** And in ''Return of Kings'', the color green starts getting more prominence (color filter's, plant life, etc), signifying how the Green Clan is everywhere and rapidly gaining traction.

* Tatara died on 23:45 of December 7. Anna's birthday is on December 8, just 15 minutes away. Think about it. The side materials sort of hint to the fact that [[spoiler: Anna may never be able to celebrate her birthday like a normal kid ever again.]]
** Confirmed via the manga ''Memories of Red''. [[spoiler: In the final chapter, we see much more of the circumstances leading up to Tatara's death--specifically in their relation to Anna.]]

* In Episode 5, Saruhiko lands a clean throwing knife stab into Misaki's shoulder. While it is not very deep, and Misaki was clearly in pain, he managed to move on after that by simply bandaging the cut with a handkerchief, without any hint of an infection. A wound like that may fester pretty badly... Until you realize that Saruhiko threw the knife ''after'' heating it up with his ex-Homura powers, which pretty much sterilizes the blade like a high-temperature bullet.
** Also serves as a somewhat twisted CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming because even in his lunacy Saruhiko still takes care not to hurt Misaki too badly. You might notice that he actually threw two knives but only one connected and only barely, whereas the knives he threw at Rikio were more than effective.

** Kuroh's fight against Reisi in episode 8 gives an impression that he is being stupid for not using his [[BuffySpeak magic arm thingy]] or his sword. But then, he is against the Blue King who obviously has far greater supernatural power while he can't draw [[NamedWeapon Kotowari]] against anyone other than the Evil King. It means, the only chance Kuroh has against Reisi (a chivalrous person himself) is in normal, unarmed combat.

* I've had a suspicion about this ever since a certain WMG entry. The color balances/filters of the anime's various locations might very well [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience represent the territory of each Clan]]. If you pay close attention, a great majority of the city has a distinct, blue tone to it. Guess which Clan has unfettered access to the city's various resources and surveillance? Scepter4. See the red/magenta blanketing everywhere in Izumo's bar? That's HOMRA, the ''red'' clan's, headquarters. The interior of Weissman's blimp was pretty silvery. The Gold King's territory was littered with yellowish accents.
** That could be true however that's something that is a bit too subjective to the viewer since the filter's color is subjective to the viewer. It also doesn't help that the filter might go through a scene's background that is mostly close range to one instead of multiple colors and makes it look like a different filter color. For example most of Homra's scenes look purple rather than red to me and people have a hard time figuring what true color a character's eye or hair really is already. Whether it was done to signify something or not can only be confirmed by WordOfGod.

* Whoever [[spoiler: Shiro]] actually was, before [[spoiler: the Colourless King took over his body and confronted the Silver King with it on that fateful night]]. We never find out who he was and it isn't guaranteed that he had no family or friends who would be worried sick about his disappearance, and if so they'll never know what happened to him. And considering the ending, [[spoiler: he's as good as dead, or gone forever as the new host for the Silver King]].
** [[spoiler: This troper believes that the 'Shiro' body was the Colorless King's original body, because a) when he tried to possess Adolph/Shiro it showed both of them with that appearance (though that might have been because they were in the same body at that time) and b) because it makes sense for him to return to his original body after possessing people so he's have somewhere to return to and not have to constantly jump bodies, and c) Adolph/Shiro described the body as being an empty shell when his soul found it's way there, which it wouldn't be if there was a third owner of the body. But YMMV]]
** [[spoiler: This Troper believes that the original owner of that body was consumed by the Colorless King. Shiro/Adolf's dialogue suggests that this is what happens if the Colorless King inhabits a body for a sufficient period of time. There was also a flashback scene of the innocent boy getting snatched by the Colorless King. If it was the King's original body, and it had to have a soul to move, then it woudn't make sense for that body to be awake and aware when we are shown the POV of the Colorless King heading for it.]]
