"Omae o korosu" = "I will kill you"

This is Heero Yuy's signature quote. Yurika fantasising over Akito saying
it to her is a Relena parody.

BTW, I've also found a couple of other references:

- In the "Nadesico Plus" book, there are various aestivalis custom color
schemes, one of which is listed as the color scheme for "Johnny Matsunaga"
(Combination of Johnny Ridden and Shun Matsunaga)

- The Japanese title ("Kidou Senkan Nadesico") is a reference to "Kidou
Senshi Gundam" and "Uchuu Senkan Yamato"
