  • Two random Market spectactors are watching the pre-fight videos before the first fight, and one of them comments he's not sure about Achilles' chances, causing his friend to question "who's side are you on here?" Then a Market official video reveals that Achilles has a new secret weapon they've been saving specifically for this fight, and the guy happily replies "our side, man, our side!" He then slips away to visit a betting kiosk and trades in his Confederate ticket for a Market one.
  • Achilles wakes up with Athena watching him, and hurriedly covers himself with the sheets when he realizes he's naked. This is shortly before Athena informs him "I studied your body" in an attempt to understand what makes him special as a jox.
    Achilles: Two arms, two legs... one... (lifts sheet and looks under it) hangover.
  • Achilles' sister-in-law tells him they're "having real meat" to celebrate his retirement, and Achilles looks in the stew pot to see a single hot dog floating in the middle of the broth.
  • Matsumoto's heartfelt speech to Tex gets a rather unintentional funny when Tex, at the end of the scene, shakes Matsumoto's hand:
    Tex Conway: Doc, meet the real Tex Conway.
  • When Athena prepares to take Achilles's place in the arena by knocking him out and stealing his uniform and helmet, she is found out when one of the technicians gives her the previously-established ritualistic butt-smack that he gave Achilles during the first battle. Rather than take it in stride, she reacts about how you'd expect a woman to react to an un-expected "Good Game."
  • As Alexander stomps towards Achilles in the final moments of the climactic battle, he lets out an Evil Laugh that goes on for several seconds before staggering and trailing off, as one logically would as they run out of breath and just stop laughing.
