Just to clarify, I focus on Omniverse in this video as that series was basically built around references and parodies, so I did not cover references that originated from the previous three shows, like Professor Paradox and Will Harangue. Patelliday is an exception because he was expanded upon exponentially in Omniverse, so I count him as an Omniverse character. If you'd like to see me cover references from the previous three series, let me know!

There’s also the fact that Way Big is a clear homage to the Tokusatsu superhero Ultraman and his ultimate form is a homage to Ultraman Tauro.
Makes Sense, i mean he *IS* a Toku' *Star*
I feel it's very ironic than an Ultraman fan such as myself has missed this.
I think ultimate waybig looks more like ultraman tiga
I checked ultraman zero first aired in July 25 2017 a few years after ultimate way big showed up in Ben 10 ultimate alien finale so it was ultraman tiga they reference thou I don't know if there were any ultraman that had red and blue as a color scheme
taro*
I just realized a lot of the retcons in omniverse could be explained by Ben remaking the universe in episode 7.
The Alien X thing.
Abrán Romero that's what a lot of people go with but it doesn't cover everything.
And probably the Time War as well
Or the celestialsapiens
Yeah and when the Alien X's take him to court its revealed they're responsible for the changes in art style and voices in the shows universe so that could explain so other reckons
@obliterator deathcon 4 yeah. It's a pretty smart idea to explain and inconsistentcess
Ben 10 Omniverse sure has a lot of anime references, no wonder the show became a harem in the episode "The Most Dangerous Game Show"
I'm a person who actually enjoyed Omniverse and this video just made me like it more thanks kuro
Doctor Tron same
Greenherring 10 nice to see we share the same opinion
me too
Yup
Doctor Tron same I love you all who said same I thought I was the only one
Omniverse has the best easter eggs and culture references, I mean they even said during Universe vs Tennsyon trial that celestialsapiens always alter reality and usually changes how things are supposed to be, Referencing why the change of artstyle happens in every series
There's also a reference to teen titans. When Ben eats chilli fries from under town, he realized that chips are actually worms, and those worms are resembling Silky (Starfire's pet)
I never had a big problem with Omniverse to begin with, but the AF and UA era was always my favourite. However, as I'm currently rewatching all 4 Ben 10 classic series, I'm starting to appreciate Omniverse a lot more:
I find the art style charming rather than something to "get over", the theme tune more fun than annoying, and most of the alien redesigns are cool. The only thing I really still have an issue with is Big Chill's look with his cloak folded (he used to look cool as a sleek specter), and the mess they made of Kevin's origin story (retconning his entire species and possibly his dad out of existence). And that's pretty forgivable, since Omniverse gave us so many other cool moments.
At this point, Omniverse might even be my favourite of the 4 series.
I mostly agree, except I wish think the show was too afraid to take itself seriously, which disappoints.
I totally agree!
Same.
(maybe it's just because I'm too young, I got to see the series in its time, but don't confuse what I'm saying, I've watched Ben 10 since the original series at the beginning of the last decade on open television channels in my country, during that time I have seen Ben 10 from the original and Alien Force after Omniverse was the first series of the franchise that I saw on his home channel)
Aliens grow as ben grows. Every alien is same years old as ben. So, that's why big chil looks different cause ben grew older
@@SamirSiraj8542 ironically, in one chapter of Omniverse Ben has a flashback where he was in the days of the Alien Force where he was chasing an Alien DN and to reach it he used big chill with his Omniverse redesign xd
I'm surprised no one caught that "I can haz cheeseburger" reference in the no watch Ben debut episode
The Lady: WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY CAT HAS DIABEETUS?
Rook finding that meme was adorable lol
"Look this one wishes to haz cheeseburger"
I was really surprised with how many references I missed especially The Doctor Who ones.
Another high quality amazing video Kuro as always I can't wait for the next one. #keepitfizzy!
