** A fair amount of the series is merely talking... about the implications of online escapism through virtual reality. While not just commentary on MMOs in general, there's now a whole section of the internet based on programs like IMVU, VRChat, and others where players are free to not only make their own online avatars, but the increased prevalence of VR headsets and even room set-ups means a player's motions can be transferred to the characters in game. And while SIGN is a series meant to take place in an action-based MMORPG, the way many of the characters use it almost like a chatroom is similar to how VRChat and IMVU and others would be used later on down the road.

** The series also manages to touch a bit on parasocial relationships, given how few of the characters know each other in real life and how certain relationships between them are potentially being used to make up for failed relationships outside instead of supplementing them; an entire episode is centered around Bear wondering how far he wants to go in taking care of Tsukasa vs how he's distanced from his own real-life son, and Subaru is attacked by a supposed "fan" who both wants to emulate and prove dominance over her, and has the attraction of the Crimson Knight who has started taking his protection of "Lady Subaru" way farther than just playing a role in a game. Parasocial relationships and long-distance support to virtual avatars one's grown attached to became a common problem among the Vtuber community about 10-15 years later, where some interest is healthy and good for their livelihood but too much can create problematic obsessions and the lack of distinguishing between the popular friendly persona/avatar and the person they are outside of that.

And this is all ''before'' releasing the 8 Phases.

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: The fact that Tsukasa's player is a girl]] is not that much a secret nowadays anymore.
* JerkassWoobie: Tsukasa, at first. He's cold and distant and tends to snap at and push people away, but when you know about his downright ''horrible'' childhood involving his mother dying when he was little and the abuse he'd been subjected to at the hands of his [[AbusiveParents rotten excuse of a father]], as well as all the other crap that happens to him as he's stuck in the game with no way of being able to log out, it's hard to not want to give him a hug. Plus, he does [[CharacterDevelopment grow out of the Jerkass part as time goes on]].

** Some fans prefer to think of [[spoiler: Tsukasa]] as a boy, as although [[spoiler: he accepts that he is female in real life, he doesn't hate his male identity that much and Subaru [[IfItsYouItsOkay doesn't care]] what gender he is anyway]], while others tend to just think of him [[spoiler:as a girl, like in real life]]; others still think of him as nonbinary.
