1* CrazyIsCool: XCOM in general comes off as this a lot of the time, with the list of ''Fanfic/ThingsXCOMOperativesAreNoLongerAllowedToDo'' being canon.
2* HarsherInHindsight: Following the Mission to Newfoundland, Yang is turned into a MEC Trooper and loses her arms and legs. In Canon, Yang ends up losing her right arm to Adam during the Vytal Festival and spends half the next season working up enough mojo to put on a cybernetic replacement. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Here, though, she did it because XCOM was forced to turn Blake into a MEC Trooper, and she didn't want her partner to feel alone.]]
3* HilariousInHindsight:
4** In one early chapter, Blake mentions having to dumpster dive for food as a kid. This of course was writtern before Volume 4 showed that this was certainly not likely to be a concern she had growing up.
5** Early in ''[=RWBY=] Within'', Blake asked Shen for a melee weapon. While Shen initially refused because [=XCOM=] operatives tended to avoid hand-to-hand combat, he ultimately gave her a [[HotBlade laser-powered knife]]. Fast forward to ''VideoGame/XCOM2'' - which had its first trailer released few weeks after this chapter - and not only we get a new class capable of using swords, but their fully upgraded weapons use a very similar technology (with plasma instead of laser, but the mechanic seems to be the same).
6** Ren's NomDeGuerre, "Shrike", matches the name of [[spoiler: a renegade faction of former XCOM soldiers]] from ''VideoGame/XCOMChimeraSquad''.
7* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler: Colonel Zhang in RWBY Within. Beagle and Hogarth in Remnant Unknown.]]
8* UnexpectedCharacter: [[spoiler: Nobody expected anything from ''VideoGame/TheBureauXCOMDeclassified'' to show up, much less Asaru]].