Gothams Gamer 2.0 is
Some other possible Easter eggs may or may not have knew
*Jimmy Jones= Jimmy Olson
*Will Harange, grown up Jimmy =J. Jonah Jameson
* Billy Billions = Klarion the Witch Boy
*Collectimus = the Collecter
* Chrono Spanner is based on Ultra Ben and Power Rangers
*One of the Way Bad's resembles EVA Unit. 1 from Neon Genesis Evangelion
*The Saturdays outfits are based off of the plug suits from Neon Genesis too.
Gothams Gamer 2.0 Do you watch danny phantom
Gothams Gamer 2.0 there was that moment when Ben turned into Bulfrag and he said to his apperent prisoners "rebel scum" obvious reference to star wars
Ye Whovians forever
4:29 The title of the episode is also a reference to the film an American werewolf in London
In the season 8 episode "Malgax Attacks", when Ben is fighting Malgax as Whampire, and losing, Max opens a comm-link to Galvan Prime, for Ben to talk to the parasitic Skurd, whom he had just removed from the omnitrix after being annoyed. Ben (as Whampire) appears as a hologram before Skurd in the museum at Galvan Prime, and says "If you're listening to this... Help me Skurd, the Slimebiote. You're my only hope".
A clear tribute to "Star Wars: A New Hope", when the pre-recorded message by Leia appeared as a hologram on Tattoine, with her saying "Help me Obi-Wan-Kenobi. You're my only hope."
A few more references and easter eggs:
1) The premise of the entire episode of "Simple" (two opposing "red" and "blue" armies fighting over their plain land over a ridiculous goal until someone from outside intervenes with their problem makes things different) is basically based on Red vs Blue
2) The relationship between Eon and Paradox basically mirrors that of the Master and the Doctor
3) Eon being an alternate version of a hero who hunts down other versions of himself to become powerful was the premise of "The One"
4) Pierce, Helen, Manny, Alan and Cooper are basically, in a way, Ben's most utilized aliens when he was a kid. Manny, Helen and Alan are obvious, but Pierce represents Diamondhead for being a well rounded fighter who can shoot spikes/shards and create bladed weapons from his arms and Cooper is Upgrade, for obvious reasons
5) Malware seems to be based on Alpha Omega from Ben 10/Gen Rex crossover, for being a living mechanical organism that absorbs technology to improve himself and has a bitter relationship with his father/creator (Azmuth and Caesar) and even his own "siblings" (other Mecomorphs and EVOs)
Jinx The Babe Cannon yeah but most of them aren't from OV
Jinx The Babe Cannon And even more transformers are in the show
Also a Metal Gear alerted sound in an episode where Animo introduced his hacker-bugs.
You also missed that the episode "The American Benwolf in London" was actually a reference to the 1980"s werewolf movie "The American Werewolf in London".
Jinx The Babe Cannon also when fistina has the “infinity gauntlet”
1:43 Ahh, I see you're a man of culture as well Kuro
Sappy can you link me the show?
Alexei H. let me guess it has soft porn
@@Shidetsa Watch it to find out
@M1N0TAUR from Poland not based
Another reference I think is worth noting- One of the alternate Ben’s, Benzarro, speaks and acts very similarly to Bizarro from DC Comics. Not to mention his line in “And Then There Were None”, “Ben Smash!” Is a reference to the Hulk’s famous catchphrase, “Hulk Smash!”
what episode was that in
“And Then There Were None”
Yeah!
@@ericsanders3210 bruh
4:12,As a TF and Ben Ten fan that timeframe really made me happy
So many References I love omniverse even more !!!
Greenherring 10 same
Same its my favorite outta them all
you missed when Ben said "boring conversation anyway" mimicking Han solo fro star wars. it was in one of the season 3 incursion episode
The alien Waybig is a direct reference to Ultraman. Even the alien species is caller To’Kustar. “To’ku referring to tokusatsu, or in short, “toku” and Ultraman is a toku star. Waybig is a To’kustar
Your right
Way big's lazer pose is just like ultra man's
@@TheTrueVeteran ik lol
I'm curious if Toku'star has their own father of Ultra or maybe a sub species of smaller species that resemble kamen Rider's or Sentai?
