Obscure References
For A Cruel Angel's Thesis
--
(Here are the references to the Esaka Destiny "Saga". Most of them will actually refer to the first riffed fic, "A Story of Destined Love".)
(Part Two)
Sonic: And then he "accidentally" fell in love with her
while ignoring his canon girlfriend, right? Sounds like a story of "destined"
love!
Kyo K., Emi: *cringes*
Manic: Hoo boy. What's next, they're "destined" to be together?
Sonic: I thought I said that a while ago.
Manic: Yeah, but it needs repeating.
(Part Seven)
Athena: Okay, never mind, looks like he clearly has feelings for her.
Now this is reminding me of something... he's addressing her as "Miss Kira"?
*looks at Kyo K.* Almost like how a certain someone addressed someone
else as "Miss Emi"?
Kyo K.: Oh, don't you start reminding me about that crap, Athena! *points
at Sonic and Manic* I'm already getting enough of that from those spiny brothers
over there!
Sonic, Manic: *grins and waves at Kyo K.*
Athena: Miss Kira, Kyo.
Kyo K.: Shut. Up.
(Part Eight)
Kyo K.: *points at Sonic, Manic, and Athena* Not. One. Word.
Manic: Sure thing, Master Kyo!
Sonic, Manic: *laughs*
Athena: *giggles*
Kyo K.: *grumbles* I hate you all.
(Part Ten)
Kyo L.: Oh, Miss Ki--
Kyo L.: You mean his "destined love".
Sonia: Huh. So he's "destined" to be with her. Just like what happened with Emi, hmm?
(Part Twenty-Four)
Benimaru: Also... why is this sounding like Kyo fighting Kusanagi? *as
Kusanagi* I made her scream, Kyo. She enjoyed everything, Kyo.
Kyo K.: Oh, cut it out, Beni.
Benimaru: We missed you, blood packs.
(The references end here.)
(Part Two)
Sonia: A broken alarm clock? Kyo, you broke that Clocky thing that
Benimaru gave to you for your birthday, didn't you?
Kyo K.: Yes, I did, and I have no regrets. I got tired of chasing that
stupid thing around my room.
Yes, it was revealed in the riffing of "A Story of Destined Love" that Kyo did get a Clocky (though it wasn't mentioned by name).
James: Yeah, who do you think he is? Jared Fogle?
Mai, Axl, Rory: *gasps*
James: *unfazed* What? Too soon?
Yes, someone did it again. In reference to the former Subway pitchman.
(Part Eight)
Axl: Burger Queen? Hey, if you run into a blonde woman with glasses who's ordering about three bags full of burgers, don't mind her.
In reference to "Freezing". Satellizer's favorite food happens to be burgers.
Amy: Don't mind him if he also inhales his fork. Because it's fast
food, which is meant to be eaten fast.
Kyo K.: ...are you serious, Piko?
Amy: Yes, someone used that logic. Look it up.
Yes, someone did use that logic. It was a piece of a plastic fork from tne burger chain Wendy's.
(Part Nine)
Manic: Martial artist, art student, best singer ever, forsees
senators, gives inherited powers to Kyo and Iori, can remove Iori's ability to go Riot of the Blood,
warps characters to the point where they're no longer themselves, has a giant
group of people who do nothing but kiss her butt, and gets four guys to fall for
her? Yep, Mary Sue
extreme.

full of C's.
Rory: Hey!
Mai: Don't worry, Rory. With your grades, you just might qualify for
President of the United States.
Rory: *makes a face*
Mai is comparing Rory to George W. Bush.
Sonia: And then they seduced a Chinese officer who is known for her
dangerously strong kicks... oh, wait. Wrong fanfic.
Emi, Athena: *coughs*
Mai: I really don't want to know why you two coughed like that.
Kyo L.: I do.
Axl: Yeah, me too!
Athena: *quietly pushes Kyo L. away* No, you don't.
Emi: *as she pushes Axl away* Not now, Mr. James!
Reference to a discontinued fic that the editor wrote. Yes, what Sonia said happened in the fic. And the reason why Athena and Emi coughed? Well... there was a personal scene with the two of them.

Reference to the Simpsons episode "Jaws Wired Shut".

Oh, you should already know that Sonic's snarking on a certain Kardashian here.
Sonic: Well, see, Shi-en... when a mommy doesn't use protection and has plenty of friends around, she goes to America to play a little game show to find out who the winner will be... if there is a winner.
Sonic's referencing "Tohru's big birthday BASH".
