* VirginityFlag: Because Lacade's wide scale [[{{Orgasmatron}} pleasure magic]] only affects those who have already "tasted the forbidden fruit", its use reveals who amongst the cast are virgins. Some obvious, like confirmed parents Alzack and Bisca being affected or {{CelibateHero}}ine Lucy being unaffected. [[UnexpectedVirgin Some more surprising]], like hard drinking party-girl Cana being unaffected too.

** Averted in the ChristmasEpisode, which depicts said holiday in the Western style opposed to the Japanese style, with emphasis on friends and family instead of romance (ShipTease not withstanding).

** During the marathon episode, Fried traps Evergreen, Bisca, and Max Alors inside a magic cage that won't open until they study for and ace an exhausting magical test. It's set up like it's going to be a running gag[=/=]BPlot, but it never comes up again and the three disappear for the remainder of the episode.



* WholePlotReference: The entire Tower of Heaven arc is full of parallels to the Etherion arc from ''Manga/RaveMaster'', the least subtle of which being that the villains of both look almost exactly the same. Other similarities include the casino beginning, the way Jellal is completely dismissive of Natsu, how he believes he's in the right, the way Natsu sets down an unconscious Erza and talks about what she's supposed to be like-but isn't thanks to the villain, and even the fireworks ending. Also, the KillSat spell that crystallizes around the Tower of Heaven is ''called'' Etherion.

** A ''lot'' of characters who appear in the guild very early on (like Drov, the buck-toothed jerk who actually has his name dropped like a character who is meant to be important, and a mage who dresses like a traditional witch with a pet bird) don't show up anymore because their characters go nowhere and Hiro just unceremoniously drops them, using the TimeSkip when the guild fell into decay without its strongest members as the excuse to push them out of the story by saying [[PutOnABus they up and left because working at the guild wasn't putting enough food on their tables anymore.]] Some have such little impact on the plot and are so transparent they don't even make it into the anime. There's also the three extras from the chapter quietly introducing Kinana (who plays a much more prominent role in the anime); Joey Fullborn, at least, shows up in the 2014 anime during the climax of the Grand Magic Games Arc [[FreezeFrameBonus among the crowd of guilds]] gathered at the courtyard fountain, apparently having transferred into Quattro Cerberus, implying that these guild members who leave probably left after certain events took a toll on their fellowship or their plans took them elsewhere, [[spoiler:and when the guild ''actually'' disbanded, it can be HandWaved that the disappeared extras never came back and only the most devoted members we know best returned.]]
