*The backstory of [[Codename: Bakery Girl]] written by “Hannibal”, on which the world of Girls' Frontline is also based by way of the [[Confidential Files]], copied several elements from the short story ''A Colder War'' by Charles Stross.

**Relics reports in the Secret Documents and Confidential Files are titled after Old Ones from the Cthulu Mythos: Ammutseba, Aphoom-Zhah, Arwassa, Atlach-Nacha, Baoht Z'uqqa-Mogg, Basatan, Bokrug, Byatis and Chaugnar Faugn.

**The codename BOOJUM is from a monster of Lewis Caroll's ''The Hunting of the Snark''.

**The codename Koschei is from an evil wizard figure in Russian folk tales.

*Girls' Frontline

**In the third part of {{doll name|Type 64|SMG|4}}'s Neural Upgrade story, {{doll name|M99|RF|5}} quotes Lü Meng from the Book of Wu in the ''Records of the Three Kingdoms'': "A scholar's absence of three days thereafter must be viewed under new light" (士别三日当刮目相待). She uses the quote to praise Type 64's growth.

She uses the quote to praise Type 64's growth.

**In 8-3N, {{doll name|AUG|AR|5}} and {{doll name|IWS 2000|RF|5}} quote Plutarch on a conversation between Julius Caesar and the seer Spurinna, who had foreseen his assasination that day: “The Ides of March are come, Spurinna,” “Aye, Caesar; but not gone.” AUG uses the quote to invite IWS not to claim victory too soon, and IWS immediately notes that the quote is probably apocryphal anyway.

**[[Singularity]] opens with an extract of John Rawls' ''A Theory of Justice'': “The only thing that permits us to acquiesce in an erroneous theory is the lack of a better one; analogously, an injustice is tolerable only when it is necessary to avoid an even greater injustice. Being first virtues of human activities, truth and justice are uncompromising”. The quote could be a commentary on {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}}'s increasingly violent actions during this chapter.