Personally, Omniverse was my favorite series out of the original continuity. I liked the humor and art design of the series. Not to mention it probably had the BEST score out of the OG continuity
And don't forget the anime face expressions
Mystery Incorporeal!'s title is also a reference to Scooby Doo!: Mystery Incorporated.
He said that?
I'm just gonna list off some of the references in Omniverse I caught onto.
- Gutrot's voice is modeled after Colombo, the titular character to the Columbo television series.
- Benzarro is a reference to Bizarro, a backwards version of Superman.
- the third girl in the cloak that bums around with "Raven" and "Jinx" looks exactly like Stocking from Panty & Stocking.
- Malware's design and color scheme is based on the demons from Panty & Stocking
- The title of the episode "Something Zombozo This Way Comes" is a reference to the Ray Bradbury novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes.
- The scene where the Transylian girl gives Ben a flower in "Rad Monster Party" is a reference to the iconic scene from the original Frankenstein's Monster film, only the roles are obviously reversed with the monster trying to befriend the human
"Fight at the Museum" is a reference to the movie "Night at the Museum"
Also in the same scene at 6:15 the roar from that cat thing is the same roar from battle cat from he-man
Some other Easter Eggs I noticed
*Jimmy Jones= Jimmy Olson
*Will Harange, grown up Jimmy =J. Jonah Jameson
* Billy Billions = Klarion the Witch Boy
*Collectimus = the Collecter
* Chrono Spanner is based on Ultra Ben and Power Rangers
*One of the Way Bad's resembles EVA Unit. 1 from Neon Genesis Evangelion
*The Saturdays outfits are based off of the plug suits from Neon Genesis too.
I'd say that Spanner represents Kamen Rider more
@@theredguy4043 I agree with all that, however the name "Billy Billions" and a robot lady immediatly referred to Richie Rich and his robot maid Irona.
is there a universe where grandpa Max is grandpa Rick and Ben 10 is Morty 10?
Just a Robot
If only. That would be the best spinoff.
Only Rick himself would know.
knowing Rick, he probably already made the Omnitrix himself in another universe. because apparently, he can basically do anything
I imagine rick would end up stealing the omnitrix while morty is sleeping
Well, with infinite realities it is certainly possible......... in not a definite Yes, but I wouldn't expect us to be able to see it any time soon.... if ever.
This list made me love Omniverse even more
2:40 no, he's Howard the Duck if he was Han Solo.
4:29 and the title is a reference to "An American Werewolf in London".
5:01 SONIC Screwdriver.
5:29 and the title is a reference to "Scooby Doo Mistery Incorporated".
And Ultimate Rath looks like Kraven from Spectacular Spiderman after he transformed into a cat person.
How does his voice somehow seem deeper in this video from 3 years ago versus present day
Time Travel.
@Gamerboi10 he meant references specifically in Omniverse. Waybig originated from the OG series.
Gutrot is also a huge reference to columbo as he has a similar voice, speach patterns and also says his iconic "another question" line
yeah a lot of people don't know this, he also points out his finger while saying "one more thing"
I wasn't the biggest fan of omniverse, but I always loved the references and some of the aliens they added.
I liked omniverse, the Easter eggs and parodies were such a strong point of the series
Omniverse is a masterpiece in my opinion, underrated af though, I think it should of been appreciated in the sense of shows such as teen titans though, which is a similar show in tone
I strongly believe that if the show was drawn like the first three seasons, it would've 1000% been more accepted by everyone. I'm one of those people who didn't watch omniverse because the change of art style.
