Episodes 27 and 28 make extremely obvious references to DBZ, of course. A reference that somewhat surprised me was that the announcer announces the fighters in the exact same style (to an extent so similar I'm certain they used to same person) as the announcer in PRIDE FC, A now defunct Japanese MMA organization.

Lots of buildings have that kind of roof. Now, if you can find a photo of an actual arena in Japan... |

You're probably right about the building. Just like the Otakyu shopping centre is a real building. Might be some baseball field or an old Olympic building. edit: I'm guessing Tokyo Dome Last edited by Fruitfly; 2007-10-16 at 00:35. |

In episode 27, at around 19:59 when Kaede Nonohara uses Safety Shutter, doesn't that move resemble Hiei's Jaou Ensatsu Kokuryuha, or Dragon of the Darkness Flame technique from Yu Yu Hakusho?
Also in episode 16, at 8:16 Hayate asks "Does he have an acceleration device in his back teeth?". Isn't this suppose to be a reference to Cyborg 009 where Joe Shimamura uses a switch in his teeth to move faster? Last edited by lanh9; 2007-10-21 at 17:01. |

It incredibly closely resembles Pikkon's special move from DBZ, the fact that it's a long-charging flame beam attack that is used inside a square platform inside a tournament (all points being the same)... with the same kind of counter being used, teleportation behind during the charging phase.

Anyone notice that Dorothy from Mar was in ep 18? Come to think of it, there were a lot of Mar references, like on the back in ep 13. Ep. 5 you see Dorothy and Ginta after Hayate saves the squids.... And others, I'm sure.
Ep 3: Sailor Moon parody! "In the name of love, I shall punish you!" XD I think everyone knows about Hayate's Solid Snake escapade from ep 4. In the same episode, Yukiji did the Shishengumi motto and the Gotestu move from Rurouni Kenshin. And not to mention that one butler Hayate-kun fought looked A LOT like Gin Ichimaru from Bleach. Or is it just my imagination? That hair, that smile..... c'mon! Also there was an acceleration device reference to Cyborg 009 in Ep. 16. There was a funny little Edward Elric moment for Nagi in ep 15.... "don't call me small!" And I still think Hayate's entire character is just like Allen from D.Grayman. Shakugan no Shana reference in Ep 22. Death Note reference in ep 23!! Also, that boss dude looked an awful lot like Jonah Jameson from Spiderman. o_O
