{{work}}
* {{spoiler|Tsukune's state as a ghoul seems to follow closely to those in the [[Vampire: The Masquerade (Tabletop Game)|Vampire: The Masquerade]] RPG setting, though he has the benefit of feral vampire-like [[Unstoppable Rage]]}}
* Also, a certain [[Ninja Gaiden|someone]] can be seen standing on a pole, in the background of [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v02/c007/19.html this page].
** Shiina Tamai and Hoshimaru from [[Naru TaruNarutaru]] also appears in [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v02/c007/9.html this page.]
* In the manga, Nekonome-sensei claims to be "thirty years younger", thus "seventeen years old", a joke often used by her voice actor, [[Kikuko Inoue]]. Yes, the ''manga'' shouts out to a ''voice actor''.
** Well, it ''is'' Kikuko Inoue. She's kind of a legend at this point. The joke takes a new form when she voices Mizore's mother.
* In the anime episode ''Body Measurement + Vampire'', when Ruby is playing the doctor, she seems to have been taking fashion tips from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)/Characters|Ritsuko Akagi]]
* Chapter 15 of the second manga serialization introduces the magical whip "Belmont", complete with title cover and panel done in the style of an early [[Castlevania]] game, which even features [[Goddamned Bats]]. The whip's power of magic canceling is identical to that of the Vampire Killer, the whip the Belmonts wield. Except that Belmont doesn't burn/kill vampires with a touch, like Vampire Killer does. Good thing, since {{spoiler|Inner Moka is the one who uses it.}}
* In episode 5 the soccer players' shirts are nearly identical to those worn by [[Captain Tsubasa|Nankatsu team]]
* How about in chapter 23 of part II of the manga: Tsukune [[Bleach|catches a big-ass phoenix by the beak]]. Even some minor similarities - after everyone's finished gaping (because the phoenix is [[The Worf Effect|supposed]] to be really powerful), it's getting ready for another go, and someone else steps in and takes it down.
* Is the [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|bus driver]] really [[Naruto|riding a giant frog]]? Why yes, he is!
* Chapter 25, page 27, first panel is practically copied from the old video game "Dig Dug". You can even see the fire from the dragon like creature in the right side of the panel.
* Chapter 26 has [[Giant Robo|Giant Robo's]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c026/11.html Fitzgerald]. I'd recognize those [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|snapping fingers]] anywhere!
* Tsukune's cousin Kyoko wears a T-shirt printed with a string of musical notes under the word "[[Nodame Cantabile|Cantabile]]."
* In the second manga season, Chapter 19, Tsukune and Kurumu play a game of [[Video Game/Balloon Fight|Balloon Fight]] on Famicon. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100102055211/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v04/c017/30.html\]
* In season 2, chapter 28 Kurumu gets attacked by a [[Uzumaki|Junji Ito]]-[[The Thing (Filmfilm)|thing]], [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Film)|Leatherface]], and a wall-mounted [[Return of the Jedi|Saarlac]] full of [[Naughty Tentacles]].
* How could everyone forget Kokoa's methods of stalking the sealed Moka in the human world, described in episode 2 of ''Capu2''? She dressed as [[Nightmare On Elm Street|Freddy Krueger]], [[Friday the 13 th13th (Filmfilm)|Jason Voorhees]] and [[Scream (Filmfilm)|Ghostface]], and used a [[ChildsChild's Play (Filmfilm)|Chucky]] doll.
* During the school festival, a [[Dragonball Z|saibaman]] can be seen in the crowd.
** Akihisa Ikeda seems to like his shout outs to [[Doctor Slump|Akira Toriyama's]] work [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v02/c008/18.html as can be seen here].
* In Rosario+ Vampire II in Ch 29, In quite possibly the most obvious shout out to [[Rumiko Takahashi]] ever, The third dark lord asks Inner Moka cosplay as [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c029/10.html Lum] from [[Urusei Yatsura]] (without telling her what the costume is until after she's wearing it, of course), only because [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c029/11.html he is] [[One of Us]].
* {{spoiler|[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c030/32.html Akuha ] }} seems to know how to use [[Fist of the North Star|Nanto Rokuseiken.]] or at least something that looks like it.
* As is only appropriate for a manga with vampires, chapter 31 [https://web.archive.org/web/20100618040048/http://www.onemanga.com/Rosario-Vampire_II/31/16/ has a nice little homage] to ''[[Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''. A few pages later Akuha announces [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c031/23.html what she wants out of life, and Dio Brando would be proud.]
* Episode 10 of ''Capu2'' shows us there's a [[Super Mario Bros.|Piranha Plant]] at the lunch room. It's plainly seen in the background when [[Handsome Lech|Kotaro]] saves Yukari from falling after she slips on a banana peel.
* Ah, heck! They somehow managed to sneak [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c026/23.html Akira] in for some reason...
* During the {{spoiler|fake}} raid on the Wong family's mansion, the [http://www.mangareader.net/319-48040-20/rosario-vampire-ii/chapter-28.html "Yuusei Hitou" creature] bears an almost perfect resemblance to the detached head from [[The Thing (Filmfilm)|John Carpenter's ''The Thing'']].
* Extremely hard to see in the scanslated chapter online (it's clearer in the Viz translation due to it being easier to get an closer look at it)but in chapter 3 season 2 if you look close at Kokoa's face in the last picture on [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v01/c003/22.html this page] look at the mask she's [[Friday the 13 th13th (Filmfilm)|wearing]].
* In the same page as the second [[Akira Toriyama]] [[Shout -Out]] mentioned above, the Handicraft Club (where they have gone to solve Kokoa's "problem") not only has a board reading "Cosplay Club" clear as day (much to Kokoa's dismay), there's also [[Jo JosJoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jotaro's jacket]] at the door.
* In Chapter 41, Touhou Fuhai's inner monologue reveals that he's out of energy, which apparently is like "A [[Doraemon|Robotic Cat without its pockets.]]
* Everybody: "Love and peace!"
* [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c026/14.html Mizore] as the [[Sesame Street (TV)|Oscar the Grouch]] on the last panel.
* Jack Frost looks like a creepy version of the [[Shin Megami Tensei]] mascot.
* Rubi's fight takes place in a [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v10/c045/4.html corredor] that resembles the one where [[The Matrix|Neo fought Bane/Smith]] {{spoiler|likely because both fights feature electricity}}.
* The "Meaningless End-of-Volume Theater" [[Omake]] for Season II Volume 6 includes a scene where the girls adopt appearances based on characters from other series. Kurumu is wearing [[Odango]] with the little covers, Rubi has [[Spice and Wolf|Holo's]] ears (and tail), and Mizore has on a [[Haruhi Suzumiya|North High]] uniform.
* Xia-Long of the Miu family has an attack called ''[[Guns N' Roses (Music)|Guns N' Roses]]''. It's [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|exactly what it says on the tin]].
** Seen [http://www.mangareader.net/rosario-vampire-ii/48/10 here].
* Episode 9 of the second season features the line "'''{{smallcaps|[[Kneel Before Zod|kneel before Kokoa!]]}}'''"
