 * When Sora shouts "objection" during the coronation scene, his speech and the music he plays on his smart phone references Phoenix Wright.
 * The Elderly official officiating the coronation bears resemblance to the judge from Ace Attorney series.
 * The coronation took place at King City, which is located in the first district of the Elchea's central region.
 * While traveling on the coach to the chess arena, Sora and Shiro (while talking with Dola Stephanie and Zell Kurami) paraphrases the most famous line from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 character Kishibe Rohan:  "But I refuse... The favorite thing Kishibe Rohan likes to do is to say 「NO」 to arrogant people.", while both are drawn in Hirohiko Araki's Part 4 Style with the characteristic SFX in the background.
 * Sora imitates the defense attorneys (and most prosecutors) in the Ace Attorney series. Especially in voicing his complete with the white bubble and red text. Lampshaded by him holding out his cellphone that's playing a remixed "Cornered" theme of the same series. The herald(?) looks similar to the Ace Attorney judge.
