I Was Quite a Looker: The elderly Commander of Dogoo used to be a very cute girl. In a heartwarming moment, the immortal and ageless St. Germain, who constantly hit on her when she was young, says he still sees her as that cute girl when he ran into her again after she had become old. | |

Power Perversion Potential: Robert Capa (Anush's) powers include the ability to create copies of people. Not only was he able to "motivate" Sio into aiming better during a training exercise by threatening to take a peek at "her" breasts, he was also able to make her copies pose for some swimsuit photos, to her understandable displeasure. | |

Government Conspiracy: The whole Jack the Ripper thing was a massive coverup by the government for what really happened. The murders were actually committed by secret intelligence agent Florence Nightingale in order to contain a man-made bacteriological weapon infected to the organs of the women she regretfully killed from spreading throughout all of Europe. | |

Nobunagun (Manga) / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: Both the DOGOO Commander and Saint-Germain. The Commander, while she does look elderly, is well over 1700 years old, thanks to numerous long periods of stasis during the collection of the E-genes, while Saint-Germain is around 1000 years old and heavily implied to be immortal. | |

Historical Domain Crossover: The E-Genes, the essence of famous figures ranging from Jack the Ripper to Oda Nobunaga to Mahatma Gandhi extracted at the point of death. Certain people in the present day have inherited these E-Genes and are able to draw out powers based on them (guns for Nobunaga, an axe for Geronimo, gravity control for Isaac Newton, etc.), while also communing with their spirit from time to time. | |

Nobunagun (Manga) / int_b0cd3349 | comment |
The creators definitely did their research into historical figures as shown by how the e-genes influence the behavior of their reincarnations, as a lot of the quirks are based on relatively-unknown facts, rumors, or stories about the historical figures. For example, Gandhi was known to love having sex before becoming the person he was known as, so his reincarnation is a playboy. Issac Newton was rumored to live a life of chastity, so it makes sense that his reincarnation is taking every opportunity he denied himself. This also explains why Jack the Ripper comes off as the most normal of the group early in the series. He doesn't show the quirky behavior that every other e-gene holder shows because the real Jack the Ripper was never found; no one knows what quirks the original Jack had, so current-day Jack ends off relatively normal. | |

Car Fu: Saint-Germain rams an Invasion Object in episode 9, though that's not enough to do more than distract it for a few seconds. He also spends the entire encounter complaining about having to total a car when the DOGOO budget is so tight. | |

Otaku: Sio is one for weapons. Her room is covered in model tanks and airplanes, and she has a camo-pattern filter, versus other girls' flower patterns, in some of the artsier shots. She's also capable of identifying various military weapons. | |

Shout-Out | |
Nobunagun (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the second episode, when people on the street are asked by a news show what they'd do if they were E-gene holders one man replies "There's a saying, you know: 'With great power comes great responsibility'." The conversation between Sio and Asao also refers directly to Gamera. Jack The Ripper has been compared to a another Jack The Ripper. The spiky silver hair, lower jaw plate on his face and his fondness for blades help a bit. Episode 6, with a remote science lab that's gone crazy during a blizzard, brings to mind The Thing (1982). Notice Dogoo's ships names - Alex Logan, Clayton Forrester, Ellen Ripley and Johnny Rico - definitely geared toward fighting aliens. The trend continues with Episode 12 and the Steven Hiller. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Florence Nightingale was the original Jack the Ripper. Florence Nightingale, of all people. Of course though, she was actually a secret intelligence agent protecting humanity from a man made bacteriological weapon that was injected into the organs of the women that she regretfully had to kill. | |

Hidden Buxom | |
Nobunagun (Manga) / int_f0e0e894 | comment |
Hidden Buxom: Possibly. When Sio was in training with Robert Capa, he made a number of mirror-image clones of Sio and tried to provoke her by unzipping one of the clone's track jackets, whereupon the clone was revealed to have a healthy D-cup. Later he uses the clones to do a fake photo shoot of Sio in a bikini for the soldiers and some helpful footnotes remark that the pictures were photoshopped, so it's unclear as to whether Capa was sincerely just screwing with her or if she's really hiding something underneath her usual attire. Downplayed, as it's revealed in episode 8 through a dream sequence that Sio does have an appreciable bust hidden underneath her usual wardrobe. It's just not as full as her clones (or Asao, for that matter). | |

Shown Their Work: In the final episode the true identity of the original Jack The Ripper is revealed and it's mentioned that the name came from a letter written by a journalist rather than Jack themselves. The creators definitely did their research into historical figures as shown by how the e-genes influence the behavior of their reincarnations, as a lot of the quirks are based on relatively-unknown facts, rumors, or stories about the historical figures. For example, Gandhi was known to love having sex before becoming the person he was known as, so his reincarnation is a playboy.