@@BibahMax just to let you know, by not watching omniverse, people like are the reason we'll never get another Ben 10 serie related to the first 4 ones
@@ilyassebenana3824 i didnt watch omniverse when it first aired because 12 year old me missed how the original Ben 10 used to look, so i just never watched it. I didn't even realize the story of omniverse was canon and actually important until two months ago. Since then, I've watched omniverse and it was really good. But no, people who didn't watch omniverse arent the reason why there wont be another good Ben 10 series. If CN wanted to , they could.
@@BibahMax You have been enlightened by watching Ben 10: Omniverse.
Am I the only one that wants a show about ben and the crew travelling the universe after omniverse?
What about the obvious parody of Will Harangue and Jay Jonah Jameson. And Jimmy's full name if strikingly similar
And don't forget Khyber and Rath's fight as it references Looney Tunes with "Khyber Season!" "Rath Season!"
Wait so DW and B10 exist in the same universe?
Oh god imagine THAT crossover...
Stylish Yak technically, Ben 10 Omniverse can crossover with any other show and be within cannon
Like Generator Rex
@@DrM1nd3nd3r also Secret Saturdays
You forgot the Rath and Khyber battle where the go back and forth saying "Rath Season! Khyber Season!". Parodying Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck famous Duck season Wabbit Season
"KYBER SEASON" " RATH SEASON" "KYBER SEASON" "RATH SEASON", and "help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" reference
I like how you knew all the obscure references, even from old black and white movies, but you don't know what Panty & Stocking is.
2:53 Hamenahamena ha - khamehame ha
There was an episode (can’t remember which one sadly) where Thunderpig basically quotes that famous “Hello, my name is” line from Princess Bride, and shortly later, Ben also references the movie by saying “You keep saying that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” That said, Kevin also references The Princess Bride in the Alien Force (or was it Ultimate Alien?) episode where he went after Ragnarok.
"A TARDIS on the corner of the street." Or. Ya know. A phone booth.
Yeah...that was pretty cringe....
A phone booth is the Average thing to call it
are phone booths blue?
Omniverse was not too bad, Just look at the reboot
2:48 Says it's a bit of a stretch when it's the least stretched one.
You missed one!
Spidermonkey's New Art Style is basically a Parody of both Spider-Man and Logan/Wolverine! 😂
Oh! And in the Omniverse Series Finale Maltruent called XLR8 a Speedster!
Is that a Flash/Quicksilver Reference!? 😂
No, the word speedster is defined as "something or someone that operates at high speed"
A plane would be a speedster, a car would be too.
Oh! And I almost forgot!
Is it just me or is Charmcaster's Magic Symbol looks just like the Kingdom Hearts logo!? lol 😂
You never know.
The term Speedster is simply use to describe something that moves fast.
At a big stretch speedster is a reference to the internet term used to describe characters whose specific superpower is super speed in some way.
It is not exclusive to the flash and quicksilver
You can also refer to Rooks tail in arrested development as a reference to dragon ball z when sayians have tails as kids.
Just putting these out there as possibillities:
Billy Billions is possibly a reference to Richie Rich, seeing as they are both stupidly wealthy, and a have a female robot companion.
Kangaroo Kommando, i think, may be a reference to Captain Kangaroo. Little loose, I know, but I feel it could work.
Might require a mental stretch or two, but the Incursions could be a refernce to the Toad empire from Bucky O' Hare.
While Skurd was attached to the omnitrix, and Ben transformed into Rath, he basically became a luchador.
I love that Ditto is basically just a Warner Bros. character as an alien
DITTO... also named after POKEMON 🤣
Ditto means the same thing
This is becoming one of my favourite series, period, on youtube
Wat about in the first Ben 10 the Christmas ep they show konohamaru and his gang from naruto
letmme' check
I recently was rewatching them episode and do recall what your talking about. Their grandfather even resembles the 3rd Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi who was Konohamaru's grandfather.
