* In real life mythology, according to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM91b810pF4 Gaijin Goomba]], Kirin are normally pacifistic creatures (so much so that they don't walk on grass) that only show agression to wicked creatures. Kirin in ''Monster Hunter'' attack all hunters in sight. [[AlwaysChaoticEvil The]] [[HumansAreBastards implication]] is horrifying...

* The reason Raging Brachydios cannot be captured, despite being vulnerable to traps, is because the Guild has no means of safely confining one. While Brachydios would already be hard enough to contain, Raging Brachydios is twice its size and causes much stronger explosions, making it all but impossible to contain. Additionally, the creature is also biologically immortal, meaning that the Guild would eventually have to release or put it down, since they couldn't keep it locked up forever. Making slaying it the only reasonable course of action.

* The Charge Blade gaining an exceptionally strong defensive block during its Guard Point move with Element Up Mode active[[note]]accessed by loading up the weapon's phials, performing the level 3 Amped Elemental Discharge, then pressing R to cancel into a sword roundslash[[/note]] seems like just another gameplay mechanic to encourage the use of Guard Points alongside regular blocks -- unless one is familiar with the concept of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_armour Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) Plating]], which involves dampening the impact of ballistic weapons by using shaped directional charges to deflect or destroy projectiles. Charge Blade users are therefore carrying human-sized ''explosive ballistic shields'' with them at all times, one of the weirder examples of ShownTheirWork present in ''Monster Hunter''. Of course, there's the matter of [[FridgeLogic why the shield isn't blown apart]] each time a Guard Point is successfully used...
