-Kinnikuman is a manga series that started ran from 1979-1987 before having a long hiatus and returning in 2011. It’s about the titular Kinnikuman, a comical superhero that participated in intergalactic wrestling leagues. It has spawned many spinoffs and sequels, it’s most notable being its 1st direct sequel, “Ultimate Muscle,” which is the only one that had any success in the west, due to being published in English and having an anime.
-Heidi is a classic 1881 German novel about Heidi, a girl who moves from Switzerland to the German alps and becomes a farmhand. Peter, Clara, etc are all characters. Though a Classic of western literature, it wasn’t well known until it was the book that the 1974 season of the anime “World Masterpiece Theater” adapted. The “Heidi” season is considered one of World Masterpiece Theater’s best seasons.
-World Masterpiece Theater was a kid’s anime that aired from 1969 to 1997 and had a revival from 2007 to 2009. It was an anthology anime that based each of it’s seasons on a book of classic literature, with each episode covering a few chapters. It is remembered very fondly by those who grew up during its original airing (like Hideki Sorachi, Gintama’s mangaka).
-The wackiness of the case and “OBJECTION!” Could be in reference to the video game series Ace Attorney, though it is likely just Gintama being Gintama in the former, and objections are typical in court proceedings in the latter, so maybe not
