* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Justin's initial character concept for Taako was that of an absolute idiot. However, starting around the time of the Petals to the Metal arc, he becomes more of a quietly brilliant trickster, who only doesn't take advantage of his brilliance because of his fixation on returning to his life of stardom. It would be difficult to pull off some of his stunts if he were truly the idiot he pretends to be. That being said, he still does things like carry loose pudding around in his pockets.

* [[spoiler: BigBad: Confirmed to be this in Lunar Interlude V. They inhabit a recently-appeared thirteenth plane of existence (outside of the twelve which the game universe have come to accept until this point), bigger than the other twelve combined.

* TheExtremistWasRight: [[spoiler: The Reunion Tour Interlude shows that the reason she was so secretive and committed planet wide memory-wiping on everyone save herself was to recover the Relics so she could recombine them into the Light of Creation and use it to create a ward that would keep The Hunger from killing everyone she loved and countless innocent lives.]]
