Surprised to still learn about new ones today!
Does this count as a reference? A papercraft Stegosaurus appears as a weapon in the battle rankings minigame in Little Busters!
Someone else on discord (I forgot, sorry) said that the planetarian reference is only in EE because PE certainly didn’t have it.
Last time I was in Riki’s room, that Planetarian book wasn’t there. Must only be there at a specific time…?
That’s Kyousuke’s room. Not Riki’s.
Technically a reference by a translator rather than Key, but, eh, well, this busterpedia entry exists.
I for one do not remember modanyaki from Charlotte…
Yeah, who on earth is Charlotte?
I see we’ve entered the denial stage…
I feel this discussion of Komari’s hair accessory and Mio pretending to assume it’s a starfish instead of a star mirrors one of the first scenes with Fuko in Clannad where Tomoya first assumes she’s carving a star and not a starfish.
Can you screenshot the JP version?
Someone brought up on Discord the “Tego” from when you take Kud and Mio to the test of courage.
By the powers of Google I found a blog explaining it being an Air reference. The word that GaoGao translates to “Violate” is 手込め[Tegome]. We obviously also have Mio doing Minagi’s iconic “Po.”
There’s a fuckton of other Air references in LB!, especially references to YerianPotato.
lol, I’d never seen it as anything but the usual joke on Kud’s English, but that’s an interesting interpretation too x)
