Mecha gains enormous power, turns red.

The climax of "Full Swing" seems to be a direct descendant of Neon Genesis Evangelion's Sahaquiel fight. The "transformation" element of the hurtling object changing form as pieces break off was in FLCL first, then was reappropriated for 2.0.


EDIT: Ah, right! The ending!

SPOILER: Show

Wings


Environment turns red, stuff starts to float as people look up in shock


Red halo, glowy heart

Nice observations! There's also that vortex that starts sucking everything up (although it only sucks up the Pheonix if I recall correctly in FLCL as opposed to a lot of ground n stuff).

It sucks up the Medical Mechanica hand in a swirly fashion, yes.

I'm not sure these are cross-references as much as they're examples of Tsurumaki doing the same stuff repeatedly.
