* ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'' is a MerchandiseDriven series like many others, except for the fact that, while other shows have the characters just pull out new cards/powers/weapons and that's it, here you actually have in multiple occasions the characters stating that someone just played a new card that is available now in the newest set of booster packs, with the expansion set's name being said out loud. In particular:
** During Aichi's first match in the National tournament in episode 17, he plays ''Gordon, Knight of Truth'', with his opponent actually being shocked that he can already use properly a card that was released only some days ago.
** A similar scene happens in episode 22 when Gouki rides ''King of Demonic Seas, Basskirk''. Made more weird since almost every other unit he played before in that match comes from the same booster set as Basskirk.
** Episode 25 is basically a huge advertising for the then-recent release of the Nova Grappler and Oracle Think Tank Trial Decks.
** Episode 51 features a brief scene of a match between Emi and her friend: the latter plays a Neo Nectar deck, and at the end of the game she literally says that she played the new cards she just found in the new expansion set ''Awakening of Twin Blades''[[note]]Which indeed is the set where the Neo Nectar clan was introduced[[/note]].
