* '''[[wp:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]''': The video game merchandise is an obvious parody of the Final Fantasy games. Also, Sword Boy's androgynous appearance, large sword, and moody demeanor parody [[wp:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]] protagonist [[wp:Cloud Strife|Cloud Strife]]. | * '''[[wp:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]''': The video game merchandise is an obvious parody of the Final Fantasy games.

* '''[[wp:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]]''': | * '''[[wp:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]]''': An elderly woman is mugged by a superpowered blonde male bearing extreme resemblance to one of Dragon Ball's "Saiyan" characters, particularly [[wp:Son_Goku_(Dragon_Ball)|Goku]]. | ||
* '''[[wp:Pokémon|Pokémon]]''': Saki is partially inspired by Pikachu, who was, at least in the beginning of the series, a "cute, but utterly useless sidekick", heavily exploited for merchandising. PRB's "naturally pink hair" could be a reference to Jessie, an antagonist sporting outrageously large pink hair. Her partner, James, is an almost inappropriately effeminate male, much like Sword Boy. | * '''[[wp:Pokémon|Pokémon]]''': Saki is partially inspired by Pikachu, who was, at least in the beginning of the series, a "cute, but utterly useless sidekick", heavily exploited for merchandising.

* '''[[wp:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]] and [[wp:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]''': A group of rainbow-colored warriors are seen battling a giant monster/robot at the start of the show; however, most Sentai and Power Ranger teams typically do not have jetpacks for all its members. | * '''[[wp:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]] and [[wp:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]''': A group of rainbow-colored warriors are seen battling a giant monster/robot at the start of the show; however, most Sentai and Power Ranger teams typically do not have jetpacks for all its members. | ||

* '''Master Hentai''': PRB's sensei. | * '''Master Hentai''': PRB's sensei. A wise but perverted old martial arts master, he trains PRB after her ninja parents leave her on his doorstep. He tells PRB that she must train in skimpy clothing for [[Princessrobotbubblegum.com|merchandising purposes]]. It is revealed that Master Hentai is a pedophile (after "an innocent swimming lesson" which resulted in his arrest and the addition of a blue dot being added over his house on an online predator database), his forehead is shaped like a buttocks and his cane is shaped like a penis. His name refers to the aforementioned pornographic anime. | ||

* '''Saki''': PRB's alcoholic and drug abusing floating animal sidekick. He is seen drinking a malt beverage, then promptly vomiting in Master Hentai's dojo, peeing in the graveyard scene, and overdosing on a speedball during the final fight sequence. His name refers the [[wp:sake|Japanese alcoholic rice beverage]] of the same name. | * '''Saki''': PRB's alcoholic and drug abusing floating animal sidekick.
