* Back in chapter 13, upon first meeting Azu, Jian jokes that Shirou unlocked the "Harem Series" followed by adding Azu to the party, to Shirou's chagrin while wondering how she even knew about the word "harem". Around 30 chapters later we get Tyr's mini-chapter that reveals he pressured the Legendary Holy Sword to add his daughter in his party. It's likely that he probably slipped a comment or two about Shirou having a harem while doing that.

* In Chapter 30, we get to see Rin and Luvia from a different timeline than the one Shirou came from. Luvia drops the issue when she realizes it isn't her Shirou, but Rin continues to voice her concern to Zelretch. It's also implied that this is a post-UBW timeline as that is the only route that explicitly shows Shirou attending the Clock Tower. Once you connect these two information, suddenly it makes perfect sense for Rin's concern for Sword!Shirou as this isn't the first time she encountered an alternate version of Shirou.

* The whole Demon of the Sword stunt that Shirou pulled might be seen as suicidal and OutOfCharacter at first as he is from a Heaven's Feel timeline, which would mean that unlike his Fate and UBW counterparts, he's not going to get himself killed since that would make his loved ones sad....until you realize his goal is to solve the world's crisis ''as soon as possible'' so he can get back home faster before said loved ones realize he's gone.

* During Chapter 3, "Issei" talks about some of the most common ways a hero usually dies from and mentions that [[WomanScorned women]] cause a good number of heroes' deaths. Motoyasu berates him for being a paranoid nutjob. Come Chapter 27, five days before the 2nd Melromarc Wave and he's level 49 and mentions that he goes the extra mile to hunt monsters solo at night. Why was he doing this? That's because Motoyasu, albeit subconsciously, ''actually'' listened to "Issei's" ProperlyParanoid back in Chapter 3 and spent less time fooling around and didn't have sex with Myne.

* When Naofumi talks about the [Companion Series] in the Church of the Three Heroes, Itsuki tries to dismiss it by saying there wasn't a weapon series like that in the game while Motoyasu surprisingly asked how to unlock it even if he doesn't like the guy. At first, it can be {{HandWave}}d as Motoyasu putting into practice what he learned from Shirou, but as Chapter 43 reveals, that's because he unlocked a Weapon function on his own sometime after his talk with Shirou, which is why he didn't immediately dismiss the possibility unlike how his canon counterpart reacted during a similar situation at the start of the Cal Mira arc.

It doesn't really matter in the long run and a reviewer notes that you can just HandWave the whole thing by using the above explanation.
