* Why does the Elder size require both Level 20 and facing Scaly Pete the first time to unlock? The Elder Size, as well as the Mega Size, all have a severe burn scar across the left side of her head; the same exact injuries she was subject to while she landed on Scaly Pete's boat and getting caught on fire after being doused with gasoline.

* Each of the evolution paths requires a specific nutrient to advance it other than Mutagen for the higher tiers:
** The Bone line is the most obvious one, as it requires Minerals, in order to create and reinforce the shark's bony growths.
** The Shadow line requires Protein. Fitting for the evolution set that increases the shark's speed.
** The Bio-Electric line requires Fats. Since it generates electricity, it need a source of energy in order to produce it, hence the fat the shark burns so that his body can generate and maintain it's electrical field.
* The Digestion-specific evolutions grant a bonus to the nutrients gain (Protein, Fats, Minerals and Mutagen), along with a bonus to healing from eating, regardless of what the shark consumes. The Tiger Shark body, however grants a slightly smaller nutrient gain, to all nutrients but no healing bonus. Why? Since the passive ability of the body is called Garbage Disposal, it problably makes shark's stomach function the same way as scavenger animals: More aggressive digestive acids on it's stomach meant to neutralize dangerous, bacteria of what it eats, with the side effect of getting more nutrients but since it happens on the stomach, it doesn't improve the digestion and thus doesn't give a healing bonus. The Digestion ones instead focus on adjusting the shark's intestines to gather efficiently more of the specific nutrient, with the side effect of being able to get more out of the digested food.

** Not only that, considering the Horzine Logo you can see as a landmark and off in the distance ontop of Sky Scrapers. It's not hard to assume that Horzine may have a hand in all this.

* As mentioned in the main page, there is a strong essence of GaiasLament, as everything has a SicklyGreenGlow, and there's evidence of a Three Mile Island catastrophe that happened recently. One might consider the shark as GaiasVengeance.

One might consider the shark as GaiasVengeance. Trip certainly thinks so, often calling the shark "Nature's Vengance" during attacks on humans.

** Also, note that despite being called a Bull Shark, there's a great deal of ArtisticLicenseBiology at play, not just in their abilities but even physically, they look more like a Great White, and that's prior to their mutations. Even further, as they mutate further they are definitely so far removed from a Bull Shark that they are firmly a new sub-species. So, why does the narrator continue to call it a Bull Shark? The ShowWithinAShow is terrible and can't tell that this ''isn't'' a Bull Shark because they don't have a marine-biologist on payroll to overlook their footage and point it out.

* The narrator mentions that "cloning and gene-editing" are common in the military... and that Port Clovis is used as a dumping ground for suspicious military waste. This explains why our shark only gets beneficial mutations from the mutagens, and can pick and choose which ones to develop further; they're designed for customizing super soldiers.

* Why a bull shark and not a Great White? Great White sharks are large but they tend to avoid humans. Bull sharks, on the other hand, are responsible for most attacks on humans, and are saltwater fish that are able to swim in freshwater, and even have been known to swim up the Mississippi as far as Illinois.

* Carter's absence from Pearl's group of friends in many scenes is because he isn't their friend. On repeat viewings it becomes noticeable that other than his girlfriend Kay, he barely speaks a word to anyone else. It also makes sense he probably doesn't want to hang around Kay's friends on account Kay has a habit of randomly flashing them.

** Given how excited Buckley to see Wahoo at the party when all they did was talk, they might have an on-and-off relationship.
* One of the initial victims was horribly burned, but survived. Later another two victims die, and later still, its mentioned only three people have died. However, at Pearl's school it's mentioned (after the initial attack) "two people were murdered". Of course, seeing as these are high school students, who tend to exaggerate things like this.

* Wahoo and Buckley don't get together until the party. Zeus makes no mention of them when bringing up his spying on the others. This is also why, at the start, Buckley isn't bothered by her friend showing her, er, chest to her boyfriend (Wahoo being the only guy in the group prior to Todd's introduction, and it appears this happens very often).
