I think there could have been a dying message worked in somehow, even if it was a fake dying message. Like, "OH GOD, BEATRICE IS REEAAAAALLLL". Or they could find a detailed death message in Kinzo's study, which was planted by Natsuhi.
I think some are homages but not all of them. The guy posing as two different persons isn't really an homage to anything in particular.
