Haiyore! Nyarlko W Episode 2 Parody List

So, out of whim, I’ve decided to test my knowledge on anime/live action shows in Nyarlko episode.


I’ve done it the past with first several episodes of the 3rd season of Nyarlko and the last episode of Nyarlko W on commie’s IRC channel.

I know that someone else is keeping a nice log of parodies with pictures and detailed explanations, so I won’t try to be detailed on my list. Rather, this is like a scratch paper that I scribbled my thoughts on the parodies (and potential parodies) I found during watching the episode. (I’m just being lazy about making this look nice, but whatever)
Just skim through it and enjoy the wealth of useless knowledge that Nyarlko anime is packed with.

 

:Warnings:

(I ignore all the Cthulhu references, btw)
(also, if you can’t read the Japanese, just look at the time to match with the video. I don’t think I can translate them the way you will see on subtitle in video, so I just leave them be. You can use google image search on the term to get a sense out of it. )

So, here goes.

reference to the line in transformation sequence of Cure Peace in Smile Precure. The original line is ピカピカぴかりん じゃんけんポン♪ キュアピース!(pika pika pikarin jyanken pon♪ Cure Peace!) Also, サザエさん(sazae-san)’s preview also does じゃんけん~ (jyankenn)(rock-scissors-and-papers)  at the end of the preview. So I guess this is the mix of those two.

 
That’s all I could find from going through the episode once.

I’m sure I missed a bunch, but I’m sure other people will fill the rest in at somewhere else, along with nice pictures and thorough explanations for all of them.

    • That would be great. I probably should do them myself, but I’m getting increasingly lethargic.

      • It’s not my blog. Also this one doesn’t list Divi-Dead reference and that’s why that blog is superior.

        • >superior
          Do you really have to go that way? I’m writing up the notes for the last episodes of Nyarlko as we speak and I keep running into references that neither NyaruRef nor even ステマ mentioned.

  1. Here’s a reference I found:

    Dialogue: 0,0:10:27.02,0:10:29.08,Default,nyarko,0,0,0,,I failed.
    Dialogue: 0,0:10:29.08,0:10:31.31,Default,tamao,0,0,0,,I wonder what went wrong?
    Dialogue: 0,0:10:31.66,0:10:34.22,Default,nyarko,0,0,0,,Should I strengthen my Blast element
    Dialogue: 0,0:10:34.22,0:10:36.94,Default,nyarko,0,0,0,,and go for a partial explosion?

    This is a reference to Monster Hunter. Certain weapons have “blast element”, or “slime” in the English version. Basically, said weapons cover enemies with an explosive slime that blows up after awhile. The explosion can easily “break” parts of monster. Rather than “partial explosion”, I believe the line is referencing the breaking of monster parts. When you break monster parts, many of their attacks become less powerful or flat-out unusable. Since slime universally rapes everything, it turns the hardest of monsters into child’s play.

    tl;dr: slime/blast breaks parts; breaking parts makes shit easy so you won’t fail the quest (or in Nyarlko’s case, fail to get Mahiro’s affection).

  2. Dude you missing some part from kamen rider W
    since this is adapted the title from kamen rider W i bet it’ll be more kamen rider W’s parody
    well, 06:26 or so
    this part it obv from W, when mashiro tells some keyword like 3 words in a row was like what Shotaro hidari ( Main character of W ) did to Philip, he always asks philip when he got some clues and tell tell that exactly same like what mashiro did
    also the white library is philip’s vision when he searching some object to find refer from when shotaro has some clues then some white vision come like with white background, flying bookshelves etc
