History Fridge / CControl

* Masakaki's animation often seems to be slightly off compared to that of the other characters. The CGI used to animate him seems to be a little rougher around the edges. [[UncannyValley This gives his movements an unsettling edge]] which [[IntendedAudienceReaction highlights just how otherwordly he truly is]].

* In many ways, the anime seems to have taken inspiration from both the Western and Eastern financial economies. Particularly on how short term plans of a economy in the past can stifle the same economy in the future, which was what effected Japan in the late forties and what is effecting America today.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_Card The Black Card is the most prestigious]]

* In episode six, when Sennoza was flirting with Mashyu, Kimimaro was put off by it. Now, one person can say that he was jealous. But, after watching episode nine I realized that Kimimaro was really acting like an overprotective father.

* Kimimaro's father's Asset [[spoiler:looks like Msyu with black hair,]] which gives off the impression that his father's future was Kimimaro's future which is [[spoiler:probably his daughter.]] Makes me want to cry.

* Sennoza's Midas Card shows a stereotypical angel, but his asset Karma is a nightmarish-looking giant bird skeleton with mechanical parts. This disconnect seems to be really jarring, considering that he uses his Midas Money to help the disenfranchised. But you have to consider that even though he uses his money for philanthropic endeavors, he's still using Midas Money to do it and has likely bankrupted many Entres. His good deeds are [[PoweredByAFOrsakenChild fueled by suffering and countless lost futures]].

This may be a metaphor for the fact that even though he uses his money for philanthropic endeavors, he's still using Midas Money to do it and has likely bankrupted many Entres. His good deeds are [[PoweredByAFOrsakenChild fueled by suffering and countless lost futures]].

* maybe YMMV (others may not notice it) but Masakaki animation uses often seems to. . . well act off compared to the others, like his CGI is a used using less advance technology, which helps you understand just how other wordily he truly is.

* Mikuni says "The world is taking Midas Money for granted." [[http://blog.wallstreetgrand.com/2010/09/the-world-is-addicted-to-money-printing/ When you consider the effects of introducing Midas Money are the same as printing money...]]
** Completely undercut by the fact that [[spoiler:Hyperinflation ends up saving Japan in episode 11...]]

* During deals, if an entre is injured, they begin to spout Midas money... That's right. Blood money.
** It's not just any kind of blood money; it's ''black''. What's synonymous with this? Oil.

* If you are indeed involved in futures trading, you've basically entered into a contract where you have agreed to trade your future for a fixed sum of money up front. The thing about futures contracts is that the asset is always transferred at a later date, so even if you keep winning, will there come a time where you have to pay the piper?
** The deal isn't like "futures trading", though (at least if Masakaki is to be believed). Rather, it's a cash loan with the Entre's future [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortgage_loan as collateral]]. Not to say that's not [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis still scary]].
* Mikuni uses Midas Money to buy Japanese government bonds (debt) and bail out the companies of fallen Black Card Entres. This is all good until you realize introducing Midas Money into the real world increases the money supply, thereby devaluing the currency - he's effectively stealing billions from everyone who owns Yen. Of course, [[EvilPlan this may be his plan from the beginning. ]]
** This is an effect that most of the movers and shakers in the series are well aware of (Mikuni and Jennifer's organization both). It's not a stretch to assume that the added side benefit of winning by small amounts is releasing smaller amounts of Midas Money into the real world in a controlled manner. On the other hand, mitigating the effects of high-powered Entres going bankrupt is something that even those who haven't studied economics can understand, so Mikuni's actions on-camera tend to focus more on that.
** This also means that if Mikuni were to ever go bankrupt or even just lose, Japan might collapse.
*** It's gone from might to definitely after the events of episode 9 where we see the effect it has on Japan when Mikuni loses twenty years of his future.
* The collapse of the South American and South East Asian financial district led to the Caribbean Republic and Singapore getting RetConned in itself is nightmarish. Given the state of the Tokyo as shown in Episode 8......
