* OriginStory: For the Arbiter's legacy within The Covenant as one of shame. [[spoiler: And also its ''true'' legacy, as one of honor and vengeance that Thel'Vadam eventually rekindles.

''Prototype'' also manages to have a well-animated fight scene towards the end of it.

* {{Dubtitle}}: Did they record the Japanese or the English dub first? In any case, the English home release captions the English dub on both audio tracks, making watching the Japanese track rather distracting due to inconsistent scripts (wildly different, in some cases), timing that's fine for English but horribly distracting to a regular viewer of subtitled Japanese, and very noticeable LullDestruction.

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The Spartan turns out to be female ([[TomboyishName Cal]]-141 is presumably short for something like "Calliope"). Given that she never once speaks until her helmet is torn off, which itself only happens after she's been mortally wounded, the trope seems to be played more so that O'Brien realizes that there is an actual human underneath the armor, rather than any particular importance on femininity.]]
