* Why does Revolver Knuckle have two spinning gears? Is it because EverythingsBetterWithSpinning is being invoked twice? No, it's because they ''counter-rotate'', so their torque cancels each other out and Subaru's aim with that arm isn't thrown off.

* The manga has a chapter dedicated [[ADayInTheLimelight to an inside look the twelve Numbers]]. The number of said chapter? 12.

* Speaking of the Cyborgs, Zest [[CurbStompBattle Curb-stomping]] Due may seem a bit odd, because Due, being out in the field for so long, should have at least some combat experience, right? It seems true, until you remember her occupation. Due is an assassin, not a warrior. She stays in the shadows and camouflages into society with her IS, and strikes when necessary before retreating. She wasn't designed for being on the battlefield, as the only weapon she has are her claws. Zest, however, has a spear, which beats the claw because of its long reach.

* Why are all of the Combat Cyborgs female? [[spoiler:Jail intends to use them as surrogate mothers for clones of himself in case he dies.]]

* In one scene of the ''[=StrikerS=]'' manga, Subaru accidentally ''throws'' Teana over a wall during a team training exercise, and manages to jump over and catch her on the other side. Initially, this appeared to be simple RuleOfFunny, but it was actually {{foreshadowing}} for the [[spoiler:RoboticReveal]]. Subaru also is able to read the class rankings from a distance where Teana is unable to do so, and in episode 8, suggests that she can go for four or five days without sleep even while doing training.

* During the Final Battle, Scaliette uses a glove that shoots out [[RedStringOfFate red strings]]], attempting to bind Fate. Fate cuts through them with ease, and then smacks Jail down. Proving that you can't even fight Fate WITH Fate.
* In one episode, Subaru comments about the Yagami family being an invincible force should all six of them be in a battlefield. This is partly because of individual power level but also because the six of them fulfill the roles of a TSAB squad set up, more specifically...
** Vita is the front attacker.
** Signum and Zafira are the wing guards.
** Shamal is obviously the Full back.
** Hayate with Rein make up the center guard.

* When Vivio first transformed into her [[OlderAlterEgo adult mode]], why didn't she have the same look that the Saint Kaiser had even though she's [[spoiler: the Saint Kaiser's clone]]? Two reasons; first, at that point in time, she has not seen nor she did not know what the saint kaiser looked like, thus had no info on how she should look. Second, [[spoiler: even though she's been brainwashed]], her subconscious dictated what appearance she should model herself after when she transforms, and the person having the most impression on her is Nanoha, thus explaining why her hair followed the same style as Nanoha's after she transformed and her barrier jacket carried elements similar to Nanoha's barrier jacket.

** It's also implied that it's a point of pride for her, since it was a wound she received from her fight with Zest in what was apparently her first major engagement.
** It's hinted that Cinque likes to wear the eye patch, so she doesn't get it fixed because then she'd have no excuse to wear the eye patch anymore.

** Among all of the Numbers Cyborgs, the only one who has been shown to have no problems killing people for the lulz (as even Jail himself doesn't kill when it's unnecessary) is [[SmugSnake Quattro]]. When you [[FourIsDeath consider the Japanese's opinion about the number four,]] then you'll probably get why she is portrayed that way.

* FridgeHorror: The Bureau recruits grade-school children who are nobodies on their homeworlds and nobody seems to notice or care.
* FridgeLogic: We know Jail can make robot eyes, so why is Cinque still rocking the {{eyepatch|of power}} eight ''years'' later? InUniverse that is, since the actual reason [[RuleOfCool is obvious]].
