* HilariousInHindsight: In his "Small Page, Big Screen" review of the 2008 Speed Racer movie, posted March 2013, Y notes it is extremely strange how at the climactic Grand Prix, literally everyone in the stadium(save the film's villain) is rooting for Speed to win and absolutely elated that he pulls it off. A mere two months later, and Tony Kanaan wins the Indianapolis 500 to the elation of pretty much every single person watching the race.

It's just the old man, the one with long hair and the cloak, was believed to be Zangetsu when "Zangetsu" is actually the name that belongs to his Hollow.]]
