The Ultimate Battleborn References Thread!

Forgot I had made this topic!

Sometimes at the beginning of an Incursion match, the home sentry will say “ALRIGHT! Anime convention!” as the team runs by him, this is a reference to several of the voice actors in BB being voice actors for FUNimation, including Elizabeth Maxwell (Phoebe) and Christopher Sabat (Rath) though he particularly singles out Rath. I think he ends by saying “Oh, never mind it’s just Rath”

@EdenSophia another Dragon Ball Z reference, sometimes when Rath runs by the sentry he’ll say “do the catchphrase” but he gets it wrong, I think he says something like “You know, IT’S AFTER NINE THIRTY!” referencing “IT’S OVER NINE THOUSAND!” (Vegeta on Goku’s power level)

My GF especially loves all the DBZ references in the game. She can watch Reyna go Super Saiyan forever, haha

[Slif_One (Master of Amara, Widower of Maya)]

It is a cool taunt, but it belongs on Montana (Not because he’s a man, but because he’s BUFF)

Though I guess Reyna is buff, or at least her thighs are…

Edit: Speaking of DB, I just downloaded episode 62 of DBS. Does your girlfriend watch it?

[EdenSophia (The Red Bar Observer)]

We are going to watch Super together someday. She wants it in the original Japanese, and I’m not sure how easy it is to get hold of…

And don’t question Reyna’s worthiness. After Mellka and Ambra, she’s definitely the third most dreamy Battleborn for me (not counting Gali’s voice, which is a force in its own right)

[Slif_One (Master of Amara, Widower of Maya)]

I watch it in Japanese with English subs, been watching it week by week.

No way, Phoebe and Deande are the babes of Battleborn

This thread is going to have a very long list, but make sure to include the reference to Me(ntalMarmot) & @Psychichazard that are hidden in the lore

[Slif_One (Master of Amara, Widower of Maya)]

There’s a reference to PH? I had not seen that before, where/what is it?

[derk257]

My friend pointed out a rather obscure reference. In the show Trailer Park Boys, Bubbles has a wrestling persona called the Green Bastard. His tag line is “Green Bastard, from parts unknown!” El Dragón’s green skin is called ‘parts unknown’

[Psychichazard (All out of kittens.)]

In Marquis’ lore…

And yes, I’m more than proud about this.

I had forgotten about this thread!

Serious gold here!

@Slif_One

Voice actors are probably the most under-rated / under-appreciated people in the entire entertainment industry.

Also, Rath’s Platinum and uber-pink “Anime Convention” Skin must be referencing this also.

@derk257

Can’t believe i didnt notice that, love TPB!

Not trying to be offensive, but Alani’s “Sploooooooosh!” combat line may be an Archer (awesome animated spy comedy, very adult), as it is something many of the female characters say when they get…er…umm…aroused?

[Slif_One (Master of Amara, Widower of Maya)]

Damn it, now I’ll have to play as Marquis

You may be right, people seldom now their names and I’ll admit I’m not too savvy on many or what their works are, but they do do a damn good job! It can’t be easy to synchronise speech with animated mouth movements, particularly when it comes to dubbing!

Japan, it never stops getting weirder. I saw a clip on Facebook… No, I wont talk about that here…

[postlifesyndrome (Cosmic Castaway)]

I don’t know if you’ve watched Super yet, but prepare for disappointment my friend. Lots of dropping the ball.

[RayLightning]

Dragon Ball super is amazing! Except all the BS future trunks did… that doesn’t count… Can’t wait for the upcoming Arc!

[postlifesyndrome (Cosmic Castaway)]

Alright, I’ll try again. Understand that I want to like it, but last time I watched it I got bored and discovered JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Also, I saw your comment change as you edited it, and that was pretty funny. I remember my first reaction to Trunks in Z was “■■■■■■’ Mary Sue.”

That’s enough of that though. Let’s not turn this into the anime discussion thread. I know I was the one who changed the subject, but…uh…Battleborn is an awesome game. There. Still on subject.

[RayLightning]

Yeah needed to add the bs future trunks part which I did not like lol

Superior anime right there
