| 1 | * BannedInChina: Obviously banned in the occupied UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}, but now the book and its prequel are [[MediaNotes/SchoolStudyMedia required reading for high school students, and a course about the author's life and works is a prerequisite in college]]. |
| 2 | * RoleReprise: As mentioned in ''Trivia/NoliMeTangere'', Joel Torre would portray Simoun in the 1998 film of Rizal's life after previously playing Ibarra in television. He engages in RageAgainstTheAuthor against Rizal in what is presumed to be the author's hallucination the night before he dies. [[spoiler:Complaining of his UndignifiedDeath by suicide and hitting Rizal's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech lifelong vacillations]], he inspires Rizal to finally [[WhatCouldHaveBeen consider the value of revolution]] [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong by allowing his lamp to explode]]. We are shown the lamp exploding, [[GoryDiscretionShot while we are shown Simoun's face watching the conflagration]], [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation in a mixture of either]] [[WasItReallyWorthIt rapture, shock or horror]]. We are finally shown Rizal with a face of DissonantSerenity, having written this alternate ending until dawn, [[FaceDeathWithDignity leading to his execution]].]] |
| 3 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: See the main page for a gist of it. It is implied that this speech was directed towards Marcelo H. del Pilar and the other Ilustrados in Europe by Rizal after he gives up on their plans for assimilation, seeing it as futile. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: It has been stated that Rizal [[spoiler:regretted killing off Elias from ''Literature/NoliMeTangere''. Elias would have been the protagonist of this novel instead of Ibarra/Simoun]]. |
