I wondered if that Mega Man reference was deliberate! I'm such a huge fan that I tend to see references that aren't there... but slipping a capitalized Wily and the words "break, man" into a line about a guy named Duo seemed like more than mere chance. (Was that all of them?)

Not quite. I also included a reference to Battle Network/NT Warrior. A hint: in the real Gundam Wing anime, Quatre actually did have twenty nine older sisters... but no brothers.
Ironically, that Mega Man reference was applied to Duo for a reason completely unrelated to his name. A hint: think of your member title: "Super Fighting Robot!"

In case you all were wondering (you were wondering, right?) about those references I mentioned, I thought I'd explain them.

And now for the TV Tropes references: At the end of the Gundam Wing series, it looked like Zechs died. But then he got better. Heero accidentally killed a girl, and her little dog too. (Of course, this is also a Wizard of Oz reference) Heero frequently says "I'll kill you!"; this is an ineffectual death threat. Finally, I turned Mariemaia into someone who wants Relena to die for her ship. (That page actually uses Relena as its chief example) Mariemaia also qualifies as a "shipper on deck" and a yaoi fangirl. This is to poke fun at the rampant hatred of Relena among the Gundam Wing fanbase, especially among the yaoi contingent. Just in case you were wondering, all these aspects of Mariemaia were invented for the fiver, the character in the actual movie is nothing like that. I'd also like to give credit for the lines I blatantly ripped from other fivers: "KABLAZMO!" "That probably wasn't the best time to bluff, was it?" "Everyone's entitled to one fatal mistake".

I wish I could muster the enthusiasm to shill for TV Tropes, but I just don't have it in me.