He talk about omniverse not the others series
I love when animated shows do this stuff. Shows the animators writers artists are all just big nerdy fans like the rest of us. Shows what inspired or motivated them.
I was almost 100% sure that Dr.Jekyl & Mr.Hyde would made it to the list XD
That was more of a plot point than a reference, but I considered it.
In the episode “Third Times The Charm” when Charmcaster transforms into that dragon it’s a reference to Disney’s Maleficent how she turns into a Dragon too.
I did not realize that one with the Voice actors thing you brought up........... But I did know that Vilgax and Bill Gax had the same voice actor, those two being similar was kinda the whole thing with him.
My favorite Ben 10 Easter egg that wasn’t mention in this video is Ben’s room in the episode where no watch Ben goes to recruit Ben prime. That room is full of Easter eggs! Ben’s AF/UA jacket, the CN checker logo, war flags from alien species he’s beaten, transformer toys, Ben 10 sumo slammer toys that were real products you could buy, his hover board, a vilgax sticker, a picture of ester, a poster of the Beatles, & I’m sure there’s more I just haven’t seen.
Personally I like the references, people says it's lazy or just plain ripping off but keep in mind the Man of Action team are comic book fans, they were inspired to create Ben Ten because of these comic books and other shows so they reference it as much as they can
Here's a trace the border idea!
What if the entire Ben 10 Franchise didn't make the reboot, but an ACTUAL SPIN-OFF series about lets say Jonesy or Kevin Finding the Omnitrix before Ben ever could in the Original Series Premiere Episode? How would things Pan out? What kinds of new adventures could we see from these What If Potential Filled Spin off Series?
A Gwen 10 series would also be interesting.
so kev 10
Shadow Vlogs Kevin would be interesting, but not jonesy, he's so insignificant
I'm surprised that a Gwen 10 series never came to fruition in this day of feminization of all media. Lol
I would have watched that unless it used the art style of the Ben10 reboot...
You forgot about professor paradox as a reference to the doctor for doctor who.
Barry Bend read the description
Do alien voices count? Such as how Gutrot is Peter Falk’s Colombo (confirmed by creators) even down to the ‘just one more thing’. Or Bullfrag is Sylvester Stallone (also confirmed).
Unpopular opinion,I love Ben 10 omniverse. I don't know why, but its has that fun and goofiness charm from the original series. But I wish they did more with vilgax especially with his human counterpart. Lastly I like the artstyle. I rather the omniverse artstyle than the reboots artstyle.
Yeah and they also introduce us to a new cool character Rook Blonko
Omniverse is my favourite show of all time
1:43 high impact sexual violence
FoneyBone1
what in hell is your profile picture from I remember it but I don't just UHHHHHG
The Bone comics by Jeff Smith.
Watch Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt if you want, it's really funny.
Dislike for for not knowing panty and stocking
No, it's really.
Fanservice is the only thing is good at, it's filled with poop jokes, and there's even a scene with panty just taking a shit, almost everyone is a horrible character, especially the titular characters and many more
The artstyle from that show is great
2:26 I always thought that was more of a geodude reference
In the Ben 10 Omniverse episode "Collect This", Deefus makes a reference to how he was able to make Vulpimancers cry with his performance of "Old Smeller", a reference to Old Yeller.
GaraToast? 2:20
it must be delicious, maybe that's why he was being fished
Today isthe fifth anniversary of generator Rex last episode
why it die? hwy man of action series die so fast?
Yeah
I want it back bro
I miss it
Rad Dudesman is also a reference to Rocket Racoon.
Prismorbe Flash Both are hilarious, based on real life animals, yet Rocket’s cuter.
yeah he is a mix of both racoon and solo
Hey Kuro can you do like a top 10 or 15 of your favorite aliens from all Ben 10 shows?
So TFA may be cannon? In another universe or it's an alternate future and Kyber may be a timetraveler?
