Dark Is Not Evil: In a surprise for Disney, you can use Dark Spectrobes, which are pretty much PaletteSwapped versions of other Spectrobes, with a bit more strength.Cutscene Power to the Max: Rallen, at the end of Portals, does some sort of Diagonal Cut to Krux, defeating the most powerful being in the universe.In Portals you can purchase parts that make your ship basically a modern version of it, and Rallen and Jeena's patrol cruiser and Commander Grant's in Origins have the same design. Continuity Nod: After you obtain the Ancient Ship in the first game, it becomes apparent that the NPP is actively reverse engineering it.Chosen One: Rallen is the only one who can wake the Spectrobes.Rallen's are brown, while Jeena has pink ears that match her pink hair. Cat Folk: The secret card-only Cat's Paw weapons in Origins make Rallen and Jenna gain cat ears and paws.Catchphrase: "Iku Ze!" (Let's go!) and "Honki de Iku Ze!" (Let's go for real!).Casting a Shadow: Jado's shadow is alive, and fights along with him.Though you have to wonder how they even got those pictures. The Cameo: The four High Krawl under Krux, three of which are dead, show up briefly in mug shots in the opening sequence of Origins.Bonus Boss: Origins has the Legendary Krawl Darkroe, which can only be fought after beating the game once.Example: "Komainu" can mean "lion dog", and a komainu is a creature in Japanese mythology that protects shrines. A lot of the Spectrobes' names have Japanese meanings or roots.Meido, the epicenter of the Krawl outbreak in the first game, is the Land of the Dead in Buddhism.Fitting as the system itself has no sun, and the only planet in it, Hyoga, is mostly ice (the "hyo" in Hyoga also means "ice"). Fubuki, another star system in the first sequel, means "blizzard".Rallen actually indirectly points this out in Portals, because the star in Nanairo really does shine in seven different colors. "Nanairo", the name of the star system where the first two games take place, can be translated as "Seven Colors" in Japanese.Sadly, it's only raining in the outside world. Battle in the Rain: Rallen's first fight with the Spectrobes.
