Line 14:
* The main character of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury]]'' meets Miorine at a greenhouse shortly before she's beaten by her [[Arranged Marriage]] future husband then accidentally winning marriage to Miorine in a duel against her abuser, which will be [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|very familiar]] to fans of the [[Yuri Genre]]. The writer of ''Witch from Mercury'', Ichirou Ookouchi, while better known as the writer for ''[[Code Geass]]'', ''[[Princess Principal]]'', and some ''[[Turn A Gundam]]'' episodes, was also responsible writing the light novel version of ''Utena'', and the [[Sega Saturn]] video game among other spinoffs. The background characters randomly comparing the Gundam's appearance to "the national emblem of old France" might also be a nod to [[Rose of Versailles|another highly influential early yuri work]].
** Chuatury Panlunch is nicknamed "Chuchu" and has giant balls of hair that resemble the ears of ''Utena'''s Chu-Chu the monkey. This one was unplanned, as her nickname prompted the character designer to give her that hairstyle without realizing the name was an intentional nod.
** The names "Prospera" and "Aerial" [[The Tempest|should sound familiar]] given [[The Bard on Board|the plot has Prospera's revenge plot include getting her daughter married to the child of the man responsible for trying to kill her, and those two children first meeting during a rescue operation]].
*** The official novelization takes this further by noting Suletta, having never seen another girl her age, is enchanted (見惚れて) by Miorine's face when rescuing her floating in space mirroring how Miranda, having never seen a man besides her father, is enchanted by Ferdinand's face when rescuing him during a shipwreck.
