaster produces a cutscene where the new character is playing [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] to a squad of prinnies. The dialogue is bowdlerized, [[Full Metal Jacket|but you'll recognize it immediately]].

* The Space Detective Gun is a miniature version of [[Daitarn 3]]'s Leg Cannon.

* Before you can create a Bouncer (whose innate evility increases the Defense of adjacent allies), you must pass a bill to "[[The Bodyguard|Make a Man who will Fight for your Honor]]".

** [[The Lonely Island|Holding My Boombox High]]

** [[Men Without Hats|Dancing for Safety]]

* The Fun Facts during Pirate creation as well;

** [[The Da Vinci Code|Solved Da Linci's Code]]
