* Of the countries that discriminate Adepts, China is the nation that treats them the harshest; Adepts are hunted down just ''after they are born''. China (since being run by the Communist Party) is defined by their tight, iron grip, control of the population to the point they never tolerate any form of dissent, as such, it makes sense for them to view Adepts as a threat - non-Adepts, after all, are ''much'' easier to control. As Adepts may possess extra-ordinary powers (especially if they can gain a septima that can control electronics, mind-reading, alter reality, etc.), they are not bound by the same restrictions that China imposes on its muggle citizens, therefore, they serve as a potential challenge to the Party's power.

* Adepts are ''obscenely'' powerful. Just the boss (powered by a TransformationTrinket) and main character Adepts are each individually a OneManArmy that can outright destroy entire areas and tear through enemy forces like a hot knife through butter, and some of them outright dip into localized RealityWarper scale. With the right power-ups like a proper Anthem or a Primal Dragon transformation, this escalates to world-scale threats through sheer evolutionary potential. It's no wonder the entire world shifted seemingly overnight into warfare and discrimination; a single Adept driven to violence would make the collateral made by a random [[Franchise/XMen Mutant]] look downright family-friendly.

* With the implication that ''Gunvolt 3'' and ''[=iX=] 1'' take place in about the same period (albeit in different timelines), one has to wonder: [[spoiler: What happened to ''iX’''[=s=] version of Moebius? Was he killed before Sumeragi and Asimov could find him? Was he never born at all? Or is he somewhere inside a Sumeragi base, being experimented on and abused in the same way Mytyl was?]]
* Concerning Rebellio's situation, he is arrested by Sumeragi and put on death row and the one thing preventing his sentence from being carried out is that he is tasked with eliminating Copen. His backstory notes that his family were taken hostage by an anti-Sumeragi terrorist group and is forced to committing acts of terrorism (before his arrest), out of fear that they'll endanger his family if he didn't comply. Knowing Demerzel, there are implications that ''he'' knew about said group and may have secretly arranged for that group to have his family be kidnapped so that he'll be forced to commit terroristic acts to protect them.\\\
In essence, he saw the adept's potential and endangered an innocent man's life so that he can have his Sumeragi special forces apprehend him and force him to become part of his Falcons, just so he can initiate a new member to his group (especially since he ''knows'' about [=iX's=] existence and needed his strongest fighters to deal with him).

* Gunvolt being "an angel" makes it more hilariously symbolic when Copen, [[spoiler:in the end, after realizing that the path he took is wrong but is unable to turn back]], calls himself "a demon".\\\
In keeping with the above, Gunvolt can also craft the Lucifer Clip, which brings his gameplay more in line with Copen's (high damage shots with reduced emphasis on powers). The item is somewhat fittingly named after the archetypical FallenAngel.

* Desna's divinations.
** Desna, when Copen first encounters her, is given a warning that goes like this: "Your life will be forfeit unless you turn back. Your path will lead you to abject misery. And you will take with you all you hold dear." And she's a known fortune teller. This proves true when by bringing all the muse shards to Zonda who had Mytyl, he (indirectly) facilitated her amnesia and transformation into an adept.
** Just how did Desna know about that? It's not mysticism and has nothing to do with her fortune telling. Zonda (Desna's boss) infiltrated Sumeragi beforehand to access their secret files and found out exactly who to capture and what to get for her group's goals. Therefore all of Eden knows exactly who they are going after, and Desna's warnings are most likely just based on common knowledge amongst the group.
