* {{Flanderization}}: For several seasons, Alonso did not have more personality than his tendency to blame his father for everything and childishly rant against him at every opportunity. In the fifth season he had some character development, but recently he has fallen again on the trend.

* InterchangeableAsianCultures: ''Big time.'' On one hand, Gonzalo always mentions China as his place of training, Sung-Yi is obviously Chinese for her features and accent, and there is a storyarc about the kidnapped son of the Emperor of China. On the other hand, Gonzalo is a ninja and she is a kunoichi, they speak Japanese during their reencounter, and several flashbacks (including the ones shown in the aforementioned arc) shows them training in Japanese martial arts with Japanese imagery. At the end, it is implied that they trained in both lands, but even so, the matter is frankly confusing, and it seems that the producers are not willing to clear it up.
* InvincibleHero: Gonzalo evolves into this after several seasons, to the extent that the show seems to have stopped trying to bring antagonists who can pose a threat to Águila.
