* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: There is no indication of their existence before Episode 17, and that hint is vague at best. The revelation of their true nature is a complete detour from the series's trajectory up to that point. Somewhat justified by the fact that their original plans for humanity were a lot more subdued, and involved people voluntarily and gradually surrendering their souls. But when their efforts to use Zero Two to destroy the Klaxosaur princess fail, and she exposes them instead, they decide to accelerate the timetable and annihilate all resistance by force.
