• Actor Allusion (in the dub)^[context?]
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Prospector is The Sword That Smites Evil! I KID YOU NOT.)
  • Raidese F. Branstein is a skirt-chasing long-haired Earth pilot! Kyosuke Nanbu is a long-haired bishonen Jovian pilot! The Sage Fox of Shinra is Nadesico's Electronic Fairy! Excellen Browning is/was an amnesiac enemy pilot on the opposite side of the T.V where Kyosuke Nanbu lives!
  • Shinji is remarkably chipper, at least in the dub. Asuka is a bit more calm and mature.
  • Also in the dub, Nabeshin is a Hot-Blooded mecha pilot, and Koshi Rikdo is the ship's accountant.
• Real Life Relative: Akito and Ruri's seiyuu are husband and wife. Thankfully not replicated in-series.
  • Doesn't prevent Ruri's dialogue towards Akito and vice versa from sounding more passionate than that between Akito and Yurika.
• Shout-Out: Everything from classic science fiction to Iron Chef to having a whole major character based on Megumi Hayashibara. Even the name of the ship, "Nadesico", is an ironic reference to the Yamato of Uchuu Senkan Yamato by way of the common Japanese phrase "Yamato Nadeshiko" ("Nadeshiko" is an alternate transliteration of "Nadesico"). Worth pointing out, the manga actually calls the Nadesico with Y-Unit "Yamato Nadesico".
  • The Japanese title Kidou Senkan Nadesico, or Mobile Battleship Nadesico is a reference to Mobile Suit Gundam and Space Battleship Yamato.
  • The entire 19th episode is a massive and blatant shout out to/affectionate parody of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross.
  • Inez Fressange's name is quite similar to Inès de la Fressange.
• Super Robot Wars: Starred in Advance, Reversal, Impact, MX, J, and W.
