** Billy Katagiri is known as "Billy goat"
*** "Zetsubou Billy", a nickname bestowed on Billy during season two for obvious reasons. The name also comes from the title of the second Death Note ending theme.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The English dub, done by [[The Ocean Group]], uses VA's from several previous Gundam series. As a result, many Gundam 00 characters sound like other well-known characters.
** Aeolia Schenberg's [[Michael Kopsa|voice]] sounds like [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|someone who pilots Red Tree Times Faster]].
*** Speaking of Aeolia, WHO would have guessed that [[Chikao Ohtsuka|his japanese voice]] is [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Doctor Eggman's]].
Line 84:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Oh boy...
** Trans-Am, which turns the machine using it red and increases its output threefold, is clearly a reference to the infamous [[Gundam (Anime)/Memes|Gundam meme]] about [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Char Aznable's]] red Zaku being three times faster than the normally colored version.
** The party scene from season two, in addition to being one long [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Turn a Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'', also contains a brief reference to a similar scene that occurred in the very first ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Gundam 0079]]'' with Tieria being annoyed by a pair of suck-ups in a manner similar to his fellow purple-haired [[Bishonen]] Garma Zabi.
** Ribbons' Gundams contain several gags as an [[Actor Allusion]], since his voice actor also played [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro]] [[Chars Counterattack|Ray]]:
*** The 0 Gundam '''is''' the RX-78-2 Gundam, with clavicle antennae and a GN Drive tacked on. On top of that, the original version is gray, white, and red, which was how [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] wanted the Gundam to look. Infamously, he was [[Executive Meddling|over-riden by the sponsors]] and forced to make the Gundam more colorful, resulting in the iconic tricolor look...which shows up on the Actual Combat Deployment version of the 0 Gundam<ref>For the curious, Tomino's original color scheme was later adopted as the Gundam's rollout colors, inverting the dynamic that would appear with the 0 Gundam</ref>.
Line 110:
** Then there's the [[Kingdom Hearts]] seiyuus: Sora (Saji Crossroad), Riku (Setsuna F. Seiei), Axel (Ali al-Saachez), and Alladin (Lockon Stratos)
** And also from [[Tsubasa Chronicle]]: Saji Crossroad (Syaoran), Michael Trinity (Fai), Captain Barrack Zinnin (Kurogane), Setsuna F. Seiei (Kamui)
* [[Shout -Out]]: Aside from past ''[[Gundam]]'' series, there are plenty references to [[Square Enix|Square]] games.
** The first time Exia used the Trans-Am System he attacked Ali al-Saachez using the "[[Final Fantasy VII|Omni-slash]]".
** The Trans-Am Raiser is very similar to the ''[[Final Fantasy VIII|Blasting Zone]]'', and is actually nicknamed as such by fans.