When upgrade upgraded Kevin's car it looked similar to optimus prime
I wish Ben 10 could come in Marvel franchise as cartoon of both series are made under MAN OF ACTION
7:00 Steve Blum and Tara Strong also played supporting characters in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as Galvez and Paz respectively.
You missed one, in episode 5-6 there's a reference to the original Frankenstein movie from 1931, when the little girl tries to give Ben a flower and then he knocks her into the pond, in Frankenstein he befriends a little girl for a few minutes before accidentally drowning her in a pond.
2:20 that blew my mind
2:42 I would rather say Howard the Duck from marvel rather than Han Solo just saying
That isn't just a weeping angel in a garden, everything from the angel down seems to be a replication of the cemetery where Amy and Rory were sent back in time
Cool video!Pleas make more facts/easter egg videos of Ben 10 or Danny Phantom.
CHAD OMNIVERSE > virgin ultimate alien
I discovered and recognized most of the Easter eggs and references back when I watched this show, but I didn't recognize some of the hidden ones when I watched this video.
You forgot one reference when albedo turns into ultimate rath he has a similar design to Kraven the hunter from marvel’s spiderman
I love 5 years later
I read it too, it’s one of the best crossovers ever, like ben10 generator Rex Heroes United and Jimmy Timmy power hour
Omniverse is a masterpiece compared to the ben 10 reboot
It's always a masterpiece 🤦🏿♂️
You missed the biggest pardoy/easter egg. Ditto is voiced by Rob Paulsen, who also voices Yakko Warner of The Animaniacs. Most likely Ditto is meant to be a parody of the Animaniacs as they share similar designs, have a ton of cartoon references and the duplicates work off of each other much like Yakko, Wacko and Dot.
Just wanted to say that I love 5 Years Later and can’t wait for the next chapter!
Please let Thundercats 2011 finish! Every other cancelled CN show wrapped up
OreOh YayYeah CN *clicks reboot button*
The one with Ditto refferencing Bugs Bunny is made even more clever when you realize that Ditto's design is loosely based off of the animaniacs, his voice in Omniverse even paying homage to the iconic way they spoke
you forgot the golden fist from ben 10 omniverse that looks like thanos infinity Gauntlet
1:08...ohhhh....so the Wizard was Mumbo.....no wonder he sounded really annoying..>:(
This probably gonna get lost in the comments but if you see this I just want to know are doing the Ben 10 with kryptonion DNA vid?
You always make a left turn at Albuquerque.
6:50
Wow I never noticed, they are really the old voice actors. I recognise... I RECOGNISE 😃😃😃😃
in the episode where Albedo gained his ultimate form. there was a scene where Albedo ultra intelligence got him to understand how meaningless his grudge against his master was.
that was an reference to the movie all star superman where lex luthor drank a serum that gave him superman's power and once he could saw what superman saw he began to understand that the petty conflict on earth is meaningless in the grand scheme of thing.
the ultimate feature on the ultimatrix is a nod to the creation of doomsday. pitting a lifeform into an ultra hostile environment and force them to evolve into the most combat oriented version of themselves.
Voice of Tigger, Jim Cummings also played an Applplexion
One of my favorite parodies that you missed was in 'The Vengers' (I think) Will Harangue has a small outburst, shouting "NO, I SAID WE'LL DO IT LIVE. WE'LL DO IT LIVE" A reference to the famous Bill O'Reilly outburst.
The best ben 10 youtuber...glad someone brought it back on social media.
Another great video Kuro! You always make me feel enlightened after your videos
Also Sunder is based off several villains from Marvel Comics. His general design resembles Terrax who is a herald of Galactus whereas his glider is modeled after the Goblin Glider used by the Green Goblin.
One you missed was in the original series where 3 kids visually spoofing the academy kids from Naruto
As always, wonderful video Kuro!
You forgot when u see anything construction vehicles the mimic the colors of g1 constructicons
