References

=References/Reoccurring Themes=
Crimson, OverShadowed and the Crimsonverse have plenty of references and it's own tropes, whether those be well known things like Halo, extremely hyper specific references that no one even thinks about or shit that appears and seems to keep coming up, like Ame Matoi's obsession with PKMN Leila, scarves and track jacket motifs.
==Kill la Kill==
Kill la Kill has an extremely heavy influence on Crimson, being the sole reason why it even exists in the first place. If there was no Kill la Kill, there would be no Crimson.
* Ame Soria immediately resembles Ryuko Matoi's likeness, often being recognized for it. Very early in Crimson's life, Ame has the Matoi last name.
* Amanda resembles Satsuki Kiryuin, her hair style is nearly identical. Long ago, Amanda's last name was Kiryuin.
* Amanda did have access to Satsuki's Bakuzan katana and the Junketsu kamui.
* Senketsu was a character in Crimson during it's early life. For some reason, Ame Matoi thought that jackets that talk were peak writing, as every story (mostly fanfiction) he wrote prior to Crimson involved a talking jacket in some way or form. Senketsu was retconned out in the 1st version of Crimson (which is fully complete) midway through the story. Senketsu's existence is now only in the Crimsonverse in the ALT72 universe.
* The S2013 scissor blade, which in former versions of Crimson took on the same form as it did in Kill la Kill. Now, it takes a gut knife shaped blade. Michael's scissor blade takes on the same form from the anime.
* Senketsu's eye is seen across the mainline story and in the Crimsonverse, for example PKMN Ame's hat. Senketsu's mouth design is also seen on the mask of Denise's heist outfit, which is the same mask that Lelia wears for her Champion uniform.
* On Ame's right wrist, there is a Senketsu eye birthmark.
* The Seki Tekko, a glove used by Ryuko to transform into Synchronize mode, is seen being worn on PKMN Ame in all of her outfits, however instead of being on the right hand, it is worn on her dominant throwing hand. For Michael, he wears it on the same hand Ryuko wears it on.
* Senketsu takes on a jacket appearance in ALTERNATE, he has the same color scheme he did in Kill la Kill. In older artwork for Michael, the jacket had a black appearance that was used for a while. 
* The Life Fiber design seems to keep showing up sometimes in artwork.
* On SCIBER77 Ame's jacket, Senketsu's eye is seen.
* In the UIL version of Fake Gangsters, Senketsu's eye is seen graffitied on the street's asphalt. 
== Numerical Themes ==
This section notes numbers that Ame Matoi has a fascination for.
* 117 is a number that appears in various parts of Crimson. In the mainline story, Ame Soria's apartment number is 117. In Pokémon Crimson, the number on PKMN Ame's uniform, as well as her trainer ID has the number 117 on it. Before Ame's birthday was officially confirmed, she was born on January 17, which is 1-17.
* 177013 ironically and frequently appears across all of the franchise. In OverShadowed Chapter 2, the song playing is called 177013 by Metamorphosis, which is a direct reference to the infamous manga. Ame's Mercenary League ID tag is AS-0771, which when the numbers are placed backwards, they yield 1770. The home universe of the Crimson animations is A1770.
* Throughout Crimson, the time never lands on 5's or 0's (e.g, 3:12 PM) always on the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. This doesn't mean that times like 5:56 PM, which has a 5 in it, are avoided, as the number needs to end with 5 or 0 for it to be avoided. The only exception is 4:20.
