Easter Eggs

Denkou Choujin Gridman

• When Anosillus the Second lends Yuta her earphones, the piano cover of Yume no Hero can be heard from them. This song played in episode 6 of the series, which is also when the first Anosillus appeared.
• The man buying the keyboard in the Junk Shop is designed after and voiced by Masaya Obi, who acted as Naoto Sho 25 years ago.
• The sign at the train station shows one of the stops to be Sakuragaoka, the setting of Denkou Choujin Gridman.
• The TV show that Orie was watching also appeared in Denkou Choujin Gridman, and Naoto's mother also watched it.
• The security camera was made by Cat's Eye, a security firm that also appeared in episode 12 of Denkou Choujin Gridman.

Ultraman Series

• Utsumi plays with a figure of Zaigorg and a Xio Space Musketty.
• The Uchusen magazine has on its cover Tector Gear Zero, Hunter Knight Tsurugi and Andro Melos. Ultra Super Fight is also on the cover, in plain text.
• Utsumi and Akane talked about Red King and how it doesn't actually look red in color, except for certain variants.
• In the scene where Anti tries to do a flying kick on Yuta, there is a poster in the background with this image. This background is actually modeled based on a real life location, poster and all.

Tsuburaya Works

• On the same Uchusen magazine Utsumi read, there are mentions of other Tsuburaya properties, such as Otasuke Girl, Bio Planet WoO, and Cyber Beauties Telomere.
• The Starbows Coffee cafe where Utsumi and Akane go to is, in addition to being a stand-in for Starbucks, a reference to another Tsuburaya work, Star Bows.

Other

• The song Rikka was listening to is the ending song of Inferno Cop.
• On the back of the Uchusen magazine Utsumi was reading, the covers for UNION and youthful beautiful can be seen.
• The golden parts on the gift Rikka bought for Akane are designed based on the Matrix of Leadership from the Transformers franchise.
