In Episode 5, when a Floating Continent appears, Shiro and Sora promptly belt out "Laputa really exists!" and are suddenly dressed up as the main duo from the titular film.In the localization of Volume 2, after winning against Steph, Shiro says, " All your panties are belong to us.".When asked how did they managed to solve it this quick, Sora credited Civ as one of the games he played. Right after the siblings get coronated, Steph reminds them not to play games and help solve issues with the country's governance instead.When both reject Kurami's offer to withdraw from the tournament in Episode 3, they make a shout out to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (specifically Part 4) via Art Shift, while stating Rohan's famous line, "But, I refuse!" and that they 'like saying "no" to people who think they have the upper hand'.and then immediately cheer that they were finally able to say it and check it off their bucket list.Better yet, the way they're seated during the chess match (along with Not-Judge presiding the match) and the crowd's reaction to Shiro not wanting Sora to create a harem take pages from the visual novel itself. This also continues to the siblings' coronation in Episode 4. Being a game otaku, he's was savvy enough to invoke it.

In Episode 3, when Sora barges into Kurami's coronation ceremony, he interrupts an elderly official that bears a striking resemblance to the judge from the Ace Attorney series.
