Reference to IRL Katsuragi Ace's retirement race, where people were majorly hyping up Ace, Rudolf and Mr. C.B. It got to the point where Team Rudolf and Team C.B. were having heated arguments with each other in the pre-race interview. Meanwhile Team Ace just showed up and uttered the infamous line above ("hood" instead of "ear cover", but it's the same word in Japanese), basically "LOL you both don't matter Imma just color-coordinate my shit," snatching the focal point of attention at that moment.

Wouldn't that make this historical_event or historical_connection rather than historical_reference_connection since none of the real-life figures are in sight?
