Line 67:
** In episode 35 Maria cosplays as Suigintou from ''[[Rozen Maiden]]''. It goes without saying they are both voiced by Tanaka Rie.
* Speaking of ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'' and Gai's VA [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]], any time writers can find a way to make his character in another series say [[Disappears Into Light|"hikari ni nare"]], they will. There's the ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' example above (where his character also visually resembles [[Gurren Lagann|Viral]]). The line also occurs in [[Moetan]], where Hiyama voices Karks, and in ''[[They Are My Noble Masters]]'', where Hiyama's character gets into a duel with Tomokazu Seki's character and the latter's [[G Gundam|Shining Finger]].
** ''[[They Are My Noble Masters]]'' has more of this in its [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] -- in one parody-filled episode, the [[Yuko Goto|Yuuko-Gotou]]-voiced Miyu Kuonji uses a [[ShuffleSHUFFLE!|box-cutter attack]] and a [[Suzumiya Haruhi|"Mirakuru Beam"]].
* The animated video made as an intro to "It's a Rumic World" (an exhibition of artwork by [[Rumiko Takahashi]]) has [[Inuyasha]] noting that Ranma and him have the same voice, because they also have the same seiyuu. Extra funny considering they also have the same ''English'' voice actors (well only seasons 4-7 for Ranma).
* The [[Gag Dub]] of ''[[Ghost Stories]]'' has Satsuki answering a call with "[[Super Milk-chan|Milk-chan]] here", even doing the same voice.
Line 79:
* ''[[Earth Defender Mao Chan]]'' includes a character (Kagome Mishima) who looks identical to Ken Akamatsu's previous and better-known series ''[[Love Hina]]'''s Naru Narusegawa; another character (Sylvia) is voiced by Naru's VA [[Horie Yui]]. At one point, the characters visit a hot springs resort which is clearly the one from Love Hina - they even describe it as "the hot-springs which magically makes people get in to Tokyo U!" It's inhabited by another character looking identical to Naru, and when Kagome introduces herself to the Naru-alike and asks her name, another character says "No! Don't answer that!" In the English dub, Naru and Kagome have the same English voice-actress.
* In the [[Gag Dub]] of ''[[Shin Chan]]'' Hiro and Mitzi have a [[Mundane Made Awesome|faux-epic]] newspaper-sword fight and Hiro calls one of his attacks "Sword of the Darkness Flame", which was an attack of Hiei from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', both voiced by Chuck Huber.
* ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'' has one with April which is a combination of this, [[Captain Ersatz]], and [[Expy]]. The character's Japanese voice actress dubs a lot of Halle Berry's roles, including that of Storm in ''[[X-Men]]''. The character in the anime is a black woman with weather-control powers.
** Hei's voice actor also voiced [[Monster (manga)|Tenma]], and in the [[Time Skip]] between the two seasons, Hei mirrors him in going from clean-cut [[Mr. Fanservice]] to sexiest hobo ever.
*** A dub-based one- [[John Swasey]], who voices Huang, voiced Gendo Ikari of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The relevance comes in at the end of the first season, with a scene that is clearly inspired by Evangelion's "[[Gainax Ending|congratulations scene]]".
