* Many of the [=SpotPass=] teams contain references to the team's leader based on its composition.
** The Nino [=SpotPass=] team is mostly filled with promoted units, except for Nino, who is a mage. Nino joined you at a very low level near the end of the game she came from. By the time you're strong enough to beat her team, she'll join you at a low level again.
*** The Hero and Swordmaster could represent Linus and Lloyd respectively, and the assassin could be Jaffar.
** The L'Arachel [=SpotPass=] team has her joined by nothing but a Berserker and a Trickster, namely Dozla and Rennac!
** Lyn's team consists of two Paladins, a Falcon Knight, a Sniper, a Warrior, a Bow Knight, a Trickster, a War Monk, and a General. These are essentially the promoted classes of Lyn's Legion, namely: Kent, Sain, Florina, Will, Dorcas, Rath, Matthew, Lucius, and Wallace. The team is even arranged in order of recruitment.
** Serra's team contains a Mage, Knight and Thief, the classes of her three potential husbands: Erk, Oswin and Matthew.
** One that's a particular GeniusBonus: on any difficulty higher than Normal, all of Ashnard's troops have maxed Strength, referencing his SocialDarwinist philosophy. Even on Lunatic, his is one of the only teams where ''everyone'' shares a maxed stat, meaning this has to have been deliberate.

*** It's debatable as to whether or not that's really "Fridge" worthy, since if we operate on the assumption that Maribelle was telling the truth (and we have no reason not to) ''that's exactly what the game says anyways.''

* When Chrom confronts Gangrel about the Plegian bandits that have been going around terrorizing Ylissian citizens, Gangrel simply points out that all that means is that Ylisse has a bandit problem, not that Plegia is invading them. In fact, Gangrel makes a pretty strong point about why he (and well, Plegia) shouldn't really be held responsible...they're ''bandits''. Gangrel can't be held responsible for Plegian bandits leaving and attacking Ylisse - for all Ylisse knows, they're criminals ''within'' Plegia.

** The L'Arachel [=SpotPass=] team has her joined by nothing but a Berserker and a Trickster, namely Dozla and Rennac!

* The L'Arachel SpotPass team has her joined by nothing but a Berserker and a Trickster, namely Dozla and Rennac!

* The L'Arachel SpotPass team has her joined by nothing but a Berserker and a Trickster, namely Dolza and Rennac!

** And being the trickster he is, he probably ''sent'' the bandits to drag Maribelle across the border so he can claim they invaded them. He'd have to answer if the ''army'' did it...but if ''outlaws'' did it...You gotta give that guy some credit, despite being as AxCrazy and [[TheCaligula Caligulesque]] as he is.

** If you're wondering why [[spoiler:Morgan]] or any one of the Avatar's children is incapable of becoming [[spoiler:Grima's vessel,]] the simple answer is [[spoiler: Grima's blood]] in them is no longer pure. Remember, the Gimleal spent generations just to breed the perfect person to become Grima where they most likely only pair up the purebloods together to conceive a child in each generation until a perfect [[PureIsNotGood pureblood]] is born. The Avatar marrying Chrom or [[spoiler:Lucina]] for example would only produce a child that's no longer pure of Grima's blood, but also is tainted with the blood of the Exalted One making him or her incapable of becoming [[spoiler:Grima.]]

* I once read a theory that Henry [[spoiler: killed himself in his ending if you didn't pair him with anybody.]] At first, I thought, "Well, that seems ridiculous, all it said was that Henry [[spoiler: made a cold, clean break with history.]]" Then I thought about how eager Henry seems to die in a gruesome, painless fashion at times, and I was a bit more convinced. A while after that, I read Olivia and Henry's supports and found out he's got plenty to be depressed about. I thought about this theory some time later, and while I haven't been fully convinced, it's still plausible enough to unnerve and sadden me. - [=CandyEntrails=]

* Donnel's [[SouthernFriedGenius rapid academic development]] in his supports makes perfect sense when you take his "Aptitude" trait into account - not only does it speed up his combat development, but his academics and other mundane abilities as well. It also helps explain how his traps constantly manage to outwit trained soldiers... And [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Panne]].

* Why is the Avatar so powerful? [[spoiler:Well, he/she was specifically bred to be Grima's host, so it makes sense that'd they try to make him/her "perfect."]]

* The world map of Awakening is clearly the same world as [[FireEmblemAkaneia the Akaneia games]], which leads to a few moments of FridgeHorror. Mainly, Plegia's territory consists of what used to be Macedon, Dolhr, Grust... and ''Altea.'' Worse, the two areas you visit closest to Altea are ''[[DeathWorld a desert and a barren wasteland.]]'' Sure 2000 years have passed since Marth's time, but something ''horrible'' must have happened to his former homeland at some point...

* Panne's B Support with the Avatar raises the possibility that all the [[FireEmblemTellius Laguz from Tellius]] may be dead by the timr of Awakening...

* Mark when a Child Character is his/her mother/father... Seems well enough, until you think about it... [[spoiler:The Children are ALL [[TimeTravelEscape fleeing a definite]] BadFuture. You just married one of said time travelers and oh, you seemingly have secured the fate of the world, right? Well... why did you just meet your son/daughter, who is fleeing the same disaster? /shudder]] The fact that [[NoodleIncident the game doesn't answer any of that, and Mark's supports are generic]], does not help.

*** This issue may be answered with future DLC, which presumably involves [[spoiler: Krom's army traveling to the BadFuture timeline and saving ''that'' universe, alowing everyone from both realities to live happily ever after.]]

*** This issue may be answered with future DLC, which presumably involes [[spoiler: Krom's army traveling to the BadFuture timeline and saving ''that'' universe, alowing everyone from both realities to live happily ever after.]]

*** That only explains Mark's existence. Of course MU had his/her children before [[spoiler: Getting Possessed by Gimle]]. However, when Mark is say, the daughter of Lucina... [[spoiler: [[DoomedByCanon the cycle had]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption to have happened again]]-- at least one time where Lucina went back to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, fell in love with MU, but MU STILL got Possessed by Gimle, Killed Krom, and set forth the BadFuture AGAIN.]]

** This is explained by the fact [[spoiler:that the children are not only from the BadFuture, but also from an AlternateUniverse. So in one AU, MU did indeed father/mother his/her children before getting possessed by Gimle.]]
