Reference in Yugioh, a kids show about selling toys: This filler arc is based off of the fall of Atlantis and society catastrophe. The dragons are named after the later dialogues of Plato. Critias, Timaeus, and Hermocrates are reborn as heroes that can transform into dragons and are used to sink Atlantis once more, just like in the real classical Greek literature that shares their namesakes.

Reference in Skullgirls, a fighting game made by "the greatest minds" in the western indie dev space: LMFAOOOOOO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FUCKIN BASED? WE'RE FINNABOUTTA COPY MILLIA FROM GUILTY GEAR... AND CHANGE THE M TO AN F. M TO F. LIKE TRANNIES!!!! FILIA!!!! AND THEN SHE GROWS SOME ANTENNA FOR ONE SUPER, YELLS OUT HENSHIN LIKE KAMEN RIDER, AND THEN HER PARASITE SAYS GREGOR SAMPSON AS A CORRUPTION OF GREGOR SAMSA LIKE THE METAMORPHOSIS.
