* The fic has several pop culture references, including ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', ''[[Yotsubato]]'' (possibly unintentional), ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Watchmen]]'' ("I did it thirty five minutes ago"). The author references one of his other fics in this, noting that it explains more about Roger's "creepy" behavior with a dog.
* The "sign the song that ends the world" bit has to be a [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Penny Arcade]]''.
* In Chapter 13, Dark performs a ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'' Kamehameha. However, it's misspelled as the "Kamy Hamy Ha".
* In chapter 16 Dark fights with two swords in his hand and one between his teeth, a [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[One Piece]]''.
* Odds are, if it's a recent action game, it'll be referenced - ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', ''[[Modern Warfare]]'', ''[[God of War (Video Gameseries)|God of War]]'', ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''... even ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' gets a [[Shout -Out]].
** Amusingly, a flashforward showed [[Modern Warfare]] 3, described as "like the normal game but with laser guns". Then the game is released for real, albeit nothing like that description.
* [[Superman|"THIS IS A JOB FOR DESK LADY!" she said like ["Superman]] and flew to the desk except she cant fly cos shes just a normal lady so she just walked but did it extra fast."]
* ''"Some guy told me that im on Tv Tropes now which is like a wikipedia but for tv or something!! THIS A FAMOUS STORY BUT I WONT LET IT GOT TO MY HEAD EVEN IF IM AWSEOM! Im not on tv but i guess death note is and thats why they licked it?"''
* At one point, alarms go off [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|"...like NERVE everytime an angel comes."]]
* The author seems to be a [[Kanye West]] fan; both Watari and Day use the "[[Kanye West (Music)/Memes|I'mma let you finish]]" construction, Light's mom "MAKES SOME TOAST FOR THE DOOSHBAG" (i.e. Near), Day has Kanye's spiral haircut and when he gets "burnt and twisted", he becomes a "[[Flat What|BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY]]" (in a chapter appropriately called "A Dark (YAGAMI) Twisted Fantasy"). He even makes an appearance as shinigami in chapter 43, writing "all his songs in a death note and that's why he kills!".
* Chapter 45, Dark can no longer remember anything about anything. And if he ever did, [[Doctor Who (TV)|his head would explode]].
* In the first part of the epilogue, it turns out that Mello not only looks like [[Lady Gaga]] (an assertion that the author made earlier in the series) but ''is'' Lady Gaga. [[Stealth Pun|The fic then reveals that he sang a song about his "Papa", who is called "Ratzy"]].
* Wammy House... sorry, "Watari House" is "a magic school". Light just has one question about it:
{{quote| ''"IS IT HOGWARTS DAD?"''}}
* Roger, caretaker/teacher/owner/something of Wammy House, [[Oliver Twist|refuses to "give them any more" at meal times]].
* Is this supposed to be a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Iron Man]]?
{{quote| "the nuclear in cybertakadas giant chest was spinning at a million miles an hour."}}
* Samanther is described looking "just like the drummer chick from that [[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World|scot pilgrim film]]" (Lynette Guycott).
* Samanther says "MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE SHINGAMI TO THE ARENA.", referencing the song "Milkshake" by Kelis (chorus: "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard")
