** Creator/AtsushiTamaru (Ayato) went on to voice the MasterSwordsman protagonist of another WizardingSchool LightNovel adaptation who walks in a partially clothed LoveInterest in the first episode, namely Oliver Horn from ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades''.

* ValuesDissonance: In Volume 7, Sylvia Lynneheym's musical and [[TournamentArc fighting circuit]] rivals, the GirlGroup Rusalka, plot to ruin her by starting the rumor that she has a boyfriend. While the plan is not exactly intended to be sensible in context (Rusalka's OnlySaneWoman objects to it as a waste of time), why this could seem like a worthwhile plan to ''anyone'' is potentially incomprehensible to Western viewers. It has to do with the extreme ContractualPurity culture around Japanese {{Idol Singer}}s: talent agencies exercise ''very'' tight control over their lives to produce a particular sound and image, to say nothing of the behavior of idol {{otaku}} if there's ever the ''slightest hint'' that their favorite idol might be in a relationship with someone. Add to this that author Yuu Miyazaki seems to have [[CreatorsCultureCarryover inferred Japanese mores for (apparently) non-Japanese singers who have a worldwide fanbase]]: if anything, relationship rumors would make Sylvia ''more'' popular in the West, since Western media outlets and fans love celebrity relationship drama.

** Ayato is very similar to a certain hero from [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline another, rather similar, anime]] from Creator/A1Pictures. With the dub of this anime out, [[Creator/ErikKimerer Ayato]] is now the [[WebAnimation/PokemonGenerations rival]] of [[Creator/BrycePapenbrook Kirito]] (although the latter only spoke in [[Anime/PokemonOrigins a different installment]] in which his rival sounds [[Creator/LucienDodge different]]).
