History Fridge / GenLock

* Episode 6 gives us the teams new callsigns; Chaser (Chase), Huma (Yas), Trixx (Cammie), Shogun (Kazu) and Wraith (Val). Obviously, Chaser is just Chases old callsign and is a play on his name, but the others all have significance as well, with Wraith (the stealthy sniper) and Shogun (the frontline berserk warrior) being the most obvious. Yasamins huma is a reference to a phoenix like bird of Persian myth, said to never alight upon the ground, that can't be captured and embodies both male and female aspects; Yas is a former Union member of Iranian descent who defected and was "reborn" due to the gen;LOCK program, and she mentioned in her dream that she was naked but missing certain... parts, a possible reference to being androgynous or having a dual nature. Cammies Trixx could be a reference to either Trixx Sapphire, a software program used to overclock hardware, and/or the character Trixx from Miraculous Ladybug, who has a similar appearance to Cammies own pet Nugget. A perfect name for a hacker who reads manga and has a pet robo-fox.

* Being able to take down a Behemoth should be cause for celebration as it is a giant walking battleship/carrier. But it turns out to be a double edge sword. Taking one down causes it realize a huge cloud of nanite gas killing anyone that is unprotected in the surrounding area. The opening shows two of these monstrosities. Meaning the Union likely has another if not more of them. Each time the Polity takes one down they run the risk of killing their own people along with it.

* You have the capability of deleting your own memories when you're running on a cyberbrain. As your memories are essential to your personal identity this means that a careless edit could completely change who you are... [[spoiler:Even the highly traumatized Cammie has enough presence of mind to realize the obvious danger when she realizes she can just delete the memories of her own decapitation and doesn't go through with it when she gets the chance]].

* The Union Offensive at the Ether Nexus was extremely light, why? Almost certainly because they knew that such a high-profile target would be the perfect technology to draw out the Holons, and didn't want to commit many resources to what was going to certainly fail. They were never after the Nexus, no, the Union was after a Cyberbrain, indicating that they know enough about the gen:Lock technology to at least know what to look for and where to get it.

* The opening sequence shows that in-keeping with Cammie's rabbit theme, her Holon is at some point going to get a pair of huge rabbit ears. Now, you may have wondered why and/or how bunny ears would be authorised on a military mecha but there's actually a really good reason for it. Since Cammie has complained on several occasions that she's off balance because of the relatively long Holon legs adding the ears is actually a pretty easy and effective way to lower her centre of gravity, especially since Migas stated that it would be really difficult to adjust her leg's. Physics for the win!

* Thus far, we've been led to believe that BrainUploading in ''WebAnimation/GenLock'' is of the [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness "soft" variety]]—cut and paste rather than copy and paste—but the implication in episode 5 that Nemesis [[spoiler: might be running a copy of Chase's mind]] seems to suggest that might not be the case, which would open up numerous cans of worms.

* Cammie's holon and theme colour of green has a symbolic pun, someone in the military who is new and inexperienced is referred to as being green, which definitely describes Cammie compared to the other Gen:Lock

* In the Ether shoutout to ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', Val's avatar gets reskinned as Ren. Given that Ren is based on Hua Mulan, it's rather fitting for a genderfluid character.
** ALL of the outfits in the ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' ShoutOut make sense.
*** Chase as Jaune because both are [[TheLeader team leaders]].
*** Madrani as Blake because they defected from the Union and the White Fang, respectively.
*** Cammie as Ruby because both are the youngest.
*** Kazu as Sun because both tend to act with more independence.

* Fridge Hilarity: in its second appearance, Nemesis uses the Smoke it carries with it to block line-of-sight, preventing Val/entina from getting a clear shot. It's a literal ''[[StealthPun Smokescreen]].
